Before I ring my plumber I thought i’d consult the STW oracle on this one. I’ve got a brand new condensing boiler installed lat June. All has been well since then but i’ve recently noticed that the pipe that comes out of the bottom of the boiler that is the outlet for the condenser keeps popping off and water is coming out all over the floor below the boiler. I think this pipe doesn’t contain full flowing water, more of a drip or dribble of water, and as such the pipe is not actually fixed to the boiler – its just on a push fit type of fixing. The pipe outputs into the drain under the sink so doesn’t vent to outside, so not the issue of it freezing – not that the temperatures are cold enough to freeze at the moment.
So i’m not sure what is causing the pipe to pop off – is there some pressure build up that’s popping it off? or is it the weight of the water simply pulling it off? Also is it an indication that something is wrong or malfunctioning? It appears to be working perfectly fine with no error codes showing.
Thanks all.
