I'm installing another Takagi tankless, and doing the condensing high efficiency one.
Coming out of the bottom, there is the condensate drain which this time I can't dump
into a hole in basement. I'm running it into a neutralizer, then coming out of that with
3/4 PVC.
1) do I still need the 3/4 running trap with the neutralizer? I'm guessing I do since it looks like
some air could flow up through neutralizer. Some people build a little T and vent in after the trap.
Necessary?
2) where to from here? there is a 2" ABS drain directly under, and laundry/washer
an arm length away. I'd like to avoid dumping into the laundry sink, but instead go
into fitting more permanently. 3/4 ABS bushings look pretty rare, and wasn't sure
whether I should go into wye, santee, airgap, and whether I should transition up in size
near the neutralizer and then transition PVC-ABS hubless coupling in between.
should the tie into DWV be above flood level of sink or is below ok?
any hints or pics?
Thanks,
allan
