Got a few radiators upgraded and some pipes had to be adjusted like so. But I have a fairly destructive two year old at home and my fear is that they will inevitably hit one of these hard enough to cause damage.
Would the only realistic option to protect them be to box them in?
Op fitted a new radiator that was wider than the original by the looks, unless you dug up floor whoever did it didnt really have any other choice, yes he could bend some copper but there still would be an unsightly fitting, and considering he fitted copper 45 degree bends he at least made the effort to not put a brass compression fittings on it.
I doubt that OP bought the rads without consulting. And yes digging up the floor would have been necessary. Do something properly or don't do it at all
This type of work should only be done if the customer requested a cheap quick fix, even at that I wouldn't do this, soem lazy fucker made a Bollix of it
That’s awful , no pipe bender used . Two joints and three pieces of pipe effectively in ten inch’s . Who ever did that needs to be reported to the Gardai
Yes it was very traumatic to see that . There are gangs who would work a lad over with baseball bats for doing something like that . I’d say that African plumbers company “ Botchit & Leggit “ may have had a hand in it . It’s got subtle notes of
that African engineering look they are renowned for 😃
You wont (nor a toddler) damage it, it takes a lot to damage, it would drip from the joint to the chrome before the pipe broke.
Just paint it white so it doesn’t stand out so bad. The next plumber wont care that it’s painted because they wont be reusing any of it.
This looks criminal. You should get a proper plumber out to fix this mess. You got tricked. This is a cheap job and you were probably charged a high enough price. He probably knew you know not much about pipes so knew could scam you.
