WADEX Chimney Condensate Collector 147 B D

The WADEX Chimney Condensate Collector 147 B D is a high-quality component engineered to manage moisture within chimney systems effectively. By capturing and draining condensate that forms during the combustion process, this collector prevents liquid from accumulating inside the flue, thereby protecting the chimney structure and ensuring long-term operational reliability.

Advantages

This condensate collector offers superior durability and resistance to the corrosive environments typically found in flue systems. Its robust construction ensures a tight seal and consistent performance, which is vital for maintaining the integrity of the chimney lining. By facilitating efficient drainage, it helps prevent damage caused by moisture ingress, ultimately extending the lifespan of the entire heating installation and supporting safer operation.

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 specifically designed for systems where condensate management is required. It may not be suitable for solid fuel fireplaces or wood-burning stoves where high temperatures or soot accumulation could interfere with the drainage mechanism. Always verify compatibility with your specific flue type before installation.

Key specifications

• Material: Corrosion-resistant steel
• Function: Condensate collection and drainage
• Compatibility: Standard chimney flue systems
• Design: Specialized moisture management profile

How to use

The collector should be installed at the lowest point of the chimney system or at the base of the vertical flue section. Ensure that the drainage outlet is connected to a suitable disposal system or container to allow for the safe removal of collected liquid. Regular inspection of the drainage path is necessary to ensure it remains clear of debris or blockages.

What to consider before purchase

• Check the diameter of your existing flue system
• Verify compatibility with your heating appliance type
• Ensure there is adequate space for the drainage connection
• Confirm the material compatibility with your chimney liner

Usage recommendations

Regularly check the condensate drainage outlet to ensure it is not obstructed, as a blocked collector can lead to liquid backup and potential damage to the chimney system.
