[@dilligaf2386]

@@DT-gn4qw hi I done city and Guilds level 2 at 35 I'm 50 now my advice to you is if you plan on doing plumbing for a living do as much for your family and friends as possible for experience also try and get in with a gas safe plumber for a bit because they only really touch on heating at college as a adult student. Doing plumbing in college is worlds apart from doing it in a customers home as I found out. There was about 15 of us on the course that was 15 years ago and apparently only 2 of this 15 are working plumbers now one does it part time as his wife is a banker and the other one works with his plumber brother so the reality of it is only a couple of you will go on to plumb for a living. Good luck I hope you get what you want.

thanks for sharing. amazing skills.. I was just looking for more of an explanation, lesson etc. The most important learning points in the video were fast-forwarded.. It is so interesting everything you are doing.. You are making the pitches on copper pipes so that they could become like screws.. you are drilling holes. You are cutting both metal and plastic pipes. You are bending metal. on the top of everything, it is the knowledge you have... The understanding of what to do. Where is the water coming from, and how can we bring it to the other side.... Where is the hot water and where is the cold one.. What size of pipes to buy and work with.. Is there any way to learn it all step by step online?

James, great video, as always, I k ow it's an older one but I use your videos as a guide as and when needed. I have a question: Can I use plastic JG speedfit to my kitchen taps? I'm renovating my house and would prefer to use speedfit right up to the flexi hose that connects to the taps. The mains into the house is earthed just inside the front door under the floor. Thanks in advance, keep up the good work.

[@plumberparts]

Hi Karl. Yes that’s fine mate.

[@MT-yc6qk]

So entertaining watching a guy from another country do some plumbing. I've never tried soldering copper pipes although I would love to. Then again that's not really a thing in Finland anymore as press fittings have taken over. Are you guys in the UK required to run some kind of pressure tests on your pipes after installation?

[@chimp2k2]

Yes, we pressure test our pipework. Usually to 10 bar.

[@handle1196]

3 questions on this. 1. Should pipe be sleeved through masonry and stud walls, and what material for the sleeve? 2. Does a washer need a water hammer arrestor? 3. Why did you require them off sets and not just come through lower

[@michaelpearce6720]

Not a plumber but moment. Shouldnt the cold line be under the hot line? also the drain offs couldn't they be on the bottom of the sets to put them at the lowest point? Just asking the questions to improve my understanding, I flaming love your vids, theyve saved me so many times from my DIY Dave landlord.

[@neiltitmus9744]

Kinda but the hot is only hot when its got water going though it i cant see it being a big problem if at all if it has secondard return giving a constant hot pipe in a hotel or some thing it could be a problem but a house like that not so much so , pipes run in floors that have heating pipes and theres no mass outbreak of anything although the water board would have everyone think its the edge of an apocalypse. They had me put a doc 4 inches from a wmc tap for good cause im sure.

[@bashirbutt1456]

Good James keep on singing

[@ArcanePath360]

Nice smart job. When I installed my kitchen sink, the new ceramic sink is deeper and the waste trap was slightly lower, so to use the same exit hole from the house the trap now sits at a 45 degree angle. It seems okay after a year albeit it drains the sink slower. Do I really need to drill a new hole and chuck expanding foam around it to get it level? Am I lazy or worrying about nothing? Thanks

[@neiltitmus9744]

Its not good more of a chance of it blocking up

[@ArcanePath360]

@@neiltitmus9744 Well that was 4 years ago and about 2 years ago I set it right. Unfortunately after a couple of years it still blocks up. I think the gradient on the middle pipe isn't steep enough. Also bits of my metal scouring cloth keep falling off which I'm sure clog it up too.

[@kylevirginmedia7692]

Hello! Im 14 (15 in 9 days) and I recently did a tiny bit of plumbing work in our kitchen- We are having the kitchen redone so I got myself the job of fitting the new trap for the sink for a telescopic one as the size between the waste pipe and sink were slightly different from having a new sink and the plumbing re-routed to include the new outside taps and to make it neater so the old trap was slightly off and putting excess stress on the pipework causing a leak on the trap. It went well apart from when I didn't realise the dishwasher was turned on and decided to drain itself, I didn't know until I heard the pump kick in and water start running out the pipe into the bucket I had below lol. I quite enjoyed the little bit of screwing/unscrewing of pipework lol! I was considering going into plumbing in the future but (And most plumbers will probaly hate me for this lol) Ive decided to go into electrical!

[@kylevirginmedia7692]

Yeah, something put me off plumbing. For some reason, and I have no clue why i'm sometimes scared of like cold water tanks etc. even though they are like just a big plastic tub full of cold water - Scared of them like they are some monster lol - crazy i know. Done a bit of electrical - swapped sockets etc. got work experience next year too.
