Thanks for posting this no waffle video. I have hot water again 😊

I’ve subscribed to your channel as I’ve found it so helpful. Plus your comments and replies are also amazing. Keep up the good work sir.
🙏
Thanks . Was very helpful
You're welcome!
Can i change the radiator valve without turning off the lock sheild. I think the lock sheild is jammed and im not able to turn it off. Lock sheild is not with a cap on top of it but a plastic knob with + and - sign on top of it to rotate it to turn it on or off.
Yes, you need to drain the heating system to replace the valve. Just make sire the other valve is open when draining
@HouseWarm thanks for getting back to me. will the step be the same if I'm changing just one radiator valve?
Not sure what you mean
@HouseWarm I mean. I just want to change one radiator valve. So, I am presuming that in that case , I can change the radiator valve without turning off the lock sheild. Thanks
Yes, just make sure the other valve is open so the water drains out of the radiator
I can't unscrew my tap help!!!!
I usually use water pump pliers to unscrew the end when it's stiff, with a towel in between the tap and pliers to help stop scratching the chrome off
Are the bleed values all the same size for this type of radiator🤔
Yes!
The blue knob on the left doesnt turn for me, the one on the right does though. I also have 2 black knobs but turning those does nothing.
They sometimes get super stiff when they haven't been touched for a long time. You can try using some water pump pliers to turn it
@HouseWarm The boiler is actually brand new but you were correct the left valve was very stiff, I was just hesitant to use any force on it as I'm not qualified at all - but it's all good now. Appreciate the video and the fast response.
💪
What hose and fittings do you use please?
This is my hose on Amazon, you get all the fittings with it amzn.to/3Ath4cJ
What about if the keys is lost?? Is there any other way to do it??
No, you'd have to buy a new key or fit an external filling loop on the pipes below the boiler
I needed a refresher, this was just the ticket. 👍
💪
Thanks this saved me
💪
My lever has corroded badly, can I just replace the lever without replacing the cartridge ?
Yeah, you can replace the tap lever handle.
Sorry to sound like a complete dumb arse but do I literally just yank it off ? 😅
You need to loosen the screw first, same as in video.
Ok
Many thanks !! Done it 😂x
Lovely but can he shut the water supply off or on😂😂
Yes, it's my stopcock
What if the nut on the tap is seized on?
Use a bigger spanner or water pump pliers (grips). The bigger the tool the more leverage you've got. Failing that, you'll have to replace the tap th-cam.com/video/3oLK-bVGdNA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1yu_dhQGxunZdrGC
I have a question, if i live in a rental building and the landlord is setting my thermostat for the ac and everytine i turn it down to 70°F he turns it back to 76°F remotely. Is there a way i can bypass his preset or remove his ability to remotly set my thermostat. Its an LG thermostat. Thanks for the video;
I don't deal with AC in England but it sounds like he might have a smart thermostat and controlling it from his phone. You'd probably have to disconnect it (like in this video) and fit a different one.
Thank you..as an old bird on my own this was just what I needed to know..much appreciated x
You're welcome old bird 👍
Easy
@@mbusox very!
Why similar Grohe taps impossible to take top nut off.I bought the 32mm socket still won’t come off.
Yeah they can be tough to remove, I usually use my 400mm Knipex pliers to get plenty leverage on tight nuts and cartridges.

@@videostoviews2262 💪
Can you please tell me how to know the Exact size of the Cartridge? Once I bought 'Handle Faucet Lever' and it was not fitted propertly because of its size.
@@knowledgesharer6983 the measurement you need is the width (diameter) of the fat round part. The rest you'll have to make sure it looks the same, top and bottom.
Is this the cause of when water suddenly goes cold??
@@mikeb2604 it can be. Check the pressure gauge, it needs to be around 1 bar

@@krishnababu2356 cheers mate
Lifesaver mate! Quick question. I reset the boiler to just over 1 and 8 hours later it’s dropped halfway between 1 and 0.5 (so 0.75 approx). Obviously that’s a bad sign. Can I keep re-setting it every few days and what’s the issue? Thanks
@@jaycee145 check the copper pipe outside for water coming out when the pressure drops. If its not coming out of there, you'll have a leak somewhere on your heating system, commonly on a radiator valve but it could be on a pipe under the floor.
@@HouseWarm thanks for this mate. Is the leak generally manageable (drips) or something that needs looked into asap?
@@jaycee145 if it's on a radiator valve you can sometimes just tighten one of the nuts with a spanner. If it's coming out the blow off pipe outside, you might need to replace the pressure relief valve.
@@HouseWarm some man - cheers mate.
Brilliant mate thanks. What if you need the garden hose a few rooms away from mains water supply? For example if you have a garden out the living room but water supply is in kitchen around 10 meters away? Would you just run pvc pipe through a discreet location? Best suggestion?
@@kermanshah123 yeah you'd have to run a pipe to it. Best bet is under the floor if possible, or if you have to surface mount it you could use trunking to cover the pipe.
Having a radiator cold at the top is a sure sign you need to bleed it, here are 3 ways
Good Job
@@syedbukhari2689 🙏
What’s the diameter of that brass connector please mate?
22mm female connection amzn.to/4bpSNAZ
@@HouseWarm Thanks mate 👌🏻
In australia these waterheaters are not alowed in side hafto be out side in case of gasleak,
That's crazy 🤯
Hi what’s the green thing called?
Thumb screw jubilee clips. This one is 12-20mm.
If your boiler pressure keeps rising to 3 bar then dropping then recharging the expansion vessel should fix it. Longer video on my channel and linked on this short.
My Huntington Brass GT2620-20 bathroom single lever handle won't budge. I can't move it up or down to turn the water on. Do you think it's just the cartridge, or something else I need to be looking at? TY
Sounds like the cartridge
Very simple fix for the Baxi, Potterton and Main E119 error which is for low boiler pressure. The E119 fault code should disappear when the pressure is increased.

Cleaning a condensate trap on an Ideal Logic combi boiler is sometimes needed to stop it getting blocked with too much crap building up inside.
Nice video ! Can hou explain why it wouldn't work if you leave it like it is ...
Removing a thermostat or timer is sometimes needed if they're faulty as they can cause the boiler to not work. Also, if you're moving house you might want to take your Hive or Nest smart thermostat with you. I used 'keep boiler working' in the title because if you just remove the wires without adding a link then the boiler won't work.
In america our hoses automatically have a female connecter on the end that screws right onto the tap.
We typically just have the quick connect connector permanently on the tap, then the hose can just click on and off when needed, the screwing is just a one time thing.
Topping up the pressure on a Worcester boiler can be tricky with a key, even for heating engineers, but this is how to do it.

bro help my tap is upside down should i use more tape ?
Yes, needs more ptfe taps
El cartucho cuesta tanto o más que un grifo nuevo.
not in England, nowhere near
Most modern kitchen taps have an end you can screw off but if yours hasn't got one, you'll have to use a universal hose tap connector.
