My combi condensation pipe travels inside the garage and through the wall to a grid outside in 22.5mm pipe. It freezes up in cold weather. I've now insulated the pipe inside and outside the garage (but not inside the wall) but want to ensure a permanent fix.
My idea is to cut the pipe inside the garage and let it drip into a much larger pipe that goes through the wall and empties into the grid.
My question is, should this larger pipe have a water trap (U bend) inside the garage. Could the water in the trap freeze due to the small amount of water running into it?
