Hi they used to say as a last resort you could discharge the D2 pipework at high level and turn it back to the wall. Similar to a combi boiler. I have just looked back through the regs this seems to have changed and it isn't mentioned now. It now mentions if at high level it should be discharged in to a downpipe. Presumably metal. Anyone recently noticed this or done this thanks.
 
Yes needs to go to the floor as someone could walk past and get sprayed etc
 
Thanks, sure it used to say as a last resort you could turn back to the wall they must of got rid of this? They must be implying metal down pipe if discharging at high level and going on to down pipe?

They did but it was only as a last resort and they didn’t like it so they just said no in the last update due to risk of scolding

Ah I could take outside and run down in pushfit waste? Pushfit is heat rated for D2 pipe work. Solvent isn't ?

Correct and soil pipe
 
The regs I have maybe abit miss leading then. As you say plastic pushfit is rated
