Hi,

I need to cut out an old kitchen cabinet and there is a waste pipe in the way (see attached pictures). I tried to pull it apart but it feels like it has been glued. If it has been I guess I need to replace it in parts but I needed to know if it is necessary to glue it if it is only taking out condensation from the boiler.

How much condensation do boilers chuck out anyway?

If I do need to glue it, what sort of glue should I use?

thanks in advance

they don't chuck a lot out maybe a pint if its running all day, you need solvent cement to reglue it, it cuts easy with a junior hacksaw, and you can get connectors very cheap,

Thanks, any solvent glue or is this a standard product the plumbers merchants sell?

Any solvent weld will do, there should be a brush in the lid.

Put it on both surfaces and push it together quickly making sure it's in the right place as it goes off in seconds.

A 35 kW combi on hot water can give 2-3 litres of condensate every hour!

On CH about 1 litre per hour in a medium size house!

ok mr pedantic, how many boilers are running on hot water for 1 hour ? you'd get 156 gallons of boiling water in that time,

Mine runs for longer than that when I'm heating the kids pool up in the summer - 4' deep and 15' across



It's weird though the gas meter never seems to go up when I do it though
