    frozen condensate pipe can it be run into the internal drain

    You absolutely do not need to plumb the condensate pipe outside. In fact have a read of the following: http://www.centralheating.co.uk/system/uploads/attachments/0000/2893/T10_0228A__INDUSTRY_GUIDANCE_ON_CONDENSATE_DRAINAGE_PIPE_INSTALLATION__FINAL_.pdf The is the official position...

    Cheers. thanks for that. I'll think about that one, in the meantime, would you be able to contribute more usefully and tell use why the guidelines are being ignored? Cheers luv!

    Its not at all 'patheticness'. You're only upset cos someone has finally has pulled up all the evidence contrary to your 'false' remarks about having no choice generally. Its simple, plumb it internally. Thats the advice. If you dont, then use your considerable (and not withstanding...

    Was just waiting for this, 'havent contributed technically'. Thats the problem with tradesmen like you, you cannot accept that you could possibly be wrong! So all of a sudden, despite showing you the B Regs, the government guidelines, the corgi guidelines and the current manufacturers stance...

    Im not for a minute arguing there is one size fits all. BUT every single property has waste pipes... Secondly, condensing boilers have become massively appealing after a pro government drive for these 'efficient' boilers in the last 5 years or so. And hence the problems have occured now cos...

    Sweetheart keep your knickers on. The guidance in the B Regs, the government and what is coming out from the Heating council is clear, the pipes SHOULD BE plumbed internally 'if possible'. What tends to happen is this: 1) Boilers are normaly mounted on external walls, the shortest route...

    I cant believe the tradesmen are still trying to argue that they have no choice but to plumb the condensate pipe outside. Read the B Regs Section i have already quote on Page 2! You absolutely do not need to plumb the condensate pipe outside. In fact have a read of the following...

    Another frozen condensate pipe..........32mm lagging?

    Forget laggin it. Get it plumbed into waste pipe. http://www.viessmann.co.uk/etc/medialib/internet_uk/images/Press_releases/press_releases.Par.41402.File.File.tmp/Frozen%20condensate%20pipes.pdf Read the above in the additional notes part 1.

    Why dont we read the quidelines? and the B Regs...Section H...paragraph 1.14! its says you can plumb the condensate pipe in soil waste pipe, rainwater waste pipe or the sink waste pipe on the proviso that certain restriction are met eg a trap and height etc.

    The 100mm pipes that are freezing over underground are few far between. Nothin in comparison to the sheer volume of complaints people have for the Condensate pipes. Its a complete joke.

    Frozen condensate pipes everywhere you go

    Not willing to pay for it? Who says? The option isnt even there, ive spent all afternoon arguing with the installer who says B Regs prevent him doing anything but plumb the small pipes outside. According to the regs and guidelines he couldve plumbed the condensate pipe to the Rainwater waste...

    Frozen condensate pipes everywhere you go

    Look at the sheer number of people complaining about this issue. The complaint specifically center around the Condensate pipe. And mostly because best practice is simply not followed by installer who hoodwink householders into believing that they are the qualified authority on the work, when in...
