CDS 1 Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 To resolve problems with condensate pipes consider the following:1) Re-route the pipe so that it is all internal. This will resolve the problem completely. If this is not possible try to reduce the length of pipework outside.2) Increase the size of the pipework. This allows the condensate to drain quicker and thus less likely to freeze.3) Insulate the pipework.4) Raychem do a trace heating tape/wire for Condensate pipe. Link to post Share on other sites
