Alternatively if the first option is not possible an internal kitchen or
bathroom waste pipe, washing machine waste pipe etc. can be used.
Ensure that the condensate drain pipe is connected "down stream" of
the waste trap.

CONDENSATE PUMP
Where "gravity discharge" to an internal termination is not physically
possible, or where very long internal runs would be required to reach a
suitable discharge point, condensate should be removed using a
proprietary condensate pump, of a specification recommended by the
boiler or condensate pump manufacturer.
The pump outlet pipe should discharge to a suitable internal foul water
discharge point such as an internal soil and vent stack, internal kitchen
or bathroom waste pipe, washing machine waste pipe etc. A suitable
permanent connection to the foul waste pipe should be used.

3.4.2 EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS

NOTICE: Freezing conditions
▶ When the position of the boiler prevents internal
routing, we recommend installing a CondenseSure
siphon to significantly reduce the risk of freezing.
▶ Pipe work length should be kept to a minimum and the
route as vertical as possible.
▶ Weather proof insulation must be used, if not using a
CondenseSure siphon.
NOTICE: Condensate waste
▶ Care should be taken when siting a soak-away to avoid
obstructing existing services.

If no other discharge method is possible then the use of an externally run
condensate drainage pipe terminating at a suitable foul water discharge
point, or purpose-designed soak away, may be considered. If this
method is chosen then the following measures should be adopted:
▶ Use a CondenseSure siphon to help prevent the condensate freezing.
▶ The external run be kept as short as possible and not exceed 3 metres.
▶ The pipe should be run internally as far as possible before going
externally and the pipe diameter should be increased to 32mm before
it passes through the wall to the exterior. The pipe should be insulated
using suitable waterproof and weather resistant insulation, if not
using a CondenseSure siphon.
▶ The external pipe should take the shortest and least exposed route to
the discharge point, and should "fall" as steeply as possible away from
the boiler, with no horizontal runs in which condensate might stand.
