Another great video again. That tradify app seems brilliant I wish that was around when I was self employed. Full of videos of things that a lot of customers have issues with as well. Just a quick one would you check pressure in expansion vessel on any boiler having to fill up a lot. Might have been a f…k up but he learnt from it which it’s all about. Keep well and hope dad still doing well still

Good video. Nice to see you doing real work and in real conditions which are not always comfortable or spacious. I do like the look of that Wera Joker but I would prefer a rachet combination spanner made by a decent company like Teng. I will always try and use a open ended or ring spanner first if possible then it's the small socket set. It helps to look after your nuts. I know most people reach for the grips or adjustable as it less kit to carry.

Our downstairs toilet was removed years ago and where the soil pipe went out the wall a door was installed and conservatory built. I want to add back in a downstairs toilet but the soil pipe needs to exit a different wall and where the conservatory is built over the old soil drainage I need to somehow hook back up! I have 2 man hole covers and drains very close by! All my soil and water all ends up in the same drain (built in 1968) so can I hook my soul pipe into a gutter drain? Is that allowed? P.s. I can't decide between a Viessmann 100-W 35kw or a Baxi 800 36kw. I have 20l per minute out my cold tap.

Nice work as always mate, just a quick one, why don't you just use a bib tap with double check valve as standard without having to buy a separate valve? Would save you a few quid and time
@kissarmy13472 жыл бұрын
HOUSE GARDENS & SIMILAR INSTALLATIONS - FLUID CATEGORY 3 The minimum level of protection required for a HU tap in a house garden is a Double Check Valve. HU taps incorporating two check valves cartridges (now described as HUK1) are no longer acceptable for new exterior installations. This design is prone to frost damage so the regulations now require a Double Check Valve to be provided upstream of the HU tap inside the thermal envelope of the building (where applicable) and protected from freezing.
@PBPlumber2 жыл бұрын
as far as i understand it, if you fit one in the bib tap you need to protect it from frost with a cover, using one internally you don’t.

Like the idea of the spanner it looks well but my Nerrad mini socket set would have done it in quick time went to change a prv on a Worcester today it’s behind the hydro block what a shit design didn’t realise you had to take a full service kit with washers and o rings took a risk and it weeped on the pipe with those wanky plastic clips that connect the flow and returns up I’ve said it once I’ll say it again vaillent all the way does anyone else have trouble repairing Worcester’s took me twice as long to strip the whole thing down

The usual scenario with gas fires, is servicing a fire you haven’t come across for a few years and you have to think how the thing comes apart while the customer is sitting there watching you from the sofa, then you get the comment have you not done one of these before, or even worse do you know what your doing😆
