Bathroom Refit - soil pipe and other plumbing questions

[H0M3R_j4y]

The white plastic pipe is the condensate drain from the boiler and needs to be connected to a waste pipe, the 15mm copper is the PRV discharge and needs to be terminated (visibly) outside.

Alterations to either pipe should be made by a competent person - the condensate is technically part of the flue system and the PRV discharge is safety related.

Both can be moved but the correct connections/routing and terminations are important

Thanks newboy. Good news that they can be moved then!

I understand that the condensate drain needs to be on a slight downhill slope to the waste pipe, would this apply to the PRV discharge as well? Or can this be bent down vertically, across the bath horizontally and back up vertically again before going out through the wall?

No, the PRV has to fall all the way too

OK, thanks very much for confirming!

Hello again, another question regarding the soil pipe.

Im just looking into soil pipe fittings, and cant seem to find anything that reduces the 110mm pipe down to 3". Other than a standard drainpipe? Is this right or am I looking for the wrong thing?

Thanks

Thanks for the help. I was looking 3" so that's why I couldn't find any!

Think I'll stick with 110mm as its a lot cheaper anyway.

Couple of things .............
Nobody has mentioned the height the vent pipe must go to and doesn`t moving the pipe outside come under building reg`s.

I was planning on just going straight up and slightly past the roof, to approx the same level as my current vent pipe. I will be needing a couple of 45° bends towards the top to get around the slight overhang of the roof edge.

Does this seem correct?

Sounds good to me.
