boiler condensate drain

[Stephen]

Hello,

Daft question but the condensate drain made of 22mm "overflow" pipe, does it have to be solvent welded or is push fit ok?

Thanks, Stephen.

I bought some 22mm overflow today for exactly that job on my new boiler. I assumed it was solvent weld, but looking at the label on the pipe its described as push fit.

Im going to weld mine I think.

I've only ever seen pushfit AFAICR

Generally solvent weld but I sometimes leave one or two joints un-solvented so they can be disassembled if necessary.

Some push fit cannot be solvent welded.
