I am considering replacing an existing 50gal 4500W conventional electric HWH with a Navien (propane) 199,900 BTU/hr condensing-type tankless water heater. I weighted several factors and decided to opt for the condensing unit over the non-condensing type due to the lower exhaust temperature and cheaper cost of the exhaust-line materials. My concern is how to handle the condensate line. The unit will be mounted on an external wall, inside an existing garage which will be converted to a multiuse room. How is the condensate line typically managed? Any issues with respect to length of line, or how it should be routed? Should it be routed to a French drain?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
