    Boiler condensate pipe leaking at joint

    Hello I have a condensate pipe that appears to be leaking at the joint. How do I fix the leak? Would something like plumbers putty around the joint work or does it need to be some other compound? Can I simply pull the pipe and joint out and then put the compound round it Thanks

    Condensate Pipe installation

    Engineer has installed several boilers for me. All the condensate pipes have been connected externally into soil stack or rain water downpipe. In each case he just drilled a hole in the pipe, and stuck the condensate in the side, smeared glue everywhere. No boss, or branch. Is this allowed, is...

    Why is my boiler condensate not emptying into the pipe?

    Previously no issues but now when I disconnect the condensate pipe from the boiler there is an audible air escape from the condensate pipe then the boiler happily drains into the pipe and you can hear it drain into the mains waste. Is this an air lock issue?

    How does a boiler sense the condensate pipe is blocked?. Boiler stopped working. I was told the condensate syphon was blocked and had to be cleared. I wondered how the boiler controls knew this?

Baxi's manual does "not recommend", in caps, to connect upstream of the sink and its diagram shows the connection downstream of the...

    Ideal Icos HE35 Condensate Pipe flow?

    Just recently I have found a small flood under my kitchen sink, and found that there is a build up of water from the pipe under the sink from the condensate pipe to flow into the drain. There is nothing wrong with the drain, as the pipe is connected to the main sink drain and the water flows...

    Hello, I have a rental property and had a new combi boiler fitted 2 years ago. No problems at all with the boiler, my only niggle is that the external condensate pipe is 32mm and fully covered with black insulation. This pipe runs almost 3 metres across the outside wall of the kitchen and then...

    external condensate pipe to sink or not?

    I have had some helpful comments elsewhere on how to minimise the chances of the condensate freezing in an external pipe so thanks to all. Trace heating is probably going to be too expensive but I am considering a pump though it doesn't help get to a point internally because of layout. Because...

    Hello, I was hoping some one can give me some advice, Sunday morning I came down to a wet floor and no heating or hot water. I initially thought that the heat exchanger had gone in the boiler. After a lot of clearing up and drying out I managed to get some one to look at the boiler and they...
