Hi Hayden, sorry for the late response. If your super tub is designed to be connected like a washing machine would then there is no problem and you can do this yourself.

If the tub requires you to modify and plumbing inside the wall then you must be licensed. Most super tubs are considered an external fixture and connect via flexible hoses and a standard S-trap. Good on you for looking into it.

As a home owner, am I able to replace my own Laundry Tub under Section 15 of the Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006?

Disconnecting existing tub from hot/cold water lines, and drain, and reattaching the new tub?

I have been searching round online, and found plenty of places saying that the plumbing needs to be done by a licensed professional, but haven't found anything addressing this section of the Act.

In particular, subsection 4 states - 'applies in the places that the Minister... specifies by notice in the Gazette', and I have searched in https://gazette.govt.nz/ and can't find any notices related to this, so am wondering if this does not apply.

Nothing is more expensive than a missed opportunity and there have been a lot. A new Minister of Building and Construction has been appointed so what does she face?

Just a few points to keep you thinking about the state of the regulation of our industry.

Shame I was put out of business by corrupts...only live around the corner...

An old post but maybe others will benefit...I use homeproject365 which have dedicated databases for materials, labor and overheads. Unfortunately the materials database is not sync with supplier/merchant pricing but it's easy to keep the prices up to date. Another thing is that if you change the price of particular material, that will reflect in all your quoting/tendering forms.

This edition we look at apprenticeships, the cost of regulation and Negligent, Incompetent, or other behaviour.  Take the NIO quiz and you may just be surprised.

No it does not comply. the plumber should have run the drain to an approved point of discharge. E.g a gully trap.

Thank you very much. I thought that would be the case.
