Talking of socket position, this one was installed a few days ago. Is this a good position?Holy Moly Farmboy !
Those plastic hose connectors are notorious for not sealing properly on a metal threaded tap and will leak resulting in a jet of water being sprayed upwards. Plus if the connector gives at any point then the water is going to be thrown all over the place and probably onto those sockets.
If it was me, I'd be commenting on that Facebook post and tagging in the customer asking them if they've applied for his years' Darwin Award... ?
Hi Lisa
Well, the customer is perfectly happy with its location. Other people started to post negative comments about its location, so the customer turned off commenting on it and replied thus:
"Just to comment on what some of the other tradespeople have commented on this post re: distance between the power and water, Patrick has advised that regulations have been updated and it’s now a recommended distance of 300mm. The regulations state it must be protected by a 30mA RCD which it is. The 18th edition regulations are quite new out so other trades maybe aren’t aware of the changes as yet.
I do appreciate the helpful comments that were left (as I wasn’t aware of the distance recommendations etc myself), but not so much the ones with laughing face emojis etc so would advise if anyone feels the need to comment on others work on here in the future, that they are up to date on the regs before doing so".
So, there's no accounting for taste.
