Hey Pete, im a plumber from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 I dont do much work on boilers and like to watch your videos to learn about them once in a while. Great work 👏 👍

Good to see you're back on youtube mate. All the best

Very neat drain down idea the engineer incorporated into the house, but he should have left the hoses off to provide an air break, the water meter fitter would have pretty quickly realised his fu then.😉👍

Fabulous little problem....thanks pal. All the best WHAT THE HELL WAS THOSE DRAIN OFF LINKED TOGETHER WITH HOSE PIPE !!!! OMG, YEAH HAW !

I normally use the same immersion spanner and a couple of whacks of the hammer does the trick. Always works for me

Filming that late night emergency leak. Incredible composure!

Great video. I appreciate the way you take time out, to explain things in detail. Respect.

Hiya Pete. As always, great video but especially like the drawn or printed explanation as to what was going on there. Cheers now.

These videos are so great, thank you

Hi PB it’s absolutely fantastic you are back on , fully understand your break 🤞you’re good to keep videos going they are brilliant

Great film Peter, thank you.

Top work Pete.great content.

Great video Pete glad you're back mate.

Brilliant, workmanship and the video, both are really good.👍🔧🤠

Great to have the Sunday night videos back again Pete fair play. John 💚🍀

Thanks for the video Pete, you explain things so well.

Another terrific video. Thanks for putting it out there 👍

Good stuff as always. Lee.

Good stuff as always Pete

Thanks Pete great video

Outstanding works and explanations Pete, excellent video pal. 😊

Great to see you back PB, Hope your keeping well mate

Loving the content, cheers pal 👍

So happy back P.P. Some good jobs ( interesting ) there. Deffo got the mind working trying to diagnose. I didn’t by the way lol 👍👍

17:30 Need to use quarter turn valves on those and not drain cocks for each one of those to completely isolate the lines. I am surprised they put all the plumbing in the attics there. Here in Texas we have no frost line per se. Although we have gotten down to -20C at times, our fix is to let the facuets drip slightly to keep water moving that is warmer, and prevents freezing of the pipes. 🤠👍

@ 6:46 this type of water pressure regulator does not need to freeze to fail ... they are of poor quality in general ... and during the load they do not maintain the regulated pressure on them ... the ones in the D06F series from Honeywell are much more stable - moreover, with any gas or water regulator, the larger the diameter of the internal membrane, the more they can deliver fluids at high flow rates with the pressure regulated on them stable and have minimal pressure drop in case the pressure difference between the inlet and output is small… A good way to choose a quality pressure regulator is to choose the one that has the largest diameter in the area where the membrane inside is located

Great vid - Working up in Scotland now and nearly all H/W cylinders I work on have a drain off's that are hard plumbed - ie 15mm copper going to an outside wall. Must be a Scottish thing but makes draining down so much easier and I try and do my installs the same way.

Really helpful my friend.

Drain cock system looks like a setup for somebody who goes on holiday for long periods in winter and is paranoid about freezing pipes and resulting flooding

Labels would be handy.. good work practice..is always good

@ 6:00 I only use HONEYWELL D06F series of PRV - the one with the stranier at the bottom - if the water main has very high pressure, then I use the version with the brass filter housing😊

Good job mate, don't know how you do the work with one hand and video 😂 👍

Hi Pete.. Always a relief when you can stop the water in a stressful situation for a customer, especially when you come across an unusual situation. Ref cylinder - Black rust/corrossion. Are those cylinders steel and glass lined ? If so there is a possibility that the glass lining has cracked creating excessive corrossion to the cylinder itself and possibly causing a structual weakness ? Take care

If it was an old engineer could have linked them together if system air locked. Keep out side drain off shut and mains pressure to blow air out of rads or hot water taps. Seen it before

May have been better if the drain pipe to outside did not have a drain tap on it 😟. Yes some of those immersion heaters don't want to come out very easy . 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Nice. Lemon tea, nice too. 👍

Have a like even before the intros over

👍👍🤜🤠

First 🎉🎉

I would have thought the unvented cylinders would be stainless ? Being plain steel is poor quality

Just a thought regarding the hose pipe linking the drain points. Would that potentially be against water regs? Surely that would be link a filling loop on a pressured heating system. You'd need a check valve and removable link. Only a thought.

Connecting those drain valves together doesn't help with backflow prevention, looks risky to me...

Start a podcast already !

He was from the future but the wish version 😂

Was the vessel two small??

Was that a glass lined cylinder

How much you charging for that call out just before bed , plus you got soaked. Call out plus danger money on top lol

Garden hose for pipe work?! Who on earth did that?!

Those drain offs that u british fit are nothing but problems,i know ur tight for space but always try nd plan for a lever valve!! Just saying

The mistake was the drain cock outside. Ignoring the contamination concern.

Screams DIY

His contaminated his water with inhibitor and heating water 😂 if he did 2 external draincocks 1 for central heating and 1 for potable then cool. But they're potentially killing themselves.
