A Day In The Life Of A Jobbing Plumber: Snatching Radiator Valve Gone Wrong

[@klyeson4832]

Would love to see more price breakdowns on jobs like you did for the fill valve, it's interesting to see what other plumbers are charging

[@SmartPipePlumbing]

Yeah I can definitely start saying about what I’m charging on jobbing videos 100%

[@CommercialGasEngineerVideos]

Love that word "snatching". I need to use it more. As I seem to be snatching everything at work to get home b4 the traffic.

[@SmartPipePlumbing]

Love a good snatch 😂

[@jacko2815]

I always keep random back nuts and bits and pieces like that in my organiser tray. Saved me loads of times. Ive dropped a few behind boxings ecr

[@jacko2815]

Haha I'm still watching and you just done exactly what I said

[@jacko2815]

Lucky you could get the flush valve changed without having to take the cistern off would have been an all day job haha

[@SmartPipePlumbing]

Couldn’t believe I did it just after saying it aswell 😂

Hi just subscribed to your channel great content from one plumber to another something new to learn every day

[@SmartPipePlumbing]

Thanks and welcome 🙏

[@ValorFlowPlumbingLtd]

Good video mate, I’ve liked and subbed ;)

[@SmartPipePlumbing]

Thanks for the sub!

[@AlexRocks24-7]

A little tip 🤓 I change the towel rail cartridge just like the bath tap you did. That way I don't need to change the whole valve, pipe and if the F&E is above you head like the one you just did I do it live 😁 Try it 🤓 I'm in and out it in 5 minutes 💪

[@SmartPipePlumbing]

Once tried that as an apprentice and fucked it up badly 😂😂

[@AlexRocks24-7]

@@SmartPipePlumbing try it again. It really works. Been doing it for years 😁

[@Tom_Plumb_PHS]

Ha ha lost my plastic pipe slice down some boxing this week, and ive almost solvent weld brushes down stacks. Glad it's not just me😂

We all make mistakes mate, happens to the best of us

[@garylawton9126]

Can just bung cold feed and its fine too isnt it? Or pipe freeze is handy too yeah? Cheers

[@SmartPipePlumbing]

No you you would still have to drain the lot down

[@plumbertechnicalwork3555]

[@SmartPipePlumbing]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@pault3705]

Hi any chance of a 10 min run through vid about what you carry in the rogue 2..have one myself but never loaded it up.thanks

[@SmartPipePlumbing]

Yeah mate been thinking about doing one for a while now so will get on it

[@pault3705]

Brill.thanks

[@willemgijs3803]

can someone tell me why u use the paste? Here in the netherlands we just use tape?

[@SmartPipePlumbing]

Tape is for diyer over here and paste is for pros 😂 just joking each to there own

[@willemgijs3803]

@@SmartPipePlumbing aha yes no clue why. What's it for? Also just sealing? I see some even use both haha.

[@Tom_Plumb_PHS]

​@@willemgijs3803don't quote me but I think the paste has some teflon in it. It just helps seal between the olive and fitting and lubricates as its tightened up. Some debate on whether its a low level legionella risk or not. Hospitals here in UK for example you can't use paste so tape would be your only option if it a fitting leaked.

[@willemgijs3803]

@@Tom_Plumb_PHS yeah or hemp. Hemp is the best one.

[@Tom_Plumb_PHS]

@@willemgijs3803 interesting hemp is banned here for drinking water due to it causing bacterial growth. You can use it on heating but it's considered old school now, never actually seen it used in uk.

[@jonbarrie7002]

When bunging the tank do you do exactly the same when its a cold water storage tank in the loft? Bung the feed pile and then the?

[@SmartPipePlumbing]

You can do yes however on this job the cold water tank was to high up to do it

Nice tip on the socket wonder where you got that from 😂

Lol you're a hoarder like myself "always keep the backnut, you never when you'll need one" I've seen hoard nuts in a few other videos 🐿 I would've also charged 60 quid for that.

[@SmartPipePlumbing]

Honestly I’m so bad for it. I swapped a light switch on a bathroom I’m at yesterday and kept the old light switch as a spare 😂
