The condensate trap plays a crucial role in extracting the discharge that accumulates in the primary heating/cooling system. This accumulation is a result of temperature and pressure changes within these systems. Connected to the condensate trap is a discharge pipe, which facilitates the removal of any retained water from the property. It's important to note that the water held in the condensate trap may contain mild levels of acid, resulting from carbon dioxide formed during boiler operation and dissolving in the water.
In consideration of potential water damage, discharge pipes are typically constructed from plastic rather than metal. This precautionary choice is made because the water in the system could gradually damage a metal pipe over time.
