If it was leaking at the top. I would pack my stuff up neatly and walk away minding my own poke...lol Great work and very challenging job not many plumbers would take on. Cheers Tom almighty
Hi Tom, great film, I love copper but I’ve not worked with that size pipe yet. That job looked a bit of a pain, but you got it sorted, well done another fantastic film, thank you. Take care, 🍻👍👍
Great job! Tom you should invest in a cordless bandsaw. They van can cut so much stuff and super clean cut without sparks or many burrs. We’ve got the Milwaukee 5” and the smaller Milwaukee plus Bosch make an awesome 2” one which we have to of. I cannot recommend them enough for cutting m10 stud, pipe etc!
@@PlumbLikeTom no worries mate, honestly I hesitated about about buying one but since having it we use for all kinds of things. Even cutting recessed shower head arm threads down if you’re slightly out on your depths etc , cutting machine screws down or bolts. It’s amazing what they go through. I watch all your vids and you’re an inspiration. You show it how it is. I’ve been doing this a while and we all know how hard jobs can be and you show case that. Keep up the good work!
Your right about pressing mate, I do have a gun for 54mm, but I didn't have any fittings so decided it would just be quicker to solder rather than drive and get some. I have a press job next week which might be interesting, thanks for watching
@@PlumbLikeTom look forward to the video mate, iv also got two press guns, one for domestic and one for commercial. fantastic content. keep it up buddy
Thanks for the support Ian, I'm so pleased you are enjoying the content, I've been trying my best to film a bit more on jobs to try and bring more videos to the channel
Naughty Naughty thread protecter instead of a socket lol .brilliant work yet again jobs a goodun. Customers and the general public don't appreciate what you have to go through to keep them warm clean and safe. Massive Respect KOP
Thanks for watching as always mate, all the customer sees is a bit of pipe, not all the struggle of unblocking the cold feed and the awkwardness of the job, hopefully this system should be good for a while now 👍
I don't do to much site work, a few years ago I plumbed 14 new builds, I quite enjoyed it but I'm probably a bit slow compared to plumbers who do it all the time, thanks for watching mate 👍
Thanks for watching mate, surprisingly the copper is only a few pounds more expensive than steel, steel pipe is really expensive at the minute so it just made sense time wise to do it in copper
Thanks for the support mate, that would have worked, I didn't have a female iron in the stores and nobody locally keeps that size, sometimes you can only work with what you've got to get the job done
I'm still not sure about that rapid blue especially on the larger sizes, I can't remember ever having a leak with locktite so I see no reason to change, thanks for watching mate 👍
I grew up doing all the jobs nobody else wanted and it kind of just carried on, as soon as I could drive at 17 is when I got chucked in at the deep end, it certainly was tough for a start but now it's just what I do, thanks for watching as always mate
Nice watching you. But what was the thinking for not reducing the 2 inch pipe earlier at the top? Wouldn't it have been less faff (no cutting little bars to hold the 54). I hate to make negative comments but the big diagonal pipe coming across looks ugly. Were you looking to match it to how you found it?
I was just concerned about reducing the pipe size, it probably would have worked but being an old one pipe system I thought it was best to keep the pipe size identical, the pipe did luck ugly, I wasn't too happy with but at the end of the day the system and the boiler will need upgrading soon so it's not worth doing anything more than you have to, the client was just super happy to have some heating working again, thanks for watching 👍
It depends on the job as to whether I press or not, I've got all the gear but nobody locally keeps the bigger fittings on the shelf, I mainly use press on the power plants I work on, I've got some to do next week at a school, thanks for watching mate
Enjoy your videos mate. How long have you been plumbing and what’s your opinion on Vailant boilers? I’ve moved recently and had mine serviced and been told Vailant and Baxi are the best. Mine’s a Vailant.
I've been plumbing 14 years; I started when I left school at 16 and I've been in the deep end since I was 17 and got sent out on my own doing all the jobs nobody else wanted. There aren't too many Valliant boilers in my area, but the ones I have worked on all seem to be very good and reliable, I mainly fit Baxi's, I used to solely fit Worcester's but have been having multiple issues recently with brand new boilers not working recently and the rep not answering his phone and not keeping to his word, thanks for watching mate
@@PlumbLikeTom cheers pal. Yeah I had a BAXI fitted at my previous house. It was a cracker. Plumber said Worcester are hardest to work on and cut your hands to shreds 😂😂 keep up the good work pal. Your passion is evident. 👍🏽👍🏽
I think that cutters had it to be fair, I find if your not sure how much waters in a pipe sometimes cutting through it slowly works in your favour, thanks for watching as always mate
@@PlumbLikeTom carry on son your doing a good job graet training for youngsters coming along as cheap labour drys up perhaps more apprenterces needed we hope carry on the good work

The joys of plumbing
Tom your plumbing capability is 10/10 great job mate 👍
Thanks for the support mate 👍
Once again my plumbing brother well done on the videos
thanks for all the support mate 👍
You certainly take on the jobs that most would run away from.
Someone once said to me walking away only wears you're shoes out faster, I like to get stuck in and get the job done, thanks for watching mate 👍
@@PlumbLikeTom Nice one Tom.🤣
Tom you are a legend!
Thanks mate, I really apprecaite that
If it was leaking at the top. I would pack my stuff up neatly and walk away minding my own poke...lol
Great work and very challenging job not many plumbers would take on. Cheers Tom almighty

Not many would have attempted that one ! Absolutely 💯 gold !
Thanks for watching mate, a few other plumbers had walked away, I walk in and say, "challenge accepted", it would be boring if everything was easy
Top work Tom 👍👊

Found using press a lot better when doing commercial work. Than soldering
Can rent them if don’t own one.

Nice one Tom , a dirty Shitty job that we all hate but it has to be done...

Good video Tom....how come you always end up with the hardest most awkward jobs to sort out pal 👍

Fair play pal you dont half like to get amongst it.

cut it at acumfi point use johnson cup to copper then back to boiler
nice
Thanks for watching mate
Great video mate, do you use much press, anything over 22 we press
It depends on the job as to whether I press or not, I've got all the gear but nobody locally keeps the bigger fittings on the shelf, I mainly use press on the power plants I work on, I've got some to do next week at a school, thanks for watching mate
We have to drive 45 mins to the nearest merchant for press fitting over 28,lucky have built up a big stock at lock up

Horrible job that one Tom smashed it as ever mate
Thanks for the support mate, not many jobs get the better of me, some are just more awkward than others
Love what you do BUT WD40 is not a coolant for that. Danger of chipped threads
Fair point, I normally leave a can of thread cutting oil in with the threading machine I have but it wasn't there, thanks for watching
Your jobs look well grim lol
I do enjoy these jobs surprisingly, thanks for watching mate 👍
That was one pig of a job but you ended with a good result. Get them gloves on!
Thanks for watching mate, I need to get into the habit of wearing them

Thanks for watching Colin, wheres there's muck there's money
@@PlumbLikeTom very true! Especially in our trade
sorry thought it was barrel
sorry it was if you cant get threader in johnson st comes in handy
They are brilliant couplers, I use them mainly in churches for joining cast heating pipes, not done one in a while but interesting jobs,
@@PlumbLikeTom carry on son your doing a good job graet training for youngsters coming along as cheap labour drys up perhaps more apprenterces needed we hope carry on the good work
