2nd Hand Boiler Install

So after many weeks in the cold, and being moved from pillar to post the 2nd hand unvented cylinder makes its way back to its final resting place. Not surprisingly this install becomes rather stressful. The boiler cupboard was made a lot smaller then we were told, the scaffolding has to be altered to move the cylinder and some old components fail. Nothing we couldn't handle?

Nice job Luke, good to see Bailey 👍

Cheers mate. I try and film him when he's not looking 😂

I’m in my third year of my apprenticeship and have dug up loads of content and learned loads from caleffi magazine. I’ve explained CCT’s to engineers in my area and no one has a clue what I’m on about. Great content as always bud!

[@loving-plumbing]

Thank you very much. Good to keep educating yourself and you sound pretty knowledgeable for an apprentice 👍👍

[@ryanthornborough1820]

Absolutely! I try use my extra time as productive as I can. Once qualified, I’ll be looking to take the heat loss training, then proceed with the heat geek course.

@@ryanthornborough1820 I'm tempted to do it my self but it is pricey for a online course. Plus I do think people get too serious about hydronics. Just multiple people trying to out smart each other. My advice is to master the pipe bender....... It will always be the difference. 😉👍

[@ryanthornborough1820]

Haha I normally just fluke a bend 😅 If you feel you have got bending down to a tee, please upload a tutorial on KZbin if you have a little time on your hands 🙏

Good to see you back with some nice videos 😎

Thank you again 🙏

Couple things to note, firstly last time I attended a site where the Gas Meter was installed like that it has been capped off due to access (meter had to be moved externally at home owners cost). Second normally with close couple tee's we size up to reduce turbulence. It's one where I know Worcester wouldn't want to attend to the boiler. Other than that really nice work from you guys as usual, just shame the builder buggered you over.

[@loving-plumbing]

Thanks for the comment . In all honesty the meter isn't actually as bad as it looks, it's pretty accessible but I was concerned we would have to scrap the whole thing 😂. I have looked into upsizing the close coupled Tee's but I think the difference is so minimal I'm not sure it's worth doing, but no harm in doing so. Thanks 👍👍

[@12345delboy]

Fair play mate , looking at that would have scared me off the job , you've got bigger balls than me !!!!

[@loving-plumbing]

I wasn't overly happy when I arrived to see the cupboard half the size 😂. You do what you gotta do I guess and try and have a laugh . Thanks 👍

[@12345delboy]

@@loving-plumbing That's the attitude that inspires me to keep battling out there mate , you and your crew are a credit to the trade!!!

[@loving-plumbing]

@@12345delboy Thank you. Appreciate it.👍

[@tirvplumbing]

Nice work as always guys. I'm an adult L2 changing career to be a plumber. These systems always take me a bit to get my head round. 😂 All about experience. I prefer a swirl torch and butane gas for normal size pipework myself. 👍 Your soldering is mint though. 💪

[@loving-plumbing]

Everyday is a school day. I definitely prefer the swirl as it's pretty pin point accurate. But Bailey's is way quicker to reach temperature. Thanks for watching.

Class as usual

Appreciate that. Thank you 👍

Builders !

[@12345delboy]

God you defo made the best of that situation, a little breakdown bloke like me wouldnt know where to start 😅😅

[@loving-plumbing]

I came from a breakdown background so know what you mean. Just gotta go for it 👍. Plus the harder jobs make the next job seem like a breeze !

[@paullbennett2923]

All that cement dropping down would drive me mad , I'd probably be packing my tools in the van. No wonder people don't like working for builders. They couldn't be bothered to get a mist coat on the walls.

[@loving-plumbing]

Yeah it was definitely pretty frustrating . Always the same on building sites. Luckily the builder is a top bloke so il let him off. 😂

[@11982463]

is the close coupled tee not meant to be one size bigger? So, 28mm instead of 22mm?

[@colin4685]

I would 100% refuse to service that. Far too tight

[@loving-plumbing]

Don't worry..... It will be me swearing next year...... "Who installed this !"

[@JayGasEssex]

Feel sorry for whoever will have to service that Worcester, heat ex swap, prv.... no thanks.

[@loving-plumbing]

Agreed ..... unfortunately it will likely be me
