Soldered Compression joint etc.

[P M ROACH]

Dented gas pipe; outflow support; soldered compression joint for water to shower. Thoughts please ...... How serious is this?

 

[Dannypipe]

Thoughts!?

Looks like a pigs ear of a job!

 

[Barry98]

Looks like a wind up

 

[RGII79]

Top notch lol

 

[RGII79]

Thats the polish plumber off youtube

 

[Dannypipe]

Possibly he wanted the scrap money for the nuts!!

 

[Gmaservices]

Perhaps he ran out of olives.

 

[Dannypipe]

No, he wanted the scrap money on them too. What a tight git.

 

[PlumbBobBob]

not good quality work there

 

[bear82]

Unbelievable!! scarilly bad work especially the gas pipe!!!

 

[Dannypipe]

Can I ask the OP. How have you come across this? Has there been a problem, or was it just in the course of doing something?

 

[Leo21]

Must've took him longer than doing it the right way.

 

[AWheating]

looks like the rig set up at a training college, you know the one...... spot the fitting that is safe.

 

[Glenwils]

Can't see any problems there...

 

[Guest123]

Shocking. Looks like Flexible Frank's doing a home job.

 

[TomLane]

Incredible! Top marks for effort..... but just not necessarily the right sort of effort!

 

[TBServices]

Is this in your own home op? Get the lot ripped out lol

 

[P M ROACH]

Thanks for your thoughts.

All as fitted in new build. I am owner & DIY only simple job plumber. This not my work. Never seen this sort of thing before. Trade fitter said each thing OK and jointing method is improved system.

 

[plumberdave1066]

INGENIOUS !! I wonder if he can do van brake repairs and at what price?????????

 

[hunterseye]

I'm a newbie and i'd be embarrased to call that my own work.:clown:

Trade fitter = professional waffler

It would be worth having those eyesores uke: that you have identified replaced to save yourself some heartache in the future & if the same chimp did the gas pipework I'd get that checked while I was at it.

Crikey, well Ive now learnt you can solder a an eqaul T and an elbow, this forum is just a mine of information lol.

 

[P M ROACH]

Can't see any problems there...

Thanks. Not to be dense, but am I right that the comment is ironic? I am trying to list the issues that are visible in the photos. Appreciate your time. PMR

Its ironic !

 

[Paulus]

Its ironic !

No it's not, it's copper and brass all put together in a dog's dinner.

 

[ne1ls0n]

its a micky take, thats what that is, i someone came into my home and done that there arse would be out the door before his tee was cold.

 

[leakeee]

compression fitting has to be a joke! i would love to see what the boiler and cylinder look like..........

 

[Guest123]

There are special brass fittings that are DESIGNED to be soldered to copper. Your compression fittings are not, and go against manufacturers installation instructions. A wee quick letter to the manufacturers of that compression joint with a photo of that soldered joint will get you a reply to give you some ammunition in getting it all ripped out and replaced. Try contacting Yorkshire Kuterlite and please post their reply on here, should be most interesting!

Like it use of a plumbing fitting in a quote " tee was cold " that's good lol

the gas pipe is showing signs of damage, there is a risk of early failure.
how to classify that it is down to the judgement of the gas engineer.
there are a couple of issues
1 - the damage, has the pipe been weakened is it therefore more likely to fail?
2 - the pipe is now smaller, will sufficient gas flow through it?
has the same person done the gas as well as the water pipes?? HOPE NOT!
personally I would be recommending the section of gas pipe that is dented to be replaced

just looked at the picture again, gas pipe clipped directly onto blockwork!
the complete installation needs checking
