Hi All,
I thought all condensate water drained by gravity.
My brother suffered a drain freeze last week and was advised by the guy who sorted it for him that it froze because his plastic drain pipe is routed up from the boiler (in airing cupboard) into the loft and across the joists to an external wall (no insulation). The outlet is then fixed vertically down to ground level.
How does condensate water drain 'upwards' into the loft? Are combis fitted with condensate pumps?
Cheers All
