I don't know who your misses is, but I gotta get myself a new one mate! Mine wouldn't have anything to do with those side mounted pipes, especially after there were two pipes smack down in the center already. Oh shit, she heard me thinking; That was nothing dear! ;)

It's easy to forget the production quality of these you tube channels. All those cut shots, music at the right moment, all edited up. So much effort. It's TV quality viewing.

[@robertwormald1865]

I’ve just bought a run down house…. Bros gonna save me thousands☺️ thanks bro

[@eficdbu]

Oh my, the older radiator looked so much better than the new bland flimsy one! I would have just repainted the old one….

[@SamLTate]

They look snazzy but it probably had a very poor thermal rating compared to the new one.

[@RoyalFlush28]

Top tip - when filling up, leave hose pipe connected to the CLOSED drain valve so it’s quicker to get it drained in the event of a leak.

[@hiitdon8630]

5:50 very good advice 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@simoncanterbury]

Simple question. On the radiator that is being replaced, why can't you just close the lockshield valve at one end, and thermostatic valve at the other end, and then simply remove it and replace with the new radiator? Why the palava of draining down the entire system and all that entails? I've had two rads replaced in the past. Neither engineer drained down the system. And is the B&Q guidance on their video incorrect when they just turn the valves down?

[@gilomoto5148]

This is my method never had a problem as long as you take time to bleed the system.

[@michaelbarnes1918]

I've done 2 upstairs radiators the same way you have just said. Soo much easier and takes little time. Just have to remember to release the pressure from the boiler incase the valve doesn't hold up.

[@Dr.Stacker]

My trv would not stop water passing when set to zero, or with the 5p trick. The needle moves but i’m guessing far enough to fully close it. I went for it in the end and capped of with a 1/2 blanking nut but I know that at some point will have to drain down the whole system to replace the TRVs

[@madgebishop5409]

those red radiators would have gone perfectly with my black ash effect tape cassette storage drawers from the 80's 🤣

[@plumberparts]

At the tip now!

[@tuckermafi]

Absolute comedian, you could definitely get your own TV show!

[@saxon7787]

Hey Great vid. I’ve never used the loctite thread. How many times would you wind on? I’ve used loctite 577 any thoughts on that? Cheers

[@hugoviana9586]

thanks for the class teacher 👏👏👏

[@gkip1890]

How did you get the system to just fill the one radiator you were working on?

[@mrbuster7255]

Fitting a new radiator downstairs in the cloakroom toilet. Do i have to drain every radiator upstairs and down😅 or can i get away with closing them?

[@Michael-gl9qn]

Drain all or risk unexpected water flowing out from potential vacuum being held by rads

[@SonnyGaming2020]

Nice job and gd vid 👌 👏 earned yourself another sub here mate 👍

[@dermotkelly6946]

Thank you for this video , very useful, I must say Bosch tools are very good , I think I have a sealed system as I have a Worcester Bosch green star boiler in the loft I believe it is called a condensing boiler as it has a plastic pipe that runs to the outside down pipe . I am going to change 3 rads and add a new one to the ground floor of my 3 bed semi, to drain down do I just kill the power to the boiler and drain down ? , I have only one large tank in the loft which I believe feeds the cylinder and WC and cold taps in the bathroom, would be great full for any advice you can offer me . Regards, Dermot Kelly .

[@ranzwocket3119]

Recently drained my system down. Turned off mains supply, drained down, system got full of gunk from the header tank and blocked it up. Hack to sort it out..... bicycle pump and a washer up against the outlet of the header tank and blast it through. Cleared the blockage out no problem. So you need an extra stage... remove all the crud from the header tank ;)

[@OwBrown]

How about recessing the pipes into the wall so they emerge at a 90 degree angle to the wall (not from the floor).

[@MagicianMan]

I am NOT a plumber BUT from what I have gathered over the years; A) Wouldn't it have been a good time to introduce some cleaner into the system a few days previously prior to drain down? B) If you are reintroducing solder into the system shouldn't you completely flush the system to ensure that you don't end up with internal solder causing spot corrosion (usually in the form of pinprick holes)? Also C) Whilst definitely an overall cleaner look cutting the flooring and soldering new pipework underneath, you could have more easily (no risk of squeaking flooring) connected onto those tails externally and then into the radiator. As a homeowner doing it that way would have been MUCH, MUCH easier then just add a couple of pipe clips to keep the pipe secure??

[@plumberparts]

A) Possibly (I did inhibit) B) No. with all due respect that’s a tad over the top. Most plumbers would never get more than 3 jobs done a week! C) Yes but I hated that pipe work on show. Much prefer the ‘straight ups’ Cheers for the comment! 😎

[@RailsandSky]

What about adding some inhibitor?

[@plumberparts]

AHHHH YES! Max left and I popped it in later...step 11 ADD INHIBITOR!

[@andrewdimon2788]

Great video. What are your thoughts on liquid PTFE, is it worth it?

[@markyfromars]

Perfection. 😍

[@michaeljcallaghan78]

Best plumbing/heating vids on youtube. The humour in them is great too.

[@grantpowell1148]

When you say your hoover "exploded" but in reality we know you just forgot to put a bag/filter back in the charles. Did it myself and still to this day say the hoover exploded. Spent 4 hours clearing up soot from batroom surfaces - it was everywhere!

[@j4zzx297]

No fernox filter or inhibitor?

[@plumberparts]

At the end…after the video had finished filming!

