Bath panel????

[Fliselege]

Has the plumbing trade not started using plastic pipe in pipe there yet? I've been away a long time. No need for joints, I only see them in older properties here where the very few don't want the plumbing redone when we re-tile. Then it either goes ok or they end up with any amount of inspection hatches which can look bloody awful.

As a human, SwedishMike is a complete goon that would benefit from a good hiding. However, I live in Norway specialising in wetrooms, and if regulations are same in Sweden as they are here, he's right. Every water joint inside a wall must have an inspection hatch, end of story.

Jesus,even I trust my plumbers a bit more than that [emoji33]
I can understand a bath panel having access, but every water joint, Christ in a big wetroom it would look like a scarecrows arsehole [emoji33]

Yes it would. But full new bathrooms, kitchens, utility rooms etc have the pipe in pipe plastic system. No joints necessary, so no inspection hatches. Each room has an accessible box with a hot bar and cold bar, all pipes run from there to where they need to go. Even built in toilets don't need a hatch as you can take flush button off and see where it's fixed. Just old properties with welded copper joints or compression joints in walls need the hatches. Think the most I put in one bathroom was about 4 or 5. Nasty. I work with plumbers that know their job, but if regs dictate a hatch, suck it up cos that's the way it is. Welcome to Norway. ;-)
