yes,

you run condense into 32mm pipe from boiler to down pipe, drill a 22mm hole into downpipe and silicone a piece of condense about 50mm into it. then shove it into a 32mm bung in the end of the 32mm waste and silicone this onto the down pipe.

easier than it sounds.lol

mmmmmmmmmmm not sure I'd bother, reputation an all that.

Cut a downpipe tee into it and pop the condense into that, you don't have to reduce down then.

 

[smtplumbing]

is there no boss kits for them

 

[smtplumbing]

plumber0808 can you get reducers to 32mm

only thing to remember is all the leaves an crap going down the gutter pipework that will catch on your invading pipework that will then cause the condensate to backfill into the boiler!!!

This will fit a 2 1/2" pipe too but it is easier to cut a branch in then a bend up to 90º. Drop your 1 1/4" into that and leave the end unsealed. That way if the conductor chokes the boiler won't fill with water.

tamz that is a awesome way to do thanks very much do you use the boss or do u just cut a tee in

 

[tamz]

Usually cut a branch in. It looks better and only takes 10 minutes to do.

Yep this happens. Seen an icos who had filled to the lid.

you will need an air break so just use a branch. check the drains, fit a condense neutraliser if its a surface only drain. job done.
