It's a shocker isn't it? Look at the D1 from the T&P relief valve. The plastic! The Tectite wonder! I've asked him in the thread if the 15mm plastic pipe reappearing on the right side rear of the cylinder is the pipe coming from the T&P valve. Also I've asked to see the group inlet as well. I'm half expecting there to not be one.

Like you, I'm pretty certain he's done this himself, clearly not G3 and hasn't got a clue what he's doing.

It's a dangerous install.

Also d2 rises :D
 
A good engineer wouldn't use tectite fittings for a new install, first off 10x more expensive and it ain't as solid as soldered fittings.
Clips screwed to the cylinder are also shocking never seen that before. Definitely the plastic is really shocking ...

If he had concerns regarding his plumber he would have mentioned it but he did not, neither shows the mains water group
 
Guess the pressure static or dynamic

1/2 old black medium steel

And yes I've got to replace the stop tap :mad:o_O:eek::confused:
 
What you using to replace the old one. I only ask as I had to do one the other day and do you think for the life of me I can get the lead loc to seal. Been back to it 3 times already and it has the smallest of flipping weeps. It's killing my moral:confused::confused::(
