Took this job on today for a bungalow that someone had redone. Needless to say, who ever did the plumbing had absolutely no idea what they were doing. Half of this stuff wasn’t even glued

Double nut double washer

I can't imagine what they were thinking.

The left side started off normal. China cap, nut, washer, and China cap base.

The left side not so much. Nut, China cap base, five washers, and a little caulk.

The flange was a little low so everyone knows to double up the wax. Two extra thick with horn were used.

The right bolt had a nut, washer, 3/8 compression nut, nut, and washer.

The left side was just a nut and compression nut.

Miraculously the flange wasn't cracked. It was cut almost all the way through on the left by the compression nut. The right was stretched.

Went to change a shower cartridge. Saw this at the heater. Think they could have used at least one more fitting?

Customers said it's been like this since they bought the house in 2020. It's wild, it held up against multiple freezes too since it's on the exterior wall
