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.

 

[Jollysoutherner]

Talking of condensate pipes...

No need to install flue with correct fall just install a CCD. (condensate capture device)

 

[Whyme]

its showing blurry on my screen..is that a bucket on the flue??

 

[Jollysoutherner]

Will try uploading from PC. Think problem is tapatalk upload.

It is bucket, speed fit, minimal clips into drain pipe

Just when you think you've seen it all :lol:

 

[Ermintrude]

I defo did a tightness test! And I didn't leave pipes lite that, it takes lots of work to get pipes like that, a highly skilled coppersmith would struggle to re create.

 

[TomLane]

All rads in the house were like this!!

In the same house in the bathroom, cust complaining tiles were cracking!!

Furthermore, basin draining slowly in other bathroom.

Pushfit waste running uphill!

All work done by a supposed "qualified" handyman. Whatever one of them is!!

That's one apprentice who wishes he'd never downloaded the Qibla Locator App to his phone!

 

[Mike Jackson]

First call this morning. Could see the fumes coming in the window. Flue is an old Worcester one but boiler is only a couple of years old. There is a balcony above as well. IDed it and going back tomorrow to put a new flue and plume kit on.

 

[Roger Welton]

Keeping pipe work on display to a minimum

 

[Ermintrude]

Vent is also a sludge trap / doc?

i found one like that when I worked at the council.

No one had ever changed the earth pins and the insulation had fell onto the burner causing the flame to burn through the heat exchanger.

I found it on a service, the boiler had been working fine and the tenant hadn't reported a breakdown or anything.

God knows how long it had been like that for.

dont know if you find the same tom,admittedly its mainly icos i see so not as stressed as a isar,but if its stripped down every year and the ionization probes or pins are checked for condition and correct location they dont need changing obviously different story if there damaged that goes for insulation as well if its cracked new expensive one piece affair required

 

[IDCHAPPY]

Poor old Isar :lol:

 

[Jollysoutherner]

Regs, who needs them.

 

[Alanc]

Is that the pumped macerator waste passing the expansion?

 

[Jollysoutherner]

Yep, plus cleaners sink and a washing machine connected.

 

[rpm]

Poor little Sanivite!

(The vite isn`t a macerator because being only a water pump is hasn`t got the blades)
