That was awesome how you made you and big G in the toy truck, great bit of filming. Plus it was funny when Emily jumped when testing the taps near the end bless her. Thank you great video as normal 😊
I had similar issues, ended up using no more ply - cement board that’s 12mm thick. Really solid stuff.
Been watching and learning from your videos for years, thanks for taking the time👍👍👍
Watching you setting up your copper pipe work is like seeing someone make balloon animals for the first time!! Really enjoying the channel. Thanks for all you’re doing here!
Top video James, soon to be tackling a bathroom refurb so some great nuggets and potential pitfalls to look out for.. After seeing your heat mat and tile under your soldering when doing the filler valves I was then waiting for you to set light to the floor membrane when you came to solder those 90s....
Thanks. Really enjoy the video's and have helped me know end whilst refurbing my house. Happy DIY'r
Absolutely love this
Nice work sir. Proper job .
Once again a brilliant video 👍🏻👍🏻🤩🤩
I think your Top Man! Confidence building
Good Saturday morning to you sir and your family from Wellington Somerset
You make it look so easy
When we did my parents bathroom concealed shower, the handset thread was to short to go through tile, adhesive, backerboard and OSB. Since we had already tanked we had to cobble together an arbour backwards to cut out the OSB inside our boxing
Brilliant video
Really appreciate the time and detail you go into. I thought I’d put my money where my mouth its but well worth it.
Thanks!
I have the exact same taps that were going into a solid wall. That was fun...
Love this video (thanks) didn't see the thanks button
This channel has helped me so much since moving into our 60s bungalow. This channel has given me the confidence to rip out the whole bathroom and re-fit a new one! I'm going to tackle a new central heating system off my new found confidence thanks to this channel. Just need to find a plumber who will move my boiler and is happy with me doing the donkey work.
In exactly the same boat, need a helpful diy friendly gas engineer👍👍
Thanks very much you helped me out on this
Thanks mate your vids are great.
Awww thanks so much mate. Means a lot that you donated some of your hard earned cash!
Thanks!
Good work sir
Looking good James ... 👍👍👍👍 are you going to seal the floor where the two 22mm pipes come through the floor for the bath taps ..
Thank you for explaining the bath taps I came acroo that problem my
Self
Great video James. I'm looking at installing a replacement shower in an en-suit, still researching types and makes etc. Found the Bristan Artisan Dual Concealed Mixer Shower with Shower Handset + Fixed Head. Any particular advice for the installation?
Thanks
Could you have used a product like Schluter for the tile backer and forego the plywood?
spot on fair play
great video as always! At 18:48 when you put the spout on, how is that sealed?
I done my bathroom similar recessed sink taps and bath bang tidy
Much easier to alter studs and mount valve to correct depth. face over with Jackoboard which comes in various thickness. Tile direct. Job done.
Yeah I'm just a diy'er and have seen most people do it this way. Mounting the valve on a 6x2 attached to the stud
TH-cam IS WORKING ON RESOLUTION. This was uploaded using my usual 4k 50p settings. I'm talking to support now....God help me!
I'll "hold tight" then 😉
Just did a broadband speed check to make sure it wasn't my end! 🤣
Watched at 1080p, on the phone baby!
@@fazerstorm-oap same here. Was about to bell EE over it
You saying i have to pay 50p to watch this video in 4k?
You can do one pal
Thanks James - doing my bathroom at the moment and this really helped - have you ever tried one of these? Nerrad Tools NTJS1522 Jet Swet Pack -
Thanks u✊
😂😂 that bucket handle😂😂 The random annoying things that happen at 8pm for a plumber! I bet at first you wanted to blame Emily 😉
Always! 😂
@@plumberparts I wanna know why you didn't get a close up shot of Emily jumping when the slug of air came through the tap 😂😂😂
I didn’t think you could use the yellow tin hawk white on potable water systems
How would you fit these in a dot and dab wall then ?
Does your taps turn on going inwards or outwards?
Will the lever valves turn off with bath in place?? Lol
Good video
Loafer: "What are you having on the floor. Vinyl or tiles?"
Customer: "Vinyl"
Bath levelled, battened, sealed, connected, tested.
Customer: "Oh, we've changed our minds. Now we want the floor tiled. Can't you just trim the panel down?"
Wobble wobble. See: Rolf Harris "wobble board" Or, er... Don't.
Loafer erupts with George Carlin's "seven dirty words" Proceed with caution. You have been warned!!!
Have you done any vedio on
Lead pipe
Main water lead pipe how to replace
Or from lead pipe 15mm copper
Else
How many times have you had your stop valve shut off
Could you not recess the ply between your studs? So face of ply is level with face of studs? Therefore gaining 6/9mm of depth on the valve? 👍🏻
I don’t think plumbers are carpenters. They don’t have routers 😝
Nah I’m plying the whole wall. Makes life easier later in the job. Screens etc.
