My boiler is right next to an outside wall and i can take the condensate either outside through the wall( there is a gully right outside too) or I can get a flexible Mcalpine pipe and bend it around a gas pipe and twist it around to get eventually under the sink.

I am trying to avoid any connections underneath my quartz countertop that would be very difficult to remove if any leaks.

Originally the condensate pipe was connected to the 40mm waste with a spaghetti type of solvent weld that was so far out from the wall.
I am trying to tidy things up.

I can buy a kitchen Mcalpine waste trap with a condensate connection on it.

What would you do run it outside and avoid all this or keep it inside the house?

The other option is to try to bend the 21.5mm pipe around the gas pipe as it goes down towards the kitchen sink.

As per the above. Inside if possible 100%. Much less risk of it freezing or blocking.
