Put a boiler in this week and positioned it nicely to use the old condense thats run behind plasterboard but ended up snapping it if at the elbow, no probs I'll cut a neat hole and connect onto the pipe with an elbow.

Could use a rubber condense elbow off a baxi but don't like the idea as won't be accessible.
