Looking for Part Number 5106230.
It's a condensate trap for a Potterton PowerMax boiler.
Thanks

Google “baxi 5106230” brings up a list of suppliers, one place called The Heat Exchange has one for under 12quid plus VAT

This is a job for a GSR only. There was a safety alert issued about the Powermax flue/condensate connector. If your boiler is one of the batch with the safety issue on it then it needs an upgraded part. Your GSR will know about it & what to do.

Condensate traps and outlets are classified as flue and that means GSR qualified only can work on them. Some think its just water overflow centralheatking

Thank you for replies so far. I am finding that merchant websites claim to have them in stock but when phoning they say they have not got any, hence the reason for this thread.

Our point which the moderators will pick up are you GSR registered ? we are keen to help everybody especially as PF is now gobal but we do have to advise you correctly
as stated condensate out flow counts as a flue and many suppliers will not supply retail customers with parts that must be fitted by a GSR competant fitter

These are death traps. You must not touch unless you are Gas safe. There have been fatalities over the years. The condensate trap is considered part of the flue.
