40 grand kitchen!

[Mike]

I was shocked when I looked under the sink in a house I've been working in to see the mess of the plumbing. the push fit elbows are actually touching the socket! surely that won't pass building regs? also the fitters never bothered putting a shelf in the unit (probably due to the mess of the pipework) not what you'd expect to see in a 40 grand kitchen!

Show's a complete lack of care and attention if nothing else. Like you say, not what you'd expect after spending 40k!

2nd photo - it looks like there is no trap/siphon under the sink...

B&Q waste system too

John, is that a code-legal installation (the wastes plumbed under the sink)?

 

[faithhealer]

don't know if its legal Rob but definitely a cowboy job

 

[Rob Z]

John, it definately doesn't inspire confidence, does it?

The reason I ask is that I have learned on this site that you have different code requirements for traps, groundworks and so forth, and it seemed to me that this thing we're seeing here is looking too ugly to be legal, even though I know we have differences us/uk plumbing regs.

oh dear!

Cant tell from those shot's if the waste is trapped or not tbh. Would need a wider picture.

i think it may well be Franke wastes in fact, and the installer has got himself in a little bit of a pickle with them

 

[Brinkley]

looks like the waste us going upwards to me blockage inevitable

 

[devonmark]

i can't stand plastic pipe, looks tacky

 

[Mike]

I didnt notice whether there was a trap on the waste, I'll check when i'm back there next in a couple of weeks. I don't do a lot of plumbing myself but I never use plastic or pushfits, nor does the plumber who I use

Could be the Franke silver kit (spazio2) joins together to a single trap lower down, either way its a 40grand kitchen with £40 fitting
