    Great to see the return of the Pipe after a lengthy hiatus. Looking forward to more entertaining and informative content. Love the new animated intro but miss the "let's go to work" tag line.

    Great video, i personally, after doing the boiler check, would have drained the system and then stuck the compressor on just to try and hear any leaks first. Cracking job though.

    • @drpipe

      Thanks for your input.. prob I find is u can never hear a leak unless it’s so bad u already know where it is ⚠️ Thanks for stopping by , see you on the next one 🙏🙏

    Why is the servicing important? Is it because you check/pump up the expansion vessel on a service?

    You can not rely on a gate valve to making a perfect seal

  • @glengordon4271
    @glengordon4271 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Good video! I have a question if you don’t mind. I have a sealed central heating system and the pressure on the combo boiler gauge drops slowly over time. I estimate it to be 0.1 bar per month. 4 bed detached house about 15 medium rads.
    Happened last winter also however in summer months with no heating on the pressure held around 1 bar consistently for the 7 months or so.
    Most radiators are about 20 years old some with minor rust.
    I wonder what the cause of the leak is and if some leak sealant is the way to go ??

    It’s not going to be upstairs is it you’d see it coming through the ceiling 😂 also why you’ve cut and put them valves in it’s obvious it’s under concrete somewhere in ground floor if no rads are leaking it’s under the floor if upstairs ceiling hasn’t caved in it’s under the floor 😂

    Ive drained a system off before and pumped my gas bottle down into the pipework blanked it, left it 10 mins and went round with my sniffer on a particularly hard to find leak and that worked out

    Or also have used a thermal imagining camera and looked for hot spots in the floor where pipework has been in concrete and found them that way
