Cheers guys, I had a check in my worcester manual and it states something similar to what breadnbutter mentioned. However it doesn't mention upwards run's are not appropriate so I may be alright according to the manufacturer, right according to BG might be another matter... May be a DIY...

Hi Guys, I'm currently going through some interesting problems around getting my boiler onto a maintenance contract. BG are telling me that my Combi's PRV is terminated incorrectly as it exits via the fascia board and could vent hot water on someones head in the back garden. They advised...
