    Condensate pump and boiler off

    Re. "KOP"s recommendation for a condensate connector

    I can't put my finger on it now, but I saw a post where someone asked about connecting the condensate flexi from a boiler to fixed 19/21 overflow pipe. One reply was just to slide the flexi over the end of the fixed overflow but as I recall "KOP" recommended a McAlpine compression...

    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.
