Condensate pipe work

NOTICE:
▶ Where a new or replacement boiler is being installed,
access to an internal "gravity discharge" point should
be one of the factors considered in determining
boiler location.
▶ The condensate pipe must be nominally
22mm Ø plastic pipe.
▶ The condensate pipe work must fall at least 52mm
per metre towards the outlet and should take the
shortest practicable route.
▶ Ensure there are no blockages in the pipe run.

Internal connections

In order to minimise risk of freezing during prolonged cold spells, the
following methods of installing condensate drainage pipe should be
adopted, in order of priority.
Wherever possible, the condensate drainage pipe should be routed and
terminated so that the condensate drains away from the boiler under
gravity to a suitable internal foul water discharge point such as an
internal soil and vent stack. A suitable permanent connection to the foul
waste pipe should be used.

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.
