HALL of SHAME PHOTo`s

[Best]

Pressure reducing valve has been fitted on lower floor. Going to be fun servicing it. :smile: Relief valve obviously wrong place also. Whoever did this work definitely is capable of doing copper pipes and soldering neat, but I can't understand why they have the heating pipes to coil just straight out from connections taking a lot of space up.

Think that's a megaflo so it's got the internal one

Yes, it is indeed a Megaflow, so as you say, it has an internal air gap.
Workmanship not really deserving of Hall of Shame, but pity the plumbers couldn't have done it better and to proper unvented rules. The combination valve shouldn't be elsewhere and the separate pressure relief valve and its d1 needed above and dropping into tundish

How do they get away with this! It always makes me wonder how bad everything else must be inside.

I think the rad is correct and some spud has built the stairs wrong.

Always try to use short pieces of chromed pipe from chrome towel rails valves to keep the finish professional

Soil stacks really aren't that important to do properly

not liking all of the unnecessary chrome, could do with more expensive plastic to give it that classy finish

why, just, why?

answers on a postcard


£600 is the answer!

I bet those bends were off of the original system, have to admit the bloke must have known what he was doing (if it works) because I get travel sick just trying to trace it!

Before you ask, no I didn't. That was the colour of the water coming out of the tap!

Builder-Got any 4" fittings on the van?
Plumber - got a few odd and sods.
Builder-couldn't let us have some?
Plumber thinks - thought I'd never get rid of those old bits.
Builder- Doesn't look to bad does it?
