[@mickobyobrien2650]

Always great relief when a snatch comes off without too much drama 👍

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

100% mate…. We’ve all been there

[@paultant6741]

Ideal spot Mark that rad being next to the swimming pool. Flush the rad and tip it into the pool 😂😂.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

🤣🤣🤣

[@tkthebear984]

Wow Mark you’ve hit the 40K, well done mate you deserve it 🙂👍. Great video as always 👍

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate….. yep hit the big 40

[@derekwatt6314]

Nice snatch Mark & huge congrats on 40K

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Cheers Derek 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@AndyHillier-r2n]

Another enjoyable video Mark, thanks

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks Andy

[@michaelsharpin3369]

Congrats on reaching 40k it's well deserved, made me feel nervous cutting into that pipe. 😊

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate…. Finally hit the big 40👍🏼👍🏼

[@chrisholt2474]

Hi Mark, Congratulations on reaching the 40k subscribers, excellent and extremely well deserved 🍻👍👍👍. Another great real world plumbing film and excellent use of the press fit on the under floor job. As we said before, all applications of connecting pipes have their place, have a great week and as always take care, regards Chris 👍👍👍

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks Chris…. Yep finally got the big 40 👍🏼👍🏼

[@keithcampbell7214]

Interesting jobs this week, great content. Never seen heating drawn through like that (swimming pool), everyday a school day. Thank you Mark for the video, 40K well done.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Gotta do what you’ve gotta do sometimes Keith….. so many different ways to do it

[@bernherts]

Good one Mark

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate

[@johncoe530]

Congratulations on getting the 40k Mark 🎉

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Yay! Thank you!

[@danielpiggins8429]

Great little emergency. Call out for the Tylers and some more of that team working and banter that just makes this channel. If you get a minute you should create a short with how you got that radiator to heat up as I think as a standalone clip it would be an extremely useful one in your how to series. Congratulations on the 40,000, hopefully you'll get $50,000 by Christmas this year as it was a bit late this time round

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it…. Great little video this one👍🏼👍🏼

[@AndyHillier-r2n]

On and congrats on the 40k subscribers, well deserved 🎉

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@pault3705]

Hi xan you explain how you drained the pressure at the boiler...what did you connect pipe to.thanks

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

As shown in the video, connected to the drain off on the heating pipe off the boiler 👍🏼👍🏼

[@pault3705]

Thanks

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Welcome

[@mattundercoat]

Thanks for that, Mark. Matty missed his calling: he should have been a dental nurse!

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Hahahah…. I will tell him🤣

[@brucepickess8097]

My only comment on that would to have been to clean the pipe before cutting it. Other than that quick fix and on to another "simple" job.👍😏

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Yep good shout that 👍🏼👍🏼

[@theoddjobcentre6686]

​@@MJTiffPlumbingwhat would you say is the best thing to use to seal around a floor drain thanks

[@JR-1983]

Brilliant, it looks like you were doing a dental procedure with your assistant on the suction😂

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Hahaha…. Yep

[@kevinisaac9139]

Hi Mark on that pool rad wouldn’t it be a good idea to have put a drain off on it for the future 👍

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

It would have tbh…. If I ever have to go back then I probably will👍🏼

[@getbry7452]

Thanks for the video Mark 👍🏻. I'm sure you didn't forget to put some protection around the copper pipe 😜. Congrats on reaching 40k subscribers 👏🏻 👏🏻 🎉🎊 🎈

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate….. finally hit the big 40🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@terrywallis693]

Agree with the press fitting...I trust you could have used another plastic push fit though

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Wouldn’t want to use more than is needed under a floor, had to use 1 just to connect to plastic… then straight onto copper

[@glyndavies591]

Good job getting the rad to heat on heating systems the water tends to flow the easiest rought just hope it keeps working

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Yep and me 👍🏼👍🏼

[@dano9303]

What if you had automatic air vents would the pressure then hold? Or you gotta shut them

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

I theory it would hold as AAV only let air out not in……

[@i_DaveJ]

Pool rad - air lock? Will it reoccur?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Not sure…. Only time will tell

[@deathstr0kexorn765]

That’s what I was wondering. The rad might be hot while you’re there but that’s cos you just dragged hot water into the rad while it was filling but what’s gonna happen after a short while? Heats probably gonna drop off and not circulate around that rad. I’d love to know the outcome

[@peter-gn8ey]

Nice. What did you use to cut that waste pipe when it was so close to that back panel?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Hacksaw 👍🏼👍🏼

[@tonymurff5234]

Nice Mixed Bag on this Mark, Aquaman is serious looking man 😂😂 Brilliant 😎👍🤜

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Hahaha… isn’t he just

[@franzperont5669]

Looks like you made 40K subscribers!

