I'm prepping the plumbing to receive the condensate line for a TriangleTube Prestige Solo 110 boiler we'll be having installed. I have three questions regarding draining the condensate line:
(1) The plumber referenced installing a "drip catcher," for the condensate, as in not connecting the condensate line directly to whatever line I drain it into. I can't find any references to "drip catchers" on this site or elsewhere; can the condensate be plumbed directly into a waste line?
(2) The plumber says my city requires a self priming trap for this installation, which he disagrees with due to the boiler being in constant use (DHW + heating, so it will see year-round use). I don't have any problem installing one, just curious if anybody can lend some background to this requirement (again, does it have to do with seasonal use of boilers?).
(3) Here I'm looking for some advice: In the photo are two drain lines, a 2" copper laundry drain and a 3" CI that drains a low-flow toilet sink from a half-bath above. My plan currently is to install the 3x2 CI combi shown in the picture to the space where the cleanout is currently installed (moving the cleanout up), but I've still got to squeeze a trap in and obviously I can't notch the 4x6 PT stud. The condensate line will be routed along the wall on the right, approximately marked by the orange bubble level.
What would you do to clean this up? Drain to the 2" copper, eliminating the extra trap? Place the CI trap along the wall? Something else entirely that I'm just not seeing? I'm trying to keep all the plumbing in the wall as much as possible, but don't see any way to avoid ducking around that 4x6 post on the right. I appreciate any suggestions!
