Don't connect it to the hot supply like in one house I went to, apparently the woman complained to the plumber about it after using it for the first time and he duly informed her that if she wanted it cold to turn off the boiler !

Haha, plan on doing it properly to regs. you never know something else may come of it.

If you do a good job without overcharging it will... oh and don't forget to clean up after yourself (goes along way sometimes)

Not pinching threads but I went to a house with no heating the other day/ week that had no central heating.
To cut a long story short, the outside tap was connected to the DHW and had burst which kept the combi in DHW mode.
Good news on you outside tap job keep it clean and don't rush

Always do to be fair regardless of who its for. funny really about how much it could affect future work. people always seem to remember the bad things more than the good ones.

Good luck. My first job was a new wc and basin. Although only 4-5 years ago it feels like nearly 15.

Was beginning to think I knew a fair amount but today met another plumber and he was showing me all the steelwork he'd done for a hotel while I was watching his mate grind out new threads on new steel pipes, etc ...

You never stop learning and reaching new levels.
