And lagged and increased to 1 1/4" if external or just increased to 1 1/4 if over 3m in length.

Hi Everyone,

Just like to thank everyone for their contributions and advice. Really appreciated it all as I didn't realise the implications of using copper piping for the condensate pipe

 

[oily face]

no and I come across this all the time copper ends up getting very thin and starts leaking

 

[AWheating]

no plastic pipe should cause a problem if installed correctly. Get the engineer back, or get a better engineer in.

The EA code is nothing to do with the condencing pipe work

A friend of mine smelt gas in his kitchen, turns out the condense connection at the boiler was dripping on to the copper gas pipe and had eaten through the copper causing the leak. Condense is acidic, that is why you have to use plastic.
