Love the push fit was gas all compression?

DIYER?

Nah I went looking for it too lol but it was all solder. That female fitting had the fibre washer and a pile of paste in it too.

That was an installer who canna be bothered with benchmark books.

Nice bit of plastic

Do us a favour Kev, can you tell this customer that she still owes me a tenner? I ran over budget because of all the pipe clips and she said she would sort it.
Cheers pal.

Yes that's right. This NETATEC was held on to 9mm plasterboard with these expanding fixings. Yes it did fall off the wall when we were servicing it. No, the missing flue clips didn't make any difference to the fact that the installer didn't use or record any fga results on 18/04/2012. Yes I've got your name and company details from your invoice for gas safe .

I usually try file my solder a bit smoother than that, especially if I have run out of them olive things.

 

[GasmanxxxR1]

You have to admire the ingenuity

 

[chris watkins]

They are Prestex fine threads, they lost the old nuts & would not be able to find replacements, the new 1/2" BSP will not fit.

 

[Ermintrude]

I've soldered onto compression for hose leads. 3/4 rad nut on to 15mm

[jonny5isalive]

5mb drop. Called out to one of my regulars who were smelling gas in the hallway last night. This was at least 10m from the hallway. Cooker fitted on thursday by the kitchen fitters plumber (gas safe). Either they didn't do a tightness test or they left a 5mb drop, either way I'm going to have to RIDDOR. You can actually see the holes in the mass of solder he used on the other side of the snot.

 

[Ermintrude]

5mb your just being fussy. Isn't the regs 3 or 6mb with a bit of a smell just not a huge cloud of gas? That's how I read it.

 

[jonny5isalive]

I just wrapped it in ptfe and moved on

 

[jonny5isalive]

I always read it that the regs could be ignored if you had something more important to do. Or were late for your tea

 

[Kev the gas]

Obviously the staff in the office are more important than the plebs on the counter and the customers

 

[Kev the gas]

a very cautious approach to overheating cables underneath insulation

 

[happyflyer]

If cables are sized correctly they won't get hot under insulation, but hell I have seen much worse in a roof space, nice photo, I like the insulation not fibres

 

[happyflyer]

A bit of insulation might be better, stop the condensing

 

[GasmanxxxR1]

love the cable holders on the far beam made from 2.5, someone has actually put a lot of effort and thought into it, perhaps misguidedly

[Best]

If cables are sized correctly they won't get hot under insulation, but hell I have seen much worse in a roof space, nice photo, I like the insulation not fibres

One genuine reason for raising cables would be to keep them hopefully away from mice. I would personally rather have a 100mm board screwed down on joist near the eaves & clip wires to it or use trunking. Nowadays this 300 deep insulation is making attics ridiculous.

 

[chris watkins]

It can be a real problem if cables were installed correctly above the insulation & then a top-up layer of insulation is added.

It is where the cable is encapsulated in insulation so the heat cannot disperse & then maybe runs along side others or is twisted /coiled that overheating becomes a problem.

Keeping it dry!

Came across this one a while back in a very nice villa in Dorset. Two b/f oil boilers, one on top of the other, pipework and pumps installed by the plumber's guide dog and woefully undersized heating pipes to the far wing. To service the top boiler you had to stand on the bottom one! Now replaced with couple of decent LPG boilers around the corner but still running on cylinders after a year because the groundwater was too high to bury an LPG tank. Still, they can afford it!

 

[stevetheplumber]

Re: Keeping it dry!

this is an advert on gumtree you thinkk they would show a instal that complies with regs

Clearly hasn't got his G3...........d2 on first pic will just fill the floor up.

 

[PhoenixServices]

At least when it does go the customer will do something about it as it will be all over the floor. Round here people seem to leave them dripping for years on end.

 

[Ermintrude]

At least it's copper!

On a serious note with foil insulation. I know a guy who got zapped from it.
Insulation laid over an open junction box and had gone live. One to watch for.

Spotted this in an alley, I wonder how the foundations are doing.

Thought the same, but there was a screw hole or some hole right in the middle of the board. I guess pipework went it after the hole has been made. It could be a gas pipe… Some people have no fear…
