Right that confirms it. The Atlantic Conveyour will switch off in the

But that's still unlikely to cause to a problem with a uPVC stack IMO.
Imagine a 6m CI stack sealed at the bottom, temp -5C and tip in a basin
full of warm water. Effect of temperature within stack, almost nothing
(I would guess). Do the same on a PVC stack and the inner face of the
walls probably gets to above freezing so there never will be an ice
build up.
