Gas manifold on Skyhooks

[Basildog]

This is a gas installation carried out by one of the alleged professional van conversion companies.
The current situation with a trade organisation in partnership with the supposed 2 main leisure industry clubs is a complete joke at best and a recipe for disaster at worst .
The gas manifold is not fixed to anything so hanging on the gas pipes

Looks like a very poor DIY build

Well there are bodges and then there are potentially lethal bodges!

 

[Revolvor]

Dreadful!

Must have knobbly knees he bent the pipes over.

Forgot to use the external bending spring obviously.

That was my first thought

 

[Wanderlust]

I think he might need knee replacement surgery.
I have actually used Skyhook, a set up using a lift bag to provide an overhead anchor point on a subsea wellhead...

The compression joints are just asking to work loose

I think its perfectly reasonably to see a picture of the outside of the van

With movement of the van on any roads-especially ours-those joints are going to disintegrate!

 

[dpsuk999]

That’s shocking!!!

Charlie, is this an NCC Approved Van? If so, could you message me the details. Cheers

Just as one did in our Rapido ... we'd had an external BBQ point fitted by the dealer when we bought it new and eventually ended up with a 5ft blowtorch due to their incompetence. The independent inspector they employed slammed them and told them to rip it all out and do it properly.

No it’s another small conversion company that has now changed its name.

The professionals strike again…. Do you need any qualifications/certificates to be able to call yourself a professional…?
If not I could call myself a professional in many things….

Do we get to make suggestions?

As a retired safety advisor from the petroleum industry, I am amazed that the unsecured gas manifold is located alongside the electrical water pump! Potentially there are all three sides of the fire triangle (fuel, air and source of ignition) in place! With a fire and/or explosion if all three come together!

A very good point

 

[BouncyBoatFolk]

Even for water that would have been a p!$$ poor installation.

Or static electricity ... That's what they think lit the gas from our leak as there was only the gas pipes in the cupboard and nothing else turned on.

You are obviously not familiar with shabby sheek.

Its all he rage ----- Apparently

Well, in fairness they have complied with the warning on the front panel, and have not installed it IN the bathroom!!.

We had a similar type of gas fuelled, and battery for the piezo ignition , heat on demand shower boiler in Borneo a while ago. That was installed in the bathroom, but the walls of the bathroom started at 18" off the ground, and finished at 4' 6" high, so quite a lot of open air, it did have a thatched roof as well. Gaps in the floor to drain the shower, no tray, quite rustic.
