Heatslave combi?

thats an oily guys

 

[Dotty]

At present Heatsave combi in bathroom with condensate with long run outside in 3/4".

Plan is to connect internally to existing 32mm waste from basin. Bottom of boiler is slightly lower than top of basin.

If I connected under floor boards using a tee and a bung to reduce to 3/4 I could run 3/4" about 6 foot and connect here.

Concern is that might not be to regs as if pipe from sink blocked outside then when basin emptied the boiler could fill up.

Would a T then 32mm to under boiler, HEPVO valve then bung o 3/4" be to regs? Any suggestions please?

Something doesn't add up here.

EM can you please confirm it's an oil heatslave and tell us how it's mounted on a wall?

Ok, Here we go.

Are you trying to tell me that I need to be Gas safe to extend a condensate pipe?

For the record I was Corgi registered for over 10 years but packed in, wishing to focus on other areas of work. I have over 25 years experience, leaving Leeds CB in 1989.

Nowadays I employ a Gas safe engineer part time for any GAS jobs that come my way. " Why didn't you ask him" I her you say. I did, and like you guys on here I got a different answer. I thought I would ask on here to get a definite answer (still struggling, but thanks for all the replies).

Sorry for the mistake, its a heatLINE.

Theoretically if the trap fails then it forms part of the flue..........

whats the MI say?

 

[Ermintrude]

No, I'm not Gas safe.

Oh no he didn't !

 

[emergencyman]

M I make no reference to a scenario where the boiler is lower than the basin.

I think (I stand to be corrected) that MI for Worcester Bosch state bottom of boiler soul be 100mm higher, this is what got me thinking.

If your saying that you need to be GS to extend a condensate pipe then fair enough, but is the 3/4" overflow pipe classed as part of the flue?

 

[kirkgas]

My opinion is that the whole condensate run is part of the flue, but I can see the issue with a plumber complaint that he/she can fit a 4"x 1.25" branch better than "just" a gas engineer
