Boiler condence pipe

[sav]

Hi guys

Got a customer who doesn't want the condence pipe going down outside there house to the drain as they don't like the white pipe!

Can you get different colour overflow pipe? I can't run it internal as there's no drain where the boiler is so I have to run it outside but they down want white pipe. Can I get different colour like brown to try and match the bricks?


Thanks

can of paint, or black overflow pipe or use brown/black rainwater pipe and join into that or best walk away from idiot custards as I can predict you are going to regret working for these ones in the end. Or use a condensate pump to move it to an internal waste, but they wont like the noise of course!

1. Overflow (21.5mm) shouldn't be external or over 3m in length.

2. Plastics standard colours are white, grey and black. Brown used to be hunter plastics but you can order it from tinternet.

Any external 32mm and paint it any colour the custard wants

Toolstation do black overflow and fittings

 

[hammers4spanner]

Tell them its against regs to paint the pipe due to the paint reacting to the condensing turbo flow which will disintegrate the hydro block water ways thus voiding any warranty


Problem solved

Well after all he's now going to keep it like it after I pointed out that the down pipes and guttering are white as well!

This job would be a lot better if Customers paid attention lol

Needs to get a life, sould be more worried about what job he is getting rather than the colour of a pipe, jesus.

Next he'll be saying he doesn't like the colour of copper and he'll be painting the boiler to match the wallpaper!

Haha, I've seen a boiler that was wallpapered as they didn't like the way the boiler stood out on the wall. Pretty decent job too, all the seems were in-noticeable
