HALL of SHAME PHOTo`s

Hob on flexi as ever. The run to this point was clipped about 3 metres away and then had been plastered into the corner of the room

.

I dug it out to verify the it was soldered not compression, clipped the pipe and fitted a fixed connection with iso into the tiny space behind the oven.

 

[jonny5isalive]

Had another last week where the gas was run in 15mm almost straight from the boiler for an equivalent of about 20 metres as it went along the floor and then up the wall and over and down. Baxi solo 3 60pfl. Was 11 mbar at gas valve, 13 with adjustment. Had been given a safety certificate in january when vendor bought the place..... Reran straight in 22.

Few peachers there ermi, the bottom one with the 2 flues thats just priceless

 

[dm65]

Does this count ??

 

[Ermintrude]

What as? Art? At least there is 1.50mm between gas and electrical switch gear

 

[dm65]

It is currently in use and BG are happy with it

I say its in use, it is now me and a friend found the dodgy connection to the bedroom socket that was stopping it from firing successfully :thinking:

 

[dm65]

Here's another - surely this is ok ?

 

[plumben]

[Ermintrude]

Don't believe you those batteries ain't 9 weeks old and u got plug guard on!

 

[plumben]

Speed fit pipe/plastic pipe,
its the abbreviation my local merchant uses

 

[dm65]

I'm only diy so it doesn't get the abuse you guys would give it but it's been used for fitting outside taps, 20mm holes through walls for cables etc

I won't tell you about using it as a wrench when it wouldn't drive 2 concrete screws all the way home - dammit

 

[dm65]

Speed fit pipe/plastic pipe,

Ah, thanks, I won't feel so daft next time

 

[Ermintrude]

Was that boiler in your house then?

 

[dm65]

Don't believe you those batteries ain't 9 weeks old and u got plug guard on!

second set of batteries and my ocd forces me to put the guard back on every time

it's elder sister, a little 14.4v gets treat the same

 

[dm65]

Was that boiler in your house then?

yes - emergency move into a bit of a run down place but get cheap rent as I will put up with and fix issues to make it safe(r)

that boiler is still in my place - I know not to tackle something like that

 

[Ermintrude]

Good on u!

 

[dm65]

Doesn't stop me fixing that cistern up though

 

[rpm]

What no flexi? lol

 

[dm65]

What no flexi? lol

Sorry, got 2 but forgot to use one

I'll chuck one in when I do the sink pipework and make sure there's an iso under the floorboards again

 

[rpm]

Somewhere in the Hall of Fame, sorry Hall of Shame is a photo I posted showing 2 flexi on a cistern inlet.

 

[dm65]

I will have seen it, I've gone through the whole thread over several nights - highly entertaining read

I'll try and get some pictures of my external pipes that are tapped into next doors downpipe

 

[kay-jay]

Nice bit of plastic

 

[rpm]

What the hell is that? Count as least 4 pipes with kinks, that`s not gonna help the flow lol

 

[Best]

Why did someone join the flow & returns together, is what I am wondering!

 

[Ermintrude]

The links reduce flow and act as a bypass plus the nugget didn't think about blanking off when he was ordering gear

 

[happyflyer]

rpm you don't want any flow through those kinks they across the flow and return still like you say what a hell of a mess

 

[rpm]

Thanks, I didn`t have a clue what I was looking at, could of been hot n cold to 5 bathrooms for all I knew lol

 

[kay-jay]

Just a two up two down small terrace with badly installed plastic manifold heating.

Those kinked pipes were operating as a bypass so thats 3 bypasses, each stealing heat from the furthest rads. Pure muppet who Installed this.

P.s it was the same property as the heatline with the downwards flue [emoji38]

Still its a nice job for me repiping the lot in copper[emoji374] [emoji373]

 

[kay-jay]

This was his piping of rads

 

[Whyme]

Cant believe he's used four core.

 

[rpm]

It just gets worse, another kink and as for the clip spacing.

 

[Ermintrude]

Couldn't even keep clips equally spaced

 

[happyflyer]

Like Kay says those short bypass links will steal the head available for the index circuit, be impossible to balance, just need cap ends, whoever did it is Muppet and not got a clue, got the brain of a cod!

 

[kris]

Nice bit of plastic

Thats just wrong , lol

 

[kay-jay]

its an abomination! and all this is just the fitting, as more boards were lifted it became apparent he had notched the bejesus out of the joists.

i think he must have won the job on price, its hard to imagine that he came with a reccomendation :24:

 

[happyflyer]

Kris,

A bit wrong or a lot wrong, our trade is off the rails, how can anyone put their name to that mess.
