Rad is moving because its piped in ten mm a bit of silicon will help
As mentioned yours is 30mm by looks of it. Out of interest read a few lines down as the current Logics state external condensate pipework should also be insulated with weather proof insulation (type o) as a further precaution against freezing.View attachment 24366View attachment 24367
Photos of radiator as requested. Also slightly concerned because the installation manual states that the external condensate pipe must be a minimum of 30mm before it passes through the sleeved wall.
My pipe seems smaller. The list is never ending :whatchutalkingabout
Looks like a plumber who forgot to bring solvent weld glue.Hello,
This is my first post and I hope you could offer me some advice please.
We recently had a new boiler fitted, the boiler and radiators are working well, but the finish is awful.
The Condensate Drainage Pipe runs externally to the soil pipe, not ideal, but were having a conservatory fitted over it.
This pipe is now leaking from the joint where it meets the soil pipe and also the elbow and other joints. The plumber is avoiding our messages and to be honest I would rather ask someone else to do the job.
I have attached a picture of the pipe, I'm no expert but should it not be one pipe at an angle?
Please could you offer advice on what I should be asking a plumber for, I need this pipe to be water tight, as its going to be boxed in in the conservatory which is supposed to be getting done in the first weeks of January.
Thank You in advance (sorry I couldnt rotate it!)

Weather proof insulation (type o)
I think it's more to do with movement and abrasion mateWhen I say sleeved I mean the copper pipe should be run through the wall in a sleeve made from plastic overflow pipe. This is a regulation and prevents chemicals in mortar and plaster from reacting with the copper pipe which over time causes pinhole leaks
Well the plumber got back, he feels the condensate pipe is perfectly suitable, as he has installed 100's like that. They do have leaks where the glue needs resealing or the glue hasn't set.
He is coming to glue the pipe as needed. However I would feel more confident with one diagonal pipe. What would you recommend I ask for? Just a glue or a new pipe?
Thanks again
