If pipework is clipped properly it's not possible to lift off the brackets. I've tried in my house on the back of this convo and not a one of my 8 rads will lift because the pipework is all clipped down properly. I would have to turn off the water and then completely disconnect the valves to get it off, by which time my floor is soaked.
Someone reckons apparently that properly clipped down pipework is the sign of a rubbish installation though so maybe my installation is just crap.
I the pipes come out of a screeded floor, they should have thick walled insulation around them, and there should be enough compliance in this to allow the to be lifted off.
Sounds like CamoElectric's installation is a retrofitted one, with surface mounted pipework. Even then, there shouldn't be clips so close t the radiator that it's unable to be lifted slightly. Too many clips, and clips in the wrong place, stress the pipework.

Was fault finding why the 63A MCB for some sports pitch lights was randomly tripping. Opened the DB and saw this. How many defects can you find?!

I like the 'on' arrows.....when the breaker tells you anyway.
Although it may be 'Oz'..... Never never land.
I saw the word 'morons' quoted on another thread, earlier. More relevant here, I would say. Just bad work done by someone ignorant of requirements.
A great factor, initiated by M Gerin is the individual MCB isolation, when it's used correctly.

Do those bus-bar screw covers actually cut power as the on/off says? If so a couple are half-way!
Not to mention that unused ons that should be in the off position...

Called out to replace a faulty 2gang switch. Managed to get to the supply in the dark under the stairs but it took a few moments to fathom out where to isolate the lighting circuit. Built in 1965, original wiring, with various additions, of course.
Oh Yes, there it is........

Would you bother looking for fuses in that scenario or just turn off the DP main isolation ?
That's what I tend to do if posssible

If you look at the main switch, that's what I did.
It just needed a bit of looking at....no labelling....and it does tend to help knowing what's what.
Could have been fed from a 60amp fuse, for all I knew.
Yes I see that now
I was just wondering what your approach was
I usually just go for the main isolation in unknown installations where possible .
