Friday night jobs

I wouldn't trust a plumber to be able to disconnect anything and re-connect safely, that would be my answer.

i'd go as far as to say i woudln't trust a plumber to turn a tap on.

Last job of the day 8 O'Clock tonight. Replace immersion element. Shut off water main, remove old element, water everywhere!!! Turns out that the stop cock does not shut off the fu***ng water. Hall soaked, I'm soaked. Just hope the wooden flooring am doesn't start to warp when it dries out. Dried off, cold beer and Chinese on the way!!!

Aye .... it's never a good idea to assume that the stop cock shuts off properly. That's why we do something that's the plumber's equivalent to the sparky's Safe Isolation Test!! :biggrin5:

Obviously I sympathise with you; I've had the odd panic moment with water.

However, why would you not drain down to below the level of the immersion heater boss, or at least open a hot tap to check that the inlet was shut off?

The plumber's Safe Isolation Test. :laugh:
