INSTALLATION

Condensation discharge

The condensation discharge network must be suitably

sized and the pipeline positioned so that it keeps a

constant inclination, never less than 1%. In the vertical

installation, the discharge pipe is connected directly to

the discharge tray, positioned at the bottom of the side

shoulder underneath the hydraulic fixtures. In a horizontal

installation the discharge tube is connected to the one

already present on the machine.

- If possible, make the condensation liquid flow directly

in a gutter or a “rainwater” discharge.

- When discharging directly into the main drains, it is

advisable to make a siphon to prevent bad smells

returning up the pipe towards the room. The curve

of the siphon must be lower than the condensation

collection bowl.

- If the condensation needs to be discharged into a

container, it must be open to the atmosphere and

the tube must not be immersed in water to avoid

problems of adhesiveness and counter-pressure that

would interfere with the normal outflow.

- If there is a height difference that could interfere with

the outflow of the condensation, a pump must be

mounted:

- in a vertical installation mount the pump under the

lateral drainage tray;

- in a horizontal installation the pump position must be

decided according to the specific requirements.

Such pumps are commonly found in commerce.

However, on completion of the installation it is advisable

to check the correct outflow of the condensation liquid by

slowly pouring about ½ l of water into the collection tray in

about 5-10 minutes.

Connect to the condensation collection tray discharge

union a pipe for the outflow of the liquid blocking it

adequately. Check that the drip-collector extension is

present and correctly installed.
