Hi All
I'm redoing a bit of pipework alongside a larger overhaul of the heating and I have a couple of question about condensate pipe drop
Currently my combi condensate pipe exits the boiler and then snakes infront of the inlet and return pipes, why I don't know but then goes into a vertical drop onto a pure horizontal run about 30cm from the floor to the sink about 2.5M away.
Should there not be a drop on the condensate pipe instead of a straight horizontal run and if i leave it and just fix what's up top what issues can it potentially cause long term, wouldn't be the end of the world redoing the whole thing but it would require removing the appliances and parts of the kitchen base boards.
Pipe currently looks like it's in an OK condition at least from the outside but I have seen vids of internal condensate pipe cracking and decaying I'm assuming from the acidity
