WADEX Chimney Condensate Collector 114 mm

The WADEX chimney condensate collector 114 mm is a precision-engineered component designed to manage moisture within chimney flue systems. By effectively capturing and draining liquid condensate that forms during the combustion process, this unit prevents moisture accumulation that could otherwise damage the chimney structure or impair heating efficiency. It serves as a critical protective element for maintaining the longevity and safety of flue installations.

Advantages

This condensate collector offers a robust solution for moisture control, ensuring that acidic condensate is safely removed from the flue path. Its durable construction is specifically designed to withstand the harsh conditions found within chimney systems, providing long-term reliability. By integrating this component, users can significantly reduce the risk of corrosion and structural degradation, thereby extending the overall service life of the chimney installation and maintaining optimal draft conditions.

Suitable for

• Gas and oil heating systems
• Modern chimney flue installations
• Systems prone to high condensate formation
• Residential and commercial heating setups

When it may not be suitable

This component is not intended for use in chimney systems with diameters other than 114 mm. It is also not suitable for applications involving solid fuel appliances where soot accumulation might block the drainage outlet, unless specifically designed for such maintenance requirements.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 114 mm
• Material: Corrosion-resistant steel
• Function: Condensate collection and drainage
• Compatibility: Standard 114 mm flue systems

How to use

The condensate collector should be installed at the lowest point of the vertical chimney section or directly below the flue connection. Ensure that the drainage outlet is connected to a suitable disposal system or a neutralizer tank to safely manage the collected liquid. The unit must be mounted securely to ensure a tight seal with the rest of the flue pipe, preventing any leakage of flue gases into the living space.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the exact inner diameter of your existing chimney system
• Ensure there is adequate space for the drainage connection
• Check local building regulations regarding condensate disposal

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the drainage outlet to ensure it remains free of debris and that the condensate flows freely. Annual maintenance checks are recommended to confirm the integrity of the seals and the overall condition of the collector.
