[AWheating]

[kirkgas]

thanks for these, more training props

 

[stevetheplumber]

when condensing first came out we were told its no more acidic than orange juice

 

[GQuigley67]

i dont believe its as acidic as tomato juice i've seen it do some damage, holes in flues even on non-condensing combi's

not advisable to drink condensate then

The acidity of condensate does not make it harmful to drink, it's the lack of salts that makes it unfit for consumption.

 

[dontknowitall]

If it does this to brick and concrete what will it be doing to drains in 5 years?

 

[P J F PLUMBING]

i no the condense was discharging onto the patio the slab has a nice dent in it

Probalely needs to point up a little more for the condensate to run back to the boiler & then the hole around the flue cemented up. hope you At Risked it !!

Why would that be AR

 

[tamz]

Being a bit pedantic, but an uncemented or otherwise sealed bit of hole that could allow the poc's to blow back into the house whereby everyone inside will be very unwell or even dead.
About as much chance as me flying to the moon and riding the derby winner in the same week but rules are rules lol

[SafeGasInstall]

from floor level to the hight of your eye ! just looking of the angel you have the photo taken and been a garage therefore eye level

[SafeGasInstall]

[P J F PLUMBING]

[aggis]

Sorry if I seem a bit pedantic, just making aware of situation of sealing the wall where a flue goes through.

Safegasinstall....my eye level tells me the flues high enough as I am 2metres 8cm tall !!

 

[SafeGasInstall]
