TECHNICAL ADVICE - NOVEMBER 2018

CONDENSING BOILER CONDENSATE DISCHARGE PIPE INSTALLATION GUIDANCE

In 2010 and again in 2018 the UK experienced prolonged spells of sub-zero temperatures. This resulted in a significant increase in the number of calls to boilers where the condensate discharge pipe had frozen and become blocked with ice, causing the boiler to shut down. In the most cases such problems occur where the condensate drainage pipe is located externally to the building for some part or all its length.

British Standards, Building Regulations and various guidance currently advise on how condensate discharge pipes should be run either internally or externally, or a combination of both. This document gives guidance on how to install the pipes to reduce the possibility of freezing.
NOTE - This guidance may not be enough to prevent freezing in extreme conditions - with widespread and prolonged sub-zero temperatures.

In addition to this guidance all other technical requirements for condensate discharge installation given in British Standard BS 6798:2014, or in boiler manufacturers’ installation instructions should still be followed.

Capita have been announced as preferred bidder for Gas Safe services

Capita Plc will continue to operate the official register of engineers licensed to undertake gas work on behalf of The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) on a 5 year contract.

Following a robust public procurement process, Capita Gas Registration and Ancillary Services (CGRAS) – a division of Capita Plc – was declared the preferred bidder to provide Gas Safe registration services from 1 April 2019 – 31 March 2024.

CGRAS will continue its provision of the service having operated the Register since 2009 but with several service enhancements.

The Gas Safe Register is fully funded by registration fees (it has around 132,000 registered engineers and 75,000 registered businesses) and fees for building regulation notifications.

There is no action required for businesses and engineers currently registered and no change to registrations or renewal dates. All contact numbers will remain the same and registered engineers will be informed by the provider of any changes to the service that may affect them before they are introduced.

Anyone working on a gas appliance without being registered is doing so illegally and could be prosecuted ... See MoreSee Less
