15 MINUTES! on How to Install Central Heating System for COMBI BOILER

[@minhokaman]

well done. I need a plumbers mate job to be able to terminate my NVQ2

[@MattHutton]

Darian Caballero Medina thanks my man. :) I’m not a plumber but maybe someone in the comments can help you :) I’ll pin your post to the top.

[@singh68ify]

Another option is the get the gas safe done which is essentially nvq level 3, however saying that, it is quite tricky.

[@CGS_16]

Man, you helped me to actually understand the layout of the pipes from the boiler, thanks a lot. Good luck with the project

[@geordieceltic2]

Hi. Probably the most informative video I have seen. You explain to system extremely well. Thank you and we'll done..

[@johnlfc1983]

Looking into doing my own central heating system, great vid bud thanks for sharing. 👌🏻

[@Daveeveratt]

Only just seen this, thanks Matt very helpful as are some of the comments. Looks far neater than my pipework that was done professionally.

[@MattHutton]

Oh nice :) good to know. Glad you liked it

[@davidstewart5030]

Excellent demonstration.

[@brendanmillssaxophonist5497]

Great video mate and impressive work ! Well done 🔧

[@MattHutton]

Cheers mate

[@FromthisInstanceOn]

very clear and concise explanation of how you planned and installed the piping. if you put as much focus into all your other jobs, i am sure you´re flat will look amazing in the end. good luck.

[@MattHutton]

ImeSaBudalamaDaPricam thanks :)

[@MattHutton]

thank you very much for your message. I have been doing just that ;] Keep an eye out for my next video on how to wire all the electrical circuits in a domestic house.

[@joshuasykes3721]

Mate, this was proper helpful. Good job

[@MattHutton]

Nice, glad you liked it :)

[@brumlad76]

Excellent video mate!!! You confirmed and answered all the questions I had. I can get on with putting the radiators In my static caravan. Thanks again mate

[@MattHutton]

Steven Pearsall no worries :) I’ve got a video on how to install radiators too. Subscribe if you like and check out my other videos

[@justintai8725]

That was awesome thanks dude

[@MattHutton]

No problem, I’m glad you found it useful, it would mean a lot to me if you’d be happy to subscribe ❤️

[@quackchung]

Old video, but well done you. One thing I gleaned from YT is that not all Rads are fed to the left, some are fed through the TTRS Valve on the right (Arrow markings I believe) so make note if someone else is having a go. Also I would want to pressure test my joints before flooring. Not sure what you'd use in this case? Maybe some sort of air pressure gauge. Would be a nightmare to rip up all the floor if indeed a joint had failed.

[@AllOutDesign1]

Your videos are incredibly helpful dude!

[@MattHutton]

Thanks for watching :) glad you enjoyed it

[@hmstopflight]

Top video mate, you just saved me hours of googling 😉 keep up the good work.

[@MattHutton]

George Harvey cheers mate ;)

[@leewhittaker1532]

Top video fella and well explained

[@MattHutton]

Cheers mate

[@twominute]

Superb mate. Nice and easy to follow.

[@TheGuel500]

Good video mate. Out of interest did you lag your pipes or as it was above insulation and assume you were floor boarding you didn’t need to?

[@ratchriat1716]

found the video very informative and useful

[@MattHutton]

Ratch Riat great 👍 glad you found it useful

[@DuFaou0]

Spot on mate, thanks for this it saved me loads of time and actually seeing it makes much more sense than diagrams

[@MattHutton]

Liam Burnard no worries at all, thanks for watching ;)

[@equalsbaku8525]

Well done! Seems like you clearly know what you will do next :)

[@dawgyg999]

Superb video, really informative

[@MattHutton]

Glad you liked it mate, hope it was helpful ;)

[@enlightenednews5265]

Good job. Well done and keep up the good work.

[@AlexSmith-de2le]

Great video chap. Thanks

[@MattHutton]

Alex Smith no worries, glad you enjoyed it

[@Zaine22]

Really good video but you really should have a double check valve after the stop tap to prevent black flow and prevent contaminating the water mains

[@airbornerat]

Great video, exactly what i was looking for. Cheers bud 👌

[@johnmcgraw394]

Excellent..that is great

[@pameladonaldson4051]

Do you have an updated list of all the parts needed to install a boiler, combi, and six radiators, e.g., horizontal flue and plume kit and so on, etc.

[@sorushkhajepor8735]

Great video. Keep it up.

[@kosalaperera1899]

Great video mate. Cheers.

[@ibysplumbingvideos9684]

Nice job mate. But I wouldn't use compression fittings on new installation especially in cavity walls. Also I would use pipe bender to avoid using so many elbows.

[@MattHutton]

Iby J nice, thanks for your comment

[@Zaine22]

Great job but I would have advised you didn't have to copper pipes touching each other as it can cause vibration

[@MattHutton]

That’s for the feedback, no problems so far but good to know.

