[ElectriciansForums.net] this really puts the plum in plumber. [ElectriciansForums.net] this really puts the plum in plumber.

went to a customer of mine today, she has just has a new boiler fitted. she phoned me as wasn't happy with the wiring the plumber had done connecting new boiler, programmer and wireless thermostat receiver to the existing y-plan wiring centre
he had also added the fused spur below the boiler as original heating system was plugged in to a switched socket.
what an absolute mess cables were clipped like washing lines across airing cupboard, cpc used as satisfied in cylinder stat , cpc used as ch on in programmer nothing sleeved up either to make it worse , 13 amp fuse in switched spur, existing 2.5 meb to gas and linked of this with a bit of 4mm to water. needless to say I ripped the lot out started from scratch and run in the new 10mm meb to gas and water and to top it off look at his gas pipe for the new boiler straight in front of the 2gang socket in the kitchen. The plumber had also issued a niceic domestic installer MWC for the work he done!!! looks like this scam will give any 1 a membership.

Did you cost 300 to install the wall socket? Why install it behind the pipe when space is at the side of the pipe? I think you cause trouble for customer making difficult to use the socket.

Lol, that was the funniest post I've seen in a while but I think you misunderstood the thread Jaris. The idiot plumber installed the pipe over the socket ;)

Eh? What has 7671 got to do with it?

7671 is non statutory, the gas regulations are law. Therefore the gas laws take precedence regardless of what the IET have to say.

No need to be aggressive now Dave. All I am trying to say is that all electricians might not be fully aware of all gas regulations. If a reciprocal reg was in 7671 then they would generally be aware. I don't think I said anything about the statutary status of anything?

That's not aggressive!

7671 has a reg which requires compliance with all other relevant standards and regulations.
If an electrician doesn't take the time to familiarise their self with such regulations then it is their funeral!

But an easy win for safety if 7671 is as reciprocal as possible. I don't see why you should rail against that?

Hoy, leave the plumbers forum alone. They have helped me these past few weeks and saved me over £300!! I now have a PF Admin doing my boiler works and passing jobs to me for his electrical works.
