Use "MJTIFF" at checkout to get the Unilite SLR-1750 for £50........ Bargain that!!!!!

I am neither a DIYer or a plumber, I sit in an office all day, but something about these videos really interests me! Cheers for another good one Mark

Another amazing video Mark, every apprentice should watch how you hung that rad clear and simple keep well Barry 👍

Great video as always Mark

Evening, as a DIYer I’ve done this when fitting a towel radiator drops the one down stairs. Nice to see a clean and tidy job. 👍👍👍👍

I have to say Mark, the more I see that bathroom the more I like it. Like the way you hang rads, so many ways to hang them. I like how you connected the two 8mm pipes, good tip that

Hi Mark, Fantastic film again, soldering, pipe work and the dreaded microbore pipe. I always tend to hang rads much the same as you do, great job as always. I ordered my SLR-1750 on Sunday evening using your code and it arrived this morning, was free p+p also. It’s a fantastic light as you say at a great price, thanks for that. Have a great rest of the week, take care, regards, Chris. 👍👍👍

As a DIYer (I know my limits), your videos are extremely helpful, both for theory and practical application. Thank you very much indeed.

De nailing boards, as soon as you take them up is so true. I have had one of them go through my foot before for doing the complete opposite. Never going to make that mistake again that’s for sure. Great video as always mark 👍

Referred back to this video to hang a new rad in our bedroom last week, excellent tips mate, all plumbed in and used some of your other videos for draining down a combi. All went well 👍🏻 I’m now thinking about upgrading other rads in the house 😁

Just grabbed my Unilite, cheers Tiffy!!

Order my light Sunday received it today very impressed. I got the festool kal light and would say the unilite is better. With your link it's incredible value. So a big thank you mate.👍

Love all your videos watch them all you say it as it is that’s what’s so great Those dlr-1750 Unilites are great and a bargain bought two great for charging the mobile and great bright light also keep up the great videos 👍

I’m retired now but I know it’s always a nervous moment - no matter how many times you’ve done it - to open up a pipe that you can’t be sure of! Great video Mark

I wanna go on my own and I feel like these videos are good prep mark 👍🏽

Brilliant video bud, and nice tips 👌👌👌

Nice one pal, really enjoyed it 👍🏻

Another enjoyable video Mark

Hi Mark, yeah I can relate to that toilet incident. My mother put loo blue in her cistern a few years back and I ended up having to strip and rebuild it! She hasn't done it since though, lesson learned! 😂. My unilite arrived today, well chuffed! Cheers 🤝👍

Nice clear video mark🤘🤘...just seen ur bmx video...class hey..keepin oldschool bmx alive lad👍

Top video again Mark 👍

Nice one Mark.. also recieved my SLR170 yesterday.. cheers mate

fantastic vid as always

I’ve watched a lot of plumbing videos on you tube and Mark your channel seems the most relatable and the most informative, look forward to the next one 👍

Enjoyed this one Mark. But I enjoy them all to be fair.

No mark I fully understand and have the confidence to cut pipes, just suggesting giving people a option , if you can turn something on and off surely that’s a better option for the novice, real world stuff and that, keep doing your stuff mate , love it. Lee

Hi Mark, another great video. I moved in to a house quite a few years ago that had 8mm to all the rads. Downstairs it was plastered into the walls, upstairs pipe came up through the floor. Every single one of the upstairs ones had crushed flat pipes, all at the same height, I’m pretty sure that this was caused by some over vigorous vacuum cleaning 😮. I did what you’ve done and replaced the above floor pipe to 15mm copper.

Excellent video. Thank you. How did you know which tail to connect to what micro bore? Does it matter? How did you top up the inhibitor?

Really enjoyed this video i,m just a diyer but after watching it i feel i have the confidence to add an extra radiator if need be.

Nice work Mark. Hopefully doing something similar with my lovely 8mm microbore next week. I find that in the absence of a Nerrad funnel, some of my better half's silicone cookware works very well. Let's not tell her though 🤣

Must say thank you for the discount code, keep up the good work.

Really good video Mark

Yep totally agree with the loo block thing. Blocked a syphon completely I broke the syphon taking it out, cost a fortune just to have blue coloured water lol

Literally just bought the light you shouted out! Couldn’t believe you got it down to £50! Cheers mate!

