Ideal Logic 24 - Condensate Pipe
TerracedHouse
Posts: 30 Forumite
I have the above boiler. Water keeps dripping down the plastic condensate pipe when I have the central heating on.
I have taken the front of the boiler off and removed the condensate container/trap and poured coloured water down the condenser pipe to see if there are any obstructions or leaks. The water went straight down the pipe to the drain, so no obstructions, but the coloured water did not appear on the outside of the condensate pipe. The leak only appears when the heating is on.
Any ideas?

It could be a fault with the seal on the flue gasket at the top of the boiler , as above don't muck about get a RGI engineer in and soon.You scullion! You rampallian! You fustilarian! I’ll tickle your catastrophe (Henry IV part 2)0

Why are you taking your boiler apart, do you realise that is part of the flue system?0
