Why can't all instructional videos be this clear and simple?!

Amazing! Just somehow broke mine off this morning and instantly panicked thinking about costs of calling in a plumber 😂. Thought I’d check KZfaq first and this came up. Gave it a try and it worked. You’re indeed a lifesaver 🙂

Thank you! I’m a support worker, myself and the person I’m supporting just managed this ourselves with no experience and we’re very pleased with ourselves

This is the second video of yours that has given me confidence to attempt things I otherwise would have paid a man for. The extent of my plumbing knowledge is that water is wet so something as basic as this is super helpful. I wasn’t sure if I was going to take the valve off and water would go everywhere! Saved me a packet thank you!

Had a panic this morning after breaking mine off by accident, glad to find a video like this to ease my stress. All fixed now, thank you for the informative video!

You, sir are an absolute legend. Saved me so much hassle, thank you.

Single lady fixing my own valve! WINNER!

Thank you for making this video!! Very clear and easy to understand. My radiator wasn't working, but after watching your video and taking the valve off, I realised the pin underneath was jammed in. A couple of minutes with a pair of pliers, and my radiator is now lovely and warm again! Thank you!

OMG it really is that simple! Life saver, thank you so much for posting!

Thank you for all of your videos, they have been helpful to no end for me and my partner whilst renovating upstairs! Thank you so much!

Thank you for your videos. I used a couple today to fix a radiator. The best tool I used today by far. Cheers Liam

Thank you! Im a student and I just moved to Europe all by myself, so had no idea how these worked and nobody to ask. I appreciate the clear instructions. 👍

Brilliant video, thank you. I’ve got a radiator working again and I’m in the grip of the Beast from the East and Storm Emma at the moment, so your help was marvellous.

Hero! All other articles seemed to want me to replace the whole valve system, when I just needed the head. Ordered a new one now to fit tomorrow. Thanks!

Thank you! Moved into our student house months ago to find ours on the floor. Housemates like it a lot hotter than me so very helpful to get it fixed!

Smashing! Clear and simple instructions, I feel confident to tackle this myself now. Thanks.

Thank you so much! It really is simple! My poor boyfriend had been sleeping next to a radiator on full blast because the valve head came off and we didn’t know how to put it back on. Great, easy, simple video.

Fantastic video, thanks Al! One of the clearest, easiest explanations I've come across.

One again a really useful video - thanks Al!

Thank you, as a novice this was clear and concise. Loved it.

Many years ago I had to do things with my radiator like turn it off in a room, decorate, or just have it off as a room was being used for storage. I'm back at a video of yours again, this time figuring out how to put what I was legitimately going to Google as "number temperature knob thingy" at one point. I've got high functioning autism, and the approach to some simple things can feel initially daunting, despite having been to university and all that. Your videos are simple, to the point, and with a kind face that says it all. Thanks for being a whole lot of help. Other KZfaqrs overcomplicate things for some reason.

Thank you so much for this. The valve came away in my wife’s hand this morning and I couldn’t work out how to put it back on. Your video explained it really clearly and now it’s all fixed. Once again, thank you very much.

I don't have much money and I try and help out my elderly mom with repairs. Thank you for all your tips.

Two minutes long video and in another 7 minutes i had my new valve installed :))! Thank you Sir for your helpful video!

Really clear, helpful and without fuss. Thank you so much!

Another single lady saved by this guy. Thank you so much!

Couldn't believe how simple that was - I have always been hesitant with plumbing jobs but this was simple! NICE

Just moved into a new house. Your videos are doing wonders! Thank you! 😊 😊 😊

Super helpful--got me over the hump of believing I could do this, and I love Dereton's smile and gentle manner!

Dereton33 you are a living legend in the world of plumbing. So much knowledge and experience being shared with a wannabe plumber like me.

Your videos are brilliant - I'm captain chaos when it comes to anything DIY and you always explain things in the best way.

Very helpful video. Thank you

This is everything i needed. As i was regulating the valve, trying to get the right temperature, it came off. I didn't know how to screw it back on and thought i had broken it. After watching your demonstration, i was able to put it back on!! 👍🏼

Thank you, for your simple and helpful advice 👍

Amazing thanks! One of ours has clearly just rotten and fallen off, I thought this was a plumber call out. You saved me £150! 😊

Mr Dereton, you are a lovely guy! What a lovely plumber! And a FABULOUS demo. Now I know I can do stuff like this.

Still the most helpful man on the internet. Thanks!

Hey thanks, lovely. Nearly all of ours basically fell off within 6 months of us moving in to our place - I suspect they hadn't been touched in years and the heat got to the plastic. I imagined it was all far too alarming to fix myself (despite having done loads of other fixes in the house!). Now, I shall! Thanks again xx

Thank you soo much Sir, I love KZfaq!! 😭 I was getting frustrated and struggling to figure it out on my own until I searched it up. Thought I was going to need to call someone for it 😅 but I did it and I’m relieved now 😌 Thanks again. 👌🏾

I really like the straight forward clear explanations :)

This is literally the most helpful video I have ever seen on the internet! Thank you, thank you!

