Condensate disposal

All condensing boilers generate condensate discharge which needs to be piped away from the appliance in a plastic pipe.

The amount of condensate generated depends on the efficiency and operating status of the appliance. Depending on operating temperatures, the appliance will condense in both heating and hot water modes and can generate up to 2.5 litres of condensate an hour.

Never terminate or discharge into any open source, including: sink, bath, shower, bidet, toilet etc.

Note: any external condensate pipework should be protected with weather resistant insulation to help prevent freezing or be run in 32mm plastic waste pipe.

The condensate connection on the Worcester Bosch appliances is in 21.5mm polypropylene. The pipe should be extended and run away from the appliance with a constant fall of 3 degrees or 52mm in every metre.

The condensate trap is supplied with the appliance for installation externally from the appliance cabinet.

The condensate pipe can terminate into any one of four areas:
