- Day in the life of a plumber. In todays video I finish off the first fix on the wet room project where I connect into the existing hot and cold services. I also finish off the waste pipework and test all the supplies

But we get over anything. My late father who was a plumber said you can tell the decent plumbers. They get over every situation. He was right. Experience is everything.
Great job getting those pipes in the wall connected, that looked a real pain !!!
It was a bit tricky, thanks for the support as always mate
Tom your videos always show the “real world” none of these easy “swaps” pipes than cutters can go on, it’s the actual reality of day to day problems we face. Weirdly I come home and watch someone doing the same much calmer than me. Cheers mate
Thanks for the support as always mate, it's never easy this job, have a great weekend 👍
Good to see it coming along, people don’t realise how much work goes into our trade do they, you make it look easy Tom ,keep em coming and take care 👍🚽
Thanks for the support Peter, the worst bit is done now on this one, hopefully it should be all smooth sailing now
Great video Tom keep them coming.
Thanks for the support as always Michael
Great job Tom, it’s never great working to fixed points let alone having limited access and then the pipe being full of water! Ideal job for press but you couldn’t get it in and then the non slips! It has ballache written all over it and that’s just me typing it!!👍🏻
Thanks for the support as always mate, press would have been perfect but it was so tight, I did ask for slip couplers, It was one of them merchants where everything's behind the counter so they get the stuff for you, I never checked them
Another great job Tom, all that lovely pipe work gonna be hidden now what a shame 😂
At least we know it's been done right even though its hidden, thanks for the support as always mate
You and i know them soldering fittings are just going to get chucked in the van Hahahahahahahaahahah
You were right Keith, never to be seen again, thanks for the support as always mate
Brilliant idea with that bracket under the slip coupler on the soil pipe.
Thanks for the support mate
love your tip about id a cold vs hot pipe, so simple 👍
Brilliant but just needs a trade like a Sparkie or Joiner to come along and fully screw your pipes up after all that hard work 😇
True, it might be me when I fix the basin though, thanks for the support as always Mike
i like the black swan glue in blue tin, not easy to find, got large round sponge and quite runny. you must be still poorly tom, saw you using the correct tool again for bricks 😜
I've seen a few plumbers using black swan, I will have to see if I can get some, thanks for the support as always Pete
Another informative video Tom . I always learn something from your videos . Have a good weekend mate
Thanks for the support as always mate, have a great weekend
At least you got all your bits finnished while no one else was around 👍👍👍👍
True that John, I was worried the plasterer was going to turn up, thanks for watching as always 👍
Fab......you......las 👊👊👊
Thanks for the support as always Andy
Done well there Tom, got in before other trades, great work as always Tom
It does help getting in first I think James, thanks for the support as always
As always Tom... fantastic attitude and great content.
Brilliant video to inspire newbies to don't see problems only solutions.
Your a good man sir, able to utilise old and new school techniques. I get the feeling you reluctantly turn to press over soldering and feel guilt like an unfaithful man having an affair 😢😂
Thanks for the support as always Carl, I much prefer soldering to be honest, I am pressing more on some jobs just for speed and ease, it's nice to have both options open and I can pick which one to use depending on the job
fingers crossed for a video showing the final result
I'm hoping to film this one to a conclusion, thanks for watching mate
Another great one Tom thanks..
Thanks for the support as always Brian
😎👍🤜
Thanks for the support as always Tony
Hi Tom, a great film with quite a few conundrums to get over but as always you did it, well done.
As you say Tom, “no one said it was going to be easy”, another great job completed.
As always take care and have a great weekend. 👍👍👍
Thanks for the support as always Chris, hope you have a great weekend
Done a great job Tom, have a good weekend
Thanks for the support as always Steve, have a great weekend mate
Great job!!!! If that was my bathroom I'd put an ultra high pressure bidet in
Thanks for watching mate, it would be tight for space in this room with a bidet as well
The customer is lucky to have you 😂 there’s no other way explaining it any more .
Thanks for the support as always mate
We've all had that sort of tricky wee job Tom, but we always find a way to get it done. 👍
Thanks for the support as always mate, plumbing is all about getting over stuff, it can be very tricky at times
Looks great Tom 👌
Thanks for the support Kevin
Great video Tom, right up till the part you said ‘ its too hot’ lol, I think we have had 3 hot days this summer. The joys of living in Scotland lol
It has been a bit warm for me Andy, roll on winter now I say, thanks for watching as always mate
The Flowplast solvent brush is the same short, throw half of it away. Great video as always mate. What's the ratchet cutters you've got, I've got Rothernburger ones but they are absolutely foooked squeeze the pipe dunt cut it lol and they don't make oval fittings lol. Have a good weekend mate
I use the knipex ones, they seem ok to me, I bought them for Jacob but he didn't get on with them so I use them now, Thanks for the support Gary
Have a good weekend Tom. You inspired me to do a little bit of my own plumbing this weekend with a hot water boiler under the sink. Hope everything goes well cause the North Sea is in the way of me hiring you 😅. Cheers
Best of luck with your project mate, I hope it all goes well for you, thanks for watching
Bit of a headache in parts Tom but you overcome it, great vid as always mate.
Thanks for the support as always Charles, have a great weekend mate
Good video Tom 👍😎
Thanks for the support as always Pb, have a great weekend
great work Tom. thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the support as always Craig, hope you have a great weekend
@@PlumbLikeTom Thank Tom. Are you off this weekend?
@@craigs66 Yes mate, unless anything comes in I'm not planning on working
@@PlumbLikeTom excellent.
Great video Tom - super impressive how you sorted out the pipes with no movement.
This afternoon did a first fix on a basin hot and cold; turned the cold back on to test - what’s that noise? Forgot to put speedfit caps on the pipes! 😱😱😱Fortunately lever isolation valves close by, so not too much mopping up!
Have a great weekend!
Thanks for the support as always Steve, I never call them a leak when you forget to cap the pipes off, it's just simply flushing the flux out, have a great weekend mate 👍
@@PlumbLikeTomHaha! I must remember that!
Hi Tom , long time subscriber . Love watching your videos .
I’m an experienced wet plumber , we have recently bought a fully serviced & orefurbished external Grant Vortex Pro 36 KWh combi . I’m doing all the wet side & having OFTEC engineer to do the oil and commission. Just a quick question if you can help? The DHW outlet is 22mm but all our hot water pipework internally is 15mm - is it ok to go 22mm off that push fit elbow and then reduce to 15mm to connect to the existing 15mm copper ? Sorry for commenting on this video but don’t think TH-cam has a message option apart from comment on a video. Many thanks .
Ideally you should keep plastic push fit connections 1m from the boiler, it will likely be fine in all honestly though in reality and I do see it all the time where plastic has been used as you describe
@@PlumbLikeTom Ihaha I knew I’d confuse you with what I wrote. The “push fit “ isn’t plastic - is the standard 22mm brass elbows that Grant supply on all their boilers, I’m using copper all the way mate, just wanted to know if I’m ok reducing the 22mm DHW straight into 15mm (in the boiler) or should I go a metre into the house then reduce 22-15 into existing pipework. Cheers
@@drprepper8229 That will be fine mate, I always reduce these down from 22mm to 15mm at the boiler, I've never had a problem doing it that way
@@PlumbLikeTom cheers Tom appreciate that matey
hi what is the tool you used to cut into the pipes that would not move?
I use a multi tool with a bi metal bit, Thanks for the support mate
What merchant doesn’t have ef slip couplers in stock
It was one of them where they keep the stuff behind the counter, I did ask for slips but they gave me those, I should have checked, thanks for watching Alan
hows the house extension going?
Steady, I've got it up to the first lift on scaffold now, I might do an update in the next video
Solder ring fittings a waste of time TOM end feed everytime for me
The worst thing with no movement is having 3/4 pipework. . Slip sockets and old to new fittings. Ball ache.
True mate, at least this was metric pipework, thanks for watching
🤘😎🤘🫖☕️🍪🎥👍👍
Thanks for the support as always Wayne, have a great weekend
