Are you allowed to run a discharge pipe from a cylinder into a soil pipe?

[Dan Masey]

Yep. And the D2 doesn't comply either.

Why not mate? The middle pic isn't D2 by the way. It's a condense from the boiler above. Pic 3 shows D2 with a constant fall. I didn't instal this by the way. I just came across it today. Like to learn these things. Not questioning anyone.

Ah you mean the 300mm before the first elbow??

Tundish is fitted right next to the double socket! These can splash if they discharge!!

I'm surprised the BI's dog didn't spot this

 

[Dan Masey]

Learning all the time. There are 65 of these fitted in a building we look after. ( we don't do the heating / cylinders by the way). They all get serviced every year. Wouldn't these changes need to be made on a service then? Maybe the regs were different when installed years ago.

 

[Howsie]

Nobody's been blown up/burnt in ages so the regs seem to get ignored... that's life.

The G3 regs have always had the fall in the D2 from memory.

looks like abs pipe, and the discharge pipe should have a direct connection to the hepvo valve using a male iron imo.
