7 pipes to a worcester combination boiler? Not including the condensate pipe

View the thread, titled "7 pipes to a worcester combination boiler? Not including the condensate pipe" which is posted in Boiler Advice Forum on UK Plumbers Forums.

Worcester boiler seems to have an extra cold feed from the boiler to the bathroom?

If this is the case... why?

The problem is that the hot water feed is fine. I.e. the hot water is red hot which is what I want..

As soon as the cold tap is put on though the hot reduces in temperature dramatically which is a pain as the shower will not get hot enough..

Is this 7th pipe a separate cold feed to the bathroom and at fault? or am I mistaken

p.s. condensate pipe would be the 8th pipe..

Thanks in advance..

Greg..
 
sounds like it is the condensate and it will be discharging into your bathroom waste which is fine, as said above post pictures I could be wrong.
 
Maybe it's not boiler to bathroom, but bathroom to boiler. So the hot water comes from priority pipe work. Or it might be secondary circulation?
