No drop on 6m of condensate pipe work. (cowboy job?) photos

No flue?

Is this for real?

The flue is there but out of site as the boiler is located on the first floor.

Its only permissable to terminate in a rainwater pipe if its a combined soil and rain single drain which were usual before about 1950 ( But that house looks quite modern and if its a two drain system then it should go into the foul drain ).

The house was built in 1990.

The first service is due next month so should they complain due to a lack of drop, no insulation and terminates in a guttering down pipe?

Is this part of building regulations or corgi rules?

Well looking at the height on that pipework I'd say that the boilers probably on the first floor and maybe the flue terminal's out of sight, personally I think I would have dropped the pipes down more and run them at a lower level.

Then they would have been damaged by the bicycles and the fellow dragging that heavy old motor mower!

My understanding is that ALL external condensate pipes must be installed in min 32mm now

Could be wrong

It has been known

Not again...I think Tony is correct on this one

Like the man in orthopedic shoes I stand corrected


Again

adding that tee piece is very clever in a naught sort of way.

the installer knew that it was wrong and added in that tee so even if/when it did blocked it it would not knack the boiler... that or he ran out of straights

i guess it would be the easiest way of adding a air break?

 

[gasmanben]

well its the wrong size for starters, should be 32mm; 2 degree drop not level, the tee should be there, no need for an air relief if it was installed correctly. its substandard. the installer should be called back.

Silly Question

I guess the third pipe (15mm copper) is the pressure relief blow off. Is that correct like that?

Yes it will be and yes it is.
