@@nazali5947 it runs in minimum output so it condenses the most. Once the time period is finished it then runs as normal

Generally faster dropping it underneath if it will go. If you turn up with the mindset and rip the pump straight out tho it can be incredibly fast too. There’s another vid on my Channel showing it that way. It’s easy once you done it

It’s heating pipes in a screeded floor. Was thinking maybe just a fault from when it was made. Not sure though

@plumbertime well ig I'd have too go with your answer, seen quite a few pipes spraying water with those fine thin cracks under our house, we didn't have them wrapped good enough, and winter froze them up bad.

@@bernardomerin4761 yeah, it was strange as I looked inside the pile and it didn’t look thin or anything, so no idea

It’s not really a how to fit a radiator start to finish, it’s just a quick tip for getting the height correct. For horizontal just put the radiator against the wall and draw a mark where brackets are

@@LouieMoney-c9f both are the best trades I’d say. Do plumbing and gas, a big part of plumbing and gas is electrics anyway. There will always be heating engineers to install heat pumps anyway if it goes that way. But I reckon personally we might go slightly hydrogen blend. Everyone needs plumbing and heating! It’s a very diverse job too. If you get good you can earn very well and every house is a customer! If you do a fast track course go work with a company for a few years doing general plumbing and heating. You will learn very quick this way as lots of diverse jobs and experienced engineers to learn from.

@@plumbertime thank you so much mate, this has got to be the most useful answer I've been given on this question. I'll most likely become a plumber now.

@@LouieMoney-c9f best thing I ever did and I could go walk in to plenty of jobs tomorrow if I wanted, you’re in demand 💪🏻👍😂

I would of rather angled the flue that get up there on the ladder to do that 😂

Good to know 👍 Edit went back there today to sort it out and you’re correct. It sits in a slot that would drain out the casing

@@plumbertimeglowworm had an issue on a flexicom. It was dormant for a while but hydrogen leaked from the auto air vent ….some one turned it on and I think there was a bit of a boom…now they put the tube on to vent it straight out of boiler

@@tomstrutton4351 I have a short vid that is much under viewed where I light hydrogen gas build up on a towel rad! 😂 Now you say that it makes perfect sense to vent it outside! 🍺👍 Just re uploaded it

@@plumbertime couldn’t get a radiator valve tail out of a radiator last year….put some heat on it and bang! Blew black shit water up this ladies wall…and made me jump

@tomstrutton4351 effing he’ll mate couldn’t even make that up. That would have shook me. Reminds me of a dodgy pcb fault on an old to rI had where you’d have the case off and the fan would cut out. The flames would blow out the boiler in your face.

@@jackfulton6789 12kw is good starting point. Then if all working great still then drop it down a bit. You’d get to a point where it doesn’t seem to heat up the house anymore. That would be too low. Ideally you want the flow temperature to be low too but that depends on the size of the radiators.

@@plumbertime Yeah so ive range rated it down to 7kw and my flow temperature is 45 degrees. Works great!

Good to know, it’s worked on glowworm hxi too for me.

Thanks pal. 🍺

👍

@@brendanwilkes5333 this case was cracked and one broken hinge boiler had grease on the top so think maybe cooking oil messed it up!? Never seen it before of since

@@davidbailey9634 yes

@@AlexRocks24-7 it’s on the cold inlet. It would work on draincock too. If you go through the top of cylinder you need to get airlock through pump with wet vax to get it going

@@sytyvadi5091 no, but I did wonder can I force air in to the cylinder like an accumulator to boost it out, is it possible?

Thankfully just used the old hose

@@plumbertime I always keep some on the van

@@HIMITSONLYRIGHT it siphons in by opening either the boiler drain off or maybe bleeding a radiator lower, or a draincock. Here a drain off was opened on a radiator to pull all the inhibitor in

@@davidl2650 it’s a safety feature so make sure you turn it back on

No prv either on undersized electric boiler, that’s why cold valve is almost closed too, nightmare

@@rossmacnab2655 Crazy

@@plumbertime Agree 👍

They are good boilers overall

If you had a thermostat then nothing on the boiler will make it work unless the thermostat is on. Generally boilers rely on getting a live power from controls to fire up.

Yep. Always communicate, this is the key with all jobs so you have happy customers.

Maybe plate heat exchanger has pinholed. Try to drain the boiler with the cold off, then open the cold supply and it may fill up the pressure. It probably drops when you use it as the dynamic water pressure changes to below the standing pressure.

@@plumbertime hi mate thanks for the reply. Does a pinhole in the heat exchanger increase the temperature on the boiler to close to a 100?

@@bennyben8390 no, I couldn’t think of a reason for the pressure being high when not in use but when using it the pressure drops, it’s strange, only rare thing I thought was maybe split plate, If it’s overheating tho then it will be something else. Just call out a local heating company.

@@plumbertime ok cheers thanks for your reply

It needs replacing. As the valve closes it bounces and makes noise. Turning them can stop it but they need to be replaced, or you can just unscrew it. But then it doesn’t regulate temperature

Thanks, hope it comes in handy!

Thanks, to be fair people can learn all sorts of things on the internet and the instructions that are left with the customers has all these details in it.

The light can flash in different ways, the information in the manual can point you in the right direction but you should get a gas engineer who is experienced in Worcester boilers to fix it as it’s not a diy job. You need to carry out safety checks and these can not be carried out without specialist tools

Sorry it was more aimed for engineers who would understand it, basically I used the mains pressure from the shower to clear the airlock. Can also do this if the shower is pumped.

@@plumbertime Thanks. My airlock is moving around the plumbing system. One day there will be cold water only in the main shower, the next, the kitchen sink downstairs, then the spare bathroom upstairs. I feel like I need to shut off the main and work my way through draining all fixtures and appliances.

lol I do make mistakes sometimes as I usually just do one video

Terrible design

👍

Yes that can work too.

Yes any thing where air could escape would work. I’d of closed any aav though as potentially could suck in air! In future someone will be loving it that there’s a lever valve there to clear any airlock,

Yep exactly that.

@plumbertime Thanks may try it as sometimes get stuck trying get the air out for while.

@@b1h2u3p4 That usually works every time the wet vac doesn’t. Not all the time though unfortunately 😂
