Following up on the freezing condensate pipe thread.
My boiler is located in my garage with pipe through wall to external pipe approx 8 inches of pipe outside. It has frozen a couple of times but I have just pulled the connection in the garage and let it drip into a tray. When the weather improves I will try and insulate the external part, whats best to use.
(An aside to this is I cant buy any insulating material, unemployed no benefits zero income. The joys of home ownership and a supporting government)
I was thinking of using a bubble wrap type material I have, cut into a long strip and wound around the pipe several times and then seal with duct tape. Would this suffice until better times, trying to use what is freely available. Or any better suggestions. (please no job jokes pissed off as it is)
thanks
