Nice Little Project

See the multitude of issues with this badboy? It wasn't my install.







Basically filled the cylinder and nearly everything leaked.

I've got to replumb it tomorrow ... I'm looking forward to it!!

someone cant solder and is that a blending valve on the cold in?

It's a blending valve on the gravity cold in when it should be on mains and not capped off..

A bit of lagging hides most sins.

at least he tried to solder!

My solderings no better so I keep my opinions to myself lol

 

[jaydebruyne]

Actually, at least I wipe my flux off haha

tbh it would be better if he didnt try, but i will give him probs least its not push fit

thats one of my pet hates and if the solder runs use a file

So here is my refit pipework... (Shaun, no comments in the soldering lol)
Took me all bloody day as was paranoid about my joints so went over some of them twice if I saw the slightest gap.. also had to drain down and repair his leaks, remove immersion etc..

But I'm quite pleased with my work. Most importantly, no leaks! I think I'm improving .. or maybe I'll wait to hear the abuse first before I get too happy lol

[ShaunCorbs]

[Atouchofgas]

Good job mate, just be careful that cylinder lagging doesn't take much to burn and discolour! But that's being hard on you mate:90:

Don't be too hard on yourself mate it's easily done and I've seen plenty worse burns!! Good work though Jay.

 

[Rckape]

Cheers everyone, I'm quite proud of it. Had I been given this job 6 months ago I'd have called in sick [emoji14]
