The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100284286 Condensate Trap Assembly is an essential accessory for high efficiency heating and cooling systems which is used to capture and dispose of condensate from gas water heaters and boilers. This assembly operates by collecting the water formed by the combustion process so that it can be drained away from the unit. In that way, the trap contributes to efficient expelling of condensate and keeps the equipment in proper working condition, from development of problems due to water buildup. It has a well-built construction and durability to give the best solution to maintaining the efficiency and effectiveness of heating systems in both the residential and commercial building.
