Hi all,
I posted a thread the other day about my condense pipe being blocked and someone that was sent by the management company telling me that my condense pipe shouldn't feed into a waste pipe (Gas safe registered plumber may have fitted boiler against terms of the lease).
The overwhelming response was that he was fobbing me off, but would anyone be able to help me identify exactly where my condense pipe is connected to based on this photo? Imgur
My kitchen is the lit room above A. My boiler is just to the right of that window with my washing machine just below. The unlit window is my bathroom.
A - this pipe is about 2" across and is cast iron. This is where my condensate pipe and washing machine exit pipe flow into. It's quite an old building so all the pipes seem to be (I think) cast iron. There is another flat above me, is this the right sort of pipe for the condensate to be connected to?
B - The flat below has the same sort of configuration, as does the ground floor flat (not pictured). The ground floor flat has a vent which is blowing out steam behind the thick pipe just to the left of the letter A. I have a bent copper/brass pipe in the same position underneath my window.
C - What is this sort of pipe called? Is it the soil stack? The phrase 'stack' has been used but I'm a bit confused as to exactly what they're referring to.
D - What is this pipe called? Along with the other thick pipe next to the A, they seem to collect rainwater from the gutters.
Sorry for that being quite long, I'm just a bit lost as to the situation. From these photos and the ones in the other thread, does this look like a legitimate connection for my condensate pipe?
