Plastic pipe standards and floor boards sitting on clips All aspects of plumbing questions and answers, help, tips and information

Hi all - new here, just asking a couple of questions to make sure I am not over reacting to some work I have had done which I feel is below par.

Speedfit pipe has been laid very close to floor board level - so much so that the floorboards are sitting directly on the clips - surely this cannot be right?

Also, some pipes have been routed underneath some trunking and then sharply bent upwards where they go into a 90deg pushfit bend fitting at a bit of an angle. My take on this is that it is not only placing stress on the pipe/fitting, but that it also is pressing down on the plasterboard ceiling below (a ceiling board which we will be taking down and replacing shortly - at which time I think this pipe will 'spring' out due to the pressure of the bend and may then be difficult to refit the board).

Would welcoome any thoughts on this, thanks.

Hi masmith
Jguest suggest installing pipe through the neutral axis of joists, they do not comment on notching as an installation method. The minimum bend radius for 15mm pipe is 175mm.