[@Zaine22]

@@MattHutton good to hear matt keep up ylthe good work 👍

[@MarcusT86]

I’m trying to learn, but I thought cold water feed had to go to kitchen tap first then everywhere else with a no return valve, but here it goes to the toilet first? Can the water not come backwards and contaminate drinking water?

[@MattHutton]

Hi Marcus, no worries. No the contaminated water goes out through the sewer and clean water goes into the cistern above the toilet. So it’s allllllll good :)

[@MarcusT86]

Matt Hutton - thanks for the reply mate. So in the plumbing world there’s no way the water can come backwards down the pipe and contaminate anything? Wait, isn’t inside the cistern where the water feed overhangs the main body of water and never comes in direct contact with it?

[@MattHutton]

Marcus, I don’t know I’m not a plumber. But, you can drink the water from the cistern as long as you don’t poop in it lol

[@MattHutton]

Marcus just seen the second half of your comment, I’m sorry. Yes the water feed hangs over the main body of water in the cistern and drip fills it.

[@MarcusT86]

Matt Hutton - thanks Matt! Better late than never my friend 🤣 I bought a NVQ Level 2 plumbing book now so hopefully I will learn more 😀 But I have to read my woodworking one first.

[@gbemigameduoye3400]

Great stuff mate. There's an issue with installing a boiler yourself though as building regs need to be notified about the installation. If you do it yourself you'll end up pleading with gas safe plumbers to come and sign off your installation. Which of cause they won't do as it'd be like putting you on their insurance :)

[@MattHutton]

Gbemiga Meduoye thanks for your comment ;) all signed off.

[@dastanrasul]

Thx mate

[@MattHutton]

dastan rasul no worries

[@footballur]

Where did you also find the best place to buy the copper pipe and the couplings?

[@MattHutton]

Tooostation for all joints and b and q for all pipes

[@BestUserNameUK]

Google JTM Plumbing.. Great prices & next day delivery. I use them all the time.

[@peterreid4567]

Quite a few draw offs as in cold water and hot ect. Prob be better with a pressurised cylinder. Also really should of done as many pulled bends in as many places as poss. And the fittings not cleaned at all. Just try to use less fittings. But not to bad.

[@davidhenderson9893]

Any chance of doing a boiler installation from start to finish?

[@MattHutton]

David Henderson I wanted a gas safety certificate for the boiler install so I got a gas safe engineer to do it. If your are building somewhere you want to rent or live in, it might be better to get a gas safe registered engineer to install the boiler because they will take on the liability for the installation and if something goes wrong they are insured. Also your council won’t sign off the building as completed if you don’t have that certificate.

[@davidhenderson9893]

@@MattHutton so I guess the gas engineer wouldn't let you film it? Is that wishful thinking?

[@davidhenderson9893]

So you connected a mains pipe to the boiler with a hot and a flow and return?

[@MattHutton]

David Henderson yes I don’t usually film the stuff I didn’t figure out myself. Our combo boiler has a gas in connection, hot flow and cold return connections and a cold mains water in connection. There’s a video I found from this guys Allen hart who shows how to fit a boiler that I found when I was considering it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3irhWtpaa-Ihbs Let me know if you manage to do it :) Best regards Matt

[@davidhenderson9893]

@@MattHutton thanks mate You have a good channel keep it up

[@ptb2008]

Let us see it when you have finished it too.

[@MattHutton]

ptb2008 will do ;)

[@MattHutton]

Hey ptb2008 here it is mate, I didn’t forget you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppSsZaOpaaZ9oas

[@superwhites5870]

Hope you pressure tested those fittings b4 you hid all the pipes because it looks like you over heated them

[@MattHutton]

Yeah baby 4.5 bar

[@dionweston9712]

Yes you definitely overheated them but fair play. As soon as you see that soldier run take off the heat. 👍 If the pipe is black it's overheated.

[@MattHutton]

Dion Weston good to know, thanks :)

[@wilba8604]

Nice and neat but would never stand up to water regs 👍

[@MattHutton]

Funny how it passed...

[@Rickblues46]

Heating circuit pipe work requires insulating as it will lose heat to the subfloor ... just saying

[@simonstaines2953]

Didn't fancy burying all the pipes in the stud walls then ? 🤔

[@MattHutton]

Hey simon staines thanks for the comment :) No it would have meant a lot more pipe and drilling through brick and studs.

[@simonstaines2953]

Matt Hutton look much nicer tho fella 😇 got any finished vids of the job?

[@MattHutton]

simon staines will upload a video soon of me mounting one of the floating radiators:) subscribe and you’ll get a notification when I upload ;)

[@Rickblues46]

Don’t you think stop valve should be at point of entry to new building .. ?? Bad practice not to !!

[@nw6887]

Bad sound quality

[@MattHutton]

Soz

[@johnjtplastering6991]

Terrible video erm not very clear at all

What would you have liked to be done differently?
