I don't know, I think I would have put one more in to get it just right.

Multi Multi Multiple quick job.

 

[Reg Man]

Forgot I took this with my phone a few weeks back. This is a British Gas install. The PRV goes UP into the loft then siliconed into the stack, with the condensate pump outlet nearby doing the same.

No pipes insulated, nail in pipe clips, shoddy work all round.

Shocking, See how BG have moved forward in improving their business. This is a total embarrassment.

Amazes me how many installers think condensate can defy gravity.....

What boilers that?

 

[Whyme]

What boilers that?

probably a grant.

 

[Bunker]

What boilers that?

Yup, as above, a Grant. The condensate is on the left but its very easy to do it properly.
Most installers run the oil line under the burner too which makes it a laugh to fit the burner.
We ought to start a thread from service engineers to installers!

Tidy

That's outrageous, that green bin doesn't go with anything.......

Are those to minimise expansion?

 

[Ermintrude]

Foot spa.

 

[Bunker]

After servicing the boiler, I was asked if I would repair the leaks on the soldered and compression joints on the cylinder. i suggested that i would but would also want to take it out and start again. How many fails can you see....

you gotta allow for expansion!

 

[Destroyer2813]

you gotta allow for expansion!

What for the other two pipes that be in that notch also

 

[Leo21]

At least there straight.

 

[voivod]

think it was for future pipe use...

 

[voivod]

is scary ....how the hell do people sleep after doing that????
unvented cylinders and stoopid people...do they never read the instructions????

 

[Bunker]

Maybe it was for an alarm cable?

;-)

 

[Ermintrude]

;-)

Clearly not. Cables and especially alarm cables have to be wrapped around pipes to keep warm. They would be too far from pipes to stay warm.

Yes of course, my bad.

there not grey pubes all over that stereo are they?

 

[IND_Nick]

Saw this today while plumbing in a washing machine, not sure how he calculated the high and low vent sizes?

 

[Whyme]

christ. how bigs the boiler..like how he broke up the white with a splash of silver..

 

[ManchesterGas]

I bet there was no high vent either, would be very hot at the top wouldn't it , nearly as hot as this beauty from yesterday
