Bungalow, eight year old boiler in the loft.

The plastic window frames are going a bit yellow in places due to the acidic

Will bleach get rid of the yellow stains?

How does the flue come out from the roof though ?.

If the boiler is in the loft then a normal vertical flue
could have been used, with a flashing kit.

If the flue slopes *back* towards the boiler (assuming
it is a condenser) then v. little condensate should drip
out of the end.

A photo would help.

Assuming they're iron stains (which they may not be), these can be
removed from plastic by rubbing vigorously with a paste of baking soda
in water. Vinegar or lemon juice are also suggested. The baking soda
acts like a mild abrasive. I guess something like Brasso would also
work. Lots more here http://tinyurl.com/z97gtqe

Which vent pipe?

Is this the pressure release vent as fitted to most sealed system
boilers, or is this a condensate pipe from a condensing boiler?

If the former then (aside from the point that it ought to never have
anything come out of it unless there is fault wit the heating system),
then the staining would probably come from black iron oxide corrosion
products in the primary makeup water.

If its a condensate drain, then (aside from being installed wrongly - it
should be piped to a drain, not left to drip on the house), then its a
very weak acid - but ISTM unlikely to stain uPVC

(or do you mean the balanced flue? In which case, yes you can get
condensation drips from them on old non condensing boilers (condensors
ought to have them sloped back so the condensate runs back into the boiler))

The plastic window frames are going a bit yellow in places due to the acidic
drops of condense. The frames are still under guarantee, but I know what the
company is going to tell me if I drag them out. Well, I think I do.

It may. I would be tempted to try a solution of oxalic acid before going
for a chlorine bleach though.

uPVC is quite porous.
It has a laquor on it when new to keep it clean.
When you get the stain out, it needs relaquoring.

Could be the condensate has taken the laquor off.

This is untrue. (well its harry!)

If you have one already installed, then you can carry on using it.

If you are installing a new one, then there are circumstances where you
can still install a non condensor. You need to carry out a points based
assessment first. Details of the process he

Well, I think I do. Will bleach get rid of the yellow stains?




How does the flue come out from the roof though ?.

If the boiler is in the loft then a normal vertical flue
could have been used, with a flashing kit.

If the flue slopes *back* towards the boiler (assuming
it is a condenser) then v. little condensate should drip
out of the end.

A photo would help.

Flu exits through the wall about 12' above bathroom window.
I have never actually noticed any droplets on the window frames, thus I
suppose that the damage is caused by moisture from the steam.
I've used some thick bleach covered with kitchen roll on a small area. This
has removed the yellow completely.
Many thanks to all that replied, except PHucker who has never
contributed anything to any group or anything else.

If I had found this before I asked the question I would have saved the time
of the good people who replied to me.
Still, my post gave you something to do in your sad little life.
BTW, the Micra was replaced with a brand new Nissan Juke a few months ago.
Paid for cash.

It may well do, by turning them brown.

So bleach will not work then?
Thanks for your reply.

In Today's Market Activity, Helium was up. Feathers were down. Paper was stationary. Fluorescent tubing was dimmed in light trading. Knives were up sharply. Cows steered into a bull market. Pencils lost a few points. Hiking equipment was trailing. Elevators rose, while escalators continued their slow decline. Weights were up in heavy trading. Light switches were off. Mining equipment hit rock bottom. Diapers remain unchanged. Shipping lines stayed at an even keel. The market for raisins dried up. Coca Cola fizzled. Caterpillar stock inched up a bit. Sun peaked at midday. Balloon prices were inflated. And, Scott Tissue touched a new bottom. Invest wisely!

A non-condensing boiler would not have done this.


They are illegal in the UK.

This is untrue. (well its harry!)

If you have one already installed, then you can carry on using it.

If you are installing a new one, then there are circumstances where you
can still install a non condensor. You need to carry out a points based
assessment first. Details of the process he

http://webarchive.nationalarchives.g...condboiler.pdf

If you don't tell anyone you installed it, they won't know. And AFAIK it doesn't apply in Scotland anyway. There is no way I'd follow a law intended to make something more efficient. I pay for the gas ffs!

Assuming they're iron stains (which they may not be), these can be
removed from plastic by rubbing vigorously with a paste of baking soda
in water. Vinegar or lemon juice are also suggested. The baking soda
acts like a mild abrasive. I guess something like Brasso would also
work. Lots more here http://tinyurl.com/z97gtqe

Thanks.


It will remove the symptom not the cause.
