Not sure If I am aloud to post anything in here, but as a newbie in plumbing notice this....

Maybe they wanted a powerflush and the plumber got mixed up?
a house i used to look after in highgate had a cysten in the loft with a small pond pump in it which when the switch in the toilet was pushed pumped water over the syphon and made it flush house got sold to the saudi king so not a dump

Could it be the sprinkler system water supply, but due to being on a meter rather than an uncontrolled expensive deluge of water, the occupier has to nip into the loft, flush the handle, this then discharges a controlled amount of water onto the fire thus saving the property and a huge water bill.

Maybe that's where mine is. My kids certainly can't seem to find it! Grrrr!
The clip on the 4 or 5 m flue is in wrong place so pulled flue 18d to vert turret goosed.
Wales and west had turned it off as CO detector kept going off. Flue in void. No access. BG had serviced it in April last year.
Service form said
flue safe no
Appliance safe to use yes
Sand in condense trap and flue. God knows whats happened to the terminal as no access

The fact that the combustion point in the flue had been snapped off and then filled with god knows what was more of a reason to turn it off id have thought.

Reminds me of a site in Gillingham when I was a kid. Bog was wooden privy hut on 4 crossed planks over deep pit. You walked across the planks to the hut and did your business through the hole in the middle. Fine until one of the planks broke. Poor bloke inside was never the same 🙂

Went to first fix a bathroom today for a fella who's DIY ing it, he said when I got there I've drilled the holes ready for you and done the waste, but I haven't got any glue for it can you do it I said yeah that's fine, took the waste out to solder up my too feeds and found this, can you spot the problemHe's cut the waste at a 45 angle so only 10mm of pipe is in contact with the 45 fitting

I believe that sometimes you have to stop and think "that is so wrong, it's actually right". That is just pure brilliance. I think I want one!
I wondered how long it would take for them to bring out the 'U6.1 - tamper proof meter'.
Excellent!
i know that bath isnt pretty but if it does the job in a property without the space for something more conventional why not

Certainly easier than pushing the turds down the plug hole where there isn't room for a khazi.
A certain local authority I once worked for had a childrens home with 2 gas supplies: MP supply at front with the meter buried halfway in the tarmac of the drive (kinda like a buried box but without the box), old LP supply at back across fields that used to feed a laundry. Doing a load of building and groundworks there found the old supply (no meter) was still live and pipe was only about 3" below ground. Builder wanted it out of the way as it was holding up his work. Phones gas board to chop off supply and they say need to contact shipper etc. so about 6 weeks delay. Looked at very dodgy rusty pipe and thought "I reckon it's leaking", couple of taps with a spade and a slight leak, phoned in as an emergency and supply chopped off and everybody happy within 2 hours!
Fused spur as junction box
I thought is was the council paint on the skirting board.

I was in the school next door and could see from there that that's not 1800 between flue terminal and tank.
