blow off capped off

[jonesy76]

Went to my mums bungalow to see about fitting an outside tap took alook outside and noticed a pipe below the flue which was obviously the blow off but what puzzled me was it had a soldered cap end on it its not full soldered but never seen this before fitted a lot of boilers with my ex boss but alwqys kicked them back to the wall

22mm cap on 15mm pipe?

Some guys do this rather than turn the pipe back to the wall.

There's a special fitting you can get that looks like a cap. But I just point it back.

cheers for the reply doesn't look like an ordinary cap end

What ? just solder a 22cap on to 15mm pipe at the top on the outside ! Ugh - but I can see
it works and might look quite neat - CHK

Wont be capped off it will be a umbrella fitting/ mushroom fitting

yes, cut the 15mm at a 45degree angle then solder the 22mm on the end, my previous employer sometimes did this!
