Smart meter engineer here 🙋♂️ ironically watching on new years day 2024 😄 about to begin my boiler servicing journey after years of metering. Thanks for the video buddy, appreciate it 😊
Great video mate! Bit like crack, it only takes one Veto then you are hooked... That said, I think having a crack addiction probably works out cheaper...lol
Just come out my time and more of an installer you got any tips on how to learn the break down side and installing side to someone who hasn’t done much of it. Video is class as always👏
The tool behind the tools is the greatest tool of all. Seriously though knipex wera and facom all the way for me. Do you find you end up purchasing multiples of the same tools for different bags? When you spend on tools, you tend to look after them a little better. Everything has a place so you tend to realise if something has been misplaced gone walkies. What would you reccomend safety shoes boots wise? Great stuff place, keep doing what you do best and keep safe. 👍
Yep I have multiple bags with the same tools .. plumbing bag .. boiler bag .. oil etc .. easier to be organised that way. I swear by englebert strauss boots. High quality German brand. I’ve only had 2 pair in 4 years
The display was jumping and producing strange symbols which is a sign of the board going. Then next call would have been a “60” fault so it was best to change it there and then
@@ParkesPlumbing ah that’s nice. But I like everything in one bag, hence the MCT. I don’t like trips back to the van if it’s not for parts. MCT is actually a little to small. I also work for a boss so I get an hour for a service call, sometimes less, including travel time. For a small team of service techs (and I’m technically an apprentice with just short of two years experience, but I’m full time on service and repairs) we have a lot of customers.
@@plumbraider2265 I get you on the trips to the van. But because I’m .. let’s say .. vertically challenged, I need the hard case so I can stand on it sometimes
@@ParkesPlumbing i get that haha. I’m a little over 6’ and miss my old Raaco T33 sometimes. I still have one or two at home because they don’t need to be light there. Great cheap toolbox and great stepladder too.
Was looking at plumbing as a career change but heard with the run out of boilers by 2025 for eco heating some this the trade value (£) will be harder would like to hear your thoughts ?
Im from the Netherlands ...Here all new builds houses must be heated with a heat pump ...Im not a fan ..But it creates only more work for plumber’s/heating Engineer's ........For existing houses they will probably start using hydrogen in the future instead of natural gas ....Not much will change i think 🔮 .....More important is if you like the trade ...Try to help out a plumber for a few days
You'll be able to replace gas boilers. Where existing gas metered supplies are already in service. Service maintenance and breakdowns are still plentiful. Seriously don't worry gas is here for another 100 plus years. I doubt any of us will be about when gas runs low. Go for it.
@@rayc1503 Thanks for that, My alternative was to do electrics but looks so complicated especially with all the certs required, Plumbing was my first choice as I have a real interest in it.
@@smoothoperator6117 Electrics aren't to difficult either. It just takes longer in practice. I spread mine practical and training over 2 years. I've been in the gas industry for around 13 years. You live and learn. If you're willing and able you can earn well in this industry. You get in what you put out. With electrics we have an inspector visit every year to push all the regs which we never knew existed at us. 😂👍
@@ParkesPlumbing i do full house installs so the tools are thicker and i like to have a small glue bottle for basin traps when i put in fixtures i bought this bag but i returned it i might buy it again for more specific jobs
Honestly I don't think that bag is worth it, I still use my Stanley fatmax which I have my analyser and u guage and I have a mini sorting box with my fuses, sensors, screws, etc.... 1 bag and less to carry the better 👍

What was your favourite tool? ... don't say me.
Will them pliers remove rounded off bolts out of a plate to plate on a vailiant eco tech?
Parkes plumbing do you think COVID-19 affected the plumbing business? Like yours
Yep the pliers to remove rounded screws. Im also looking at getting the smaller adjustable spanner as a older trainee/shadowing an experienced sparky
What is it called....is there a link ? thanks
Pliers are on order after watching this

Cheers!! .. get on all the manufacturers courses and learn their products
@@ParkesPlumbing cheers mate keep up the good work love your videos👍

man ,you are a legend , Thank you
Great video Parksey, TH-cam legend 😍
Thanks for watching!!
Hi thanks for the video. Why did you replace the pcb? If u have replaced expansion vessel and sorted the fuse issue. Thanks
The display was jumping and producing strange symbols which is a sign of the board going. Then next call would have been a “60” fault so it was best to change it there and then
Great video again ( thinking of getting that veto for repairs will it fit a analyser and probe in it ? Got a Kane 458 ) thanks again
It will but won’t be much room for much else
And thank you for watching
Love my Knipex Cobra's all sizes....Did that 831 board need coding...?
Cheers and happy new year
Happy new year! .. yes it did
Love that Veto! Do they have it in blackout edition?
Not yet .. they just brought out the xxl though
Why replace the board?
With it blowing a couple fuses .. the display was starting to go a bit weird. Best to replace before I’m called back for 60 faults
Happy new year to you too!
Where would you use a 13 and 10 mm in plumbing
Boilers
@@ParkesPlumbing do you still use a bahco the bigger adjustable
@@Zimbabwerailways no mate
How do you carry your analyser? I carry a veto mct and my analyser just fits.
I have the analyser and other measuring equipment in a hard case

Don’t forget to run the purge code when you refill the boiler , ( before you switch it on )
P.0

Dont panic , theres millions of boilers out there that still need repair and service for the next 50 years plus...

Knipex twin grip can replace that neji
I’d love to give them a try
@@ParkesPlumbing mine come in next week. I’ve heard nothing but amazing things
Awesome bag mate
Cheers Rich
@@ParkesPlumbing clever way you attached the wera tool kit to the bag too mate.. legendary 👍
I use sports direct bag for life. Very roomy.
@@Richard-ij8ge lol
Nice vid mate but its all mostly new!? not even a touch of use. You must polish it all like Frank Spencer lol
Ohhh Betty! ... I don’t get dirty fixing boilers
@@ParkesPlumbing mine get shitted up. Although I’m an installer so the odd time I strip out a diverter or plate I probably lack the finesse. 🤪
i wish this bag was twice the size
What can’t you get in?
@@ParkesPlumbing i do full house installs so the tools are thicker and i like to have a small glue bottle for basin traps when i put in fixtures i bought this bag but i returned it i might buy it again for more specific jobs
Why do you like viessman out of interest?
Big fan of the brand and they have looked after me for years. Also the products are excellent
@@ParkesPlumbing they are good apart from the rubber hose
@@aj7303 agree. Glad they've pretty much gone now
Isolators drip aswell
Is that pull bar behind you...gime me 10 pull ups dude
You got it bro
It's about 6 inches rarely gets used and when it does it gets laughed at
You get it out twice?
👍🤓👍
Cheers wayne
No manometer 🙄
It’s in the hard case you stole the idea of
@@ParkesPlumbing I had that idea while you was still asleep 😝
Honestly I don't think that bag is worth it, I still use my Stanley fatmax which I have my analyser and u guage and I have a mini sorting box with my fuses, sensors, screws, etc....
1 bag and less to carry the better 👍
Whichever works for you mate
Good review though
Those are not boilers. Boiler start at 400 pounds and go up to 10,000 pounds and heavier. Those are thankless water heaters
Plastic Tote tray.cheep as chips. Can't go wrong
Your camera is very unstable, annoying to watch
I’m really sorry about that .. I misplaced my keys to universal studios.
Thank you for your efforts .....really learnt a lot from and experienced tradesman.
You’re welcome!
