Been asked to post;
I’ve just had my boiler serviced for the first time and the engineer has noticed a massive safety issue.
The discharge pipe (circled) has not been connected. If the pressure on the boiler went up, boiling hot water would fly out of that pipe and scold anyone near it.
He’s reported it to persimmon who luckily are coming out tonight, and he’s reporting the engineer to the gas safe register, but he’s concerned others on the estate have been installed the same.
I’d advise everyone to check and contact persimmon if yours looks like mine.
