Hi Guys,
I have a Vaillant VCW GB 242 E which has probably been installed for over 15 years. It all works fine but whoever installed it never bothered to plumb in the PRV outlet which is just set to discharge nicely (as in "not nicely at all") down the wall should it ever fire! Naturally I'd like to rectify this but opinion appears to be divided as to whether this PRV should be hard plumbed in continuous pipe, or whether it should be allowed to discharge into a catch-pot arrangement. Does anyone have any advice to impart, please? Also, it's pretty awkward to get at to take a good look at it with the current kitchen furniture arrangement (it's all coming out soon...) Does anyone know what kind of connection it takes? The most I can tell is that it has an internal screw thread but I can't tell what size or guauge.
Any help gratefully received.
