Unvented cylinder on chipboard?

Look guys, anyone with a Y chromosome can look at an installation and see if it's ok or not. We can estimate the floor quality, resilience to water and other factors. It may be ok on chipboard or may not be. The only answer the OP can make any use of is it legal or not, to see if he has any comeback against the installer. So why not answer that question? It may be legal and safe, legal and unsafe, illegal and safe or illegal and unsafe. But the only way the OP has any comeback is if its illegal.

The OP seems like a guy and thinks it may be unsafe, but he can't do anything about it if its legal and allowed under building regs etc. That's why you can't trust the rules and if you have specific concerns, you should stipulate them.

All you have to do is talk sense to troll the idiots on this forum.

What exactly do you expect the OP to do if you believe it's unsafe but its not against regulations/illegal? Should he phone up the installer and say "I think this is unsafe?". Even if the installer can reply its not against any regulations. Worth a try but it even more unbelievable that they would do anything about it than my cylinder hanging from the pipes with no floor below it for a long time

Just tell the OP whether he has any comeback (legal recourse) against the installer for installing it on chipboard. I have already weighed in and said it probably is allowed (no legal recourse) because they often do it in new builds.

IS IT ALLOWED OR NOT? You paint your self as the experts. Answer the frigging question.

Care to explain how 5 x 22mm copper pipes connected to a cylinder weighing between 170 and 300 kg by a nut and olive are going to support the weight? We're all ears (y)



P. S. One of those pipes does have one of those super strong plastic tundishes to keep it balanced I suppose :LOL:
 
If you install something against regulations the customer has a legal right to demand recompense and will win a legal case. Are you going to argue the difference between legal and lawful and criminal vs civil law with me on a plumbing forum?

same way a professional fighter can make weight and suddenly lose 5lb by resting his hands on stretched out towel held by 2 other people.
 
Maybe I exaggerated but the pipes support it to some extent. Still, all the original poster needs to know is whether he has any comeback legally against the installer.
