This 'outside tap' made me laugh, the customer could water his lawn without using a hose :smile5:

green thinking...very eco friendly lol

 

[Aquaman]

Lol, some people are clueless!

 

[julesverne]

Didn't realise I'd been doing it wrong all these years chip board on brick walls walls.

You do really have to wonder about some so called professional tradesmen.

[Dotty]

What is that thing on the gas pipe?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

What is that thing on the gas pipe?

emergency solenoid shut off valve (prob linked to stop buttons)

 

[Dotty]

emergency solenoid shut off valve (prob linked to stop buttons)

Correct. There's a gas safety panel connected to a low level gas sniffer (it's lpg) which knocks the solenoid of in the event of an emergency, a leak or an internal fault.

did you correct the faults?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

good old new build plumbers

(ignore the level valve )

being held via the flush pipes, and yes them little pita flex valves were the only iso other than the main 2" stop valve

 

[Dotty]

did you correct the faults?

Nah. It was a quoted service in a school. Remedials go in a report back to the office for them to issue a quote.

Unless it affects safety or operation in which case it'd be an immediate remedial.

I know its probably a long debated topic, but isn't the plastic potentially popping of and spraying red hot water out a concern for safety?

If you're referring to the corrugated pipe, it's a condense.

The safety discharge pipe was well clipped and secure.

 

[Riley]

I think he meant the pushfit fittings. Always ambiguous how close to the unit they can get.

 

[Dotty]

Mmm. They're down to be replaced with compression or yorkshires owing to the fact they're bloody ugly.

Had a survey at a factory to replace their hot water plant. Site manager mentioned that HWS circ was a bit poor, although the pump was running....

The same thing (in the same place) which says 'lets put in a super mega-sized gas water heater and 100 gallon storage cylinder (which heats up in 3 mins from cold!!!) to serve several basins and a couple of sinks, don't bother to insulate the pipes because it'll keep the factory warm, oh, and while we're at it stick in a couple of booster sets to feed some washdown hoses but chuck in a couple of 100 gallon storage break tanks to feed them with electric immersion heaters to keep the water hot after they've come off the hot water system' :dead:

 

[ShaunCorbs]

least its nice and easy to fix 😀
