Solvent Weld White 32mm (36mm) Waste Pipe 45 Degree Bend - Pack of 5

Product Information

By insulating condensate pipes, you can ensure that these pipes do not freeze which gives you a smooth functioning boiler. Not only that, but insulating condensate pipes also reduce the risk of condensation, which in turn prevents the risk of wastewater drips damaging the structure.

As the saying goes a stitch in time saves 9, and not lagging condensate pipes could lead to a hefty bill to call an engineer out to fix your boiler. It's not the longest thread thankfully but some of them are and they can be fairly tedious to go through.

In the majority of cases, the boiler will just cease to function, leaving you without any heating during freezing temperatures, literally the worst time to have a boiler breakdown occur!

That being said as long as the pipe isn't leaking and it is in good condition then any kind of pipe insulation can be used but if it's not nitrile rubber or condensate pro but anything other than a closed cell foam lagging, then this will need cladding on the outside to protect it from the elements. A majority of today's gas boilers are high-performance condensing boilers that condense water vapour using fuel to produce heat. The heat so produced is directed to your heating system to help maintain warmer indoors. I have a joint welded into the soil pipe which offers a pushfit to the plumbing. That seems to be 36mm exactly. This has a grey 90deg bend pushed into it with a compression joint on the outer end. The 90deg bend is clearly labelled 1 1/4" moulded into it. It's OD is a mm or so over the chrome pipe I am trying to mate to and it fits perfectly with no clearance at all into the mouth of the pushfit.Moreover, by insulating condensate pipes, you ensure that they remain protected from damage due to external factors like UV, harsh climate etc, which in turn improves the overall boiler functioning.
