Carrerahill Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) No, the waste pipe will be rated the same or higher than the water pipes, the solvent weld stuff I bought was 90° constant and 115° temporary. Think that you could have a hot shower from water pipes made of the same stuff as the heating, draining down the waste, essentially the temps are the same after a while. Or a dishwasher or washing machine emptying from a 90° wash. I often give my kitchen sink a kettle or two of boiling water when I think fat may have been spilled. Don't panic! If it was wiring, I would maybe start to sit up. Edited April 20, 2022 by Carrerahill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJNewton Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) ..and is that pipe insulation providing some separation? If so, and of a thickness that'd prevent you been scalded if you put your hand on it then the heat transfer is relatively insignificant.
