Another one .. id sooner put the isolation valves on the flexys first finding the right direction to turn on/off position and not ripping the rubber it's easier to keep them straight on the pipework only using two tools .. you'd be messing around seeing you don't twist up the flexys the other way I've come across many repairs where plumbers 😕? Have twisted the flexys up then tried to straighten them out knowing full well it's now damaged and yours truly lol will be showing up a few years down the line fit a new one when there bodge has wrecked the house...
@@johnedwards2608 here's another one I was always told not to put valves under a bath at all... I'd guess full bore if anything would be the way forward. As I said previously, never 3/4" nut and rubber washer down onto the compression chamfer, risk of damage not worth taking
been plumbing for 20 years and i never knew that thanks, my top tip, always keep an old liquid soap pump on the van, the amount of times its come in wonders to get water out of a pipe before soldering
I'm so going to have to try that! Never knew. Cheers Mark! And as for going on to normal isos, yep do it exactly the same, just don't over tighten like you said. Great content as always mate!
Well I've been a plumber for 47 years and you've taught me little trick I didnt know. Good video. As for connecting the tails directly onto the isolation valves, I always file the sharp edges flat to protect the washer.
OMG... Great hack! Didn't know that. The time I have spent faffing around under a sink unit trying to get the brass nut on and the rubber washer in the correct position. I'm loving that! Cheers Mark. As always great vid. Take care mate.
The kitchen tap hack is going to be a game changer for me , I must have fitted hundreds of taps over the years fitting kitchens , thank you sir that will change my life for the better , well done keep up the good work ..
I have been plumbing for about 55 years now, things have changed but that is the best tap hack ever, i have spent many hours try to fit taps like that one and wow what a difference that makes, thanks, keep up the good work
Genius !! Number of times I’ve Been under a sink swearing and dropping the nut as I try and hold everything up!! Can’t wait to fit my next kitchen tap!!
Well watched this the other day. Got two bathroom monobloc taps to do today. Both cupboard units. Tried this on both ceramic sinks and worked a treat. One tap had two bolts and still worked. Absolutely made up mate. Made it an easy job. Can't thank you enough for sharing that. And after 20years of struggling. 😊
Thanks mj for sharing the tap install,I'm 65 and have been a plumber since the age of 16 ( 4 year apprenticeship) its something I had not known! THANKS MATE . I have a plumbing method we're I use a black rubble sack to drain any excess water down under a sink or especially a radiator or tucking a rubble sack into a boiler so as to prevent that excess water finding itself onto the printed circuit board .its got to be a rubble sack not a bin liner as they have perforated holes.you can even place a rubble sack into a cistern or tank ShushWater finds its on level. Try it some times you cannot get a small ice cream container in under .ETC. KEEP THE GOOD WORK UP
Thanks for that, Mark. That trick with the monobloc is bound to save somebody a few swearwords before the week is out. Those non-branded shower units are always a bit of a gamble: yes, you save upfront but then the odds of getting a replacement cartridge in a few years' time, when the local water has done its usual trick and knackered the seals, are not all that great.
Was amazed to see this video pop up when I was about to replace our dripping mono bloc kitchen tap today. Unfortunately could not get the horse shoe bracket through so had to resort to the old under sink method. On watching your video again I think the reason was the horse shoe bracket had only a small opening. Looking at replacement fixing kits they appear to have a much wider opening ( less of a ring) so next time will hopefully work with a wider opening bracket so less bracket to feed through the hole.
Been plumbing since I was 15 and I’m 73 now. Fitted a mono block tap today and tried this hack. Went straight in. Fantastic. You have saved my blood pressure. Cheers Mark.
Well that's a nice little trick for the kitchen faucet. I've been lucky so far that I've got long arms and can reach to assemble this, but now this can go in my box of tricks.
i watch these type videos now and then and have picked up nothing i do not already know. (plumbing for 30 years!! ) up until that kitchen tap hack!!!! cheers pal
Top work again mark finding that brass shaving in the shower valve, how many would of just replaced the unit and yes Victoria plum a company I wouldn’t buy a tap washer from after there latest antics, they are not to be confused with Victoria plumbing who is a completely separate company
Great vid, if you’d disconnected the copper straight connector to the tap, you’d have been able to unscrew that tail from the pipe, making it simple to lift out the old tap..
