32 WALL OF SHAME PLUMBING Wall Of ShamE www.plumbingafrica.co.za “I saw one of these at the Rugby World Cup in Japan – you just have to be careful that you’ve finished your business before sticking your finger in there.” @plumbingonline @plumbingonline “The single tap for the bath is hanging outside the wall on a polycop pipe. Copper with a female should have chased into the wall with the tap screwed in the female inside the wall and would be strong.” Some say innovation, some say clever thinking, and sometimes we just don’t know any better, but it is still non-compliant and carries risk for the installer, the client, and possibly anyone else in the direct area. Most of us will be baffled by the images on this page, but why do we still see installations like these? “Not sure where that water’s going.” @PlumbingAfricaOnline April 2020 Volume 26 I Number 02
