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!

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.

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

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