thats terrible mess, who spoilt it with that piece of copper just dont look right......
He didnt pressure test it then?
Another classic case of installers ignoring the manufacturers installation recommendations. 15mm plastic should be clipped every 300mm. There is no excuse for that tee blowing off as the pipes could easily have been clipped to the joists.
When plastic is done properly, it is quite time consuming and expensive what with clips every 300mm, inserts in every fitting and the cost of the fittings themselves. Copper and soldered fittings are just about on a par with the cost of plastic.
Incorrect installation is what gives plastic such a bad name.
You don't have a fire hazard, but do have the problem of rodents eating it and flooding the building. I've seen this several times.I wouldnt say its as time consuming as copper , the big bonus of plastic is you dont have a fire hazard so dont have to lug around fire extinguisher nor sit around an hour after soldering (in theory)
