Any idea what this is in the airing cupboard?

The attached pic is of an airing cupboard with hot water tank and associated pipework etc. Does anyone know what the device is with the white sealant around it near the tank? I assume it's to allow you to monitor water dripping from something.
Thanks.

Tundish

I would recommend getting a g3 (unvented) qualified person in to check over and service the system

It is a tundish with what looks like the innerds of a walnut whip.

Sounds a good idea. The colour of the floor looks like there has been a leak at some point. This might explain the quality repair job at the bottom of the Tundish. ;-)
