Evening all,
Came across a Alfrestern (or something like) water heater and pressure vessel where the prv exit pipe was solvent weld 21.5mm and ran to a toilet cistern with an internal overflow into the pan and into the Saniflo behind. The pipe was just hanging over the cistern.

Comments please right / wrong and why?

:D how many liters in the water heater rpm

Wouldn`t have a clue Shaun, it was about 15ft up in the air and I couldn`t see any label.

I`d take a guess it was about 20" tall x 18" wide and 15" deep and the pressure vessel was White maybe 20" tall and 13" wide if that helps.

Cheers Shaun, it`s a brand new refurb in a large café / bar and based on the little I saw today the guys must of arrived on horse`s !

Toilet cisterns hanging off the wall behind super doper glittering panels, plastic push-fit pipe unclipped going all over the place and worse.

Feel sorry for anyone sitting on the toilet when the prv lets go. lol

That is worrying as it`s a disabled toilet cubicle but the thing is next door in an office and the pipe goes through the wall to the cistern.

All I could do was raise it with the owner as I`m only there to fix the flippin Saniflo.
Does prove I`ve learnt some things here though. lol

:D did they listen?

and something about an old dog and new tricks comes to mind ;D
 
Think so, think there is many issues wrong there as he said he has a different plumber taking a look next week. Think he`s in for a shock if this plumber is any good.

or a big bill :D
