HALL of SHAME PHOTo`s

[Barry98]

I know we all come across them but thought we could stick them all in one thread for everyone to see.

my first of many , was in a church hall and this was someones idea of capping the gas off.

 

[Whyme]

Yes madam I need to tomo be the fly screen from your vent that has been there for 17 years....and no madam this little hole is not enough ventilation for your back boiler!!

or sleeved.

 

[Dusty23]

Soldered on brass tap , apparently saves on olives !

 

[Ermintrude]

Seen lots of tees like that .

 

[Ermintrude]

Went to look at replacing a twin pump head. 415 supply rubbed by gas supply in new build. Sheath 50% warn through.

Wrong test nipple in meter

how many of you would service this? Ideal Concord installed in 1977, been there 3 hours today, cleaned all, plus replaced case seal and pump, but not giving it much longer. Looked like chimney sweep afterwards, bloody thing

Ah, memories! Had two floor standing unit heaters in a factory unit once, place had been empty for some years and new occupiers had got units running but were complaining about smells. Didn't know when they'd last been serviced either (reckon they'd just gone in and switched them on). Turns out chimney terminal had gone from one and heat exchanger had rotted out so fumes were going straight back into the unit. Shut it off and cleaned up the other one and sorted it out but it was on borrowed time!

[Robert Tyrrell]

I don't think my wife would agree to that. Especially after the Froday night Genius session.

Can you fit my hob he said .... It's a easy strait swap he said .....

 

[Alanc]

Is the bent iron fitted straight onto the balofix

 

[P J F PLUMBING]

It's a gas fire restricter elbow botched into a ballafix

 

[Resolute]

Is the balofix a gas fitting?

 

[P J F PLUMBING]

Looks like he used whatever shyte he found in the bottom of a fittings box

 

[P J F PLUMBING]

[IDCHAPPY]

Looks like it's not venting to an external place...

Man alive, that's a shocking display Tom bodgery.......he's burned the wallpaper!

 

[rpm]

With all the room available why put it over the lid that I need to remove? Not to mention using an olive compression fitting on white waste overflow pipe.

He used brass 22mm compression fitting on 21.5mm plastic which goes up in to loft and is full of water, then added the drain off right next door to the fused spur.

 

[Dave Walker]

Not sure if they were trying to save some money on copper or what

 

[IDCHAPPY]

No way...surely?? :lol:

 

[Reg Man]

More worrying parallel thread on ballafix on to parallel iron fitting, or is it just the ballafix, or is it a candidate for hall of shame and RIDDOR reportable offence, what ever.

 

[stevetheplumber]

Not sure if they were trying to save some money on copper or what

if they had piped it tboe it would have vented its self

 

[Whyme]

thats screaming out for a fan to be bolted to the wall above it, diy blower. oh yeah.

 

[Riley]

Ingenious use of an old boiler flue to run an extractor fan. Approx 4 metres straight up to peak of roof. Funnily enough it doesn't work

 

[Riley]

Same roof they have re routed the soil pipe by means of a dryer hose around some botched loft flooring. Very little to support it and they can't understand why the flashings moved and they now have a serious leak.
