"Most professional plumbers will fit a boiler on an external wall unless they are taking the flu through the roof tiles and the condensation pipe will go to a drain or gully."

"It's depends. May I know is this line for dehumidifier or others? A slope for the pipes required I thought."

"Hello
It doesn’t matter really as long as it either goes into a drain or you can buy some filter stones ( not sure what they are possibly chalk ) so the water can be filtered as the water is contaminated. The water also always needs to run downhill.
