Condensate neutralizer -

Hi all, I was in the boiler room at my work yesterday and noticed that the boiler condensation drain was dripping water as it should but…. I do not see a condensate neutralizer , there appears to be a y pipe/ trap apparatus at the bottom of boiler and drain attaches to it. Boiler and building are from 2008/2009. Do we need to be concerned at this point?

Depends on what type of drain it is going to. If it is all pvc then it is ok, if it is cast iron it needs a neutralizer.0

Looks like pvc. I’m not sure what it connects to beyond the buildingSlant Fin Galaxy GG100(1986) , 2 zone hot water baseboard, T87 Honeywell thermostats.0

While it is probably diluted by the time it hits the public sewer, manholes and the base are concrete, the condensate really attacks concrete

The house may be PVC or ABS plumbing but the lateral to the street may be cast or Transite Portland and asbestos cement. Transite needs a neutralizer.0
