"Gonna wait until the radiators in the way before I caulk it" love it but why do we do it to ourselves 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
BCOS we are bonkers!
Thanks for all your videos , I have now installed 2 rads in a day, I had to drawing down the system and vent when everything was back on. All with knowledge you have given me.
Thanks to your videos, I drained, flushed and balanced a 20 rad unvented system in my new house I just moved in to.
It was a mess before, cold spots and freezing rooms. All the lockshields were wide open.
Water that came out was like a cross between tea and Bovril.
Dumped 2l of x400 in and going to repeat drain down next month and inhibit the system.
House was toasty warm tonight.
Hard day's work but immensely satisfying.
Cheers. 👍🏻
Top work mate!
🤣 "Need to do the caulking but I'll wait until the radiator is right in the way before I do it"
Exactly what I do all the time.
Great vid James, lots of solid advice and things to consider. Any chance you could do a prize draw for a batch of Em's sausage rolls and a couple of pints of your home brew to wash them down with for the ALE ARMY MASSIVE???
"don't leave pipes sticking out in the fucking way"
Quality advise as always from our friends the plasterers (y)
HAHA!
Great vid, I have been slowly replacing my rads with vertical rads however I also incorporate a shut off valve on inlet and outlet, easy when in a bungalow so if I have a problem later I can isolate every rad or add a new rad, bit more work but worth it. Had a calamity that most will have done sometime when changing plumbing.
Just wrecked out a kitchen and moved it to a different room now lumbered with the stopcock a dead heating pipe and a mains feed pipe, went up the attic looked at the two pipes, went back down and checked the pipes again went back up an cut the wrong pipe, there was a bang an the lights went except for my head torch, another lesson learnt😄
Now cutting a gurt great hole in the floor to modify the mains pipe adding a new stopcock and a sure stop so that it's under a trapdoor in the floor...pointless filming it as there was too much dust from the whizzer! Wife now Grumpy, she was Happy before I started, she's also Sneezy but always Sleepy so I can't work until she gets up....I'm 68 and still crawling around in the damn attic....retired engineer ? Don't think so.😂
James has to be the best plumber on youtube with out failure
Top job. Mr G helping things to run very smoothly
Love it mate great video mate really enjoyed the video
Top advice as ever. Going to be fitting a couple of new rads in the next week ...
Excellent advice - Thank you.
No worries mate!
Hi James, when is part 3 coming out regarding all the tips of getting the most out of the radiator?
This Saturday!
@@plumberparts Amazing looking forward to it!
Top work James you are a legend.
just had to flex the special emojis I get as a AleArmy massive crew member! Looking forward to the next live stream
at 13:06 you mentioned your next vid, talking about feed and returns and how many rads can hand off one 15mm leg, really keen to see that as i suspect my heating system isn't plumbed correctly, any idea when that'll be out?
aww makes me jealous. I've got microbore which i think is amazing but adding any rad onto this system requires the magic of smart TRVs and timing :)
Hi James could you do a small video on how you pressure tested the radiator?
Have a very safe and Happy Christmas and much better 2021
Cheers Steve!
Hi James,
Another great episode and an excellent job, thanks for the information and sharing your
knowledge and skills. All the best, regards, Chris.
As an older chap, I wanted to ask about the plastic to copper fittings under the floor,i just feel I would be happier if they were in a more get at position, am i worrying too much ,
Great video as always James, just watched your balancing video you sounded right posh on that one hahaha
Great project, really well explained. This might be a silly question, but do you need those Aladdin valves on every rad or will one do the job for the whole system?
per radiator
Hi mate, new subscriber here. Just wanted to say thanks for the vid, I had the same issue as you regarding draining so what I bought was a Drayton X drain-off tail piece... saved a lot of hassle as the drain is now incorporated into one of the radiator tails.
Could you have added inhibitor to the rad before you opened the Lockshield and TRV?
That's what I did when I recently fitted a new rad in my bathroom :-)
All the best James, have a good one!
I put a couple of Flakes on the 22 mm and see which melts first then i mark the flow.! Beefy Rad that Mate.
Aced it, Maverick!
Why didn't you use compression fittings instead of soldering?
Plumbing aside, that door is superb!!
Are you going to put covers over the holes where the pipes come out ?
I think this clown would need a subcontractor to sort that out for him
@@addloosta now now steady on. I’ve not seen James wearing a red nose for ages
You're welcome! 😉 definitely gonna get me a wire brush attachment for my drill , I've been using a file for years and it drives me mad
Happy New year fella Wheres the video on how many rads you can have on 15 mm an 22mm runs?? Iv been waiting weeks!!
Carpets and floor boards need to go bk down whif leaving me lol
Part 3’s out broooooo!
But basically no more than 3 rads on 15mm spur.
@@plumberparts appreciate your time cheers.
