Pressure relief pipe work
NOTICE:
▶ The pressure relief valve is a safety device for the
boiler and if activated may discharge boiling water or
steam through the relief valve drain pipe.
▶ Care should be taken when siting the outlet pipe so
that it does not cause an obstruction or discharge
above a window, entrance or other public access
where it could cause a hazard.
• The pressure relief drain pipe (1) from the boiler should be at least
15mm diameter copper pipe and run downwards, away from any
electrical equipment or other hazard, preferably to an external drain
or soak away.
• The pressure relief drain pipe (1) should be finished with a partial
bend, near the outlet to face the external wall (as shown) to help
prevent freezing.
