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

Fitted this whole house water filter today, supplied by customer. Wondering if it’s worth having one at home 🤔

Yeah.

 

[Scott_D]

Press elbow on d2 ?

Yeah I didn’t have enough room to pull a bend and didn’t want the restriction of an endfeed

 

[SimonG]

Will it ever end 😫😫😫

Couldn't get the mosaics so thought it would be a good idea to cut them down. Need the extra grout lines for grip.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

And another one done replaced a 30kw bg 330 and installed a 19kw baxi and the frozen condys are starting 😀

 

[EvilDrPorkChop]

Had 3 frozen ones so far, annoying thing is two of them weren't ones we've fitted!

One that was ours was about 15 year old and before the time you knew they all froze up. Overflow going into 3" cast stack - will have to do something with it come new boiler time.

 

[SimonG]

Getting frozen oil lines. Nothing a few kettles of water won't fix.

I've been finding strange ones - like ones you'd thought wouldn't freeze, freezing up. One guys tonight that I fitted, literally has a 1 1/2" elbow coming out the wall into a downspout with no open end, in sheltered spot and that's froze 🤯 Guess no amount of big pipe and insulation will stop a drip freezing at -8.

Evident the ones that drip, like the Baxis, EcoFits (Glow Worms) and Ideals seem to freeze up more. I've not had any issues with Plus or Pros yet, or some of the newer Worcesters.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Yep had one that literally drops straight down for 12” and that froze east upsell for insulation having to insulate kitchen sinks as well one froze because of a dishwasher some how
