    Anyone think they are attached to a gas boiler? Looks like a gas pipe and wavin for the condensate, if that's what it is called.
    If so, hardly an RGI approved install.

    Yeah that's what it is, the white pipe is taped into the down pipe and the copper pipe goes straight down the wall and there's a cable in the also,

    quality bending, 90 degrees on the nose and what a radius!
    No need for the valve with this old school flow control!

    It was actually working for a period of time. Eventually failed because the MAINS :eek: pressure separated the junction between the inlet manifold and the pump base!

    I laughed when I saw the photos because of the lack of elbows but nearly choked on my coffee reading that its connected to the mains too! :D

    Whilst looking for a local oil boiler engineer on the internet I come across this Facebook page where the engineers had taken some photos of some call-outs they have been to. I couldnt help but share them on here. Hope you can see the photos OK - I know it sure made me laugh and shocked at the same time!! :eek:
