I do love that use of the piece of copper pipe to redirect the flow from the pump.

[@TheBisdak12]

that copper trick im impressed well done james

[@plumberparts]

Cheers dude!

[@zantoe]

I must admit ive learnt alot from you James....thanks alot mate for this video ive learnt something i appreciate honestly... your my mentor from now.... 😃

[@jonnysegway7866]

Grant has condensate outlet top right so maybe could have placed trap higher (outside the boiler) and done away with need for the pump, one to think about

[@stephenquinn5779]

hi James, thanks for your ultimate tip on adding inhibitor to a radiator, Used it at the weekend and he presto worked great

[@plumberparts]

No worries dude!

[@ErikMorando]

Cool explanation, thanks!

[@PilotLyons]

Love the copper tip mate 👍 legend... oh and the gym is showing 💪😉

[@plumberparts]

Ha! Thanks man.

[@angelinthedocks3732]

Nice job Jimbo. Top stuff.

[@dm7325]

Love the videos bit advice please ? Just fitted a condense pump to a baxi boiler all working great can you advise how I wire the float safety cut off switch from the pump Into the boiler please I know it's only two wires thanks

[@johndaniells4440]

We recently had a leak. I thought it was the bath waste at first, on closer inspection the other half had piled towels ontop of the condensate pump and pulled it of its bracket. She got a good hiding that night I'll tell u 😉

[@mrman3509]

Great idea with the copper pipe Top job

[@pauljones5959]

Can this be a DIY job to eliminate external pipe across building

[@knighthvac4876]

Here in the states at least in my area, code requires a condensate neutralizer before the pump , we even have pumps with neutralizer build in !

[@knighthvac4876]

Quick question that Reillo burner , what fuel do you guys burn over there ? I got mix answers ,diesel , kerosene and number 2 heating oil !

[@wilouk4301]

Hi, there is a space inside the case for Condensate Neutralizer sachets. Always stay the right side of the code :)

[@jonnysegway7866]

The actual condensate outlet for a grant is at the top, I don’t think a pump was necessary here, just perhaps cut down to the fixed plastic pipe a little.

[@nathanbertram8551]

Is that a flexible hose on the oil line outside the boiler? Wrong install. oftec

[@London1064]

Great video. Just looking to replace my boiler with a new type condensing boiler. Would like to use the same flue hole, can you extend the flue on a boiler with a rear flue?

[@wittywoo2536]

Another informative vid , good job

[@plumberparts]

Cheers mate!

[@stompalomp2968]

What would you do if you needed to connect the condensate pump to a cast iron soil pipe? How would you connect it?

[@emptyone2054]

Wouldn't it be a bit easier if you threaded the plastic pipe through the copper before your bent it??

[@Ray2001ify]

I have a question....I have a tap, when I turn it on it starts ok then slows down to a trickle....a couple month ago our water pressure went down, when I turned the main tap it felt like a crunch fell.....then the water pressure went back to normal.....but now this 1 tap is blocked....I can't take it off its in a bad place....and idea how to unblock with out having to use C4

[@normanboyes4983]

Why did you not fish the poly pipe through he copper template prior to bending?

[@stuartfram5184]

Have you re sited the oil boiler? Does it matter if the opening at the back top is left open?

[@andycalton5280]

Great idea about the copper.

[@francopagliarella]

I like the copper idea..... awesome idea and excellent job like always you do

[@plumberparts]

Cheers Franco!

[@plumberparts]

BO! Going to be doing a KZbin live tomorrow. Loads to talk about. We'll be live at 10am! Hope you enjoy this vid guys. I'll answer your comments here in tomorrow's live vid. LATERZ!

[@jeordanrenouf]

plumberparts do you have a guide of installing a hive unit or something similar?

[@TradesDigital]

Did you forget the wilo link?

[@jeordanrenouf]

Just the thing I need! Where to purchase one from? Did a Google only one I could find was on Amazon

[@wilouk4301]

Hi Jeordan, your local merchant should be able to order one in for you (if they don't have one on the shelf waiting). Give them the Wilo art. number and they'll get one in. productfinder.wilo.com/gb/en/Wilo/c0000002a0003a36300010023/c0000002a0003a36d00010023/c000000740002cb1300010023/product.html#tab=4

[@cruiseblues5207]

comes with a plug also good stuff less wiring the better

[@arthurfox7189]

Tidy job , good video🖒

[@plumberparts]

Cheers!

[@19heyesy]

You plugged it in? So I don't need a spur

[@MenacingPrince]

Yooooo!! Like your boiler @ home lol ... A question... If it comes with just a plug what happens when it fails and the boiler keeps condensing? Usually Condense pumps come with a switch to shut the boiler off don’t they?

[@MenacingPrince]

Btw AMAZING Tutorial video 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@plumberparts]

Joshua! There is an alarm facility on it, but nothing mentioned in their literature (which wasn't all that great!) about it.

[@plumberparts]

Oh yeah, test those links to socials JOSH! Wanna see if they open the app on a phone, or take you to the desktop (which causes leakage....) I'll pat George on the head for you....

[@MenacingPrince]

Ahhh yes! Very good! Maybe wire it to a fog horn!

[@jamboSAFC]

Josh Tappin yeah your right josh. Ive fitted boss pumps and also vaillant and they come with a kill switch so if pump fails boiler wont get 240 so cant fire up

[@patrickmurray2220]

The copper sleeve is some idea!

[@deanfisher2135]

Grant oil boilers all the way

[@simonjarvis7362]

The condensate is acidic and will corrode the copper pipe, you should only use plastic.

[@deanfisher2135]

Wherez your g1 filter lol🤔

[@wilouk4301]

Hi guys, a few people asking for some more info on the Plavis. Here's a link to the product page. There are 3 versions depending on what you really need from it. productfinder.wilo.com/gb/en/search.html#text=plavis

[@stevep4253]

Naughty, naughty... flue terminal very close to that wall and OMG a crappy metal braided flexi hose that looks rusted ready to leak AND it goes through the boiler case!! Should be copper fuel line into the boiler case, then flexi, NOT a leak waiting to happen metal braided flexi, but a long life bio flexi... :-)

[@plumberparts]

Flue is temporary! You can probably see the wall clading isn't finished yet (waiting for end profile) Once that's done I having a vertical high level terminal 45'd past the soffits. It'll be fine!

[@stevep4253]

Top man. Just pointing it out for Joe Public, the installs I come across I think the phrase "you can't fix stupid" applies.

[@gkuk10]

Great job, is that your house lots of jobs started and not finished Plaster board / Cladding 😡 😿

[@plumberparts]

You sound like the Mrs! Yeah mate, working on it all weekend.....just so busy ATM!

[@oliveradams6521]

Oil flex outside boiler and that flue is not 300mm from an internal corner 😂😂😂😂

[@oliveradams6521]

Great videos though

[@TheChipmunk2008]

pssst... 'condensate'

[@billy4072]

ffs far too neat.

[@plumberparts]

Ha!