Grate vid Mark You should get the 8mm and 10mm pipe slices from Toolstation 8mm 26361 £7.80 10mm 28990 £12.99 lot easier and better in confined spaces and they are cheap. Have a good rest of the week see ya Sunday.

As if I’ve done the exact two same jobs today…. Moved a radiator in a kitchen and banged a new toilet seal in the exact same flush valve… I must do over 100 of these a year. Big council estate contract all with these washers fitted. Buy them in a big box and keep them in the van. Must admit I’m also all for 15mm pipe on show. Micro bore looks naff and is easily damaged by hoovers etc. 👍 keep up the vids mate.. I don’t know why I enjoy watching people do the same job as me but the vids are very engaging! 👍👍

Enjoyed watching that. When you add a new rad to an existing system do you have a rule of thumb to quickly set the balance of the lockshield valve? Or just set it at 50% open and let the home-owner tweak it as necessary?

Nice mate 👌🏼 i agree, 8&10mm pipes feeding rads looks ridiculous 😂

brilliant to watch.thanks.

Hey Mate what would you charge for the toilet job you did as the call out/ Leaking flush?

Nice one ordered my light today

Brilliant mate 👏

Love the rule of thumb for cutting pipe only professionals use this method BRILLIANT MANOEUVRE BOOM 💥

Hi thanks for the videos. When I first started plumbing 40 years ago a guy showed me the same way to hang a rad. The only difference was he always said take a board up in front of the rad first as you might just be able to fit the rad a little bit off centre but save yourself from going straight into a joist with your pipe. Peter Booth. ( non famous)

I’ve always fluxed like that I’ve tried brushes a few times but seemed to get flux everywhere and it was just another thing to spend 10 mins trying to find after just putting it down😂😂 top vid again mate👌

Great video Mark. Watching you mark up and for the radiator was fun even though I've done it a million times myself. What pencil do you use? I hate microbore pipe too. What do you think of chrome pipe up to the rads? It's something I always suggest to save them painting them which is a right pain come maintenance later on!

brilliant vid

Hi Mark, are all flush valve rubber seals the same or are they different depending on the make on the flush valve?

If I do pipework, I will put the radiator 60cm fahr, only if I put the thermostat low, the boyler stop working perpanently, get off the water is it enought? This is only 15 min job. Or I need to close the elektricity and gas too??? If I do pipework heat back from the pipe which is 5 m fahr, to the boyler and explode???

Hi mark great video, i tend to watch all your videos now appreciate the good work. Just asking are you comfortable having compression under floorboards. My boss always says not to?

Oh shit !!! Love it 👍

The aquavac is back (might seem obvious but just having an aquavac at the ready is probably the number one tip for all of us DIYers)! Another great video, Mark - thanks for all the tips. For the OCD amongst us, did you find that 8mm olive? 😀

hi m8 nice steady work does it matter which pipe you connect to as in knowing flow or return n yes i stood on a board as well lol

Good Vid just started plumbing at college

Nice tidy job there mate! Do you have a rule that you stick to regarding which side of the rad you put the flow & return? Also, thermo valve - on the flow or the return?

Very good vid how can u tell which is flow or return does it matter

Nice one Mark

Mark you mentioned about tool that helps centre the rad pipe before drilling the boards. Do you know what they are called?

Hi Mark , i was always told at college to heat the pipe never the fitting ? And why do you cool the fittings with a wet rag any special reason im not aware of?

Great vid as usual how much longer till I am fully qualified mark and you will employ me brilliant stuff.👍👍👍😊😊😊

Subscribed and liked 👍

Top video again Mark exactly what I would of done and do ,I normally isolate the flow and return and work live as it air locks without any pressure, system still full and live do one at at time without fully draining. Bathroom you did seems to grow on you as long as the customer is happy and they have paid the readies 👍 If it was shite I'd say but dont worry pal it's a good install. Keep the real world plumbing coming 👍

Hi Mark (or Marc), not sure if you've done one yet as I cannot find one, but any chance you can do a video on the complete process of draining a combi boiler system down and then refilling and venting etc as a whole process? Sorry if I'm asking too much. Love your videos and keep up the good work as always!

Even with a frosted windows in you will see everything from outside when the lights on. My neighbor had a shower next to the window and could see everything when it wasn't light out.

