Right ... Just been nudged to set this up by Paul.M and sounds a good idea following recent threads I've done in the Arms..

Rules....No Offensive material... edit if required before posting as this is the public arena.
Anything to do with the trade or in and around it ...H&S pic's welcome.



I've posted this a few times and this is at a mates house following a kitchen refirb several yrs ago. mg_smile:

Wait is the pipe stat on the gas pipe?!

Well that’ll stop the gas from freezing

Well spotted that man. But I think others have. Was going to complain to the developers, but didn't wanna burst that apprentice bubble.

Lol at least the flex looks long, perhaps it will reach the correct pipe!

I think the correct pipe comes in the bottom of the boiler... so I think the flex will be long enough. (could be wrong, but thinking the 2 pipes in view are the flow and return)

Is there enough silicon where the wall meets the ceiling?

The pipe stat should be on tbe return, which is at the top of the boiler.

You should make the complaint, otherwise they may be installing them the same for any number of houses.
If the apprentice doesn't learn what they have done wrong then they will continue to do it wrong again and again, and probably teach the next person how to do it wrong.

See, I read "frost stat" and thought it should be on the incoming cold feed. The thermostat on the wall will be the frost stat, and the other will be the pipe stat.... clue is in the name, and youre right, should be on the return at the top

Exel switchfuse, apparently lights had been flickering and 3ph machines had been running with reduced power intermittently for months. We get called out as some of the electrics are not working at all and sparks are coming out of the bottom of this switch... Despite the months of warnings that something needed attention it is now an emergency and needs to be repaired immediately!

It doesn't look like much but the right hand yellow contact fork has almost completely eroded away from the arcing. The blue one wasn't far behind.

This one can be opened whilst switched on and is isolated from earth by the floating terminal.

How to repair a broken switch.

Nope, only long enough to reach the flow. Better than on the gas. Boiler being moved in due course, and I can’t be arsed to replace the flex. Only been troublesome in this recent cold weather.

You right of course, I had other problems with the wiring up of the CH system, which I’ve posted about.

Guess one day, he will realise his mistake; probably more embarrassed then, when he won’t have opportunity to rectify it; more learnt that way perhaps.

Those pyros aren't brilliant.....but a darn site better than the fp200's
...and get that earth clamp at the top left. What's that doing?

Similar, but a little bit worse, maybe. Sizzled for a fair while, for sure

I forget what was hanging from this nail, but one thing I am sure of is that there was no need for it to be nailed through the trunking to the light switch.

Another couple of smacks and it'll cover that hole......

Another nice junction in the loft above a newly installed Ensuite in an extension, wiring taken care of by the Builder's "electrician".

I like the strain relief, so when someone trips over the cables on the loft floor, the Wagos will keep the cables in place.

Cables are secured, just, not a problem then, no bare copper showing, on a combustible surface though, still seen worse.
