Oh yeah 100% not closing that up.. and will be keeping an eye on it. It's on my list to probably go pex from the copper to the mixing valve. Not pictured.. in same bathroom hot and cold are connected to the wrong side of the sink handles they come up from the floor as hot right cold left so they just hooked them up that way. It's on my pre-move in checklist to swap those before the kids use that.

Yeha muscle memory thing. No way I can let it sit there like that. More than enough room in the lines to swap it out so it's right.

mr.belowaverage posted:Me either, I can't figure out the plumbing. Zoom in on the pic, there is a pipe vertical off the mixing valve that inexplicably does a 180 to the hose that hangs down then doubles back up to feed the shower head. It doesn't attach in a three way to the right valve like I also thought at first. There must not have been a stock threaded pipe the right length to go vertically off the mixing valve.

 The perspective is a little weird because there's a pipe below Yellow Hooks shower to mixing valve.. Right behind yellow is the tub spout Red and blue are Hot and cold (to the best of my recollection) it works but for some reason. I believe that the supply lines may be part of the reason for lower water pressure as well since they're for sinks, also those shutoffs. I will most likely be looking to getting some PEX fittings and resolving this portion of insanity.

mr.belowaverage posted:Me either, I can't figure out the plumbing. I feel like it's something along the lines of one of these control setups: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Glacier-Bay-Aragon-3-Handle-1-Spray-Tub-and-Shower-Faucet-in-Chrome-Valve-Included-HD834X-0001/303783504 The bottom port from the center mix area goes down to the tub faucet as normal, the top port for whatever reason goes in to the elbow then the hose before connecting to the riser pipe to the shower head. The way things are connected as far as the way the water flows seems entirely reasonable, it's just how they chose to connect the various inputs and outputs together that's strange and potentially harmful. e:f;b.

Lol, thanks for the drawing. I thought there was an octopus off the hot, couldn't tell that was a loop from the original riser going to the galvy makeshift riser. Honestly, it's better than both my bathrooms were originally.

Jaded Burnout posted:Could you clarify? The tubing on the bottom is encased in concrete in random ways. Some tubes look to get buried in concrete then loop back up to go up the wall. I get it's for in-floor radiant heating, but it should go into the concrete neatly and not in spaghetti fashion. The concrete guys probably kicked tubing all over the place while pouring instead of keeping it tied up and look neat. Anyway, that big rear end concrete house also looks to have zero floor outlets. So you have a giant open space, and absolutely no way to plug anything in.

There are two that mysteriously loop under the crete and come back out a few inches later, another one ("the rainbow") that looks like it should have been entirely under the crete...... And that's stuff that can't be reasonably fixed.

Are we just not going to talk about what the gently caress is going on with this facade here? The house is wearing a mask of a different building. All the pictures are conveniently angled so you can't see the back side of it, so however it intersect with the roof must be amazing.

And that's stuff that can't be reasonably fixed. Yah, so, this isn't so much inter-trade maliciousness as it is incompetence. The copper was placed by a proper plumber who is a nice guy and I still use him for stuff. The underfloor was put in by the builder who would never admit that he wasn't expert in every facet of the build and I'm sure didn't bother to read any installation instructions. The "rainbow" loop does make some more sense when you trace all the lines under the screed, but I'm sure could've been eliminated with better planning. The real shitter is the pipe which isn't connected; he used that as a fill point intending to attach it later, but the weight of the screed pulled it down to where it wasn't long enough to reach the manifold and had to be sloppily extended. Had he spent 30 seconds reading the manual he'd know that's not even how you're supposed to fill the loops; the manifold has fill and drain ports on the side. The people doing the screed pour were mostly fine as well, this is all piss poor planning on the part of the builder. The pipes looked just as messy before the pour happened.
