Condensate can damage the water
heater, please read carefully page 4
in this installation manual.
To prevent condensate from draining
back to the appliance, a condensate
collector (B) and trap (C) should be
used. The trap must maintain 3" of
fluid and the drain tube must pitch
down from the appliance.

Pipes overlap by 1.25" (37 mm). Therefore
when cutting to size, add 2 x 1.25 = 2.5"
(65 mm) to the extension pipe length (X)
needed for installation.
Deburr the sharp edges, other wise the
gaskets might get damaged, which can
result in the system no longer being air
tight.
