    Hi Guys - a couple of years ago we had a new condensing combi boiler installed in our 1970s house, which originally would have had warm air heating, to replace an old free standing gas boiler. The combi is fitted in what was the cupboard for the warm air heating unit in the hallway and is...

    Dodgy condensate pipe?

    My neighbour had his boiler re-sited upstairs in 2012. The condensate pipe comes out of the wall, bends directly down vertically and ends about an inch above the lean-to over his drive - our drive is adjacent to his drive. The condensate then rolls about 10ft down the lean-to and into a gutter...

    7 pipes to a worcester combination boiler? Not including the condensate pipe

    Worcester boiler seems to have an extra cold feed from the boiler to the bathroom? If this is the case... why? The problem is that the hot water feed is fine. I.e. the hot water is red hot which is what I want.. As soon as the cold tap is put on though the hot reduces in temperature...

    Condensate into downpipe

    I read on here some time ago that the condensate drain is not supposed to be plumbed into the downpipe from house guttering. But looking around where I live, it is easy to see where old boilers have been replaced by condensing ones because they all have white plastic pipes connecting into their...

    Condensate drain.

    Condensate drains should have a continuous fall long the entire run, which we know, so why am I seeing some installations where the 3/4" pipe exits the wall level? Of course it won't back up, as it falls after the exit, but that's not falling along the entire run is it.
