Useful reminder video for a keen amateur like me who only does these jobs occasionally. I tend to use silicon sealant on all the sink fittings where they joint to the ceramic, including the tap and plughole fitting. Where I’ve just trusted to the rubber seals in the past I’ve had problems. I only use plumbers mate on the threaded water pipe fittings. Also on a basin like that a lot of them have a couple of fixing holes for screwing to the wall so you need to get a pair of basin wall fixing screws (a threaded stud with a plastic screw fixing that clamps the basin back to the wall). Once the cabinet and basin are fitted you also need to silicon joint the gap to the wall. I don’t do soldered joints so I either use compression fittings or push fit fittings for copper. I’ve also used plastic pipe with push fit and compression fittings and that is very quick and easy to use. I realise some professional plumbers look down on plastic “ caravan plumbing” but it’s much easier to use and has been reliable for me.
You are a legend, really really helped me out now so much. I only carried on listening to you when I heard you say hold tight a few weeks back as it tickled me but I haven’t stopped watching and educating myself through your videos practicing on my own system & changing, draining, refilling de-sludge rads how to replace inhibitor and adding extra rads how to balance systems for friends and family. Just booked my course. You are ace 👍🏽
How you getting on five years later
Excellent video. I really like how you keep your explanations straightforward and relevant.
And as a chippie from the golden age, I applaud you for your attention to quality and longevity 👏
Just fitted my first bathroom tap and plug thingy easy peasy. Thanks mate.
This is gold mate, thank you for making these videos, I’m gonna have a crack this weekend at fitting my new sink. Your tips will definitely save me some time in troubleshooting frustrating leaks !! 👍
Deserves more likes !!
Great video, before I put the waste in place I put a bit of insulating tape on the top of the rim above the aperture for the overflow as a guide to make sure that it would be aligned accurately.
Thanks for this. It is very easy to follow and appreciated.
I am doing my basic apprenticeship in Luxembourg 🇱🇺 , your videos are quite helpful . In Luxembourg 🇱🇺 plumbing system is quite advanced .
The definition of quality pipework 👌
Great video mate. Just watched that then fitted my own. Cheers 👍

Hi guys hope you enjoy! If you need any help then just comment and REMEMBER to follow me on Instagram here: www.plumberparts.co.uk/social.php?social=Instagram and send me your #PlumbProud and #WildWestWednesday pics!
mate these vids are Awesome , it's like proper training, but for free , thanks mate ,
Couldn't agree more about the pipework being neat for future repairs, nothing drives me nuts like service valves facing the back of the unit or drain offs so low you can't attach anything on them!......... Or snots of solder all over the place so it's difficult to cut the pipe where you want, flux left on fittings so they turn green, flexis bent and kinked within an inch of their life, the list is endless.
Loving it!!
Thanks mate!
Good job mate. Keep it up.
Cheers dude!
I think a good idea would be to set up your amazon affiliate account to link to tools you use day in day out...
i.e.
- plumbers mait
- you holesaw bits for pipe holes
- flux
- solvent
- makita tools you use.
etc etc - it will all add up.
Love your content😊
Very helpful. Thank you.
I do really enjoy your videos
Can u make a video on how to choose the right size tap faucet an how to put them on your taps please....Love watching ur videos, u make everything look so easy.
Great video, thanks
Hi, I've got to connect to an old copper waste pipe, how do I connect a new pvc waste pipe to the copper? Love your videos btw - incredibly helpful!
Hi their, Can you please do a video on what to do if you've got a cold water lever tap that make a Whooshing noises, love all you tips and videos. Cheers
Very helpful, thanks
Thank you I'm trying to learn plumbing from your video s thank you
I LIKES YOUR VIDEO I M LEARNING PLUMBER WORK THANKS FOR GIVING US KNOWLEDGE
Hi mate. How would u put pipe clips on if you've already put the hot and cold copper pipes on.
Diamond vid bud
Can you please do a video on the Bidet Shower Hose install. Used it in japan and they were awesome. Only videos available are US style.
Very helpful
thank for vedio for basin fitting..
Good taste in music!
Thanks
Can you show how install an under-mount kitchen sink, and where to purchase fittings to hold?
Very informative video, i really like those wide grip wrench pliers but couldn't see them on the link unless they have been discontinued..? Cheers

Plumbers mate. A thing of nightmares. It’s a plumbers enemy
Very nice great guy
How did you connect those two little flexible connector to the pipe? What connectors did you use? In that standard connectors? Love the videos
Hi . I hope you can help me. I have a falcon combie boiler, it's quite old. The hot water works fine turning on and off on demand.But when i turn the central heating on it fires up and runs for about a minute then the pressure needle climbs quickly to 2 bar and it cuts out! The pressure is one bar from cold, and not losing pressure.any ideas???
Great video mate, is using compression joints or push fit acceptable, soldering looks a bit scary to me/😕 Thanks, Gavin
It is if you're not a plumber!
Top man
Hi i love your videos. As a plumber ive learnt quite a bit as my companies quite limited. Where did you get your grips from please
They're Nerrad bro!
hi, do you dampen the soldering mat before using? thanks.
Great vid, if you could clarify when you screwed the two flexi pipes to the tap, are they hand tight? I didnt see how you tightened them?
Can you do a vid converting two sink taps into a single mixer?
A great video by the master.
Cheers Jimmy for plumbing tips, your camera work is also beautiful!!! what slide cam do u use? cheers sandy
Looks like a Panasonic HCX1
SDG Electronics cheers
very nice
would be better if you'd weld a copper fittings with thread on those copper pipes coming from wall and just bought longer flexi hoses to connect! that way its easier to disconnect and move the cabinet away from wall, otherwise if you need to move the cabinet you have to unsolder the 90deg bends
Have you got any videos on push taps? I’ve got a set of diva ones at the school I work at and the cold side always gets stuck. We had a set of swan taps before that were a nightmare to use as they were always scaling up. The diva ones I can’t seem to get into the workings in the head to either tighten the spring or clean it out.
Do you have any tips for space saving ideas for cloakrooms? I am planning to place a surface sink on top of a WC Unit, the only issue I have is the trap being in the way of the flush unit..
The guy on the video is really handsome his blue eyes 😘😘 and love his accent
Never seen a mixer tap fitted ,the great vid shows the flexi pipes fitted, is there any way to tighten them, ? as they look like a leak waiting to happen
Great video James,there’s so many comments I couldn’t see if the question I want to ask was already asked,I’m referring to the trap think you called it a Mac valve I presume it’s McAlpine it’s like a bottle trap but it’s straight down,I looked on Graham’s plumbing site and couldn’t see one like that.Could you tell me where you obtained one.Thanks Lenny.

