    Glow Worm Flexicom 15hx Leaking condensate

    I have a Glow Worm Flexicom 15hx that is leaking what I assume is condensate from the circled area, is this likely to be from the part of the flue that could also leak CO gas? Would the fix be as straightforward as replacing this plastic part if that is the source of the leak? Thanks!

    Inconsistency in logic for extractor condensate

    One of the reasons I have seen for not routing the condensate from an extractor fan outlet into the soil stack (at a point above all sinks/toilets/etc that drain into the stack) is that smells would come from the stack into the room containing the extractor fan. I can see the logic in this but...

    Boss Boiler Condensate Pump packed in

    So the boiler wasn't powering on because the condensate pump had packed in, well the pump had swicthed off and thus cut the power to the boiler. Once the pump was decanted of its water, the boiler tuned on. So the pump needs replacing - should I replace with another Boss or are there better...

    Condensate into bath waste

    I need to connect a boiler condensate into a bath waste. It will have to be after the bath trap and im worried it will empty the boiler trap when a bath full of water is dumped. Are there any clever solutions to get around this?

    Question re: condensate pump on Greenstar 440

    Hi, The condensate pump on my Worcester Greenstar Highflow 440 CDI is flashing green and red simultaneously, halting after a few goes at starting up from power on. Is there anywhere I should be looking for obvious issues ahead of the plumber coming out in a few days? Thanks, Lou

    Why is my boiler condensate not emptying into the pipe?

    Previously no issues but now when I disconnect the condensate pipe from the boiler there is an audible air escape from the condensate pipe then the boiler happily drains into the pipe and you can hear it drain into the mains waste. Is this an air lock issue?

    Condensate dripping from boiler flue - advice please

    I have an Alpha Intec boiler installed on my loft wall. The flue goes horizontally from the top of the boiler and passes through the wall, exiting high up in the gable end. The boiler was installed about 6 years ago. My attached garage joins the gable wall directly below the flue. I had the...

    Condensate lagged though wall

    Do most people lag 32mm in this case 40mm (1.5inch) as it passes through the wall cavity or just the external pipe? If lagging the pope in the cavity what's best to seal the lagging to the wall with. I'm thinking it wouldn't cement up well?

    Condensate drain off & leak

    So I have a new Vaillant condensing boiler (ecoFIT pure). I can see the plastic condensate pipe that exits the boiler. The boiler is currently set to 62C, so should be condensing, but the condensate pipe never even gets warm to the touch even if the boiler's been on for a while - should it? The...

    Condensate drain off

    I’m currently getting quotes to install a new system boiler. The current boiler has the condensate drain off joined into the rainwater down pipe outside. One installer has said that it is fine to stay that way and two others have said that they will need to install a new soak away for the...

    Worcester boiler condensate won't drain.

    Good afternoon all, I have a Worcester boiler installed recently. It was moved from the first floor to the loft. Existing 22mm condense pipe was extended to the loft. It looks like the old pipe has no slope and prevents air to get into the boiler condensate trap, preventing condensate to drain...

    Condensate drain connection to rainwater drain

    I'm going to have to get by boiler replaced which means provision needs to be made for a condensate drain as the old boiler didn't have one. The boiler is in the garage, that is part of the house, if that makes sense. The house was built in 1999. There is no convenient internal drain. Outside...
