Having read a dozen threads here an elsewhere I'm still none the wiser as to what the preferred method of routing condensate from a boiler is. Apart from calling a pro that is. The current arrangement is not satisfactory.
Boiler is in an integral garage. Other side of the wall 2 metres along is a downpipe into a mixed rainwater/sewer.
OUTSIDE:
A single steep run of 32mm rigid pipe flowing into a hopper to achieve air gap and clad with armour flex, K-flex or similar. I think I'm good there?
INSIDE:
The boiler comes with a roughly 500mm length of flexi pipe leading from the condensate trap. It is considerably narrower than 32mm. So what to do? A washing machine trap with an upstand done in 32mm that I can stuff the flexi into? I read somewhere an internal air gap isn't allowed. I'm totally confused - surely there is a standard way of doing this ?
