Found this today, bunch of 10mm singles "crimped" using copper pipe. Second image is of a mouse I found when doing a consumer unit change earlier this year. Just a reminder to you all that lives can be saved by simply sleeving the full length of the cpc and not having excessive copper showing at terminations :juggle2:

 

[benji]

My mate uncovered this last week. Had to dig it out of a rendered wall after a good few hours fault finding. Probably fitted with the kitchen 10 years ago by all accounts. Apparently the breaker had only ever tripped the once in ten years, hmmmmm.

Don't know why it come out that way round.... Trunking looks :001_9898: Doesn't it?

 

[Andy78]

compliments the black nickel nicely

Nothing like a bit of good planning, eh..looks like they finished the kitchen and then thought about a boiler.
Trunking's complementing the pipework.

 

[Darkwood]

You are kidding me!!!

 

[davesparks]

It looks awful

But, if you are wiring the replacement boiler, and need to get a cable from the switchfuse and the programmer to the boiler how else would you do it?

I'm speaking as someone who has had to do similar due to lack of available time/spare tiles/budget

 

[Leesparkykent]

You are kidding me!!!

condense and gas are just as bad lol

Edit: note the condense even runs uphill haha

Presumably the boiler was on the left originally?

Is there any bracket holding that flue?

no bracket holding the flue...yeah boilers been swung round for some reason and flue is proud of the front of the cupboards so can't have a decent looking cupboard to cover it up.

 

[davesparks]

I think you'll find that flue is non compliant then!
Presumably it was moved so that it can be fitted into a cupboard, but the plumber couldn't be bothered to drill a new hole got the flue so used the old one!