Just ordered one as iv just started a plumbing course and need to start getting tools 👍🏻 any other offers let us know! Cheers!!

Hi pal. When installing a radiator, how high does the pipes be from the skirting boards?

hi mate, cheers for the vid! what paste do you use?

Hi sorry if I missed it. I take it you worked out which pipe was the hot? Does the hot go into the thermostat valve?

Why don’t flux pots come with an applicator brush like other products. Great video mate, always nice to see a trades person keeping the areas nice and tidy.

Bread and butter jobs today then, nice little bit of work, 8mm is such a nightmare, so easy to overtighten and crush the pipe! But I do the exact same. up into 15mm Snagged one of those unilite's while they're at an all time low, so thanks for the code! Be interesting to hear how many were sold with your code! Have you tried those plumb tubs that wrap around the pipe? I swear by them tbh great for draining from the valve like you did there, but they are only small.

With that locktite 55 I'm finding it comes off a little when you screw the tails in. Any idea what I'm doing wrong please? I'm not a plumber, just a DIY enthusiast. I like to do things right though.

Hi Tiffy, there is a drain off on that boiler bud for future ref. It’s actually the bottom part of the filling loop, it drains the slave tank

I’ve just laid 80 metres of pipe, sick of the 8mm pipe blocking so changed it all to 15mm..good vid 👍🏻

Great video again Thanks Why did they use 8mm pipe in the past?

Hello what jointing paste do you use?

Those hiflows mate attach the filling loop hose on the heating side and drain from there its not an NRV so it drains 👍

hi have you tried plumbtubs very handy for draining rads

Good video Mark I always put lagging on notches stop banging

I wanted to ask a question and hope thats ok ,which is cheaper for a brand new extension being built right now two very large radiators or underfloor heating the builders asking him to decide ,i said rads must be a lot cheaper is that right ,The extension is 6 metre by 7 metres .many thanks if you could advise i know your vet busy,its in south london,

ive always noticed you using that matt for draining rads, i thought it was lino. what is it called, i can't find it.

What do you use to get floor boards up

Any reason why you didn’t jut do the new rad in micro bore?

that bendable rubber mat were you get them from?

Don't disturb the system ahahah , can of worms comes to mind. Good video.

Are you sure it was bits of the washer down the back of the pan? 🤣🤣🤣 Good vid 👌

I would have drained from the pipes u had disconnected up the stairs. Btw great videos as u keep saying real world plumbing

Do you have to lag pipes under the floor due to part L building regs now?

easier with an 8mm pipe slice ( I've got 8 & 10 mm ones) great video

I watch them for relaxation

There may have been a chance of soldering that 8 mm to 15 . I’ve done it plenty of times with water in the pipe , as long as you have a few inches of dry away from where you’re soldering, jobs a Gud un 👍

Great video many thanks, really liked that 15mm. Amateurs should turn the electrics off first e.g. loose wires into JB or water leak etc. (note you were earthed on the pipes which will make the shock worse). I've had belts as an electrical engineer and not proud of them. More dangerous than you think as heart damage may not show up straight away. Sorry to nag. Dumb question: where notching on joists might be unacceptable for undersize joists, could you put metal plates over the top. Use a router each side to get them flush. It's an American idea - I think they do it in stud walls incase you try to drill the stud of finished wall and hit the pipe. Liked the drain down kit, much better than stick on bits of polythene. Look forward to the next one.

Cutting water pipes above electrical junction box ... with the power still on?

Just a quick question. What’s the name of the device to help get radiator pipes plumb? I’ve used the same method with a pen but if there is a more accurate way I would love to know

Don't force cool the soldered joints with a wet rag. Solder and copper contract at different rates. It will introduce cooling stresses in the joint and increase the tendency to crack

Cooling the pipe straight away and so little flux is giving me nightmares 😂

I always drop the pressure at the valves where your working 😎

Get yourself some cheap nappies from Aldi great for soaking up water and drips when your doing snatch jobs ....

Loctite 577! Try it. The best thing that came out of loctite factory

I was always lead to believe you should not flux inside a fitting as the pipe just pushes the flux inside and over time will corrode the pipe from inside as it is acidic? I am a joiner but also do a bit of plumbing when needed.

Well I’ll not be buying any more bloo blocks then, thanks for the info 👍
