Remote Pressure Relief Valves

[Rickster123]

Yeah I know the problems with it. But.. He'd lagged it in the loft and put a drain off at the lowest point so that the pipe could be worked on. I mean it had to be repiped because it doesn't meet the contract standards but is there a reg against this because he's certain that there's nothing preventing this being done.

App, if he will do something like this when you are there what will he do when your not, let him take a walk and go back to school.If its an existing house, drill a hole between the joist on outside wall push the 15mm pipe through the hole until its under the CC and take a board up,

no regs really needed, manufacturers instructions should cover it. Ask him if he can prove the manufacturer allows it? you could point towards part g/ unvented discharge regulations if you wanted to, as a guide.

You want some guy to loose his job over that, get a grip

Depends what else he's done if he won't fix it like the boss wants.

He's a subby after all - who's in charge?:2guns:

If it's not up to your standards, then it doesn't matter who's right or wrong , so long as they way you want it done is within regs, then you are right.

I thought it always had to slope away from the boiler. Not up at any point.

Me too, appears some will accept anything, that's why there are still plumbers from hell, do what you want attitude

Its not been accepted as it doesn't meet the contracts requirements. BUT what is the real issue with it? The valve isn't there as a drain valve it's there to release pressure. This would still be done if it travels up and out wont it? I'm not saying you're wrong I'm just asking if it actually poses a safety risk?

If it froze in the roof space, what would you think then, I would have thought you need to design out any risk, sod what's the easiest way to do it. I agree with Dan it should self drain, if there is water lodge in it and it is likely to freeze up its a time bomb or am I totally wrong, nay not the job centre, off with his head!!!

You link the prv pipe into the heating then fit the remote valve with no valves in between. I think I have a technical email from ideal.
I can forward it if you pm me your email address

Baxi did one a few yrs back, can't remember combi model but is piped in as Scott d has said.
