Changing an economy 7 cylinder, ripped out fitted new started to fill up until I hear water running...... Quickly isolate to find I hadn't put a blank in the 1inch tapping at the back. Oh no!drained pull cylinder out cap tapping and refill. Tried to clean up everything before custard came home but she noticed £50 off the bill! Woops

I done the same ,, but did not knock no money off ., as no one home

Lol ha some great ones. I know someone that somehow piped a cold water main into a gas main and pumped water into the gas meter. Woops.

Only hand tightened a compression join on a heating system, meaning to go back and tighten at a later date only to forget. Started to fill the heating system on a combi when I could hear the sound of running water!

Luckily the customer wasn't in and I was able to clear up all the mess before they got home!

Also cut into a central heating pipe, system wasn't fully drained and sent a load of water into a customers ceiling. Luckily it was clear water and dried out with no marks!

a mentor pushed me out of way so he could do the flow which he tee'd into the gas pipe i found it funnier than him. I removed a rad valve to drain a sealed system on another job without thinking couldnt get bloody thing back on.

I heard of someone run cold into gas.

One of my worst very early on was meant to cut into cold mains pipe to repair, cut live gas by accident. Sheet my pants was one of my first ever jobs on me own

 

[garyplumb]

Went to tighten up some loose bath taps, they didn't have top hat washers, so removed tap connectors and fitted the top hats but didn't reconnect the tap connectors before turning the water on.
