Condensate Drain Syphon ALCADRAIN AKS1Z DN32

Condensate Drain Syphon ALCADRAIN AKS1Z DN32 is a DN32 syphon engineered to collect and discharge condensate from HVAC and refrigeration systems. The device uses a mechanical ball sealing system that allows condensate to flow out while preventing backflow of sewer gases and odors. Designed for connection to condensate lines on boilers, air conditioners and chillers, this syphon provides a compact in-line solution for safe condensate removal and system protection.

Advantages

The syphon’s ball mechanism ensures reliable sealing without the need for water traps, reducing the risk of dry-out and blockages. Its DN32 size and straight-through configuration allow for straightforward installation into existing condensate lines. The unit is made for continuous operation in typical HVAC and refrigeration environments and minimises the risk of unpleasant odours entering technical rooms. Low-maintenance design and mechanical operation reduce the need for frequent servicing.

Suitable for

• Condensate drainage from boilers and hot-water systems
• Drain lines of air conditioners and split systems
• Chiller condensate and refrigeration equipment
• Small commercial and residential HVAC installations

Key specifications

• Nominal connection size: DN32
• Sealing method: mechanical ball valve
• Function: one-way condensate discharge with gas/odour prevention
• Installation orientation: in-line horizontal or vertical condensate pipe runs where permitted by system layout
• Materials: corrosion-resistant components suitable for condensate exposure
• Maintenance: low-maintenance mechanical operation, service access for inspection

How to use

Install the syphon into the condensate drain line at an appropriate location downstream of the condensate-producing appliance and upstream of the sanitary sewer or external drain, following local plumbing codes. Ensure correct pipe alignment and secure connections to DN32 piping or adapters. Verify the syphon orientation recommended by the system designer and purge any trapped air before commissioning. Regularly inspect the unit for debris accumulation and verify that condensate flows freely through the seal and discharge path.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible DN32 piping and provide access for periodic inspection. Avoid chemical exposure beyond typical condensate composition from HVAC and refrigeration systems. If condensate contains oils or aggressive contaminants, consider pre-treatment or an appropriate separator upstream to protect the syphon and downstream drains.
