Speed fit for condensate

[Tjdservices]

Hi, I went to a cp12 and discovered that amongst other things (cooker hose on hob, prv coming straight out of the wall), that the condensate was in 22mm JG speed fit, 2 elbows and pipe. I AR'd the hob and the guy decided to ask me to fit a new one, and I changed the condensate and prv. If the guy hadn't been willing for me to change the condensate how would you classify it?

I dont think its a problem

I would nt ,
it would look a **** in speedfit but as long as its terminated properly and not leaking on the gas pipe its ok in my book

I just thought about the metal in the fittings, although minimal it could react to the acidicy, and yes looked absolutely sh......

stainless steel so wont rust/corrode

Dont think JG seals will take the acidic water

Good point,

I dont think the metal part will come into contact with the condensate?

the metal in any speed fit isn't in contact with water if you think about it!! Bit it will outlast any 21.5mm overflow pipe by years, so in someways it is far better, not sure why it looks ****, as its the same as any plastic pipe fittings used everywhere.

Good to know, thanks again for the informative information guys

but edpm seals wont take low ph

but edpm seals wont take low ph

got a boiler I service with speed fit for condensate drain, been in 11 years and no leaks on fittings

Surely the seals are suitable for alkaline and acidic water; a big no no is using barrier pipe for PRV

expensive way to do condensate.
besides it also looks carp
