Started my professional plumbers course in September 2018 on my 6035 level 2 before my NVQ level 2. Your videos I watch religiously since I started my first two weeks practical your tips and videos are really good tools for me as I learn better through visually watching. Cant wait to get out the on the tools. Hopefully have my own plumb proud work on your Instagram.

[@richardmccann9293]

I've just started my 6035 Level 2 a month ago at my local college, evening classes. Planning to do the NVQ level 2 afterwards too, just like you! Have you finished your NVQ now? How did it all go in the end?

[@socaked840]

Currently learning the trade, got a wall covered in revision cards but without practical experience I'm struggling to really take it all in! Thanks for your videos: huge help to see things actually being done! If anyone has any tips for a plumber-in-training to get more experience, please let me know! 25 & thought it was time to leave office life behind and learn something useful, rewarding and enjoyable!! Thanks!!!!

[@johncurry2114]

James, great video again, just one point, never run a cold pipe over a hot one as you get heat transfer up and that will trigger a legionella problem,

[@DT-gn4qw]

Jamie dude, how’s it gone? I’m just about to start level 2 at 33 years old. Need some good vibes, I’ve been in an office my whole life

[@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.

[@CurvedSlightly]

Plumbers have training? I thought they just scammed their way through on the job?

[@anglosaxon9604]

It's good practice to run hot pipes above cold pipes.

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.

Hi Karl. Yes that’s fine mate.

[@ianjonas7925]

Hiya, why do you sleeve the 15mm pipes through the wall, is that best practice?

[@deaosatori216]

Do the hot and cold water lines need to have an angle or can they be level?

[@Richard-ys2ns]

I use a wet and dry vac to remove any water from dripping and ground level pipes. Works great!

[@soyabean911]

You're a Superstar. Great personality! Hold tight.

[@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.

[@Sarah-Collen]

Hi James, What is the bread method for draining pipes? Thanks Sarah

[@FreeFinca]

Poke a bit of bread up the pipe, soaks up the water and leaves you with an emergency snack if the chippy is closed 👍🏻

[@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.

[@volcanojuice]

This guy 😂 Good stuff Good stuff

[@macplastering]

Very good plumber

[@petersalmon7401]

I enjoy all your tips and videos. I wonder if you can answer this problem I have. Occasionally I get hot water coming out of the cold position on a mixer tap. This has happened to 3 different mixer taps. Any ideas please?

[@petersalmon7401]

@@moonstar21868 Not very nice, you telling me to shove off. Insulting really.

[@petersalmon7401]

I’m surprised you’ve taken 2 years to respond to my question but telling me to shove off, and hop it, makes you sound very arrogant and big headed. Which does come across in many of your videos. Your lessons in plumbing are good but your attitude leaves a lot to be desired. Your response to me makes you look very immature. Maybe success has gone to your head. Very sad.

[@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.

[@plumberparts]

Good luck dude!

[@mrnothing249]

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?

[@swrdashy]

Amazing way to demo your skills buddy… learnt a lot from you so far… I know you don’t care anyway 🤗😂

[@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

[@United-Til-I-Die]

Hi James, won't them check valves further up the pipe negate the drain offs as the water won't be able to come back down? 🤔

[@plumberparts]

Nah mate as they’re fitted to permit flow to the drain offs...not the other way. 😎

[@United-Til-I-Die]

@@plumberparts ahh right, does everything go up before it comes back down 👍

Been doing a bit of pipe work (outdoor tap) and all I’ve been able to taste in my mouth is copper. Washed my hands endlessly. I don’t know how you guys deal with it.

[@AmirKhan-qx2lr]

why did you sleeve the two 15mm holes in the beginning rather than just sliding the 15mm copper through the wall?

[@darrenmitchell25]

What are you using too cut the solvent tube?

[@davidgorrie7606]

brilliant mate love your work , dg ,

[@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.

[@shellyizzet1589]

Hi, how much would a job like this cost?

[@SteS]

Do you use a laser level? Suppose it would mean less pencil marks on the wall.

[@SteS]

@chonburi11 haha. Yeah that too. But laser level would be so much faster plus you don't have tiny pieces of tissue paper all over 😂. Just picked up a laser measuring tool leica d2 and don't know how I managed without. Next purchase is a laser level.

Why are you still solder instead of using geberit mapress?

[@chimp2k2]

Price mainly. The cost of a blow lamp, flux and solder is probably a 20th the cost of buying a press machine system.

Why if the supplies were on a drop and you made provision for service draining that drop did you then not install The D.O.C ‘s in the low point ???

[@Something11219]

The only thing that kinda bothers me is the sanitary tee in a horizontal position, like I've seen in one comment where i am from its against the code as well... it will still work obviously however long turn tee-wye or a wye-45 seems just a better practice.

James, try adding a Bosch integrated dishwasher next to that sink and it won’t fit!!! Pulling my hair out please HELP? Your pipes run conveniently in the void that normal kitchen units have at the back BUT the Bosch integrated dishwasher has NO space at all at the back for ANY service pipes to pass!!! If I just fit it its not going to be integrated because it will stick out about an inch!!!