Jezus wat a resolutie xD
I'm more curious to know how the hell did the bucket handle jump up on its own... Great work as always
GHOSTS!
Bit of a backwards way to to it. Not a bad way but usually you put the tap in position first and pipe it up. You can then pattress the wall, recessing between the studs to give you your 9mm clearances you lost. 👍🏻
Could you use JG SPEEDFIT PLASTIC PUSH-FIT pipe to do this type of job or does it have to be copper. Thinking of doing a simlar job for my bathroom
Personal choice son.l.
Could you do a tools tour
Please please Please someone tell me the name of the part that the water feeds into and the valve also screws into on these internal wall mount taps. It’s a 3 way knuckle seen here!
Might be a dumb question but how would you know that there’s no leaks on the other side of the wall?
Stains on the sealing XD
Jointing compound and good soldered joint they recon 50year guaranteed
The dilemma of the bathroom fitter 🙄
I fitted the exact same taps last month. The threads are too short. After a change of plan and a few choice words all was well and the taps look lovely. Annoying though
It's a shame most watching this video don't realise it. Going to do an explanation video in a few weeks.
Can you mount the tap to the front of the ply? That way you only have say 6mm hardibacker and 15mm for the tile and adhesive to negotiate
I’m honestly don’t remember now sorry. The one I was doing there was no way to mount other than the threads. If they’d had fixings to surface mount onto a ply pattress it would have been easy
It's taken 6 months to get this far. Will it be finished by Christmas?
NEVER!
The longer you take the less likely my missus is to ask me to do mine
Do you think you’ll have it all finished before you retire 😂
Viega profipress !!
Why use compression valves when you can use sweat valves
Why not hardie backer straight to studs, negating the pipe thread issue?
It's too thin and I cant be arsed to take it back! 😂
@@plumberparts fair nuff
@@plumberparts Hahahahaha! 😂 Like Richard I wondered why you didn’t use thicker Hardie backer boards and forget the ply and make life easy on yourself but this answer is a peach! 😂
Hi great video as usual but why is the picture quality of your last few videos very poor not usual nice and crisp.....regards Graham
Yeah it’s a TH-cam issue. Still uploading in 4k but YT takes ages to render it.
Just use moisture board and tank wall
I suspect that the designer of the valve didn't think anyone would double up with ply and cement backer....
Hardie on its own (so not 6mm) and a tile with adhesive would still have been too deep. My point is from a manufacturer perspective why not just give us a few more threads!
Dont know if ive spelt this right, but whats "Hardy backer", forgive me iam new to this game.
Hardibacker brand name, is cement board. Rigid and can carry heavier weight tiles than plaster board.
Can be tiled directly on to.
Can also be used (as I have) as a liner for a fireplace as it is entirely noncombustible!
The ones I used were easier than them ones must show u
Why ply plus hardiebacker? Could you not have put a couple noggins in and just put hardiebacker onto studs? They’re supposed to negate the need for ply.
I like to ply first so I always have a wood fixing wherever I need one. Means I don’t have to endlessly drill and plug! It’s my own gaff after all!😎
Oh, I was waiting for all the work to complete? The boards, the tile, everthing, everything...?
Is there a reason you don’t use PTFE tape on the olives after crunching them?
PTFE tape belongs nowhere near compression fittings.
Don't. Fit an electronic bath filler, fed via the overflow. Taps (mechanical valves) are 19th Century.
So you tanked the floor, then cut holes in it for pipes, have I missed something?
That type of jointing compound should not be used on potable water
Don’t need the ply there just fix the cement boards to the stud wall
Boards are too thin for this. 6mm is flexxy! I also like to play the whole wall for reasons you'll see in the next few videos.
Don't need the ply on there man. Just put the hardies sheet on.
Yeah I could but....the hardi's only 6mm and I can't be arsed to take it back and change it....all good now anyway! 😁
Viega profipress
I don’t blame you if you can’t solder.
Is this video super grainy for anyone else?
It’s just about ok here. I’m on TH-cam creator support about it now!
Also select 1080p if you want it higher res...But there's deffo a glitch in TH-cam land!
It would be funny if once you put the bath in you can’t isolate the lever valves 🤣
I was just searching the comments to see if someone had mentioned this already 😂
I thought exactly this.
Why would you not be able to operate the valves.
@@nw5835 once the bath is in place it will foul the levers, they will only be able to stay in a position in-line with the pipes.
Bath is in place (finally!) They work fine. It’s got a nice run off on the design so there’s loads of room.
How do you manage it, the comment section full of know it all that do it by the book, but when you look at the work in their properties its bodged by them to fuck haha
Fucking buckets😂
Hindi me batao
Sorry mate but Fluxuators are absolute shite🤣
What language speaks this guy? Sorry but I understand nothing.
So gimmicky now this channel
