Trust you to find an exception.

My combi was installed upstairs, the over pressure vent pipe was taken
through the wall where it exited the boiler, so it is about 8 inches to
the left of the front door, and about a foot higher than the top of the
door,
As the door is on the side of the house people have to walk past the
vent
to get to the door, up the drive with a 6 foot fence to their right and
the garage at the end,

i know i wouldnt like to be at the door if the boilers over pressure
valve
opened and the vent pipe was pointing out so it sprayed over the drive,
my car is also usually parked on the drive so it would be in the line of
fire from an outwardly pointing pressure vent pipe, i wouldn't
particularly want it being doused with near boiling water with inhibiter
and other crap in it either,

i'll wait for creepy uncle peter to come back with something like his
car
is built to withstand a spraying of boiler water, and the billion to one
chance of it happening whilst it's parked there.


There was a million to one chance of an immersion heater stat failing
closed, allowing the water to boil and exit the vent/expansion pipe that
loops over the plastic header tank in the loft,

I am not sure that it is a million to one chance. I have seen that happen
3
times.



But you're a plumber.



That's libel. AICMFP

I know you're an electrician, I assumed you did plumbing too if you encounter boilers.