Thanks for showing us that trick. I never knew you could do that the amount of times I tried fiddling put those plates on. Thanks again for showing us I was amazed
Hi Gary from the UK here just wanted to say Great video very interesting and informative, I'm an old heating engineer and I think it was a great tip for the kitchen sink trap, they were always a pain in the neck
Hi Mark, a great jobbing film, very enjoyable, well done with the shower valve, a top bit of detective work there. I don’t remember ever seeing the flapper valve in the toilet cistern before, I am getting old and my memory is not as good these days. I am a big fan of the Thomas Dudley components, in my opinion it’s a quality product. I have used the tap hack on lots of occasions, my dad showed me that years ago, it’s always good to be reminded and have a refresher, thanks for that. A great film thank you, as always take care, regards, Chris. 👍👍👍
I knew that, but forgot about it as its something as a Diy'er I don't do that often😂. Thanks for reminding us, and being an honest bloke helping Joe average❤
Bro that was an amazing hack. I would never of thought of that. I fit so many kitchin sinks with working in a student accommodation building. I will definatly use this hack in the future. Thank you so much keep up the good work.
Thank you. Have spent ages trying to get taps connected. Funny. I go to change taps arrange day and time. Customers seem never to make space under their sinks!
Shower valve could be an issue when it needs replacing in a few years time might be hard to get hold off, if I was him purchase a valve now as a spare could save a lot of agrow taking tiles off the wall and replacing the whole unit, dont know who done his tileing but he needs to come round and finish it off, grouting is tearable. Great video and like the top tip regarding sink tap.
All you need to do with the ballofix valve is, file the face of the thread flat just to take the sharp edge off, then you can safely fit the flexi, done it loads of times, no issues (as you say)
Good tip - I'll try the sink tap fix next time. But for most thin metal sinks there is a plastic bracing washer to give the tape more stability so that cannot go through the hole!! Also when the tap is mounted in the worktop its under the sink I go!!
Obviously the bracing bracket (if needed) won’t go through the whole…… it wasn’t needed on this sink as you can see. And to be honest most new stainless steel sinks are a lot stronger…. It’s the cheap ones that flex that you must of fitted to need the brace Richard.
@@MJTiffPlumbing Cheers for that..Could I ask how long the sockets are in that kit of yours please? I need a 11mm extra deep socket but I can't find one, only a box spanner...you can get 10mm and 12mm extra deep sockets, no problem, but no body seems to do 11mm
@@MJTiffPlumbing Turns out the real problem was undoing the brass nut on the existing/ old monoblock tap...Luckily a standard deep socket fitted, but what a palaver! After much cursing and struggling, the threaded bar and nut unscrewed out of the bottom of the tap... Fitting the new one was relatively straightforward although the sink material was too thick to use the trick shown in the video... One tip to others who are only changing the odd tap now and again: Silverline do a long reach set that is like a very thin box spanner that takes interchangable sockets at the business end for about £13 and it works a treat. The lower end of the box spanner main body has a sort of flip lever to turn the spanner. This is pinned on and if you knock the pin out, the part that remains fits nicely into a 10mm (or 11mm?) deep socket, meaning you can now use a ratchet on it! This makes whole tool much more convenient to use...
A lot of plumbers work on their own, so they rarely get to work with others who can share their little tricks with one another. That's why TH-cam is a fantastic resource to learn and improve your methods. Now as for the installation of the lock shields. If , like in this job, you are connecting flexi's with a rubber hose - I always used to (retired now) flatten the sharp edge off by putting some 400 grit emery cloth on a flat surface (usually the worktop) and carefully pulling and pushing the lock shield back and forth. This gets rid of the sharp edge (designed for compression) pretty effectively and gives a nice flat surface to the valve for the rubber washer to face onto. I know you can get away with not doing it, but bare in mind the sharp edge will cut into the rubber washer and shorten its life span. It's just a few more minutes work and I think, worth it. As for the trap in the sink trick - yes, of course i've done it ! I've even turned the blood tap on to clean the trap if it's manked up !! Best thing is to put it in the bucket or basin ! Good video and I miss the work.
good info MJ, you know i swapped out 4 rads in bedrooms then find out a mate got a new job a while back as a rep at K-rad so could of got a good deal dam it, but I've got a new plan

I use spare rad valve tails in ball valves as they have a flat face for flexi's
Yep that works a treat
Diy perspective, THATS MEGA!!!
Trade perspective it’s mega aswell🤣👍🏼
Great work and well done. Careful assessment is vital when examining small parts. A great result Mark.
Nice little jobbing video😊. They make a nice change of pace sometimes from the big jobs.
Totally mate, nice to have a few days jobbing about

All you need to do with the ballofix valve is, file the face of the thread flat just to take the sharp edge off, then you can safely fit the flexi, done it loads of times, no issues (as you say)
Or just leave it and not tighten it up too tight, no need to even file it 👍🏼👍🏼
You can also use 1/2" 15mm rad valve tails - a godsend if the flexies are a bit short !!
Thank you, you saved me at least 10 minutes on a job !
