Condensate overload?

[Charnwood]

What would cause this to happen over just the past 2 days?

Out of a complex of 50 apartments with exactly the same boiler, this one is the only one this happens to. It also happened last year - again, only this one boiler.

Is the boiler possibly producing an excess amount of condensate?

Incorrectly installed flue, on condensing appliances the flue should fall back to the boiler so that any water in the flue pipe runs back to the boiler and the drain connection, yours is allowing water to drip from the terminal causing the large icicle !!

Spec-savers are good, so I hear.

Frozen condensate.

It's not coming from the terminal but from the bit of 15mm copper you can see sticking out of the wall in the second picture.

This is a neighbour's boiler. As you can possibly make out, under the icicle are the remote readers for 2 water meters.

nope...

first picture is a frozen blob, is that a flue? coz it doesnt look like one.

whats the second picture of?

my point...

the condensate shouldnt be exiting the building like that.

Are you sure it's condensate? Copper could be a PRV. If it was condensate it would be running down the wall all the time.

OP why not start this post agin only this time
explain the whole story and fully explain what you are on about

then perhaps we could help

Agreed

Some have managed to help with the information already given.

To clarify, the first picture is an icicle attached to 2 remote water meter readers. The second is of a 15mm pipe sticking out a few inches from a wall. Below the pipe is a sheet of ice attached to the wall, directly above the icicle.

The icicle and sheet of ice have been created by the 'liquid' discharging from said 15mm pipe freezing.

I have made a wrong assumption. It turns out that the boiler fitted is a combi and not a condensing combi. Therefore the weeping PRV sounds probable.

Yes the one from the floor above !

Close, but no cigar. It's 2 floors above.