[@siwateck]

a 500mm rad would have looked much better! (or did u have one in the van?)...

[@brianhume4743]

I thought it was to high,just saying from north of Newcastle 😮😮

[@dimitar4y]

man, plumberbro, you were extremely chipper this time around xD

[@plumberparts]

Thanks!

[@JohnPT123]

As someone who has a leaky radiator, thank you very much, I don't want to spend a few hundred on a plumber

[@ianc8814]

Spend your money on expensive Bosch power tools instead 😅 Nice kit but mostly not necessary if you are doing a straight like for like rad swap without re-piping. Some sort of drill for sure but the other stuff probably not needed.

[@connerhuetson3581]

Hope you’ve got house insurance

[@barnbersonol]

When drilling indoors, get yer child/wife to hold the end of the hoover pipe next to the hole to catch the dust.

[@rcmast3rtract0rking]

Is your laser level ever fully charged ;)

[@Etherman999]

Philip Larkin? please explain your Jargon .lol

[@MKRM27]

Can you imagine how funny this guy would be, if he were as funny as he thought he was?

[@porterdays]

lol e17 never mind your probably made it better😂

[@Hew.Jarsol]

All that for one rad?

[@loafersheffield]

"Dust" - Marjorie Dawes... "Goooooooooooooooood morning, fat fighters!"

[@CoolMusicToMyEars]

23:47 smells like linseed putty 👍

[@hiitdon8630]

Step two isn’t always that simple

[@loafersheffield]

Scientists used to have humility. Whenever their "theories" were improved upon or deboooooonked, they would congratulate those who questioned the prevailing orthodoxy and not behave like petulant children. Isaac Newton was sorta correct. A slight nutter. Later on in life he became master of The Royal Mint and it's rumoured he tinkered with alchemy. Scrap prices on copper n brass have gone up.

[@chrisgunn121]

Jimmy, have not kept it in your pants and got Emily in the Family way???????

[@johanjarl7919]

the radiator will be as long as the window is

[@douglas4487]

Oh James, I will pretend I didn't see you split that log on the path! Stick to the other types of logs. Love ya you handsome turd herder

[@stevenb2366]

😂

[@dimitar4y]

noo bosch sucks except their self cleaning vacuum, buy makita ;)

[@karololbrys824]

you talk too much about tools,

[@dimitar4y]

holy frick that ending had me rolling

[@stephencave187]

It's TOOOOO HIIIIGH !!!!

[@itfben]

Great video as usual. But he is right mate, it is a tad high. 😅 Could be worse, I measured my rad bracket holes about 10 times, and my radiator is still not level.,, bollox!

[@kamilaewska1663]

do you really have to drain the whole system just to change the radiator? is it not enough to close the valves going into the radiator? ?

[@Andy-lw5ty]

When you refilled the system did you add any inhibitor, if not why.

[@CC-io3nc]

Why did you only install a type 11 rad? Instead of a type 22? I thought you're always better oversizing new radiators. So that they heat the room rapid then turn off via the TRV

[@Martin-bi8jn]

Człowieku ale lejesz wode.Masakra

[@nivenwoodfine1928]

You fuckin love the comments mate🤣🤣🤣

[@zouhirmouats]

Max was right

[@isLifeSimple]

I've messed up hanging the radiator twice so I'm going to try your tips to see if that helps 🙏🏾

[@maffil356]

Not been subscribed for long, only just realised I wasn't! I've used your vids so many times its unreal, when I sort something my mum asks how and when I say a video from the same guy as the last one she always asks why I'm not a plumber haha. Love what you do mate! Thank you so much.

[@adrianssolutionsgwm]

Good eve. When you refill the system wouldn't you get a column of air in the capped off flow and return to the rad? Is it best to use this method or put bleed valves on the tails. I really wanna know this please, google hasn't helped. thx. (I assume trapped air in sealed treated system leads to corrosion.) (My situation the copper tails will stick up above carpet 4 inches, the neater appearance the better)

[@williamspeirss]

Hope you cleaned that bath after you poured the manky water down it 🤦‍♂️🤣

[@billsbasementworkshop1902]

Why do you use screws that long? Can't emagin that the rad is that heavey

[@mdocko2285]

You are actually a weirdo... but a funny one 😂 all the best mate.

[@Kuffdam]

great video - thanks for the share and the information

[@user-ky7ty3ie1x]

Any recommendations laser level

[@peterhancock8011]

Why is there insulation under the floor?

[@5084204]

:-) Or...Rothenberger freeze pipe kit.

[@jasonhumphries]

Hi, where can i get the pipe cleaner Gadget .

[@Liverpool1ne]

That’s a lot of effort for one small radiator 😅 respect 👍🏻

[@nobodydoesithalfasgoodasyou]

That little wiggle tho 😩

[@Lee_Essex]

You said the word Bosch 67 times in this video. 😲

[@plumberparts]

Actually 68!

[@sh3riff]

Why can't you just close the TRV and lockshield either side of the radiator and then remove it?

[@nobodydoesithalfasgoodasyou]

Didn't he cut the pipes?

[@michaelXXLF]

I have no idea how I ended up here (KZbin algorithm 🙄) but those are entertaining videos and even a plumbing noob can learn the odd bit. I do very much appreciate your enthusiasm about blue 18V Bosch tools though! I own an impact-gun for changing loads of tires twice a year. Excellent!

[@plumberparts]

Haha! The KZbin hole has brought you here.

[@leeroychang]

I proper laughed at the poo story...
