Nice work there Tom .good how you sort out your pipe runs and sizes. Makes it a bit more of a headache with all the existing pipes All over the place ..but your getting it all sorted out .👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much for the support Michael, I do love my job and to be able to share my passion with others is honestly a privilege, thanks for watching as always mate 👍
Hi Tom, you might already know this anyway, but scotch pads clean up the pipe ends a treat, especially when the pipes are wet, very handy if you run out steel wool. All the best, Pete 👍
hi tom, im a training sparky and even though i know nothing about plumbing i just love watching your videos. really interesting to see your thought process and i love your commentary on everything its a joy to watch
Thanks for the support as always mate, I watch a few electrical channels, it's suprising what tips you can pick up from other trades, they comes in useful from time to time
Hi Tom, if you want to silence the smoke alarm. Isolate at the consumer unit, if they are mains powered with a replaceable battery backup (might have a dedicated breaker for the smokes or might be on a breaker for a local lighting circuit) Pop a 9v replacement backup battery in and it will be happy again. No more beeping :) All the best, Pete 👍
RSJs are a pain. I had one in a house with split level floors upstairs but it worked out better once I’d got round by making the primaries in the hallway longer. It’s coming along nicely this job Tom.
They can be a pain mate, often you can't even drill them up without a structural engineer report, I got lucky on this one, thanks for watching as always mate 👍
You definitely not boring anyone, you actually showing how reality is out there , it’s easy to patch up second fix repairs, when it comes to first fix , you always need a hand , otherwise is hard to catch up with waiting clients 😅 you definitely got lot of patience 👍
Thanks for the support as always mate, this job is pretty pressure free luckily, I've about got everything in place now and hopefully the second fix should be fairly straight forward
You are pumping out some great videos. You should have put that Channel No 5 in the van and reserved its use for doing soil pipe/shitters - just a smear above your upper lip before you dive in.😉👍
Hi Tom, another great episode in this series, the job is progressing nicely now. It’s great to see you using plenty copper and soldering, it settles my ocd a treat. I look forward to the next episode. As always Tom, take care mate. 👍👍👍
Thanks for the support as always Chris, copper is proper, they are two tap hole basins going in so everything will be hard piped to the taps as well, not a flexi in sight
Great vid. Its always amazing how the planning is the hard bit, once you've got your head round that, the actual installing bit is 'fairly' straight forward. Nice to see your thought process, its a bit like chess you need to think 4 moves ahead 😄😄😄
Thanks for the support as always mate, I always find the first fix a bit of a slog, I always prefer second fixing, this ones not a very high spec but it's all good quality practical stuff going in, it should look nice
Great vid as always. If you can film the pressure testing that would be interesting. Might throw up a few surprises with some of the old pipework you recycled. Not surprised you had a headache with that smoke alarm 😒 hope you're feeling better now. 👍
The old pipework should be fine, I'm more worried about the stuff under the floor downstairs but there's not so much I can do about that, I do suffer from headaches, they normally go in a day or so, thanks for watching as always mate
@@PlumbLikeTom yh they're not nice I used to get migraines a lot until they changed me onto the drug I'm on now for the epilepsy. Only get the very occasional one now. Pipes in concrete floors are never fun just got to cross your fingers.
Hi Tom..I really like you channel.. keep up the good work.. Your latest vids remind me if my apprenticeship.. 4 years day release as it was in late 1980s.. You've got a great attitude to work .. without it taking over.. an important balance to achieve.. I look forward to your videos,keep safe and hope your channel grows..
