I've watched your videos for 9 years. You were lightyears ahead of the current social media content creators from most industries. Good man James 😊

[@fazchad3162]

YOU Are A Genius & World Needs Your Contribution. You explain it so well. Thank you

[@michaeljamesdesign]

"dog's bed full of sick". The more I get into plumbing the more I'm grateful for my own trade.

[@808sandheartbreak1]

I fitted one of these last week, piece of cake apart from the washer being stuck/deformed in the fitting on another pipe run. Thanks for posting O.G, Triple O.G!!!!

[@rebooter]

You freaking genius!!! You've taken panic stations at my gaff to an easy-as situation. I shall be forever in your debt. Keep the vids coming!!! Clear, concise and you actually know your onions better than a Frenchman with a beret and a black & white stripy top, riding a bicycle through Paris!.

[@MrPete20tong]

Exactly the problem I had today. Was following your CH drain video, should have come to search your channel earlier! Nice one thanks, I'll buy 1 from SF and try your solution.

[@plumberparts]

No worries dude!

[@shirinshaw7998]

You are an excellent teacher. Thank you.

[@andymoffat8393]

Have subscribed to your channel, with your videos on here I have managed to refit and re plumb 2x bathrooms, relocate and replace radiators and carry out simple diag work on my heating system. U should have your own tv show. Thank you for providing all your info 👍

[@jimmysan1810]

Awesome, just carried out this method to budge my stuck drain off valve, PTFE around the thread to seal it up in a panic is a great tip

[@privatepirate7444]

Alternatively if your washer is jammed inside. Put your hose on, using short screw driver like an electrical make a hole into your hose and up inside the drain off, loosen the drain off and wiggle the screw driver to free the washer/jumper. No chance of getting soaking wet. As the screw driver seals to hose. Sorted!!! 16years in the game.

[@fionnan2811happy]

I'm stealing your idea😅

[@davidhall4398]

Going to try this too👍

[@ru15151]

Good that. Got one on the water meter front of house using as a take off for hose to wash the car. Water pressure wasn't good enough so crossing fingers after a strip down.

[@daisy180709]

ive got these in my cloakroom bathroom on my hot and cold under the basin , are they needed or can i do away with them ?

[@Gargoilunit]

Proper helped me out thanks a lot. Keep up the good work the videos are brilliant cheers mush 👍

[@digdilem9892]

Thanks - had a stuck valve today, appreciated this trick to free it.

[@gjmheating8857]

James how do you drain cylinder old gledhill with Dov built into cylinder well comes out bottom left side. We got one that isnt opening and if you do this method how are you meant to get the valve jumper out its tight with water coming out lol.

[@SimonBannister]

Legend, thanks for this video, it has helped me loads!

[@shaunmoser9405]

Awesome, quality as usual. Liking the cross sectional stuff.

[@mike12419]

love your videos! very usefull information! personally i gave up fitting drain cocks years ago ! i now use a lever valve and remove the lever and cap off the outlet !

[@Noaxe_Tegrinde]

Excellent Job. You know your business and its much appreciated! NoAxe

[@ileslie1846]

Brilliantly described. Thanks so much for your informative vids. Like the humour too

[@woodbine66]

You forgot to mention type B DOCs. Never fit the feckers. They always leak out the end when draining down. Never, never, never fit type Bs. Always fit type A drain offs like the one in the vid. They have the o ring seal on the shaft that stops those beastly drips. Great vid. Many thanks. HOLD TIGHT!!!

[@ieames1]

Brilliant advice. Followed what he said and worked a treat.

[@burhankhan3963]

Hi. Mate. I need some help. I got 2 external drain off cocks on outside of the wall and also 2 other drain off cocks on the side off . Which do i drain all 4??? Both are dirtectly behind radiators but no drain off cocks inside only four outside. I want drain system do i drain all for or just let 1 drain off cock to let water out.please advise someone.

[@johnmears6765]

Great information. Thanks for sharing

[@bencraker]

This video saved me from flooding my house 😂 thanks 🙏🏻

[@JuiceBanger1]

I've a dishwasher coming tomorrow. This drain cock is all I have. Can i connect dishwasher too it and if so do I need a fitting of some sort?

[@darrenkirkland8587]

I always put a bit of silicone grease on the washer ,it doesn’t stick to the brass section .

[@nosycatUK]

Didn't know you had a brother that is 11 years older than yourself. He just posted a new video on this channel 😂

[@-onion-.]

Great vedio, Hope one day you will show vedio about How to install boiler as well.

[@leeatkins8330]

you videos are great lol :D tell you what I do sometimes when the rubber alone gets stuck is get a 3inch screw wind in the to the middle of the rubber once wound in enough it pulls it compleatly out or in bits that still come out I find most idiots put the hose end to close to the f***ing floor !!!! rage !!!!

[@1972scott1]

How do I remove the square tightening nut as it is completely rounded off and I need to drain the system?

[@markl577]

Fantastic info, great video. 👍🏻

[@jbaillie01]

How would you de solder it if you need a complete new one. Or would you just cut a bit of pipe further back and re solder a new pice of pipe and then solder the drain off to the new piece

[@plumberparts]

Drain down, remove gubbins, sweat off the fitting and clean out the female. Insert new one and do in reverse like you would a normal solder.

[@fionnan2811happy]

I normally replace them with a ball type valve. but thanks James for the tips

[@kentowers2802]

What if the drain is dripping? Are the valve internals interchangeable?

[@jbaillie01]

That tool you got. Is there one for locks held valves on rads as I'm sick of my adjustable getting stuck on the wall or rad

[@plumberparts]

No...better patent one quick!

[@jbaillie01]

+plumberparts please do *)

[@mattfuller3548]

Thanks for the video James

[@baza7008]

Cheers Captain excellent video.👌👍

[@Purpleh4zex]

silly question i know, but im new to all of this.. i have these fittings on the pipework under my sink, can i connect a hose pipe to this fitting to use for my garden?

[@rayc1503]

Yup you sure can use a garden hose 👍

[@Zantorc]

Thanks, that is exactly the problem I've got, except the drain cock pokes through the kitchen wall to the outside of the house so I don't have to worry too much about mess.

[@plumberparts]

No worries Zanno!

[@samanadam2442]

Thanks mate

[@Rondjrocket]

Another great video thanks

[@simonsimpson7682]

thank you!!

[@danieljamesmurray92]

great vid mate

[@woodbine66]

'If you have a gravity system you're hard' - LOL!

[@bensummers910]

great video keep it coming!

[@terry12n]

are you gas safe registered?

[@a5htaylor]

What if you over tighten and shear off the square key.... :( asking for a friend....

[@970357ers]

My solution: fit a compression isolator with a blanking nut for safety. Use a 1/2" hozelock adaptor to connect and turn the valve to drain. Looks cack, but works.

[@amirhussain1449]

hold tight, very cool and entertainment

[@peppenapoli2404]

Best not to use these, straight out the Ark. 500 litre buffer tank fitted under stairs, 6 drain offs in different locations not one of them working! Fit a ball valve!

[@plumberparts]

Tbf I agree mate!

[@addz91]

Top stuff! Thanks a dime!

[@crumplezone1]

You sir are a 5***** plumber and also an excellent `cross sectional ,hand sawing expert!" Brrrruuup hold tight !

[@jbaillie01]

Awesome! Hold tight!

[@viclick3431]

Amazing bro work for me

[@akeelshah7904]

ahh now it makes sense because both of mine wasnt working even with the air vent open in the loft

[@michaelread2067]

Fuck me. You're good. I put up with the" likely lad"stuff 'cost you really know what you're talking about .

[@AlanCooney]

Yes, I am still holding tight!

[@bensummers910]

whats up next plumberparts

[@daguardarenelsilenzio7744]

Any apprentices get paranoid about looking a mug when asked to get a “drain cock washer” from the plumbers merchants ? 😂

[@andreaandrewmilne]

A bloke who can cut a brass fitting that neat with an angle grinder and is a f*cking plumbing guru as well....deserves to be held very tight :-) Girls have to do plumbing too, especially when my housemates haven't got a clue about why ther radiators are freezing :-) Your vids are soooo helpful. Thx ♥ andrea

[@IrfanAnsari-ig4nf]

Thanks

[@plumberparts]

No worries mate! SUBSCRIBE! ➡️👉 kzbin.info 👈⬅️ IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY! 😎

[@ArksE8]

If I'm working on a cylinder I don't bother with the drain cock anymore. I just syphon it out. its so much quicker

[@ashplested9311]

This is very true! Then using a wet vac to get the rest of the water below the drain level

[@nosycatUK]

To get ready 😂

[@andyrichards4802]

99% of drain valves are blocked in social housing lol, I just go to the nearest rad to the door and turn both lockshield & trv off (hopefully not passing) then stick a hose directly onto valve unless it's 1/4" tail then it's back to drawing board.. oh how we struggle on...

[@808sandheartbreak1]

Oh yes and common sense told me to remove the washer before heating the beast up ;)

[@47represent]

hold tight

[@WongFeiFox]

Beautifully into your face with some sexy soldering and a minging blob. Mate I love your vids, you're such a geezer, I bet you're a right laugh on a job. Keep up the good work I'm subscribing now.

[@WongFeiFox]

Ps. What two muppets gave this a thumbs down

[@plumberparts]

Cheers fella! I do love a good time at work...otherwise what's the point?!
