HALL of SHAME PHOTo`s

Expansion vessel should be sited on pipe work with no valves on or between it and the heat source?

They know that Vern

 

[SafeGasInstall]

Just looking on the photo is that a PRV is on the flow pipe ?

Judging by the boarded up door below, I think they could be squatters.....which would explain the terribleness of it.

Squatters will not be installing soil pipes in the house, they would find the house with all mod cons in place.

Well, you never know. I saw a documentary on squatters and their ingenuity was only beaten by their dogged determination to avoid full time employment.

Chris ,
what are the two pumps feeding to the left ? What is under the boiler rhs a secondery hot water pump ? What's the pump doing on the return to the boiler for and is there no expansion vessels fitted ?? I know is not your work just interest to find out the job specification .
also is both cylinders of one primary flow with one motorised valve ?

That sort of install is way beyond me but I find it a real tragedy that someone who can make such a neat and professional LOOKING job, doesnt know what he's doing (not from my observation - I wouldnt know). I take my hat off to you lot for fault finding it because it certainly looks the part.

 

[SafeGasInstall]

Some trades man don't understand how things work they just install them .....

 

[SafeGasInstall]

On today's safety check I had a heat o ly boiler converted to sealed system with prv straight out on the first bend over the boiler on the flow pipe and expansion vessel in the airing cupbored on the positive side of the pump , + many more faults

 

[mitchellcook]

Just found this one from my apprentice days

 

[SafeGasInstall]

Could have painted the wall lol

 

[mitchellcook]

I'm terrible with a brush. Think I failed art at school lol.

 

[Koogatubac]

Flue is terrible mitchell

 

[SafeGasInstall]

I am sure that is why he posted it
not to show us how good his painting skills are lol

 

[mitchellcook]

Just like to point out this is one we ripped out. This was one that I used in my ACS portfolio.

 

[on31ll]

Someone spent a lot of money on that just a pity there plumber just didn't quite know what he was doing

You loom at it and think quality install even like trunking on floor for circuits etc then you look deeper into it and you see faults !you can see a plumber has done it ! Just out of his depth maybe !

I fitted an outside tap for my college bricky department and decided I might as well use the opportunity to use it as evidence of me following PPE rules for my portfolio. I'll have to scan the photo one day to show you how cool I look wearing a hard hat, ear defenders and goggles while drilling the hole standing on my ladder (propped at 45 degrees of course). I think it's 45 degrees, is it?

 

[lame plumber]

wouldnt stay up long at 45 degrees!!!!!!!!!

 

[SafeGasInstall]

Bring it on Keefy

1 out for every 4 up I think!!?

I have some old photos from when I did my NVQ. I've a lot more hair, and less belly. Depressing!

 

[Keefy]

I'll try and dig it out after my dinner and yeah, I think the ladder thing is 75 degrees or 1 in 4 - something like that.

 

[Dannypipe]

Dig em out Keefy!

 

[mitchellcook]

I feel a new thread coming on - Portfolio Photos from back in the day :smiley2:

 

[Keefy]

Couldn't be bothered plugging in the printer so here's some pics of the photos instead:

 

[SafeGasInstall]

75 degree on the steps & 75 degree on the drill

 

[Keefy]

75 degree on the steps & 75 degree on the drill

LOL was waiting for that.

Edit: Then again, that was the bricky department for students so I think the wall was way out to be honest.

75 degree on the steps & 75 degree on the drill
