Altecnic 2 1/2 x 3 Mild Steel Straight Tundish 128-2005 CST

The 2 1/2 x 3 Mild Steel Straight Tundish is a fabricated mild steel fitting from Altecnic, listed under the Altecnic Tundishes range. A tundish of this type is installed in discharge pipework to provide a visible air gap between the safety discharge outlet and the drainage connection. It is used on boiler installations where the discharge route must remain open to atmosphere and allow overflow to be seen.

• Corrosion, pitting or heavy scale on the mild steel body, restricting the discharge path
• Water overflowing from the tundish body rather than passing through to the drain
• Water standing in the tundish or draining away slowly, indicating a blockage in the fitting or the pipework below it
• Weeping or staining at the tundish joints or connections
• Visible distortion or physical damage to the straight section or the air gap

• Confirm the stated size 2 1/2 x 3 matches the pipework and the discharge arrangement on the installation
• Check that a mild steel straight tundish is suitable for the discharge route and the surrounding components
• Inspect the existing pipework connections for condition before fitting, as a blocked or restricted discharge will affect any replacement
• Have the appliance make and model to hand when checking compatibility against the Altecnic Tundishes range
