Thanks Canuckle,but you have linked to this site before and when i go to it i cannot work out how to find the relevant page.Where are the page numbers? Which section of the site do i need to go to? etc etc.

It appears that the site has a lot of useful info and that its my IT skills that need improving:rotfl:

And further to all comments i can't find any pipe lagging for 43mm pipe!! (well not in Wickes anyway).

As others have indicated perhaps because the cond pipe is that large maybe it will be ok without being lagged

Surely the definitive answer is to run it inside. I assume this can't be done.

yes its allowed. you can even connect it to your existing PVC waste pipe such as the kitchen sink.
boiler makers give precise details in their manuals. the specs must be followed to the letter.

You need to download the guide (domestic heating by gas) then go to page .....

I would say insulating is a bit over the top in view of your survival rate over winter/s but I would put some thing around that 22 x 42 mm transition.

Armaflex is outside the usual scope of the DIY sheds.

Specific Armaflex for condensate waste (only 35mm though).

Yes always best to run internal.

I think brig001 was suggesting that the OP should have had it run internally, (maybe it wasn't an option?) but the OP has had this boiler for at least a year so we have to work with what we've got.

Sorry, I should have been clearer, that is what I meant. Ours runs under the stairs to the sink waste in our downstairs loo - never freezes.

Can it be changed to run internally? Seems like this is the best option if a waste is nearby.

Well theoretically it could have been i suppose.It would have meant lifting all sorts of floorboards.In fact probably not as the stairs are between the boiler and the downpipe.(the boiler is in bedroom).

As canuckle said earlier there is only a small part of 22mm(i guess thats what it is) pipe going to the outside then it drops into the 43mm almost immedaitely.

I appreciate all the responses by the way.
