condensulate xtreme

[johnnyplumb]

just had a flyer through the door about this http://www.gti-limited.com/Content/brochures/condensulate_extreme.pdf
it looks like a good idea to me, a pre-insulated, flexi condensate pipe that you fit inside a 40mm waste pipe.
anyone tryed it ?

Insulating condensate? Can't open link on phone but how does it compare in price to trace heating? Or to just upsizing to 32/40mm on outside pipe runs?

to dear worcesters idea is simpler TBH,AND THAT WILL BE A PITA TO STICK IN A 40MM PIPE

 

[johnnyplumb]

3m kit costs about £30, about the same price as worcesters thingy, there's no need to lag pipe on the outside and your getting 3m of pipe as well
as you say though, might be awkward to feed into 1/1/2" pipe.

Have installed one of these the outside 40mm pipe had froze so installed one to try out but not had a bad frost since nice and cheap compared to trace heating but I mainly install Worcester and there gadget looks a good idea if running condensate out side think there Aboat £20.00

was it awkward to feed the flexi condensate pipe into the 40mm pipe

a length of 11/4 or 11/2 external lagging costs 4-5 squid if needed and is the cheapest option for a quick fix.

if running outside i tend to fit 1/14 through wall into inside and lagg if needed. I wonder how this product bends through the wall to get inside?

 

[archiedale]

yes, works well.

a length of £5 lagging might be the cheapest options but it's usually only a matter of time before the cats rip it to shreds.
there's no need to lag with this stuff.

do you mean it works well as a frost protection or is easy to use

No just followed instructions little awkward slide down main run first then slide on elbow then slide on next bit of pipe and so on I did mine on floor then lifted in position and fixed

Tidier than lagging, but how does it go through 11/2 fittings?

I ran 40mm to inside no problems but you have build it up pipe fitting pipe an so on you will not be able to make your 40 mm waste pipe up then thread it in

Will it fit through a regular 90 elbow then?

Yes had no problem

ive fitted lagging on tonns of external wate runs and not had one cat.......im mean customer complain yet LOL

if you want to stop your hungry cat just lagg and fit a larger sized waste pipe over it, simple, or chain a dog up by it.
