Condensate drain line for tankless water heater into vent drain cleanout pipe

Question

I’m converting from a tank to tankless condensating gas water heater into an exterior water heater closet. I’ve pulled new GFCI electrical and even added a light and switch.

My question is getting the condensation drain line to drain into a 2” sewer drain pipe in the same closet.

Is here an adapter to run the 1/2” drain line into the cleanout plug? Or is there some type of easy coupling tee available to place inline without removing the white PVC drain vent pipe?

Answer 1

Typically the condensate line goes into a neutralizer if needed (if you have metal drain pipes, or you city requires it) and then into a trap, so you put a trap connector into the cleanout socket.

Answer 2

It is called "Drain Saddle Connection" with 1/4" Quick Connect
