Engineer has installed several boilers for me. All the condensate pipes have been connected externally into soil stack or rain water downpipe. In each case he just drilled a hole in the pipe, and stuck the condensate in the side, smeared glue everywhere. No boss, or branch.
Is this allowed, is...
Yeah I agree, it’s all about proof.
M20 thread Sounds like the perfect solution.
I was just thinking we could just drill and use compression gland, but often the spark arrives after all done, so we could not get a nut on.
Although most import thing is education.
I found this thread on the Electricians forum, I was not aware us sparks could not drill a hole in the meter box, but now I know, it makes sense. Maybe I'm the only spark that does not know this, but I doubt it. There is nothing in our regs, and we are the ones fitting the bonding, so the IET...
I spoke to Hepworth at long length about this before install. They advised they have not tested on secondary return, so can't advise to use Hep2o. Therefore, their advise has to be don't use.
So in theory, there is no reason not to use.
But, I agree the plastic pipe is a contender, but why?
It was originally 60, but we turned down to prevent risk of scolding. But we then installed Thermostatic Mixing Valves on the taps closest to boiler. But then never turned back up. I've just checked and it was actually 57, we've now turned back up to 60 and will keep it at this.
Thanks for water...
Other than in the boiler cupboard, all pipes are lagged. This is a large HMO, the occupants don’t have a regime, so shower throughout the day. So need to have hot water snd pump on 24/7.
The water temp is set to 55.
What would you google for this, have you ever used such a company?
I got a Mains Pressure Hot water System, it's about 3 years old. The shower filters get blocked yearly, and if it gets drained for maintenance, when you purge the system, you get loads of brown sludge.
This is on the hot water side only.
How can I prevent this brown sludge build-up, and how can...
Got a response from Gas Safe Register, I think this clears up a lot of doubt about using MI generally. GSR Engineer now happy to proceed.
In terms of hierarchy, the following documentation should be followed in order. Legislation (Gas Safety Installation and Use Regulations 1998), Manufacturers...
Thanks, looks like they have tech support in uk, I’ll give them a call on Monday. +44 24 7653 5535
thanks for your assistance.

Gas engineer says no compression or mechanical joints can be concealed and must be accessible for inspection.
I’m a spark, our regulations are...
