What would cause the pressure if that is the case.

Yes - the boiler is effectively a sealed vessel with the hot taps closed on the outlet and a non-return valve on the inlet. When the boiler heats up, the water inside expands. Most of the time the pipework is flexible enough to accommodate the expansion but ultimately the pressure relief valve releases a small amount of water. It should go via the clear pipe to the underside of the van. The clear pipe is what it appears to be - just a simple piece of pipe open at the end under the floor.So is this a pressure relief valve?
Whether it's a prv or not, that clear pipe is going nowhere.It looks like it comes into the underside of this valve, whatever that is. I assumed it was a drain point

Should that clear pipe that comes out of the floor therefore have been cut on installation allowing one to empty and one to relieve any pressure.
I’ve never emptied it before as it’s new to me.

It IS a PRV! See my last post. Non-technical - the clear pipe from the red thingy should go through the floor. It would appear from the photo that it has been extended and aimed through the gas drop vent - which would be fine as long as any water from it actually hits the gas drop vent. I can see no connection with the frost valve. Actually these discussions drive me nuts. Does no one read the installation manuals for caravan appliances (freely available via a five minute search) rather than add to on-line conjecture about how stuff should be installed and how it should work?But we still need to know if it’s a prv ,
That’s just what I was typing when you replied, perhaps that’s the way they are installed from new but then cut allowing 2 discharge pipes
But the red tee has to be a prv for this theory to work

And here it is....exits NEXT TO the drop vent then goes up to the DUMP VALVE.@tonyidle you say ( I can see no connection with the frost valve )
Mark has already said (took me less than 30 seconds to read)
If you don’t want to help mark then DONT.
But abuse is not the way mate
