Dealing with Condensate Five suitable drainage points 1. Internal drain stack pipe 2. Waste water pipe * 3. External drain or gully * 4. Rainwater hoppers that carry both rain water and foul water * 5. Purpose-made soakaways * Care should be taken not to contaminate any “Grey Water Systems” Pipework Condensate pipework should be plastic, same as used for standard wastewater plumbing.
