not the best way to learn to do a job to be honest.

it should only be there to support learning not replace i. my fear is steve that people think this is enough

 

[PlumbBobBob]

it's just that the importance that people put on these scenarios. it's not like this in the real world at all. the stopcocks are not all in the same place for instance. even in the same row of houses the plumbing will most probably be different having been worked on over the years.

stop cocks only work for the first 12months after installation. then they are there just to confuse you or to be a divide between bleech and shoe polish in the sink cupboard

Hi This is what you need to do to complete S1.

1) Go to Loft, remove lid from cold water tank, isolate water supply, switch to bathroom turn on hot water tap, switch back to loft replace float. Inspect 4 items in the loft. Replace lid(s) back on tanks.
2) Switch to Bathroom turn off hot water tap. Inspect 6 items.
3) Switch to Cloakroom Inspect 4 items.
4) Switch to Kitchen Inspect 5 items here, Before inspecting all 5 items you need to open the draincock, freeze the pipe under the main stopcock get the main stopcock replaced, close the draincock, unfreeze the pipe and thats scenario 1 done.

Remember in order to replace the main stopcock the issue in the loft needs to be resolved first.

If you need further help with scenario 1 or any other scenario let me know.

Hey all

Same here im stuck on scenario 3 on the soundness check...judging by the dates on the last posts to this thread you guys should be qualified by now?? how did you get on?? Ive mamnaged to do everything correct apart frm attempting a cold and hot water soundness check... as for scenario 2 you literally need to click on everything to do with both the hot and cold water system and turn all isolation valves off and back on again also turn off the immersion heater as its a waste of energy (only needs be on for baths) and adjust the temp on the thermopstat which is erroneously set to 90oc back to the coprrect temp of 60 oc ..all hot taps must be 60oc and cold taps i think are 20oc...

and help is appreciated with the soundness checks.. train for Trade skills plumbers course material

Turn the water on. If it is running through the ceiling the client will be onto claims direct.
