Sounds like my brother in law, all his plumbing comes with a built in water feature at no extra cost.you can always tell my plumbing efforts by the puddles of water under each joint
This all looks tidy I appreciate the priorities are probably cost and speed of installation but one of my pet peeves with our heating system is the difficulty of changing the motorised valves
In our system, which is also tidy, I regularly (3 times in 20 years) have to change one or more of the set of motorised valves. I always struggle to get them out and end up loosening joints in both directions and invariably getting water everywhere and getting the joints water tight again is always fun
I appreciate you can just change the heads but there is usually signs of leakage when I remove the heads and therefore end up changing the complete valves.
Compression joints are handy if you ever have to change any bits, I used a combination of soldered and compression joints on my thermal store install so in theory you can drain down the system and remove the store if required without having to cut any pipework.Good to see neat solder on copper pipes rather than all the compression joints and plastic rubbish. Hoping for something similar here when I re-route the heating next year. I've been practising.
Looks great but dare I say something
With the pipes done how they are at the front it restricts access.
Nice job, do you only use a particular brand of gate valves? i think every one i have ever come across in a domestic environment is just for decoration as they never want to fully shut off or just spin without doing anything.
Nice job. Bit too end feedy for me tho.
no point if they are cleaned and fluxed properly still get the capillary actionDespite being a Yorkshireman I won’t pay for Yorkshire fittings
Is it two storey....if so what underfloor method is used upstairs, Im currently looking into options?
Looks like you have done a great job there Kayos...nice to see a good traditional looking plumbing install these daysUnderfloor was subbed out before I arrived but I believe they use trays between the joists to support the pipes
