Put a boiler in this week and positioned it nicely to use the old condense thats run behind plasterboard but ended up snapping it if at the elbow, no probs I'll cut a neat hole and connect onto the pipe with an elbow.
WTF is 23mm overflow! I can't get anything on it, too tight for mechanical adapter.
I ordered a polypipe pushfit condense elbow thinking it would be rubberised (they're not).
I tried heating and 'swaging' normal 21.5mm.
I can get an adapter but to get it in I'll need to remove some mosaic tiles :-/
Any tricks with this one?
I'm back on Friday to replace the very ropey condense to sink arrangement- I nearly cried 🤣
 
Heat it up and swage the end as it’s slightly bigger shouldn’t be too hard
 
Thanks. I can get a straight weld adapter, just need to take a couple of tiles out and open up the wall, I think that's the way its going.
Could use a rubber condense elbow off a baxi but don't like the idea as won't be accessible.
 
Thanks Scott, that's actually what I got.
Took out a couple of tiles to expose the pipe, cut it and then realised just below was another fitting so I couldn't get it on fully.
Sometimes it just doesn't go your way.
Its on and only time will tell if its on enough 😬