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Yep proper chuffed….. 👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@cvarsani2190]

would a compression fitting have been better to join that live radiator pipe as will be covered over permanantly with tiled flooring and compression holds up better than pushfit from the push and pull from water pressure changes going through it?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

This had plastic fittings on it for years upto this point, it was more a case of get it and get it sorted for the tiler…. With inserts and fitted correctly there shouldn’t be any issues….. nothing is 100% though

[@MichaelHubbard-j6r]

Hi mark, on the radiator in the pool room. Are them isolation valves helping below the rad and aren’t restricted the flow due to not being full bore?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Could possibly be, however the rad has been working fine before this winter 👍🏼

[@AndrewWatkins-j3v]

Great video, as always. I'm in no way a plumber, so I'm asking out of curiosity. Why not just use the speed fit instead of both prees and speed? Regs? Or something else?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Always good to ask sensible questions mate…. Had to use speedfit to connect to the plastic pipe… then onto copper, had to use press to extend the copper pipe as the plastic wouldn’t reach👍🏼👍🏼 Only way to connect the 2 different pipes

[@AndrewWatkins-j3v]

@MJTiffPlumbing thankyou

[@davidgrainger-tm1ko]

got my novo press tool ordered , have you got a preference on what fittings you use, cost and quality come into it but i have no idea what to buy dont know any plumbers who use press fit as im just into my 60s would be grateful for your thoughts

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Check out pressit UK- pressit.uk/ That’s where I get my fittings 👌🏼👌🏼

[@stevelew9684]

mini swimming pool on that last one 🤣

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Hahaha….. yep

[@pogg01]

Proper plumbing

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Yep…. Real World Plumbing….. that’s what this channel is all about👍🏼👍🏼

[@TheMaintenancePlumber]

That’s the only reason I have a mains wet vac lol

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Literally forgot to check the battery…. First time ever🤣🤣

[@TheMaintenancePlumber]

@ lol lucky it was not mains or gravity

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

I knew what it was before cutting it… like I said in the video👍🏼👍🏼

[@Thoughts_from_a_Small_Island]

Good job, is Matty Dutch ?

[@brethren4life152]

How much to fit a cooqer tap and plumb in a sink? How much to fit a hob? How much to service a boiler?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Depends on so many things mate

[@brethren4life152]

Sink and cooker is same set up as in the video Gas hob requiring under 1m of pipe Boiler service is an ideal logic+ Could ypu give me ballpark figures please

[@richardwilliams8953]

I love a good snatch......

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Can’t beat it 🤣🤣

[@SuperVitz]

That column rad not getting hot sounds like the system just needs balancing and venting. I don't really understand why you did what you did, all you've done is take loads of inhibitor out.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Did you see the air coming out….. that’s what had locked it up…. If you knew the size of the house, you would know that I’ve not made a dent on the inhibitor…. They have an indoor pool, that should tell you it’s not a 3bed semi. Also…. After doing what I did it now works…. That’s why I did it😉

[@tigercoatings7092]

🎉🎉

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@Purebeltersteve]

That main sink, i would of used a poly fitting and then come up in copper. Dont like using compression straight onto plastic just due to the compression of the olive really bites into the plastic 😊

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

As long as you have an insert in it to strengthen the pipework your all good👍🏼👍🏼

[@fargogemini694]

Run out of solder or blow touch not working?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Always have plenty of solder on the van and blow lamp is working perfectly…. Why do you ask??

[@deanmiles8421]

Mark I do hope you have watched that clip and thought to yourself I could have made that so much easier. Why on earth didn't you put everything together and clean the pipe before you cut it 🤔 😅 push press done.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Yep I completely know what you’re saying….. however when trying to sort it, and film it and make sure my aqua man is ready I forgot to get it set up…… but as I always say….. This is Real World Plumbing 😉👍🏼👍🏼

[@deanmiles8421]

@MJTiffPlumbing yup I core drilled a plate, inner and outer skins of brickwork the other day and the struggled like fuck to get through the next plate, when I finished I thought to myself why didn't I just go through the last plate with a spade on an extention, I only needed to put 2 x 15mm through 😅

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

We have brain fade sometimes mate

[@TWalkz]

Couldnt you have just cut the copper and gone straight on with the speed fit coupler?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Wasn’t enough on the pipe to get it

[@bovnet]

Real plumbing isn't Speed fit

[@TWalkz]

@@bovnet why isn't it real plumbing?

[@fargogemini694]

Normally I’d show all the other rads off to get the flow to that pool rad

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Yep that’s one way of doing it…. If the flow is there, but you saw all the locked air coming out on this one👍🏼👍🏼

[@megaman2016]

You could have made up most of the pipes and cleaning before cutting. (I'm not a plumber so roast me if I'm wrong 😂)

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Yep, would of saved me about 5 seconds 😝👍🏼👍🏼 But yes, I know what you mean👍🏼👍🏼

[@eddiereed5025]

Flexi hoses wouldnt give the house room

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Not sure what you mean 🤣

[@SuperWayneyb]

🤘😎🤘

@ Evening Bud 🤘😎🤘

[@TradeLegends]

So this is what you do when not hosting the podcast 😂😂

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

🤣🤣🤣…… yep

[@Realworldnews247]

First rule of plumbing: never use push fits under floors and behind walls 🤦‍♂️

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Second rule of plumbing….. You can only connect into what you have in front of you….. Push fit under floors and behind walls is fine if you know how to do it right….

[@hughblount1983]

What's house that house £2/3 million? Proper play boys pad nice!
