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:

Both the work of the same in-DERR-vi-"jewell"

First note element top right corner. Told it had to be this way as c/h pipes use bottom. Probably expected me to sellotape a longer flex to reach the plate below... Told client to buy him a duel entry fitment and call me back. 600w element, probably a scald risk as the thermostat sits at the end of the element and it won't convect...

Second one, apparently it "had to be done like this due to how the pipes exit the wall"

Leads that have worked for years (1st picture) replaced by something that lasted less than 6 months

I'm letting some of these go but can we keep this to dodgy electrical pics.

New build? With exposed plumbing running around the room just below ceiling level?

Fairly new build. Was in a plant room from the boiler on the left of the door to the hot water cylinder on the right.

It could have been a change in boiler where the F and R are on different sides?? Who knows.


I was there trying to repair a Nest thermostat… (turn it off, turn it back on, job done)…. And the wiring centre had a couple of 4 core flexes where 5 core would have been more suitable…

Should we call it intermediate piping?

When a plumber completes a heating installation in a new build, then realises he’s got the flow and return the wrong way round….

I tend to most enjoy picutres of situations members have stumbled across, rather than images lifted at random from the internet.

Gas pipe underneath hob

Not great. At least the gas valve there is turned off.

At least it HAS a gas valve. A few years ago in our rental flat the hob developed a leak. No gas valve, so had to pay someone to come in and disconnect it temporarily while I bought a new one, then pay them to come back and fit the new one. Asked if he could fit a valve and told no, no room for it (which to be fair was probably correct without pulling units out to alter the pipework.

Looks like it got 'HOT' just as it says on the tin!

What the actual **** is going on here?



I’ll show you more later.

Is the plug supplying the FCU? What's the FCU connected to?

 

[littlespark]

Next image….



The plug flex goes into the fcu, supplying it backwards… then buried t&e up to this lightswitch.
Up the wall, the left turn and buried in the plaster around the edge corner of the chimney breast to feed the spotlights.

Guess where the rawlplug is holding the spotlights up.


All this has been stripped out. But I’ve discovering more and more strange things in this flat.

At least the FCU wasn't supplying the socket!
