No this is not acceptable.
Your manufacturers instructions should give you guidance how to run the pipe.
I would have thought that the siting of the condensate pipe should have been sorted before installation.
Andy.
Condensate waste should be in plastic only; not copper. As previously mentioned, this should have been thought of before the boiler was fitted. Who fitted it? A registered installer?

Another note to mention, if the boiler is up and running at the moment with no condensate or a condensate terminating in say a bucket temporarily then the boiler is classed as dangerous, should be condemed until the codensate is fitted acordingly, and the installer reported.

Oh and to help with the question you would really need to explain where the boiler is installed and where you have appropriate drains.

that's not the case with all boilers, some allow a tundish to be fitted and is not dangerous at all as the boiler has a trap which prevents p.o.c escaping.
****ish Gas making up their own rules again.
Where's the installer in all this?

Im not going to argue this, as i dont ahve a book of regulations other than the TOPS that BG Supply us (which is their perception of the Regs)
But we have been told that the head saftey people have went through all this with corgi and I would personaly be ID'ing an installation like that, built in trap or not, because Ive been told to by the saftey ppl.
On those lines BG will be condeming every ATAG installation as the MI's ask for the combined condensate/prv outlet to drop into a tundish then run in a minimum of 32mm waste.
The boiler trap supplies the seal for fumes from the boiler.
It's not often I feel the need to disagree with BG, as you guys on here are the good BG guys, but in this case I feel BG are wrong.