Derek, You are a national treasure my friend, thank you.

Thanks I just fixed my one only by watching your video 👍 extremely helpful video indeed 😇

Legend. Very simple and informative with the personal touch.

Mine's leaking so I watched your other video using PTFE tape so, now I know how to get the the top off, I'm going to have a go at fixing the leak and hopefully save money on getting a plumber out!

that is a clear speaking communicator if ever i heard one ! you are priceless sir !

Thank you so much - very helpful. I wish you were my plumber! :) I've only had bad experiences.

Amazing! short and sweet thank you!

Nice and clear, and good tip about putting it on 5. Thanks for the video.

You don't know how many folks this video's helped and going to help. Thanks so much and subscribed!

This is brilliant! I took the thermostat off, oiled the pin, and now my daughter's room is warm again! Thankyou!

Thank you so much for this. We thought we'd have to get a plumber in but saved ourselves so much time hassle and money

Very helpful Indeed. The plastic connection on my myson thermostat just crumbled away and I was concerned about replacing it myself but this video has given me the confidence that I can 👍😃

Thank you so much, thanks to you I got my radiator going again!

Just sorted 5 radiators with this fix. Cheers mate. Have a wonderful Christmas 🎄

Thank you for a no-nonsense tutorial 🙏🏻

Thanks - excellent video and very easy to follow. Fortunately I have those exact valves.

Very helpful thank you, pin popped up when I opened it and radiator now working!

Nice clear informative video thnx for useful info as I'm trying to clean old paint off em as it just looks awful

Many thanks, dereton33! This is so clear, uncluttered and to the point. I have already removed the valve head, in a matter of minutes (had to search my old grandad's toolbox for the right spanner/grip) and it was so satisfying. Now to replace the damaged bakelite one and hope that I can buy the right fit. (That superthanks... What is it? I'd like to give them, but it's a bit of a mystery how it works.)

Quality. Exactly what I needed!

Cheers Boss! Nice and simple,, straight to the point as all youtube tutorials should be.

Why can't all videos be like this? You got me out of a right pickle - I was so stressed - thank you so much!!!!

Thank you so much for posting this - so helpful, really appreciated.

Perfectly explained and videographed! Thank you!!

Thank you, you legend! I thought mine was broken, I was going to pay to get it fixed...glad I watched your video before I did 😀

Great. Think the people that owned our house did happy shopper repairs and I believe have put this one on wrongly on ours so the identification notch is at the back. Will try this once its no long hot.

Thanks, it saved me a headache and a stuck TRV pin the culprit, an easy fix!!!

Great video!!!!! Glad that you don't have to switch anything off......just put a new one on. Thank you so much!!!

Thank you mate. Videos like yours are very helpful. Appreciate it

twice today you have sorted me out,thank you so helpfull

You utter legend, niece broke the plastic part off of a rad in the house, been wondering how to fix it, the fact it was a metal collar never crossed my mind, thank you!

Thanks for a simple and pleasant video.

Best diy videos on the net - thank you :)

Thanks for that, anyone who doesn't know alot about plumbing wouldn't have known how easy it was (including me)

thank you thank you thank you. My radiator's ancient valve head fell off and crumbled a couple of winters ago. It's been stuck on max power ever since! No longer too scared to try repairing it myself now, if I'd have know it was this easy I would have done it sooner!

Thanks. I thought you could replace them as easily as this but my plumber told me you had to replace it with the exact same head. He said that there were loads of different sizes of threads from different manufacturers and if I couldn't find the exact replacement head I would need a whole new valve including the metal part which would mean draining the system. Unless there has been a massive miscommunication, he's trying it on with me!

Thank you! I'd been mucking about trying to sort this but your video showed me how to get it right first time.

Once again Derek to the rescue! Thank you😊

Very helpful. Thank you good sir!

Wow! That’s so simple. Thank you so very much

You’re always really helpful. Many thanks.

Great, very simple job! Thank you!

Thank you so much. This save me a lot of money. Your explanation is so easy to follow. God bless

I have just done the above and managed to get the radiator working. Just sent you a small something. Thank You

Your videos are brilliant! Thank-you!

Another helpful video . Thank you

thanks this was really helpful.

simple and very well explained. Great video!!

Thanks the issue I had was it wasn't on 5 which meant the pin on the value was all the way out making it very difficult to put back on

Thank you You saved me so much hustle I was going to replace the whole elbow. Thanks again

Thank you so much for this. I was quoted 65 quid to replace mine glad i looked on youtube to find your videos so i could do it myself

Worked for me, did need a spanner like you said but then boom…heating back in a second👍🏼 cheers

Thanks for this video. Helped me so much. 👍👍

Thank you really helpful and well presented

Your channel is so helpful, thank you

Thank you. Simple, but the video gave me the confidence to do it :)

I accidentaly kicked that thing off but your video worked and it was simple so thanks

This was a great help thank you

Thanks mate, been looking at installing smart radiator valves, had no clue how to do it, but I reckoned it was a straight forward process. n1
