I was going back to hide it with the pedestal - honest

 

[Kyle87]

If you were going to use plastic you would surely have the decency to hide it!!
And if you can't hide it, don't use it!!

What's the purpose of these 127 metre flexis anyway? I've never understood what they're intended use is.

I remember Roger Bisby writing in a trade magazine that he runs up behind pedestals in 10mm plastic, as it's easy to hide behind the pedestal, and flexible enough to run straight up to the taps. I thought it wasn't a bad idea to be honest, though I've not ever done it myself.

I haven't had to run pipes up from the base of a pedestal for a long time, (a couple of years) as quite often in new bathrooms, I'm chasing my pipework in, or running it in the new stud work, or just fitting floating, vanity or other types of basins.

The two on the right are the last two bathrooms we did. (both finished the week before last) The first photo is possibly the last standard basin with a pedestal I fitted. Really don't do many these days.

Enough of the nice stuff, back to the dodgy pics. On a small caravan site doing some remedial works after they had some new water heaters fitted and annual gas safety checks done by a local firm. A firm I sub to got called in to look at a faulty regulator and noticed that the wrong flue had been fitted to one of the vans. The old flue had been the vented type and the new flue was a standard one. The owners contacted the original firm and they said that there was nothing wrong and refused to come back. Gas Safe were contacted and came and did an inspection and highlighted faults to all three installations, mainly ventilation issues because the new heaters were 10 litre models instead of the 6 litre ones taken out.

Gas Safe wanted the original firm to come back in to carry out the work but the owner wasn't happy with that so I've ended up there to rectify the known faults and check the rest of the gas appliances.

I decided to tackle the worst van first. I did the flue to the water heater and then proceeded to carry out the annual inspection. I rectified a gas leak and then moved inside. I took the fire out to inspect the catchment space and found this.

It looks a bit rusty around the relief ventilation opening.

Removing the closure plate revealed.

I'm fairly certain that the fire wasn't removed to check the space last year, that has certainly not just happened.

Checking the ventilation to the van I found.

This was in the small bedroom and, again, looks like it has been there a lot more than a year.

Just got the other two to sort out tomorrow.
