Mcalpine do a condensate valve that does that job but looks a lot neater, it's in their little blue catalogue page 14, called a convalve funnily enough.
So is it OK to discharge both condensate and PRV into a tundish discharging to waste? How would anyone know if the PRV was leaking or worse? What if the filling loop was letting by and the system pressure reached 3 bar and the PRV was discharging with no visible warning?Dan_Robinson said:There is a PRV in the boiler, as mentioned above. Inside that tundish are two pipe tails. One for the condensate (a loop of 20mm tubing) and the other for the PRV.
Yes, but who's going to bother to do that? Maybe the service engineer, but that could leave the PRV leaking for a year without anyone knowing. Do the MIs prescribe that arrangement?Dan_Robinson said:Tundish is lowered by the force of a little finger for observation.
The second PRV won't necessarily leak in sympathy with the first. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. I'm just surprised that the MIs approve such an arrangement.Dan_Robinson said:What about the second one?
