My Pool guy just installed a new pressure vacuum break, it was leaking from the top. Is it installed correctly. Here are the before and after pictures.
1. Is it installed correctly? I am concerned with the handles so close to the wall. I had to replace the handles in the past on my old breaker. For future maintenance, I am concerned for clearance to get to the back handle.
2. Why did they spray paint the pipe. Is this for looks purposes or something that they need to do to protect the pipe.
3. Should have they replace the very old house bib and pipe. They left the original and attached the old house bib. Not sure if this is correct. The plumber that quoted me for replacement was 120 more than my pool guy, but said he would replace everything, pipe, house bid, pipe into home and pressure vacuum breaker.
Not sure if I over paid my pool guy for the install as well.
Thank you in advance for your input.
