Extreme cold weather

In certain instances where the condensate pipe work is run externally or
in an unheated area, such as a garage, the condensate pipe work can be
at risk of freezing, even if well insulated.
A frozen/blocked condensate pipe will cause the boiler to shut down.
Worcester, Bosch Group have available helpful videos on thawing frozen
condensate pipe work on our website in the Customer service section.
WARNING
Falling hazard!
Failure to follow this guidance may result in personal injury.
▶ Only attempt to thaw a condensate pipe that is at ground level and
easily accessible.
▶ Never attempt to thaw a condensate pipe that is at height.
CAUTION
Risk of damage to pipe work!
Thermal shock from boiling water can damage plastic pipes.
▶ DO NOT use boiling water to thaw the condensate pipe!
CAUTION
Slip hazard
▶ Ensure that the subsequent freezing of any water does not result in a
slip hazard.
If the condensate pipe has frozen:
▶ Locate the blockage.
– It is likely that the pipe is frozen at the most exposed point outside
the building or where there is an obstruction to flow. This could be
the open end of the pipe, at a bend or elbow, or where there is a
sag in the pipe in which condensate can collect.
– The location of the blockage should be identified as closely as
possible before taking further action.
