Good repair and should be temporary at best. They should replace with preinsulated underground pipe and get it done correctly. At the end of the day, you can only do what is asked for.
hi tom had a job with something similiar last year the lesson here is never let the customer buy or order the materials as they are not on a price or hourly rate looks good in the suppliers show room no pipework ( ect) a job that should have taken best part of a day took 3& half weeks from suppliers to finish! keep up the good work and the vids ... oh and dump the suppliers . from the other comments i've read
Top job again Tom.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. A note about how good Denso tape can be. I wrapped a temporary underground 0.2 square inch copper cable joint up on a night call out after a fault earlier in the day.put about ten layers on and warmed it with a gas torch and smoothed it down. Long story short, it was forgotten about! About ten years later someone dug it out whilst overlaying the old main. Still as good as the day it went in. 😂
A very nice repair there Tom . Brings back memorys when I used to watch the Wm Wright's heating lads installing metal pipe .it's an art in it self .
some nice low carbon steel pipe work for a change Nice one Tom
Been waiting all week for your video to drop. I can sleep well tonight now. Top job.
Rock on Tommy great video love that held held pipe threading machine what a handy tool apart from the kick back . All the best Del Boy .
Nice video Tom, not an easy repair. You are always working hard, keep up the great work
Excellent job Tom. Yes it’s pretty brutal working in the cold at the moment. Roll on summer.
Lovely lever valve on the ideal pipe work.. keep the videos coming Tom. Hope you have a great weekend 👍
M8 why didn’t u just do an iron to copper Subscribed
give it socks Tom ull get it done as always
Nice video mate! Feel your pain was digging up leaks last week in the freezing weather couldn’t feel my hands by the end of it!
Always find it nerve racking drilling new holes for the taps in a new bath. Sometimes better with holes already there but in a way it's better to drill your own holes so you can make the hole just a couple miller bigger than the 3/4 thread. Better that way than pre drilled holes that are 100 times bigger than the thread going through them
If you drill 3 holes under cylinder the air circulates , enjoyed your vid Tom legendary as always Top man
Screwed pipe work is a dying art Tom, nice repair
Cracking on Tom , well done mate another cracker 🎉
Genuinely look forward to your brilliant vids. Don’t know why because I’m a heating engineer 😂😂😂 keep it up mate
That pump head has definitely been swapped . It's a 180 body so should have a 25-80 on it. That 15-50 won't do 40 rads 😂😂 . Nice work Tom as always . Your mate is a bargain if you're paying him in freddos 😂😂
GREAT CONTENT!!
top work Tom. Love seeing the variety of jobs you tackle.
Thought it looked like 11/4” pipe. Glad you used Loctite 55 and not ptfe. 55 is spot on. Years ago we had to change a 24” pipe carbon steel to cast with a lead joint and had to wrap it all with Denso tape. Job well done there Tom. You knew I’d be watching you didn’t you Tom? lol.
Looks a good job. Well out of my league.
Don't quit your plumbing for your singing mate otherwise bang on as usual. As always fella
What an interesting video that was! You certainly are knowledgeable in your field. You'd make a killing down here in London mate.
Nice one Tom That was a nice different video 😎👍🤜
Really enjoyed that one Tom, looked like a tidy job when you got it done, and I bet everyone ones pleased to have the heating back on, it’s been freezing hasn’t it, Plumbers harvest 🚽👍take care
Great job! Always professional
Tell you mate he shouldn't have his Stiles on the bead of the fitting 😉
Still the most interesting plumber on yt 👍 love seeing this kind of thing.
Thanks for watching mate, glad you enjoyed the video, hope you have a great weekend
I would have a fortnights holiday to come work with you. 😂
50p and a fredo... 🤣🤣 sounds bit pricey tom... caramel fredo's thats a new one, where have i been hidin?
Caramel Fredos are a game changer, thanks for watching as always Pete
Hi Tom, a job well done there mate as always, I have used many rolls of denso tape in the past, I always use gloves with that stuff. Hope all joints remained water tight when the system got up to pressure. Have a great weekend and take care Tom. 👍👍👍
Thanks for the support as always Chris, I think we are all fine on this one, the pressure has held since last Friday, have a great weekend
Lovely old job 👏👏👏
Thanks for the support as always Andy, hope you have a great weekend
You to Tom
I think you're the only plumber on TH-cam that shows this sort of work,most are just boilers and general plumbing, makes a nice change
Thanks for the support mate, glad you enjoyed, hope you have a great weekend
Great stuff pal yet again. Just a cheeky tip those lever valves have a break point so no need for a union but it's only a thought, only if compression is being used either side
That is very true, to be honest we couldn't get in the room to have a look so we guessed what bits we needed, we only got 2 sockets so had to use the union for the male irons, thanks for watching as always
Pipefitters are the rules we know you know fact
You know the funniest thing is...that apart from a few of your subscribers ie none. I'm spoon feeding so on that note kittens can't kid cats
You need a cape mate, Tom to the rescue 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶. Well done mate.
Thanks for the support as always Charles, have a great weekend
The jobs you get Tom! Makes me feel rubbish just doing boiler faults and installs 😂
Don't feel like that, I'm not that good at some stuff, thanks for watching as always
I love the tools you guys have nowadays.you make it look so easy tom but it is hard work. well done lads.
Thanks for the support as always Paul, have a great weekend
I'm not a plumber but a keen diyer. Thank you for your videos i always learn something new!

Fantastic job and video Tom 👍😎
Thanks for the support as always Pb, hope you have a great weekend
Tom that Denso tape still gives me nightmares, I hated using that stuff.
It's certainly not the nicest stuff, thanks for watching as always mate
Tom the kind of guy that has drained down, ripped out, got fresh pipe to connect onto straight away before the materials turn up, legend mate
Thanks for the support as always mate, have a great weekend
great video Tom , only do domestic plumbing but still interesting for me.
Thanks for the support as always Chris, I'm pleased you found it interesting, have a great weekend
Thank you for the video Tom, have a good weekend hope the weather improves.
Thanks for the support as always Barry, hope you have a great weekend
I think I remember this job doesn’t it elbow in the court yard and you replaced a section near the first flat? They need a full repipe if it is.
That was a different one, they were in ducts, it was this time last year and all has been good on that one as far as I know. Thanks for the support as always mate
Nice one Tom. What type of recip blades do you use? They seem to make short work of the iron pipe.
Thanks for the support as always Hugh, they are just the Dart brand bi metal blades
If Tom can't fix it, it ain't worth fixing. Keep up the great work mate!
Thanks for the support as always Tom, hope you have a great weekend
With those remnants of PS insulation that's not underground heating, it's ground heating. Terrible waste of precious energy.
Thanks for watching, I just did the repair
@@PlumbLikeTom Not your fault or problem Tom, you were there for a timely repair in winter. That insulation was whack way before you showed up, I bet those slabs never froze over.
Looks great. One thing I like about press-fit elbows is they all look like they are long radius. Are the tees fully swept too?
first
Thanks for the support as always Will, have a great weekend
