Hello all,
I visited my elderly aunt on Friday who lives in a Greater London local authority sheltered housing block and I was very concerned at the installation of the radiator in the bathroom.
The left side valve has a 15mm feed going to it which I assume is for the heating but the right side (main picture) has a 15mm feed which is tee'd from the hot water supply to the basin.
This would indicate that central heating water can reach the basin and the hot water is therefore unsafe to use?
Apparently several of the flats in the block have been piped like this and a few residents are wondering why there is dark water coming out of their taps?
I am going to take it up with them but thought to ask here first to see if anyone would consider this acceptable?
Hope everyone had a Good Easter.
Regards
Swiflee
