Condensate line and water?

Question

Should a condensate line have water in it?

Vince · Answer

Yes only when it's condensing it should hold water is there enough fall on the pipe if not it could freeze and the boiler will go into Lockout

David · Answer

no it should have a fall to drain and not have standing water in it, as it could freeze blocking pipe this will interfere with the normal operation of the boiler.

Zoltan · Answer

The condensate line should drain to the outdoors and during humid weather you should see plenty of water dripping from it. If it's not dripping, it's not draining! If there is standing water in the drain pan, your condensate drain is clogged