Nice
I have just bought a ceramic basin for the bathroom that just has a hole for the overflow. What sort of trap will I need, is there one where you have a hose that connects the overflow to the trap? I removed the old sink following your videos, first time I have attempted anything like this. The place where I bought the sink from didn't have a clue what I needed!
I’m trying to change my basin waste but the basin is already installed against the wall with silicone (nothing else) and there’s no room to use my adjustables to undo that bottom nut? Any suggestions? If thought about tube spanners. but I can’t find one big enough. Help me Sir James.
How do you tighten the pipes don’t like the idea of hand tighten pipes under pressure.
James can u buy a btu device for working btu per room some2 told me there is a device that if u bring it into a room it measures wide by length by height and it works out the btu do u know anything like that or what calculator do u use
what parts do you need to fit waterfall taps to a bath
Why don’t you use the ‘basin mate’ conical rubber washer to seal the waste?
That basin sitting there tilted like that is giving me squeaky bum time 😳
All gone fine though and still working today! Also I’m still uploading plumbing videos as we speak!
Hey buddy where did you get those wicked adjustable pliars. I need to get a pair!
They're from Nerrad mate.
What glue do you use to join both pipes together please? And was are those join fittings called also? Thanks
*It fits description.*
No trap.? Unusual!
What is the purpose of the two exterior side holes (left and right side of sink)? On others there is only one hole towards the bottom side. Links with the overflow but what is it for? Not easy to use the plunge unless one has three hands available
That valve looks good and seems easy to install but I can’t find to buy it.
Can you please let me know what is it called so I can search for it.
Taking on my first project and need to keep it as simple as possible.
Many thanks.
Hi how do you have the 2 15mm hot and cold feed go into a mixer tap? Mine has flexi pipes but have low water pressure so trickles out. Thanks
Could be your make of tap, it may need high pressure to operate not like a standard mixer tap
Anything on fitting countertop basin waste?
Why does my waste look nothing like yours?! It’s a universal for slotted or unslotted sinks. Comes in a few pieces. I’m going to try plumbers mait anyway and see how it goes.
Wish me luck!
Hey james, long time follower, first time
Comment 😁 I’m just in the process of replacing a bath overflow and plug. Can you recommend a good way or removing old silicone from around the bath hole without damaging the bath?
Hi Chris. Just go easy with a nice sharp chisel or Stanley blade. Thanks for the comment mate! 😎
plumberparts thanks for the quick reply. Gonna pick up some plumbers mait after seeing on one of your videos to use that instead of silicone. Would you recommend some ptfe too?
Is there any reason why you prefer to use plastic weld waste pipes rather than push fit?
Where did you get the washer that goes up against the Plumbmate? We can’t find one anywhere 😫
I noticed it looks like you ran the tap tails directly onto isolation valves. Is this detrimental to the rubber seals in the tails do you know?
What about incompatibility between plumbers mate/putty on those non metallic washers?
Hi where do u get them washers from
when using one of these to connect a basin waste does the soil pipe smell come up through the plug hole
I'm 6'6" tall and would dearly like to have my washbasin 10 or 20 cm higher. Unfortunately the pedestals and cabinets are all a standard height. I don't want a wall hung basin in case I leaned on it getting up. Any suggestions?
a question please , at 9:35 instead of soldering , can I use a 90 compression fitting to join the water pipes to the Tap ?
another thing I noticed that there was NO trap fitting for the Waste pipe 🤨
I noticed you didn’t install a trap underneath the basin (sink), in the US we have to under the sink, is the code in UK different.
Is it okay to run a waste pipe upward? It's literally only a very slight incline for about 10cm. The new sink I'm fitting to replace my broken one has a different water trap which sits lower than the waste pipe coming through the wall. So I need to use some corner pipe to bring it down a bit. I'm a programmer not a plumber so I'm doing my best lol
Should an S bend be put in the drain to stop potential smell from coming back up through the grey water?
What is the material you used to protect the cupboard when braising the pipes?
Ash it’s a Kevlar heat-resistant pad. Made for the job!
Hi there, wanted to know why didn't you apply a p trap under the basin
Why dont you apply sealer to the top side of the waste fitting?
ISO;ATION valve bit awkward to get too, could maybe have been lowered a bit.
Is plastic a no no then. I'm not a plumber, just want to have a go 😉 Thanks for replying mate.
