Condensate siphon Alca plast AKS5 for condensate drainage with float valve

The Alca plast AKS5 condensate siphon is designed for safe and reliable removal of condensate from HVAC and refrigeration systems. Intended for connection to condensate drain lines, the unit collects condensate and ensures controlled discharge while the built-in float valve prevents backflow and maintains proper drainage. The siphon is suitable for installations where a compact, easy-to-install condensate outlet is required for wall- or floor-mounted drain lines in residential and commercial settings.

Advantages

The AKS5 features a float valve that automatically seals to prevent reverse flow of wastewater, reducing the risk of odours and contamination entering the device. Its compact design allows installation in confined spaces near indoor units or condensate collection trays. The product is compatible with common condensate drain connections and is constructed to provide continuous drainage without manual intervention.

Suitable for

• Condensate drainage from wall-mounted air conditioners and split systems
• Condensate removal from refrigeration units and cold rooms
• Drain lines connected to indoor HVAC units and fan coil units
• Residential and light-commercial installations requiring compact condensate outlets

Key specifications

• Function: condensate siphon with integrated float valve to prevent backflow
• Application: for condensate drainage from HVAC and refrigeration equipment
• Installation: suitable for wall- or floor-mounted drain lines and condensate trays
• Design: compact body for installation in confined spaces
• Material characteristics: corrosion-resistant components suitable for condensate water

How to use

Connect the AKS5 siphon to the condensate outlet of the indoor unit or condensate tray using the appropriate drain hose or pipe. Ensure the siphon is positioned so the float valve can operate vertically and that the discharge outlet is routed to an appropriate drain or safe disposal point. Verify that connections are secure and that the drain slope allows free flow of condensate to the siphon. Periodically inspect the siphon and float mechanism for debris and ensure unobstructed operation.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, install the siphon in an accessible location to allow periodic inspection and cleaning. Use compatible drain hoses and maintain a slight downward slope toward the discharge. If installation conditions include freezing temperatures or corrosive environments, select appropriate protective routing and materials for the condensate line.
