Is the main problem in the photo not the fact that it looks like the safety valve has no discharge pipe leading from it?


I have seen a few commercial boiler rooms like this, tank fed cold water supplies.

Dont know the regs myself but does it have to vent to outside if not unvented ??

Asking the question not saying it is right :45:
 
It should be piped to a suitable drainage point where it's visually obvious that the valve is open or be fitted with a tundish. Most commercial boilerhouses just have these piped to low level to discharge on the floor.

That valve is, or should be, a combined temperature and pressure safety valve.

Like this thread , very funny... we used to have alot of these, but now fewer as the compliance certificates came in, cleaned up the industry, massive fines for stuff like this in Aust., suspensions and loss of licence. Even people getting crim records.
