Tundish Troubles? Ensuring Proper Discharge and Safety

The tundish is a crucial component of your unvented cylinder system. It's the visible connection point where the discharge pipe from the pressure relief valve is monitored. If your tundish is dripping constantly, overflowing, or showing signs of damage, it indicates a problem that needs immediate attention. We can inspect and rectify any issues with your tundish and discharge pipework, ensuring it's correctly installed and functioning as intended. This often involves checking for blockages, ensuring proper fall (gravity), and verifying the pipe diameter meets regulations.
