Martyn Bridges Technical Director at Worcester Bosch UK states
“The hotun hiflo [dry trap tundish] is a good solution to the issue of PRV discharge pipes from a sealed heating system into a waste water system provided that the waste [and soil] pipes are of a standard to accept the expected temperatures and pressures of the discharging water”
Martin Butcher, Technologies Specification Manager at Vaillant UK states
“The hotun addresses the issue of removing outflow from a sealed system pressure relief valve into an internal waste or soil pipe, preventing foul odours back into the building when connected to discharge pipes specified as suitable for the temperatures and pressures involved in the system”

“The hotun hiflo is acceptable for use with ideal condensing boilers, it offers a useful solution to the issue of combining a sealed system boiler pressure relief discharge and condensate pipe into a single termination point to a buildings waste water system. Please note that the waste pipes need to be of a standard to accept the potential pressures and or temperatures involved with a sealed system under discharge scenarios”
