Water dripping from the flue or condensate pipe connection
Advertisements
Possible Causes
Loose condensate trap connections, Cracked condensate hose, Incorrect flue slope causing condensate backflow, Failed flue joint seals
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power. Condensate is mildly acidic; wear gloves and eye protection.
- Check condensate joints: Inspect the trap and hoses for loose clamps or cracks. Tighten or replace as needed.
- Verify flue slope: Ensure the flue is installed with the correct fall back to the boiler or to the drain, as specified by Viessmann.
- Inspect flue joints: Look for water staining around flue connections. Replace any damaged seals and reassemble according to the installation manual.
- Test drain: Pour a small amount of water into the condensate trap and confirm it drains freely without leaks.
