Glow-Worm Condensate Trap - 0020020723

A condensate trap collects water (condensate) that forms inside a heating or cooling system due to temperature and pressure changes. It then allows this water to be safely discharged away from the appliance.

This is a genuine Glow-Worm part (0020020723) designed for specific Glow-Worm models. It is essential to verify compatibility with your particular appliance model by checking your user manual or consulting a professional.

It is recommended to visually inspect the condensate trap and its pipework at least annually, or more frequently if you notice any issues with your heating system's performance. Regular checks can prevent potential blockages.

While the part itself is straightforward, installation involves working with your heating system. For safety and to ensure correct operation, professional installation by a qualified heating engineer is strongly advised.

A blocked condensate trap or pipe can cause water to back up in the system, potentially leading to error codes, reduced heating efficiency, or even system shutdown to prevent damage.

If you suspect a blockage, turn off the appliance. Carefully disconnect the trap and discharge pipe, and flush them with clean water to remove any debris. Reconnect securely. If unsure, contact a professional.

Check that the trap is securely fitted and all connections are tight. Inspect the trap for any cracks or damage.

The discharge pipe or the trap itself may be blocked. Carefully inspect and clear any obstructions. Ensure the discharge pipe has a clear run to the drain.

This often indicates a blockage in the condensate pipe or trap. Follow the steps for clearing blockages. If the issue persists, consult a qualified engineer.

This could indicate a partial blockage or air being drawn into the system. Check for obstructions and ensure proper installation.
