Why do plumbers put in multiple joints rather than replacing the pipe?
It would have been neater and less joints to cause future leaks to omit the 5cm section and coupler, going along to the compression coupling half a metre away.
If it was a soldered coupler and the painted pipe needing cleaning up, I could definitely see the point, but that just seems lazy. Am I wrong?