@@plumberparts can we have part 3 please 🤞
Hey J, where is the link for Part 1 ?
Just a question from this side of the pond, DEBURRING copper pipe is not needed over there? We find the turbulance is decreased by doing so,
Hi need your your advise I am thinking additional one radiator in my kitchen can connect to the near by radiator like bypass , thank you
Hi James .. having issues balancing my rads .. I noticed when you worked on the red radiator you opened lock shield 1/4 of a turn and said that`s it in its balanced position... what did you mean by that.
I was told to shut all rads and fully open the cold/problem rad first wait till hot and go towards boiler opening others ? is this correct
great video, please, how many radiators could be add to the existing system?
Wheres part 3 please
Filming this week! I thought I'd already made it!
I have 8mm copper pipes to radiator coming from the manifold in the loft could I replace this with plastic 10mm speedfit 🤔
Yeah. Nice job.
Is there less circulation in a drop down system or even in just one radiator like that???
Just wondering if you have any advice for me.
Thanks
Why do you assume the DIYer has all the kit you use or wants to go to all the expense of the specialist tools when the tools won't be used again?
James, have you ever used any of the liquid PTFE type thread sealants for radiator valves? I used some recently when fitting a column rad because I didn’t want to see the excess Loctite. I was really impressed.
I’m disappointed there was no mention of a clunge wall.
Question off topic, what courses would you reccomend to get qualified? I looked at one of these 50 week ones but heard really bad things, can you reccomend any?
I'm at college 2 nights a week on 2nd year level 2 plumbing and heating and still can't find a job. HOLD TIGHT before you part with your money and see if you can find a job first or someone who is prepared to teach you
Great vids. Love um your so upbeat.
I’ve got a radiator on one wall and want another one on the direct opposite wall behind it. Can I just connect the pipes to the other radiator ?
Great video 👍
Where did you get that fancy light from??????
Prob just an led strip recessed... its all about planning them to be recessed so they are not direct and the glow looks awesome.
@@robthesamplist
Thank you 👍
Not sure if you have said in other videos but where did you get the glass pocket door from?
yay .... got some long runs of 22mm 6 meters but they creak with expansion ??? how do I stop this ??? Thankyou
What would you initial thought be if a unventented heating system keeps needing to be bled from a upstairs rad?? Diaphragm issue?? Thanks
Hi James, love your work.
Your comment 16:42 about the valves on the towel rail needing a bit more tweaking to open up. I have that problem in my house, every time I’ve drained and refilled, one of my towel rails always needs some fiddling to get the valves to open. Any advice why? Even when I haven’t touched it or worked on it I have the problem. Refuses to refill and after some twiddling and swearing (and about 2 hours later) the valves decide to open.
Great at media, not so great at plumbing! Welcome to the new world..
I do like that radiator what would I type in to get it because I love the colour
How do you detect the plastic pipes when picture hanging?
Awesome video
Good Job
You should get Nick Bundy to fit you a loft light 👍
I think anthercite pipe and valves would have looked better but thats just me .
Yeah I might change the heads in the new year...
Hello plumber friend!!!
You need a couple of escutheons on yer pipes
Do you not press fit?
Seen this before ! More repeats than the BBC
Gixer, little harsh mate, he's getting on a bit in years but at least he speaks the truth unlike the BBC
@@chrisgunn121 sure I’ve seen that episode before
@@Gixer750pilot possibly but depends on what you have been smoking previously? :)
@@chrisgunn121 was on the ale army . Seems it went over your head
@@Gixer750pilot That was the sneak peak mate, not the full vid that James shared with the Ale Army on Thursday
Ouch, pipe grips on chrome.
No idea why, but I’m looking forward to finding out how many rads you can tee off a 15mm pipe next video 😂
TH-cam addiction
Don’t get your hair cut at the same place I did...lol!
What laser are you waiting for
A Bosch one from Amazon. It's the green jobby so you can see it easier!
@@plumberparts looking to get one too. All your tools are Bosch is that why you went for it?
@@petemo2266 Think he's sponsored by bosch so technically he has to say it :P
take a look at huepar also as that's the laser I own, but I like bosch also myself so they're probably very similar in most ways :)
I’m looking at getting one of those Jimbo, but there’s a cheaper one and than a massively expensive one! Which one are you going for? Can you put a link to the one on your Amazon shop please?
Lasers are for losers! Just use a good old fashioned Gary Neville!
Yours,
Eileen Sideways
You should not put collars on cats they can hang themselves with it.
First comment 😆
Morning Mr
Haha!
@@plumberparts please answer my comment sir but all i want to know is are they banning the gas boilers?
✌✌👏🏻👏🏻🙌
Watch until the end to find out why this video was late! Plus I've fixed where the pipes come out of the wall with a bit of multifinish! I lifted the rad to get the pipes coming out square.
