I have a question on the hot water outlet on top. I want to install an immersion heater but the 22mm copper pipe runs across the nut where the heater will be installed. Would it be okay to rise the pipe up about 6" to make room for the heater? or is there a reason why the 90deg bend is thigh to the top of the cylinder? A Great tutorial by the way

question, I'm thinking to use the jackoboard as well for my shower install that's coming up. What do you use to cut the board to size? (it looked so clean on yours) 😀

Could you not get your arm out of the bottom hole to smooth over the top hole fill?

Orry, what areas do you cover?

Is that boss white?

Quality job

Nice shering

Excellent video, did my first Buteline rad extension last month. Its actually very simple system.

Very nice install. Love it,. And you and bailey as usual smashed it. Great work guys.

Thanks this is a really nicely done video. Small question is it better to do the flush or power flush before installing the new boiler or after. Just wondering if it is done before (using the old boiler to heat it up), the sediments in the pipes and radiators won’t go through the new boiler

Something to think about - I always thought a plate heat exchanger should be piped countercurrent Eg boiler flow top / boiler return bottom - system flow top system return bottom Just think of a combi plate heat exchanger - mcw and boiler return are together as are hot out and boiler flow If you leave it like that the flow to the system will be at the boiler return temperature ie 20 deg lower then you require - plus the temperature degradation loss To quote Andrew Millward - hope that helps 😂

They have a reset button linked to the thermostat. If engaged it wont heat. If you have a range cooker that heats water the water my get too hot and reset the immersion if you have forgotten to switch it off

That is a sweet install mate, I've just priced something similar for a customer, I'm always nervous about pressurising old systems

Nice looking job Luke

Why is the pump on the return pipe ?

So if the vent and cold feed come all the way down to the cupboard….why use a plate?

If the cold feed gate valve is open, does that mean that cold water is going into the cylinder as you are working? Or did you run the shower to the extent that you used it to empty the cold tank and drop the level in the cylinder as well?

Lovely install!

Interesting job - how are they producing DHW?

Nice work lads 👌 we’ve just done a very very similar job to that one 😎

Loving this plumbing video

Hi, very useful video - thanks. Just a quick one. I have a gate valve between my cold water cylinder and the hot water, and also the second outlet for a pumped shower the same as this. In order to drain down as you suggest, does that result you essentially draining the cold water storage tank fully, and then the top of the HW cylinder will drain?

Why is this called budget? Would you use part plastic in high end jobs too?

Do you need to strengthen the roof trusses if you put a tank in the attic? There must be a fair weight when full of water. I'm planning putting my thermal store in the attic. Thanks

great vid, if you were called to install a boiler but the customer was not willing to agree to power flush the system before hand , would you agree to the install ? even tho by default this would make the warranty invalid (I assume) and would you make note of this on the commisioning documents

Does the accumulator just have one pipe connection? So not like in and out ?

Great video for learning 👍

Well done dad

Can this 35KW sufficiently provide hot water for shower if two people using at the same time? 🤔 or would they need to take turns thanks ?

No need to smear the threads with paste, think about the next guy/gal that has to change the immersion heater. Paste both sides of fibre washer and that’s it.

Lots of useful information, im thinking of jumping ship and start fitting these but wasn't too sure if the combis stood out from the competition lime the 200 does. Having watched this i might give the 050 combi a go. Many thanks

I wish all immersion heater changes went as easily as your demonstration!! Many time I have had to use heat to undo the immersion and a big hammer!! Draining is simple - switch off the top tank filler and run the bath hot tap till it stops. There might be a small amount of water to mop up with a vac. I disagree with using paste on a fibre washer for two reasons. A fibre washer is designed to expand if it gets any water on it so makes a watertight seal even if the immersion face is slightly damaged. Putting paste on both sides negates this ability and will make the immersion almost impossible to remove next time.

Worchester bosch don’t touch them better boilers out there

Are they dropping the ceiling mate? Would love to be able to put pipe in like that but how would they board them ceilings?

Top🎉

I have uses Hughes plastic pipe for heating for many years and do kike the push fit connectors which can be undone. But for under the floor the insulated Buteline does look better as pushing insulation along pipes is a pain!. I'll see if it is available at Plumbfix or Buildbase.(Derby)

*PromoSM* 😢

Love the video, superb work

Love the music for when you was putting on the back plate on 🤣💯

Good job 😊😊

Top job , good commentary

Hi every problem you come across I have come across.Like you mentioned it’s all down to 1st fix and forward planning.Well done it’s looks great and you can’t rush a good job lol 👌

Cracking job mate 👍 those tiles look like they should have been vein match

Lovely job mate nothing wrong with those flexible wastes, cause yourself problems otherwise

Those tiles are class bet that cost a few quid £££ top video mate.

Think i would of tried to get a coat of paint on those walls beforehand. I know its not really your job to do it , but for a little extra work it would improve the look of your work.

Installed my first one on Thursday, quite impressed besides the PRV facing inwards had me so confused for a while haha

Looks great for the money. Yes, the filling loop sticks out but of course they're supposed to be removed when not in use (?!) so it could still work in a cupboard at a pinch.

Looks decent on the whole. Where did you buy it for £600 ? Did you say it includes the flue and smart thermostat too ?

Navien do seem like a good brand. Does the budget boiler have the navien app integration as well?
