Hi all,
I've not long moved into our current house and I have had the condensate pipe freeze during this recent weather so I am trying to help prevent it for next time. (It didn't freeze in the last sub zero spell of weather so I can only assume the wind didn't help)
Currently it is draining into a bucket but I plan on putting it back into action tonight/tomorrow.
The boiler is in the loft.
The pipe already has foam lagging (only 13mm though) and I assume the pipe exits into the guttering.
The plan is too:
Swap the old lagging for 25mm foam lagging and then put it under the loft insulation as much as I can.
Has anyone else got any ideas?
I thought about using these below as well under the foam but I am not sure the foam will fit around it once wrapped.
Thermawrap Spiral Foil Wrap 50mm x 7.5m | Wickes.co.uk
or
Wickes Felt Pipe Sleeving Pack 3 | Wickes.co.uk
Not sure if it will help?
Thanks for any help
