I'm sure he's done it him self but open to different thoughts

It's a shocker isn't it? Look at the D1 from the T&P relief valve. The plastic! The Tectite wonder! I've asked him in the thread if the 15mm plastic pipe reappearing on the right side rear of the cylinder is the pipe coming from the T&P valve. Also I've asked to see the group inlet as well. I'm half expecting there to not be one.
Like you, I'm pretty certain he's done this himself, clearly not G3 and hasn't got a clue what he's doing.
It's a dangerous install.

He could be. That's why I have not commented. Something's sounds off to me. But who knows?

A good engineer wouldn't use tectite fittings for a new install, first off 10x more expensive and it ain't as solid as soldered fittings.
Clips screwed to the cylinder are also shocking never seen that before. Definitely the plastic is really shocking ...
If he had concerns regarding his plumber he would have mentioned it but he did not, neither shows the mains water group

Where is it a cave ??
old cottage in a town 15 mile from anywhere
and the original hole was just slightly bigger than the stop tap head
What else did you find down there? And no idea. 1 bar?
no dead bodies if thats what your asking
What you using to replace the old one. I only ask as I had to do one the other day and do you think for the life of me I can get the lead loc to seal. Been back to it 3 times already and it has the smallest of flipping weeps. It's killing my moral😕😕🙁
on steel lead loc wont if its lead philmac transition coupling
steel prob un thread the stop tap and use a 1/2-1/2 coulping and then a 1/2 male iron in that
Mine is lead. I have seen the Philmac fittings but they are bulky. Do not think that I will have space for it. But will give it a go.
whipe a piece of 15mm in
Ha ha. I would give it a go if it was not illegal!
tbh i dont care its a valid joint on a lead main so no more harm
Wouldn't want to take the chance. But everyone to there own.😀
tbh its the same as putting a lead loc on or transition coupling
I'm with you on the fact you should be aloud to do it. But I am a sucker for the rules🙁🙁🙁🙁
