Hi, Ive just gone to look at a job where a plastic pipe from a condenser boiler connects onto a 32mm waste and runs outside to drain, the pipe is about the diameter of overflow, does anyone know what it might be measurement wise (maybe i should have measured i know), it also connects onto the 32 mm waste with some kind of adapter. The people would like a washing machine put in just where all this is happening, and im hoping to connect the condenser pipe into a 40mm tee, and have the run to the drain in 40mm. The thing is at the mo the where the condenser pipe connects onto the 32mm pipe, whoever has done the work before has made some kid of "trap" with 4 32mm elbows if you catch my drift before connecting onto the runaway to outside, is this necessary? My questions are, can you get an adapter so it will fit straight into 40mm waste? Any ideas on what diameter and what this plastic condensing pipe is, is it overflow? Sorry to sound stupid, but this is the first time ive had to play around with a condenser "run off". Please help. Thankyou
 
Yes you can get a clamp that will clamp onto either 1"1/4 0r 1"1/2 pipe, it comes with 2 different thickness of rubber to fit either size pipe.
 
What about the size of the pipe is it overflow? what diameter is it please? Also would i be safe just having the 40mm tee vertical, having the condesing pipe connect into the side, and the pipe then drop a lil more before going along the wall to the outside drain?

Yes it will be overflow pipe, make sure you ask for solvent weld(glued) pipe, rather than pushfit,, you want a fall in the pipe work all the way from the boiler to the drain, but if it went into some 40mm pipe that was perfectly horizontal for a short run, then fell down to the drain, it would work but wouldnt be ideal, you can run the overflow into the 40mm at a slight angle as fittings allow a slight degree of deflection.

Iam still not sure 100% what you mean in the last bit of your Q.

if you are looking at a 40 mm tee, and you put it on its side, so you have the condensate pipe connecting on to the lleft, then a run of 400 mm pipe running from the top upwards and bottom downwards, would that be ok? or do you have to have some kind of trap on the condensate pipe?
