Great to meet you guys the other day, a real pleasure! I need to grab the details of your surveyor at some point for our own boat search, maybe next time I’m fishing up there I’ll stop by. Really enjoying your videos guys, you’ve got a very unique channel…..keep it coming 👌 Cheers, Greg (orange trouser guy)

Hello Becca and Chris, What a great fun video. Fun whilst doing serious work.Well done for getting thru some of the failed BSS issues. Chris I think you just about keep control of the Gas Locker. Becca does well for not throwing anything out, which proved a good plan in itsself this week. Well done both. Chris was having a great silly Elephant moment which was very funny. Loved the openin montage. Another Excellent video. Thank you. Spoolbox

Thank you...we do try to make the most out of all these situations, im trying my hardest to keep the gas locker mine...but iv got to up my game by the looks of things, hope you have a lovely week ❤️

[@johnkeegan9264]

I'm not a gas fitter but backing the nut off 1/4 turn may make it easier to undo but nearly guarantee a gas leak. I think you should have tightened the nut then 1/4 turn extra PS. I would have used Gas safe PTFE Tape and some Fernox LS-X Jointing compound and leak sealer. Maybe someone with greater knowledge could advise better but a gas joint backed off 1/4 turn is a disaster waiting to happen in my humble opinion. Keep going your nearly there ❤❤❤❤

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

oh right thats interesting. That you so much ❤️

[@-D0uble0-]

@@TheNomadicCrobot Late to the party, but the above advice is correct (with one exception). Never loosen off gas joints, they need to be tight, especially since the rubbber seals inside the fittings shrink over time, which will definitely cause a gas leak. Also, please do not use Fernox LS-X as that is for sealing water leaks only. You will find that the hose nuts will have rubber washers inside, which don't need any sealant, and the bayonette end has been designed in such a way that they will seal fine without any jointing compound, just ensure they are tight. To be extra sure your joints aren't leaking, buy some LDF (leak detection fluid) to spray on the joints after you have fitted them. If you see bubbles forming, then you have a gas leak.

[@shirleygreaves9650]

I would have had to clean the roof under the solar power before fixing it in place, but that’s just me. Just think in all those eggs sacs there are thousands of spider babies that are going to crawl out and infest your boat! Great vlog guys, really funny. 😂

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

Noooooo thats terrifying 😂😂

[@davidwright6950]

I understand that flammable gas bottles have LHD threads with none flammable RHD, so you cannot get them mixed

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

ahhh that explains it

[@bigKDL]

So you just fitted two new hoses which is four connections without cleaning the treads on the regulator so as you haven't bothered to fit a bubble tester you now don't know if you have a leak good work

[@markwhiting4322]

bubble tester is a falsehood, BSS are not alway fully gas qualified, so the bubble tester is a loophole how the inspectors get around not being qualified gas people...................there are some BSS inspectors that are FULLY qualified and they really hate the bubble tester falsehood because it a job that does not need doing and costs money people don't need to spend.......

[@grahamtansley]

The flames from the gas leaks will keep the spider population under control

[@bigKDL]

Silly me of course how could I have missed that but I still don't understand how a couple of months tart up of a narrowboat can take nearly four years​@@grahamtansley

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

hellllll yeah...love the dead kennedys , Thanks 😊

[@maxmillion7007]

Unlike liquid fittings, the threads on gas hoses have nothing to do with making the fitting gas tight. It is the rounded relatively soft metal tip that gets compressed into a rounded socket that makes it seal and on the other end of the hose the gasket along with a partially rounded end that does the sealing. Still a good idea to spray soap/water mix on the connections and see if any bubbles form. If you do fit a "bubble tester" make sure it is right AFTER the regulator in the gas locker and DEFINITELY test the "bubble tester" with soapy water after installation. Ironically, maybe 15% of leaks in all new installations are the bubble testers.

[@paulhutchins6019]

Your content always makes me laugh. Keep it up guys. Oh, with gas welding and brazing, the fuel gas is always left hand thread and oxygen is right, so they cannot be switched. You also only get 5 years out of regulators etc as they're date stamped. This would include shelf life as well!

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi guys, just a little hint you should get some soapy water in a spray bottle and spray it around to see if there’s any gas leaks. Not trying to tell you what to do but whenever I’ve changed those myself on caravans I’m always at that Cliff from Australia

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

Thats actually a great idea, Thank you

Hello my dears! 4:20 put some ruber around the pipe unde the clip, otherwise will rub on the clip not on the boat! 😊 You have played so much with the hose and i think you have not protection, seals? Many things can happen with no protection on the hose 😂

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

Thats a very good point thank you

[@algonsalves8932]

Don't you check for leaks with soapy water ? I'm surprised the are not vents on the locker doors.

BECKS! I think there opposite direction threads on each end to allow you to attach both ends at the same time.

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

Thank you

[@appye7994]

Lol, no. That would not work. The two ends are the same gender, and reverse threading one side would make that impossible! As I understand it, it is to prevent people from using lines for non flammables (oxygen, co2, etc) on flammables (acetylene, propane, etc)

[@Nofear25]

Work load percentage % Sir Chris not a lot 4% gas locker Lady bexi bot 96% the rest of the boat 😂😂😂😂 ❤❤❤❤

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

spot on 😂😂❤️❤️

[@Transit_Biker]

I definitely would contemplate sealing up those bolt holes under the solar panels. Squeezing in a bunch of sealant into the hole from an applicator gun should do the trick.

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

now thats not a bad shout at all...problem is weve now already screwed it

[@Transit_Biker]

@@TheNomadicCrobot I know you guys mentioned that the panels are just temporary and you’re looking to do a more permanent thing at some point. However… water is notorious for getting into places that don’t have a good drip edge. Since the grab rail is integrated into the roof, you may not be able to get in there to mitigate water damage, which could seep down through the screw threads. You’ll probably be fine for a couple of months, but I would definitely address that sooner rather than later or you may end up cutting a section of that grab rail off to repair the rust hidden within. The integrated rails are definitely better overall, but they do have some drawbacks. Not trying to steamroll the comment section or come off as some bossy boss, but having seen the nightmares unfold on other boats on other KZbin channels, any opportunity to protect the boat from corrosion (especially hidden from sight) should be grabbed with much vigor. You two know what you’re doing, but yeah, that definitely jumped out at me! There are various fashioners that you can use such as rivnuts which can be sealed against the surface they are fixed to and act as a plug keeping out rain etc. these are especially good for mounting solar panels.

[@alanjohn6355]

Got to say that if you both become more professional then you would just blend in with the masses of other professional Narrowboat channels, so as you are now, you stand out sooooo much more.

I hadn't looked at you guys in a couple months. It looks like you are living full time on your boat now ...? I guess I need to look through some of your other videos. According to an AI, flammable gas is reverse threaded, and non flammables are not. It is to prevent mixing things up.
