Brilliant video mate. Just down a downstairs toilet with no leaks. Would never have done that without really clear stuff like this. 🤜

Thanks. Really appreciate all your content. As a DIYer I’ve used loads of your advice for moving radiators or adding radiators in rooms that don’t have them and followed your advice and tips on end feed solder. A few offcuts of pipe, a bag of fittings, some simple tools and time to practise has made me happy to run copper where I need to. A few years ago I replaced all the upstairs bathroom outside soil piping and the stack, with much of the answers to questions from your vids, plus the helpful local place I bought the pipe etc from. Earlier this year I replace all the waste piping in the kitchen when needing to fit some additional appliances and wanted to add traps rather than just bends and learned loads from you. Thanks for helping me out.

You get some people who use a solvent based cleaner to prepare the pipe before welding the components together but I don’t think that it’s totally necessary as long as the pipe isn’t covered in grease or them horrible stickers that they purposely put on you can never get off. I also find lightly sanding the end of the pipe helps with the bond but it probably isn’t necessary at all. I’ve never had any leaks, way better than cheap and nasty push fit.

DIY'r here. Good advice about marking them up, something I often forget.🤦‍♂ Appreciate anyone's thoughts on this, When using solvent weld, I worry that if I put too much glue on, then when I push the end of the pipe into the fitting, it will push the glue up inside the fitting causing a lip at the pipe end (inside the fitting) that may impede the flow, just like the burrs one gets from hacksawing? (I often try and get my finger inside to remove the excess glue, but obviously that's not possible all the time) Liked and subscribed boss.👍

I personally glue the pipe rather than the fitting where I can 😂 I find glueing the pipe over glueing the fitting leads to less glue pushing through into to inside of the fitting

do they not have sanitary wye's in the UK?

Your videos are magic!! Plumbing is the one area of DIY I've never touched but after a youtube binge of your content I feel way more confident now - thank you 🙌🏼 The only burning question I have is on solvent weld falls. How do you get your fixtures to get a proper seal when you create a fall, because they are at a slight angle i.e. a 32mm pipe going into a t-junction but the pipe enters at a slight angle?

@lexhall3039 7 ай бұрын

Tees and bends are available with 90 degree or 87.5 degree angles. Use the 87.5 degree fitting where pipe is laid to falls and the pipe enters at a slight angle.

A lot of the US based videos covering this topic mention/use a purple primer to prep the pvc for "welding" to the other part rather than just glue it. In the UK is that not a thing? And if not do you know why?

How many plumbers used multi tool to cut waste pipe? 🙈I’m guilty 😂

Sometimes it’s the only tool you can get in there to cut pre-existing pipe 😂

Usually using a plastic pipe shears does the trick cutting these pipes , a clean square cut without burrs or swarf everytime

Hi all, love watching these videos and I wonder if someone can answer a question for me, I have some green sandy crystals blocking my kitchen tap. I have to clean the filter at the end regularly. We not long moved in and I need to know it’s safe for my family to drink. Can you help?

@dylanbrandley7888 10 ай бұрын

Limescale build up, could be that you are in a hard water area, consider getting a water filter installed.

Thanks for your reply, will do that. Cheers

I'm a self-builder, new to this, trying to learn best practice. Thanks for the video. But.. do I really want globules of glue inside the joints, potentially impeding flow? (see your vid at 4'08"). Don't I want to be giving a bit of care to the smoothness of the inside of the joint?

I always give it a little twist but it actually states on the container of the glue not to 😅

@stco2426 10 ай бұрын

Yes, that's right, but I do anyway. Never had a leak (so far).

@Anakinuk007 10 ай бұрын

Also that glue needs a warning on the label. Don’t get it into any cuts or scrapes - yes it’s worse than lemon juice lol

From what I have read ABS shouldn't be used outside above ground as it is susceptible to UV damage.

2nd year apprentice here, and something I learnt through mistake is to not go crazy with the glue if you can't get your brush inside the pipe to swipe it around and flatten it all out before it cures. Had to cut mine out and redo it last week because I used too much glue... 🤦‍♂

eh, most my friends are gunk, I usually use a wood saw to cut the pipe, coz its near by, and I cant be boffered to go to the van, and talking waste pipes, I always try to carry one of them sockets, with the compression nut and rubber ring, just in case I have to go from grey to white, oh you know what I mean, cheers James, good advice to the non believer's...
