As a heating engineer who would rather replace a tap then fix it. I like the look of that cartridge set, when you take the old cartridge out how do you know which one to replace it with? Do you find they always have the correct markings on them to match the ones in the box, or is it a case of eye balling it?
I had a 2hex passing on a brand new worcester gstar...worcester just came and replaced it...bizzare..best worcester tip i know is the syphon through the heatex for a oheating heatex.....with the baxi Dvs i dont D about with the diaphrams...just change the whole of the pressure differential brass disc takes minutes
Great work mate 👍🏼 how did you know what cartridge you needed for the job and what cartridge set is this one you have bought? Apologies if this is a stupid question just at the beginning of my training in plumbing haha
No problem mate no stupid questions here pal 🙌👍. I got it from a company called bathroom spare parts, it came with the spline gauge with a ruler on it so you take old cartridge out and use gauge and ruler to measure up. Really good bit of kit 👍
If pipework runs at back then yeah il take pump out, I prefer this method as less disturbed the better but Worcester o rings normally ok to reuse if you take pump out 👍
Using grips on the basin tap like that is disgraceful! Should have correct size spanner’s. What is it with “plumbers” using incorrect tooling and graunching things?
Graunching the cartridge that was coming out anyway…I mean what’s the harm if it’s been scrapped anyway? Spanner was used to put new one in so no damage on that I can’t see the issue if I’m being honest
Love the pipe tip for the taps
If you stand them up vertical spin them 90* and they drop between the pipes, done loads, a bit awkward but no pipe cutting
Have to give that a try. never even knew you could as pipework seems very tight to fit between
Great vid m8, on them worcesters i honestly find it easier just to whip the pump out
Someone else said that as well…I might have to time this see which is quicker 😅👍👍
Really like your videos, have a great new year and keep them coming

Got the set with a spline gauge with a ruler on side, so you know which cartridge to fit, worth the investment for tap repairs 👍

Why don’t the design the boiler with the plate heat exchanger at the front for easy access
Would make life easier, worse one I’ve tried is a navien, impossible to get out unless you dismantle the boiler

I’m interested in the cartridge kit also👍

Just answered mate about set 👍

Happy New Year
Plug insink stanley to take cap out
Should have the sink plug in, how many times has the screw disappeared down there and turned a 5min job into a nightmare.
Yeah done that before 😅👍
Legend 🙂🙂🙂
Thanks mate happy new year
Just take the pump out?
Blood on the knuckles long before the plate came down!! #becauseworcester 🤣
Personally I prefer just taking the pump out....maybe if some of the pipework runs up the back.
If pipework runs at back then yeah il take pump out, I prefer this method as less disturbed the better but Worcester o rings normally ok to reuse if you take pump out 👍
As long as you don't lose the o ring from the pump and spot the facts dropped off it fine.
I rather take out the pump. I find is easier. Don't need to fiddle about compression fitting or soldering back
Reason I like doing it this was is less disturbed seals, Worcester o rings am normally sound thou so taking pump out ain’t so bad 👍
That P2P trick isn't new. Cut the gas pipe too if you want. Doesn't work if piped up behind the boiler.
No it’s not new just some people might not of been shown it, if it’s rear piped then I will normally take pump out
Rule #1 when working on taps. Put the plug in the hole 😂
Yeah forgot that one 😅
Im glad I don’t have to work on Worcesters.
Cut your fingers half the time working on them 😅
I’m glad I’ve retired
