Condensate Pipe

Tidyweb · 2012-02-09 15:09:52

I am installing a new condensate pipe from my heating system. I was advised I cant use copper and to use plastic. Turns out there are loads of bends etc to get to the drain. Is there a flexible pipe I can use for this job.

Not as far as I know. Overflow pipe + bends
would probably work out cheapest.

Just do it in overflow pipe , its how it should have been done at installation , when it goes outside you should use 1 1/4" marley pipe to the drain with a slight fall to prevent freezing , overflow and marley pipe is easy to work with and is not too expensive , if you dont think your up to the job get a plumber in to do it for you
