Condensate Joys.

[Axel]

Ok, so where do they sell these 'Condensate flush syphons'?

 

[burygas]

As an RGI, Im loving this weather.

Unbloked 9 condesing pipes today. £80 a go. Probably do the same tomorrow. Oh, and Sunday (double rate).

Scot.

So when the re-freeze again today and they ring you again,are you going to charge them £80 again??

Is it £80 for everyone?

 

[Axel]

So all those years of training have finally paid off?!

 

[Nige F]

Proper? I left that word alone in the 70's.

You'll be having Schnorbitz giving an opinion soon.

Penis ... I hope you leave yours alone too

 

[Nige F]

Yeah. I do re-pipe in inch and a half. With a proper fall.

Scot.

Is that a different proper

 

[Whitespirit66]

As we say in these parts, with a yokel accent - 'PROPER JOB!'

 

[Axel]

I'm talking about a closed version of this, fitted inside the building, between the boiler and the pipe going out through the wall.

they come with the boiler....

 

[Axel]

No no no no no...You just don't get it! I'm not talking about the trap built into the boiler that stops combustion gas / air pressure venting down the condensate pipe - I'm talking about a device that accumulates the condensate until it is full, and then flushes it down the pipe all in one go, meaning that there is never a slow trickle of condensate, only the occasional gush as the 'automatic cistern' storing the condensate flushes itself once in a while, preventing build up of frozen condensate in the pipe in the form of a growing icicle / stalactite...

yes I do get it. Its called a syphonic condense trap. Fitted to many(not all) boilers on the UK market.

 

[boabcelt]

Pretty sure that most boilers these days include a syphonic trap. Not all of them mind, so I suppose a boiler which doesn't could have one fitted near to the appliance as a wee precaution.

 

[boabcelt]

Beat me to it mick!

8) mwahaha

 

[Axel]

And there I was, hat and gloves on, on my way to the patent office...
