Heating pipes mounted but not supported by wall clamps

Platyfy

I have a new build and the plumber just installed a complex piping network for my heat pump-based heating system. Although the piping looks very neat, I noticed that not a single copper pipe is supported by wall brackets, the entire system (including pumps!), which comes off a PEX pipe, is supported by the control unit. Most pipes are at least 1m long.

I think all pipes should be supported by pipe mounts at least every xx cm. Is anyone aware of the S.R. 50 Series: Standards for Modern Heating and Plumbing, and is there anywhere mentioned therein how pipework has to be mounted/supported; or can anyone advise me on this? Photo below.

Many thanks!

In fairness, that's a work of art, so on the basis of artistic merit I don't think it deserves to have pipe-clips installed. 😂

...but in reality the pipes are supposed to be supported and clipped to the wall and the install should have good quality insulation installed and taped too. But as to your question around the regs - I don't know that answer.

I see the screw is also the load bearing point for the pipe below it due to the cable tie :)

Well observed sir! I added that to the snag list.

The mandated structural cable-tie. 🤣
