trunking got wat issue? they scared u drill the trunking meh..

they say to put the trunking in livign room means that they need to make more 90degree bends in the copper pipe, which may result in aircon not cold. sounds logical rite? but is it really?

But but but then hor, already before this exposed section and after this exposed section, is all trunking and 90degree bends also ma, so they r in a way slapping own face. why can have 90 degree bends in other rooms? but living room becos got Lbox to hide their pipes so suddenly uturn and say cannot have 90 degree bends so no trunking?

Also, trunking is who fix one? they fix one rite? got law that says trunking must be horizontal to floor? trunking can also run at any angle right? so u see how the pipes run in the picture? they cannot connect several sections of trunking to make it follow the pipes meh? then pipes wont have 90degree bends also mah

UPDATE 19 June: Have went down today personally to GainCity office to chat with the manager, a very nice gentleman, he promised every issue will be resolved and trunking done.

i said the same thing to him. he reply "oh if u no Lbox, i am going to run your trunking straight across the wall, I wont make the trunking go up to the ceiling for u. If u want the pipes to go up to the ceiling then i wont put trunking for u."

Surely I am not the only person in renotalk that have gaincity do aircon pipes above Lbox and false ceiling, anyone else can share their experience?

this is serious, I would strongly recommend you to call up the GC office and complain and make sure they come and rectify this. This rusty nails will surely cut into the insulation one fine day and when it leak, who is going to be responsible.

even my husband who saw ur pics also say ridiculous installation. the trunking is to protect the insulation, so no way it will void the warranty, some more trunking is by them not "pirated". LOL...
