Dodgy plumbing Some Christmas crackers!

Some Christmas crackers.... keep ’em coming!

No elbow? No problem!

“A plumber has used a tee in place of an elbow,” says Grant Crotty of Plumb Source, who sent in this pic. “Only using the dust cap as a blank. How would you sleep at night?”

A first for everything

“Makes a change from seeing them on S pans,” says Craig Tremeer of this photo he sent in. “The screw to hold the nucon is a first as well.”

Isolated incident

Thanks to Nathan of NT Plumbing & Gas for sending this one in. “Two isolation valves on a wetback! Now have been removed.”

Plastic fantastic

And another sent in by Craig. “Hemp used on plastic nipples sealed onto building wrap. Three of them on one house to connect hose taps.”
