A new solution for frozen condensate pipes

Condensulate Xtreme – a fit-and-forget solution from insulation specialists GTi – has been created to protect the condensate pipes of condensing boilers from freezing during the winter months.
Developed from space age ‘trickle-down’ technology material, Aerogel, Condensulate Xtreme – unlike other solutions – uses no moving parts, thermostats or electricity.
Martin Clayton, GTi Business Development and Strategy Director, said: “I have complete faith in this product above all others in the market.
“It really is fit-and-forget and should last around 60 years in most situations. It just quietly gets on and does its job. When it’s sleeved inside a waste pipe, it is immune to UV degradation, or attacks from vermin or vandals.
“We’ve had it independently tested by the Building Research Establishment to -20°C; it did not freeze at -10°C and is BS 5864-2010 compliant. British Gas has been extensively using the product.’’
The Condensulate condensing boiler pipe insulation 3m kit includes:
• Condensulate pipe – 3.0 linear meters
• 1 x straight adaptor/connector – 21.5mm x 20mm
• 1 x adaptor/reducer – 32mm x 21.5mm
• 1 x pipe end – 21.5mm
• 1 x Drainguard
• 1 x Instruction card

Features and benefits:
• Easy to install – includes adaptors.
• Fully integrated and flexible pipe.
• Not vulnerable to UV degradation, vandalism or vermin when sleeved in waste pipe.
• An innovative cost effective solution.
• No electrical or mechanical parts – no power supply needed.
• Aesthetically pleasing.
• Sleeve in 40mm waste pipe.
• Independently tested by the building research establishment to -20°C.
• BS 5864-2010 compliant.
• Testing with a flow rate at 500ml per hour.
• Boilers only produce condensate whilst operating in condensing mode, flow rates are not con-stant.
• Note: It is recommended that no more than three metres of Condensulate is run externally and is not fixed horizontally and that as much fall is maintained as possible. Swept bends are recom-mended.
