Mains Pressure under sink


I installed a mains pressure under sink the another day. Was easy and did it all in one hit :) my teacher was pleased with my work.

Valves

-3 in 1  (filter, isolating and non-return) 
-Cold water expansion valve
-Isolating valve (to drain the cylinder)
-TPR valve  (Temperature Pressure Relief Valve)
-Tempering valve (hot and cold water mixer)

I always make sure my work is neat and tidy, also my work space
