Condensate Pipe Falling Down

[veedee]

My condensate pipe falls down occasionally

I would like to place something where I have placed the red arrow, to prevent this.

However, I wanted to ask what would be an ideal thing to use?

I believe that clips are out of the question as the condensate pipe sits far from the wall

How old is it get installer back to install it correctly that would be the ideal thing

Hi Make a spacer from a small a peace of wood fix to wall behind pipe then fix clip to spacer

Yup, as @gas112 mentions, get the installer back in. He should be using spacers and clips, leaving it unsupported is bad practice.

As suggested if you can get the installer back then get them to use spacers or offset using a couple of fittings. Also be careful near that switch

No worries chaps! I will get the installer back on the job as it was me

Guess i did a cowboy job

So i do as @baldykev suggested, with a piece of wood to the wall, then add the clip? Just curious whether there are there any other options?

Thanks guys

Thanks bernard. The cable is the power cable for the boiler.

Use a couple of insulation spacers -

Boiler install

You use Talon clip over clips, and the clips sit on the spacers and they are then screwed into the wall. They are usually used with pipes with insulation but it may give enough space to span the copper.

looking at that, there is plenty of slack to fit a couple of clips.

Why aren't there any clips at all on that condi pipe?
