Incorrect PRV termination?

[westyvip]

Hi,

I work on the Warm Front/Eaga scheme and have installed a boiler where the PRV terminates onto a 'public highway'. The house is basically an end terrace with the boiler fitted in a cupboard downstairs on the gable. Flue, PRV, Condense go straight out, however the inspector has failed the job as PRV is on a public highway.

The house has concrete floors and chimney breats preventing running the PRV internal into the back garden, so i was wondering if there are any regs or limitations stopping me running the PRV pipe externally round the house so the termination is in the back garden? Or would the external pipework be classed as incorrect as this is also on a public highway?

regards

rich

Can you not discharge the prv very low level, about an inch from the deck? Or direct it back towards the wall? Where does the condense discharge? I used to work for a contractor on the same scheme over here in NI and I thought then that half the monkey's doing the inspecting didn't have a clue!

Hi. What about fitting a tundish in the cupboard to recieve any discharge and be visable to housholder, as croppie says low level discharge. If you start running around the property unlike gas it can freeze and cause a iffy situation.

Ask the jobsworth - oops, inspector - what he would like and how you could do it. It'll save you trying again and getting it wrong again.
