CONCERN AROUND PLUMBING METHOD

[Danny Smith]

Hi, my bathroom fitters installed this plastic pipe as a feed to the new radiator, i'm slight concerned because it is bent over the wooden beam and at a strange angle. We're having a tiled floor so i'd hate for a leak and have to rip up the tiles. Can anyone advise whether this should be cause for concern?

Thanks,

Nobody going to mention the lack of lagging on the pipes in the wall either?

The tail on the left is fine, I’d have the tail a bit longer so that the pushfit elbow isn’t pressed up against the floor.
The tail on the right, again lower into the void and then that pipe going through the centre of joist.
But honestly what’s been done is perfectly acceptable.

It passes as acceptable to modern thinking, but it is basically as quick and nasty and least skilled job done.
I would always take the extra time needed to install soldered copper, which sometimes is only a couple extra minutes.
Removing water from existing pipes and draining/refilling is the only costly time, but often still needed when using push fit
