not the shavings flying into your coffee as you drilled ... lol

On the Essex flange,I always used to draw around the external rubber seal before final fixing to give me a position so I new it was all central on final tightening. Good videos, keep ‘em coming

Did you get those copper shavings in your tea doing that flange lol

You should use a flue brush when installing the flange instead of wire,works very well 👍.

Solder ring fittings - you've got Lawton fittings, so they will work as designed 🤘 no need to add any solder. Just flux and heat till you see the ring 🤪. I've had cheep ones fail though 💩. I rarely use them anyway but when I do I use ones I can trust 👍

Nice sort on the mug of tea whilst drilling Pete 😂 great content to get us ready for what next week will throw at us 👊🏻

Thanks from Spain

Hello there Pete! Thanks for another video I do enjoy and learn a lot from them here in 🇿🇦

Great content as always, not done a Essex flange in ages, Got a Surrey flange to fit on Thursday. Thanks for taking the time to make the video Pete

Great video again thanks nice to see you doing regular content again the Essex flange was interesting to see

I get anxious just watching you do it😂

Great vid again mate keep them coming 🔥🔥

Solder fittings are good. I add a little bit extra solder if I see its not fully wrapped around, but generally it always does.

Mate great video as always. I saw so much copper land in your tea drilling the hole in the cylinder 😅

Great vid , You just pull the wire towards yourself firmly when finished on Essex flange it folds the legs back on itself and comes out (as per instructions)

thank you a great video now my dad knows this

I can’t even tighten a new immersion in never mind that 😂😂

I am a joiner, I normally use end feed joints, but do add solder if I use these Yorkshire fittings , but only a little bit.

Novice Plumber - i use the self solder rings - havent had any leak (yet) - No need to add Additional Solder

When I’ve done the Essex flange in the past I’ve bent the wire over and tied some string to it as a safety net. And also that wire is designed to bend with a bit of pressure so it just pulls out

Always get the problem where hot water not being hot enough when the bath taps are fully open (full flow). Have to open bath tap half way in order for it to be hot enough. I have the same in my house, I changed the plate but still the same. Great info on the temperature rise in boiler manual. 👍🏻

For the extra cost of solder ring over end feed, definitely DONT add solder, once you see the ring appear it job done, if you add solder just buy end feed 😂

I hope you didn't drink that cup of tea after drilling that hole in the cylinder.😂

Only ever installed Surrey flanges. Never fancied fitting an Essex

Worth watching just for the joke at the end 🤣🤣🤣

The scariest thing about the shower flange install is trusting in that old gate valve on the tank feed!

Do an updated van tour, I’ve just bought my first van and need some racking ideas!

Taunting the laws of physics with that wire and copper

I allways use a Surrey flange no problem 👌

I've done a couple, on my first one, i dropped the flange.

I’m sure it says in the instructions that the pipe should extend through the flange to the center of the cylinder

0:46 try flexible hose on the inside of the adapter, like silicon (dry no oil tight fit) pass washer over it then when its tight nut on pull the tube out of the centre unit

You should do a vid trying to get the brass body back out once it’s fallen in, id pay to see it 😅

Same as one off your other comments flue brush it’s so much easier and no squeaky bum time

When I install a cylinder I join the hot outlet into a tee where the drain off is located. The result is completely even heat from top to bottom. (Destratification)

The swarf from drilling the hole in that cylinder was going into your cup of tea below it,great content,how can I drain down my indirect copper cylinder for tic tank to take it out when there is no drain off,please advise

Haven't watched for ages; forgot how good your vids are. Cheers for doing them.

plumbing saved my life

no problem if you drop the flange in by mistake, just turn the cylinder upside down and shake it

Copper ❤❤❤ made from the ❤

Hi PB it’s just out of from this plumbing video, I noticed will you doing this copper tank hole those copper bits was going in your coffee Please be careful mate

copper shavings in your tea!

hi Pete am I right (remember from college water regs) that the cold supply shouldn't come from the mains and needs to be tapped into below the hot tapping in tank . because if someone turns off water supply would just have scouding water coming through shower ? I never hear anyone say or mention this when see shower fitted .

Hope you didn't want that coffee or tea 😆

Can you run your hot and cold direct from your bath to the loft, to feed your new digital shower?

Drilling with a wholesaw....you never know if its coming off an being lost forever

I'm an Essex flange 😂😂😂😂i live in Romford Essex 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Always add solder, those aren't propa Yorkshire fittings

I am a Plumbing & heating engineer. And I’m considering the purchasing a press fitting tool. I have folded your channel for some time now and think it’s great. I would value your opinion on which press tool to buy. Alpha ? Novapress? Milwaukee? Rothenberger? Keep up the great work. Regards Richard

Vault boy and bioshock wallpaper… I’m being to suspect you’re a secret gaming nerd Pete. Have you seen the Fallout tv show that’s out in April ?

Do you ever use those bacho 15mm benders you used before?

Connect the wire to your roll of solder

Hey Mr PB, Totally unrelated to this video, got a mate with a noisey T6 coming from the dash, and remember you had something like this, can you remind me what video, and what it was in the end? Thanks in advance👍🏼

With all that masonry. How to you insulate your homes? Or do you at all?

Clean well and flux properly you will not need to add solder..

I like the idea of reading but it’s about £50/guy per month which soon adds up.

I use Yorkshire fittings but I also add solder 👍

Did you flush the fillings out of the tank?

I always ad solder

What happened to the REMS press gun?

I couldn't understand why the pump was in the loft and not in the cylinder cupboard so you could take the feed off the household feed pipe so no air would get in

The manufacturer has gone to great lengths to add just the right amount of solder in the ring of the fitting. Why is it that people feel the need to flood the fitting with more solder? I don’t personally use solder ring myself much but when I do i definitely wouldn’t add more solder never have and I’ve never had a problem when using them with just the solder that’s within the fitting itself. Clean flux apply heat job done.

Brilliant ep. We're get some new stock press valves out to you :)

If I'm honest you didn't clearly show the installation of the boss clearly good tool your using though on your press fittings!!

Gone again hope the old brain box is ok

🤜🤜👍🤠

The presoldered fittings are brilliant. I never had any problems with them and never had to add solder.

I've always used reel of solder and taken the immersion out feed it through and then no risk of dropping it inside

I wanna invent a tool to help with that job.....think there is any point?

How many bits went in your coffee

Great VIDEO When I do this I take the immersion out and feed a piece of solder through and out of the new hole this way you can cut A smaller hole. If using solder ring or not always ad solder they should be alright if you get a nice ring of solder around the joint. Regards Lawrence PETERS

But does the absolute shite nova press app work correctly on your press tool

You don’t add solder as there integral capillary cooper fittings. No solder needed but you will need to clean both end of cooper pipe and fitting. Use flux to help the solder flow and join the two surfaces together. Hope that helps 👍

Why are you fitting it the air bubbles track the side of the cylinder to top. Shower pump attachments have tube that takes water from away from the side

Are you sole trader or limited

Squeaky bum time Essex flange on a cylinder

Hope that was not your cup of tea there it was getting bits of copper in it 😅
