We've had flexis banned, everything got to be riggid pipe work,they are saying legeneller can build up in the rubber!even the merchant s have been told not to let us have any... Twats in shirts and ties again 😏 Time for a new job mate  Flexi's are used all other the world, lots of plumbing appliances have rubber hoses and flexi's in them. |

Probably being daft as usual but doesn't rigid pipework to the taps include a tap connector which seals with a rubber washer? Or are they talking about pex pipe ?  |

This was one of them jobs where everything is against you, needed 2 hosepipes to get outside, white carpets everywhere, extra dust sheets, drain off seized, severe air locks when refilling.👹 You know ,either to walk away ,or go large on price , so if you get the job at decent price, sleeves up time💪
Had one of those the other day. Had to change an aav on the primaries where they enter side of hw cylinder. Thought just quick bung of the F&E, remove old aav, fit new one. For some reason, vacuum wouldn't hold for love nor money. Soon as I started loosening old aav, water was flowing out.
So, plan B. Drain down to just below level off aav and swap. Drained some water out drain off, then found it wouldn't seal. Had to let all the water out to change washer in drain off. Luckily it was an old house with drain off under a trap in downstairs floor and only earth below to soak up some of the spillage. Then refill and almost couple of hours sorting out the air locks. It was a big house with lots of rads. Customer had only recently added some bottles of inhibitor to system, so wasn't too happy that it was all drained away.
Fecking plumbing!

Thanks, Glowbug. Saw that vid. Don't know why vacuum wouldn't hold. The outlet from F&E didn't have lugs in it, so my bung should have been fine. Water was still coming out 20 mins later, so I gave up as it wasn't holding. Though when I came to take bungs out, I pulled the vent one out first and there was a sucking air type noise. Like a bit of pressure being released. Right pain. |

Jack of all trades & master of none, failed Plumber speaks volumes, he didn’t have the brains for Plumbing!! Anyone can join some pipe but as with anything, the devil is in the detail. There is a difference between doing something and doing it well, for example there is no skill in connecting a flexi but a good plumber would know where you should and shouldn`t use them and the reasons and regulations behind them... Monoblocs are allowed to come with and be fitted with flexis because they are wras approved/kitemarked meaning they have been tested to ensure the rubber surface is smooth to inhibit the formation of a bio film, and also that they are of a material which does not leach toxins or chemicals/nutrients that will promote microbial life. Washing machine hoses don't supply potable water so don't have the same regulation. |
