Where can I buy the pipe/paint cleaner that u fit on the drill from?

Haha! Done that a few times!

Put a bucket under the trap before removing. That way you can use the sink to do a quick rinse of the threads and seals on the trap.

Been there done that.

Or hand the trap to someone else to empty down the sink while you're still lying underneath it........😂😂

@@davidboyle9636 sounds like brexit….! Lol!

Cut the pipe, fit a Tee and fit a drain cock !

@@millomweb still won’t be able to solder the bottom part of the tee if there’s water in there…I like his idea of the spray bottle head. I just use a shop vac or pro press, but I think it’s clever

Nice didn't think of that. Thanks for sharing

I use a diesel pump with a 10m u gauge hose at the end of it and can make it as long as you’d like.

Was expecting him to give that as a tip too.

Spot on ! Annoys me the amount of times I see it . Not only is it wrong as its ’thread sealing Tape’ - it’s also a waste of time !

Well said

Cheers bro! ❤️

Yep - and screws screwed into plastic - saves cutting a new thread.

Couldn't agree more

Soldering is so easy lol

Cheers bro, Answering in the next comments vid!

YES BOI!

Forget about it !

You must have been the strongest person on earth to lift a grifter 💪

@@dillsplosion5334 Nah just make sure you're out with mates and it's downhill to home🤣

Handy for fixing reservoirs in shower units

Do you mean Jet Lube?

@@45graham45 Yes that was a typo Jet Lube V-2 plus

I've installed my own CH. I made an air trap - in such a way as it self-bleeds the system. One leg of it has a piece of 10mm pipe - that's the only piece I forgot to put inserts in !

Cheers man!

Using jointing compound on a compression fitting shouldn't be necessary, but done properly as demonstrated by James minimises the chances of leaks should the mating surfaces not be perfect as is often the case with many cheap nickel plated fittings. A job done badly, i.e. getting compound inside the pipe, is just that.

Hi John, agreed it shouldn't be necessary to use compound on a compression joint but it is not a problem if it is applied to the pipe and not the fitting. This also applies to flux for soldering. Thanks, Bob.

depends on the brand , conex dont , but cheap tool station do .

Me too, 5 year apprenticeship 1960, would have been sacked if I had followed any of this advice.

That got me triggered to.lol.

@@anthony342 No! if a press fitting needs any compound or tape, its just junk!

@@erikt9677 you dont use anything on push fit pal

Yes. Burrs on the inside cause ebbs and flows like in rivers and this causes spot errosion in copper pipes over time from the inside. Many cylindrical deburrers (as oppsed to pen type deburrers) debur both inner and outer sides of pipe at the same time

Debuting will also reduce noise, caused when the water flowing over the burr….

That's what the deburring tool on your pipe cutter is for ;)

deburr the inner part of the copper to prevent sound to, makes a big differents in how it will sound using water.

@@millomweb unfortunately my two pipe cutters don’t have a deburring tool attached so I have just bought a deburring pencil. Great bit of kit.

Sorry forgot to say Thanks v much

You don't need PTFE tape on compression fittings. They're precision made fittings and as long as the pipe fits squarely into the body of the fitting then it won't leak. I was an electrician/plumber for some years, I retired about 15 years ago at the age of 48, but during my working life I worked on many houses built in the late 50's early 60's and onwards and most of them still had their original compression fittings. None of the original fittings had PTFE tape or any kind of sealing compound on them as these products didn't exist back then. You would sometimes come across hemp seals in other fittings or a toilet soil pipe sealed with putty and paint. The only time I would use PTFE tape on a normal compression fitting is if I was connecting a new compression fitting/body to an old nut where the olive was embedded into the copper pipe. Of course, there are many other uses for PTFE tape in plumbing.

@@truthseeker7794 they used boss white back then on most compression fittings . seen red lead used as well

@@anthony342 I only ever saw it on bigger fittings such as tank connectors and back boilers with the old 1inch copper. Yes I remember my dad using red lead on the immersion heater thread.

@@truthseeker7794 you sir are somebody who knows about plumbing just from that reply

Where can I buy the copper pipe cleaning drill attachment please?....hold tight!!
