The McAlpine SOAK1GR condensate soakaway container is a highly practical groundwork drainage solution engineered for the safe external disposal of acidic boiler condensate. When discharging into an internal waste pipe is not feasible, this unit allows installers to route the condensate directly into the ground, neutralising the fluid via limestone chippings before it safely dissipates into the surrounding soil. Manufactured from heavy-duty plastic, the robust container is designed to withstand subterranean pressure and adverse soil conditions, ensuring long-lasting subterranean performance.
Measuring 300mm in length and 110mm in diameter, the unit provides a generous internal volume of 5.81 litres to accommodate heavy condensate flow during peak winter operation. It features versatile connection options, incorporating both top and side inlets that seamlessly accept standard 1 1/4-inch or 1 1/2-inch overflow pipework. This practical design provides heating engineers with maximum routing flexibility when terminating the pipe run, ensuring full compliance with current building regulations regarding safe external condensate management.
Q: What is the intended purpose of this soakaway container?
A: It provides a safe, regulation-compliant method to discharge and neutralise acidic boiler condensate into the external ground.
Q: What medium should be used inside the container to neutralise the acid?
A: The container must be filled with suitable limestone chippings, which effectively neutralise the acidity of the fluid before dispersal.
Q: What size inlet connections are accommodated by this unit?
A: The soakaway features integrated connections that accept both 1 1/4-inch and 1 1/2-inch standard plastic overflow pipes.
Q: What is the total volumetric capacity of the container?
A: It holds a volume of 5.81 litres, offering ample space for the limestone medium and incoming condensate fluid.
