Picture of the week!™

Well folks, it's that time of the week again!

I don't think this needs an explanation.

N&R again

I know you are not meant to bond to lead,,, but the incoming flexi pipe - that's just ridiculous

I thought they'd bonded to the handle first look..

 

[plugwash]

Far more worrying to me than the bonding is the way that lead pipe is kinked.......

I've never seen a lead gas pipe. Was this done much? I thought it all used to be cast iron, then copper.

Where do you think it should be bonded?

lots of lead round here..

usually from the iron supply pipe to the meter.. they didn't like / have the "anaconda" pipes back then..
interestingly, my lead is also kinked.. don't think they knew what a bending spring was...

It should be made to the consumer's hard metal pipework.

I may put it between the nut and the start of the lead pipe.

If that's not possible, then a plate can be fitted to the meter to which the PEB can then be attached.
