Default Boiler - water from the flue

The pipe in the picture is not the flue but a flue management kit attached
to the flue outlet.

At four metres long the water vapour that would be released to the air is
condensing in the pipe and running back and leaking from the faulty joint.

Your description leads me to suspect that the boiler manufactures kit has
not been used but made up from plastic waste/drain fittings.

A flue or flue parts should not be modified without consulting the
manufactures as this could lead to the boiler being in a dangerous
condition.
