Description
The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100277718 is a genuine OEM condensate trap engineered specifically for use with Lochinvar and A.O. Smith high-efficiency condensing boilers and water heaters. Condensate traps play a critical role in the proper operation of condensing appliances — they safely collect and discharge the acidic condensate produced during the combustion process, preventing it from backing up into the heat exchanger or flue system and causing premature corrosion or equipment damage.
Why Condensate Management Matters
High-efficiency condensing boilers and water heaters extract maximum heat from combustion gases, causing water vapor in the flue to condense. This condensate is mildly acidic and must be properly routed away from the appliance. A properly functioning condensate trap ensures a sealed, reliable drain path while maintaining the correct pressure differential within the flue system — keeping your equipment running safely and efficiently.
