Came across this. Garden hose for a PRV pipe off a combi boiler. Jesus wept.

Why bother moving the copper radiator pipes to the proper place nice and neat?
Just get a builder to do your bathroom and leave the existing copper pipes and do this, -

Nuts!

Nuts!

Yes. Rest of job (plastic wall paneling etc) looks okay. Surely a little effort would have moved the microbore pipes below the floor and brought up copper 15mm neatly and directly to towel rail. I didn't need to ask who recently did the bathroom. Had to be a builder.

Hahaha that's a cracker

Pressure reducing valve has been fitted on lower floor. Going to be fun servicing it. :smile: Relief valve obviously wrong place also. Whoever did this work definitely is capable of doing copper pipes and soldering neat, but I can't understand why they have the heating pipes to coil just straight out from connections taking a lot of space up.

wheres the expansion vessel?

Think that's a megaflo so it's got the internal one

Yes, it is indeed a Megaflow, so as you say, it has an internal air gap.
Workmanship not really deserving of Hall of Shame, but pity the plumbers couldn't have done it better and to proper unvented rules. The combination valve shouldn't be elsewhere and the separate pressure relief valve and its d1 needed above and dropping into tundish

mastic every where holding the flue onto the unit and holding the bricks inplace

How do they get away with this! It always makes me wonder how bad everything else must be inside.

I think the rad is correct and some spud has built the stairs wrong.

Always try to use short pieces of chromed pipe from chrome towel rails valves to keep the finish professional

Soil stacks really aren't that important to do properly

not liking all of the unnecessary chrome, could do with more expensive plastic to give it that classy finish

why, just, why?

honestly this is just like the one in one of the properties I look after (think it was done end 14 beginning of 15) I saw it and asked some questions, like WTF? guess how much it cost?
answers on a postcard


£600 is the answer!

I bet those bends were off of the original system, have to admit the bloke must have known what he was doing (if it works) because I get travel sick just trying to trace it!

Before you ask, no I didn't. That was the colour of the water coming out of the tap!

Builder-Got any 4" fittings on the van?
Plumber - got a few odd and sods.
Builder-couldn't let us have some?
Plumber thinks - thought I'd never get rid of those old bits.
Builder- Doesn't look to bad does it?

Jeez! it wouldn't have taken much to actually get it in the tub, that way you could have long baths without having to refill!
