Condensate drain
I've got a soil stack reasonably close to mine. Is there an easy way of
routing the condensate drain into it? -- *7up is good for you, signed snow white* Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

May or may not need to be routed via a u-trap, depending on the boiler instructions. David |

You can certainly get a rubber bung to drop 40mm to 20mm - I used on for exactly that purpose to allow the condensate drain to feed into a washing machine style stand pipe. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

The Corgi installer who installed my boiler over 3 years ago ran the drain through a boss into the stack - total outdoor length of less than two feet with a good fall. The stack is in an angle between north and west facing walls - no problems yet :-) Malcolm |
