I thought a prv blow off had to be unrestricted as its a safety valve
to release pressure quickly in the event of a radical event. centralheatking

i’d be contacting the manufacturer to see if they allow it, particularly if it’s a new install with warranty.

Also messing about with condensate brings in GSR as condensate
is considered by law as part of the flue to a gas appliance

Would like to think that the pump manufacturers had looked into this before producing a pump.

Believe some if not all can be wired to the boiler as a cut out should the PRV open.

That looks like it fits the bill, 3.8 ltre capacity will cope but an
eye watering price the profit on that unit must be tasty
The difference between 1.5 bar and zero
on an average none vented system is less than 2 litre so its
good to go. centralheatking
