That fitting cracked? Least it blew on test and not after plastering and painting.

 

[starbs]

No it's not, it is paint.. For some reason they like to paint everything

Had a text at 07.30 from Deputy at a school, leak..... Thought it was going to be the asbestos lagged 4" iron in voids as it's getting on a bit. ..... No it was the lead before the meter. What's that u say lead on drinking water in a school? Surely not?

Look at the cut in it though, that's been dragged over a nail.

I don't think it was a nail, just been compressed by the looks of it.. Just had a split in it

 

[Robert Tyrrell]

Looking at the pic, it definitely looks as though it's been compressed rather than dragged over a nail, or caught with a plasters stanley knife, which I have seen once or twice

I've seen quite a few hep2o elbows split like that, if you yank them around to much it can cause them to split.

Never seen that before, what do you reckon compressed that?

Pushing your luck there mate, if they give you coffee as well it's like admitting blame!

I had someone put up a mini scaffold tower with one of the legs on a bit of polyplumb 15mm pipe running across the floor, that split the pipe.

Please don't use the word "retard" it's not polite. Just use "pork chop"
