Clipacore has announced it will be launching its Condensemate condense pipe upgrade kit later this year.

When upgrading a boiler where commonly an externally run overflow pipe is in-situ serving as the condense, this will typically require upgrading to 32mm waste pipe to meet British Standards and that of many boiler installation instructions.

Once the redundant overflow pipe has been removed and left with an open exposed hole of 22mm-25mm, to ensure a larger hole (typically a 52mm core bit to accommodate the solvent weld elbow), it is almost impossible to create a new symmetrical hole. Typically, the 52mm core bit will skid across the wall and this runs the risk of damaging the brick face or render finish.

Condensemate is an all in one kit comprising of a 1/2" drill adaptor for the arbor, a long threaded adaptor for the use of dual cores, quick release clip, compression spring, and a 300mm long, 22mm diamond core bit.

The 22mm long core bit simply goes inside the existing hole (as a guide pin), the 52mm outer core bit (new hole) allows a fast and simple method in which to form a perfectly symmetrical hole and thus eliminate any risk of damage to property or the end user when using high powered drills (potentially working from a height on a ladder).

The product will be available from James Hargreaves Plumbing Depot in August this year.
