What we all working on this week ?

[king of pipes]

I have a insurance job to try and rescue a poorly installed quad shower the customer wants to save the tiling if possible and has a few spare so fingers crossed it may work , the loss adjuster allowed em £1500 that will just about cover materials. Kop

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Yep
Can only hope they bend a pipe enough that water pees out all over them and they cant ignore it.

Yep tend to leave them at a higher pressure now

Ever thought of using Tracpipe mate?(just curious)

I have used it but it’s quite pricey.
I arrived with 3m of 22mm coated copper.
It was supposed to be a straight run and a chase made for me.

No chase, the island had moved and I don’t have another free day so I had to make it fit.
I used insulation as an extra layer of protection as the floor may be levelled with latex.

Definitely pricey but worth its weight. Just needs clipping otherwise it rises in the screed

Under sink water heater

 

[Ben-gee]

Very neat Scott. Is that the 10l and do you use 2 or 3 kW version?
I go for 2 as I live in hard water area and, maybe wrongly, think they last longer than the 3kW.

Also, have you binned the dielectric couplings?

Very tidy

Was a bit of a crazy job.
Another plumber had first fixed and mounted the heaters and got everything ready, then not turned up to pipe them up.
Got called in on Friday to finish them as the school opens on Monday.
One of the 8 didn’t work out of the box

Somehow they managed to raise my soil pipe by 23mm even tho it was clipped / braced so hammer time today 😀 was 205 after the tiling

After recovering from the cronovirus we managed to get away on holiday I took a private PCR test to make sure I was clear before we committed and also antibody test it turns out I've got antibodies in my blood from a previous infection so all in all I've had it in the past been double jabbed and still got the delta variant although I soon got over it . Regards kop

 

[Harvest Fields]

Nice mate. Glad you are ok and got away. My first day back to work today.

 

[SimonG]

Looks spot on and glad you're ok.

Enjoy 👍👍

Not a fan of those wall tiles. Floors nice.
The wall ones bring back memories 🤪🤪

 

[EvilDrPorkChop]

What's peoples take on mounting boilers on Ply? Thought the regs state that you can't mount on a combustible material, yet many mount on ply. Not saying it's wrong, but manufactures instructions i've read don't state that it can be done?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Old boilers eg Nat draught no

Modern condy yes as your not going over 50 dc

Is there a particular reg that states that? Cause I haven't read it anywhere that's all.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

I believe Worcester put a tb out about it can’t remember what it was called sorry

They are a bit crazy but are really nice up close

This is doing my head in.

Why? The pattern?

 

[SimonG]

Why? The pattern?

The pattern, the customer, the number of cuts, having to take the mosaics off the backing for a tighter spacing, I should be somewhere else etc etc.

The pattern was mental. Had to cover it up in the end. Have to extend it right through to front door, but not till end of month when customers away.

Lovely mate enjoy your time away.

Morning all, hope all is well in the plumbing world. It was bloody hot yesterday and as hot if not hotter today. Enjoy it while it lasts as apparently it's the last we're having for 2021. boooooo

 

[king of pipes]

Hotter still here Dan 🤣 enjoying some r and r .kop

Raining here. Welcome to Devon!

 

[Ric2013]

Not raining, but typical English grey day without sun and around 15°C at a guess. Unusual to have a dry grey day here at 3000ft altitude, so I'm guessing it will rain at some point.

 

[Harvest Fields]

Did these today. From standard rads with exposed pipes down the back. Got to go back and finish the plaster work though.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Don’t they come with 4 brackets ?

 

[Deleted member 120897]

Don’t they come with 4 brackets ?

I’ve seen a few with just 3, thought it was normal? Probably saves them 40 pence per towel rail 😃

 

[Keefy]

Not much to be honest but this dripping sink tap in my kitchen is beginning to do my head in after three years!

 

[Harvest Fields]

Both came with 3. Think it depends on the heights with centerrad.
