Can someone tell me what these boiler pipes are

[zuber ali]

As per title. I know top is flue, long diagonal is the condensate. What is the short third one. This was originally pointing upwards and when I twisted 180 to current position water fell out .....

PRV outlet (pressure relief).

Boiler flue terminal, safety discharge pipe for if the pressure relief valve were to operate and the other pipe is the condensate pipe, from when the boiler condenses. The safety discharge pipe should be terminated where it can’t cause harm to passer by’s.

Shouldn't the pressure release outlet point back towards the wall? In the past, plumbers have told me that it should. In the event of the boiler releasing hot water, it will run down the wall rather than shooting on to someone walking past.

I am not a plumber though.

It should, in fact these days the 'specified' method would be to run the pipe down to ground level and then protect the outlet with a cage but that's mighty.

Looks like whoever did the new render has probably fecked about with it. That Condensate should also be increased in size or at the very least insulated but hey it's all just semantics

I love the soil pipe!

I didn't look that far up, it's actually cladding that's been fitted, rather than a new render, hopefully they haven't stuffed the flue of the boiler too. Wouldn't be the first time I've been to a boiler where the outside was re-clad and as the flue wasn't long enough they had actually pulled it clear of the turret, rather than get the flue extended or boxed round it, luckily it was just the outside air intake that was loose and the internal flue was still connected.

I would say EWI with monocouche. I think you were correct to say it's new render

 

[zuber ali]

Thanks all. Fyi correct ewi. Flue was extended so all good. Thanks

Surely the new render isn't that deep though, is it? Taking the soil pipe as the gauge, which would normally be 5 odd mm off the original wall then it must be > 70mm thick, but the window surround/ledge doesn't look overly deep? Or is just the way I'm looking at it?

Polystyrene insulation onto concrete wall then rendered

Sorry, EWI - External Wall Insulation and a thin coat render. Usually from around 70 to 120mm thick.
