new condensate gizmo

[Billy Bob Bob]

made by Worcester it sits around the flow and only lets the condi go in a big gulp of heated water it prevents freezing so thought i would try on out on this potterton gold combi fit,the pipes lagged in waterproof armaflx,buried in the concrete chase and wrapped in denso ,also heres the prv terminal i have used quite a lot recently

was showed them in worcester factory a few weeks ago. Looks like a good idea, what was the cost?

[Billy Bob Bob]

no point its all being boxed in and the pipework was mainly existing as it replaced a combi

Clever piece of kit, the elbow part of the connections can also be cut off to enable straight connections instead of elbows.

Not criticising your pipework, Johnnyplumb has already done that lol.

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

as already said its being boxed in,why work hard to do neat work when its not going to be on display if all you lads want to do is criticise i remove the post heres me thinking i was being helpful showing new products on the market

Reel the neck in gasman, I mentioned the fact the elbow part of the fittings can be cut off.

The first time I looked at one of these about 6 weeks ago I was in the local merchants with the local Worcester rep, my first comment was about the elbows coming off the unit.

When we read the instructions it shows that the elbows can be cut off. Sometimes when we open boxes we dont look to closely at the instructions because we dont need to.

I was not slating your'e pipework just joking that johnnyplumb was :38:.

Some may have looked at those pictures and thought the same as me? I also thought I was helping out others by passing on my experience.

Have a beer and chill out, mines a Stella.

Kev.

TBH wanted to cut the elbows this is where problems will arise,yet two find two brands of overflow that are a good fit some fittings are so tight they split when you put them on why cant they make it a standard size its all supposed to be 21.5 but often is not

Hopefully one day they will make a Flexi condense pipe 😛arty:

universal overflow fittings with rubber seals like waste pipes, someone needs start making them.

 

[Kev the gas]

They do, like a compression socket , Plumb ctr sell them.

Sorry for crap photo, wife looking at me like Im weird.

There are no markings on the fitting, it will take any size overflow pipe.
