[Ermintrude]

[LPC]

Not my problem. I reported it, so have 2 other people. I guess it'll get changed when that governor finally snaps off and starts chucking out gas.

[Whyme]

Resolute hit the nail i think. That could well have been a crafty (no off road parking) on the builders part and gas connected before tarmac..If not somebody needs seriously shafting. Like ya say what more can you do than report it. Apart from get somebody to ring and say they think they can smell gas ?..It's a top pic btw.

Funny enough (not really funny) I have just been sitting in safety meeting on my fist day with a few photos of exactly the same thing, gable end installations they call them. Not very clever if its a driveway.

 

[Ermintrude]

You still here?

 

[solutions]

Should have been a cavity wall box from get go. The in ground ones are just $hiyte

 

[stevetheplumber]

interesting phone conversation to ha plumbing company this morningbasically explaining that who ever fitted the pump should be arrested for impersonating a plumber and taking money under false pretences

 

[stevetheplumber]

if the wire is to short no point wasting any on the extention wouldnt want to bring it in through the clamps and right place

 

[mountainman]

Sludge! What sludge?

 

[Toxic Ted]

This one cheered me up no end in Hayes Middx.........after finding two properties fed by one water meter the neighbours rental seems to have the cold feed to the electric shower runs external.

 

[Riley]

That's truly brilliant

 

[Koogatubac]

Hmm nice contamination...

 

[plumben]

Went to meet landlord at on of his propertys where about to do up for him bad dry rot outbreak in the middle of the house, just had a quick look at system, full new system going in but some of the bodges in this house... more to come im sure when there uncoverd!


F&E supported by a few paint tins, and rammed right up tight against roof
no need for clips the warning pipe can just run up hill,
cylinders got a good 250mm befor the vent which then runs about 10meters to the next loft with service valves used as cupplings didnt get a picture yet,
and the boilers recently been serviced with no faults ill upload a picture on monday

 

[happyflyer]

Hey guys you are not supposed to drink the hot water, a bit of black sludge give you a nice tan under the shower.

 

[happyflyer]

Leave it to settle it will clear

 

[Sparkgap]

Had a property many years ago with two supplies, one MP at the front, one LP at the rear. Meter at the front was half buried in the tarmac (no box), old supply at the rear which came across the fields had no meter but was still live to the valve and service pipe was only about 3" below ground. Builder was trying to lay new paths and wanted old service pipe disconnected so phoned up supplier and was told to apply for disconnection (about 6 weeks!!!). Old gas pipe very rusty and not surprisingly found that it was leaking (once given a couple of taps with a spade). Called it in as a leak and 2 hours later it was all disconn'd and everybody happy :grin:

 

[Ermintrude]

A timer fault I was expecting. A £12k bill he expecting now!

Wasn't aware of this option with keston!

You do get all the good ones guy, what a mess eh

 

[Ermintrude]

So went on a "possible stat" fault. Left with a capped off and fecked off. Keston c25!!!! Heating about 50,000 sq foot. He's now going to be looking about £12k

Latest flue options from keston

Yes through chimney and out of asbestos terminal. At a guess 25m effective length and cannot locate air intake at all.

 

[kris]

It is a cracker,

 

[newcastle phill]

Lovely that

 

[Ray Stafford]

Quality just shines through.

 

[AlexGas]

A customer complained about some rads would come on when there’s HW demand. I wonder way!? And it’s not a by-bass going through the floor.

 

[Irish]

Love the ptfe on the outside of the thread on the 3 port valve, decorator put serious effort in with the aluminium paint though

 

[plumben]

Anouther quality install,

9mm chip board and nylon rope

from the same house as post #2172 with the f&e on paint tins,

 

[happyflyer]

What's wrong with that the owner can take it when they move out

 

[kay-jay]

Came across this beauty this week.

Lovely use of plastic pipe too, not an elbow in sight. But at least he clipped the pipes..........

 

[happyflyer]

Kay,

You didn't need to put the level on we can see, push fit plumbers, where will it end,

 

[plumben]

It amazes me that some people can call them selves professionals, it even stats on most boiler plan that the flue should run uphill

 

[happyflyer]

Does this mean you need soak a way where the condenser drip off the flue,what is the unit in the photo???

 

[kay-jay]

'Twas a heatline.

 

[Mike Jackson]

Nice hob installation, the oven was touching the hose.

[Mike Jackson]

Recent unvented installation by a large, well known, national company.

What's that I see between the inlet controls and the cylinder.

IMG_20140902_094359083 by Mike Jackson1, on Flickr

Oh yes it's an isolating valve. Apart from being very restrictive should it be closed it will isolate the cylinder from the expansion vessel and expansion valve. kaboom.

[chris watkins]

[happyflyer]

[Chalked]

Flue under grating!!

 

[galaxy_plumbing]

shocking!

 

[Chris F]

Went to a leaky toilet just. Take your pick of where the leak was.

 

[rpm]

Gotta be a Sunday morning diyer lol

 

[Ermintrude]

I always use hacksaw to cut gas so that pressure losses as low as possible. Perhaps this nugget should just use a slice. Compression under bedroom floor 2mb drop. New carcas any way.

 

[IDCHAPPY]

Was it at the pan connector

 

[Chris F]

Was it at the pan connector

Hahaha strangely enough. I should have took a picture of the lovely bath they had filled with wet crisps. Place was shocking.

 

[Ermintrude]

This is mutleys previous attempts at flues above first floor. Strange how he's been doing cp12 for last 7 years...... Sellotape, paper and some prolly fills on inside .