Thanks for the support as always mate, I love my job, it does get tough from time to time and I do feel pressure sometimes, like you say its a balance, I used to work 7 days a week evey week but I've learnt to switch off, having said that I will still put in 15 hour days when I need to, thanks for all the support mate, it is greatly appreciated 👍
Thanks for the support mate, I really wanted to be a joiner when I was at school, my dad's a joiner so kind of wanted to work him, I sort of fell into plumbing in the end
@@PlumbLikeTom ...well you certainly know your stuff mate ....I started of doing joinery than fell into fitting kitchens because it payed loads more,then onto fitting bathrooms and building work so plenty of variety ,do the basic plumber sort of stuff but know my limitations ...👍
The smoke alarms are AICO , find which one is beeping , on the side is a slot for a thin screwdriver, push it in and ease it down and slide the smoke off the base. All the others will still work ok. As regards pipe sizing I would have thought up to 4 rads on 15mm , if 22mm will do 10 or more radiators. ?? I appreciate it's better to be safe than sorry. Keep plodding along with camera on a stick 😂😂
Thanks for the support mate, I wanted to split some of it off as there would have been 6 rads off 15mm, It should be easier to balance like this, I'm hoping to get the flow temperature as low as possible but still need to check the downstairs rad sizes, ideally I would set it to 60 but I guarantee it will get turned up the second I leave the job, the smoke alarm has stopped beeping today, it's absolutely typical
Get what your saying about using a rule of thumb not running more than 2 rads off a 15mm pipe run, but you see a whole house run off 8mm micro bore? Just a thought, great video as always Tom!
I know what you mean mate, in theory the days of microbore should be going with the new max flow temperatures but I'm sure they will still use it, thanks for watching as always
Microbore has one 8mm or 10mm to each radiator, you can't feed 2 radiators with 8mm or 10mm . 15mm and then split to 8mm or 10mm . If you consider the volume of a 22mm pipe has 314mm squared a 10mm pipe has 50mm squared so 7 runs of 10mm has the same volume. So running a 10mm from a 22mm pipe or manifold to each radiator is sufficient.
Nice one tom 👍 new sub here mate , I thought I was already subscribed 😂😂 just seen from your last video the waste to the bath that goes through all the joists bet tha was a bugger to get in , did you just have to cut sections and use loads of couplers or did you manage to feed it all the way through from a different room , great content mate 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I wonder if you can give me some advice? I’m based in Hertfordshire, I have a keston qudos 28s boiler, the pressure sensor has gone but the part is obsolete. I can’t afford a new boiler. Is there anything I can do to get it repaired? I’ve been without heating for 3 weeks. The keston part is c10c217000 - is there a generic part that would do the same job? Sorry to trouble you but I’m really stuck! Many thanks
Sometimes the pressure switches just get blocked on these, have you tried cleaning the end of it out, I'm not sure if there is a replacement off the top of my head but I can have a look in my stores and if I've got one you can have it, I've got a mate who deals with Kestons, I will have a word with him on Monday when I see him and ask if there is a replacement part
@@PlumbLikeTomthankyou, I’ll ask the engineer who came out to try that. If you or your friend can come up with anything re replacement part please let me know. Thanks so much for your reply, it’s very much appreciated 😀
RE: Present for the Mrs. This will make you laugh. Long time ago I was doing a big install in a empty house that was going to be let by a large country estate, brand new oil Rayburn was delivered to site. ( My Materials, not theirs) Delivery guy rolls it off the back of the truck on a pallet, drops it at the top of the steps and takes his pump truck back to lorry, i'm inspecting the Rayburn before signing for it and he walks over with a large cardboard box. " Here's you free gift mate" He says, I stuck it in the van and moved the Rayburn. When I got home at night I opened the box and it had the genuine AGA cast iron pots and pans, HAPPY DAYS!!!!. Big bucks worth. I stuck it in the garage and said nowt to Mrs, eventually I wrapped it up and gave it to the Mrs as a present! 25 yrs later shes still using them and got no clue, unless she reads this of course...... 🤣🤣👍
The free, unexpected stuff is always the best, the best thing I evert got off a job was when we refurb Lincoln city football club changing rooms, I got all the back panels where the match shirts are hung, I kept one but gave the rest away, they honestly look really cool and to a Lincoln fan it was the perfect gift, thanks for the support as always mate, it is greatly appreciated
