Note
The above chart is based on copper tube.
Plastic pipes may be of a different bore and resistance. Sizes and maximum lengths of plastic
should be calculated using data prepared for the type of pipe being used.
Discharge pipe arrangement
Note
The discharge would consist of high temperature water and steam. Asphalt, roofing
felt and non-metallic rainwater goods may be damaged by such discharges.
Note
It is not acceptable to discharge straight into a soil pipe. For guidance See G3 3.60.
