Nice one mate

[@jbrooks959]

Your way is a lot quicker than what the college showed me thanks mate

[@elpresidente8730]

I watched every video on how to pull a crossover bend last night and this was bar far the easiest to follow. I pulled by first crossover this morning a piece of scrap 15mm pipe, 10 minutes later I pulled my second on a 3 metre length of 15mm (had to do it in the front garden in order to get the angle....perfect. Then did 2 partial crossovers in 22 mm, spot on. No vice to hand ( though it would have been helpful to have one) so it was all done with just my cheapo 35 quid bender. Thanks James you are a rockstar.

[@simonelson7043]

Graham your a star. Informative, entertaining, funny but you always pass on invaluable information. HUGE thankyou.

[@Cumbriahandyman]

Can we have a video on you getting a treble 20 through that crossover please? ;)

[@tomfox8551]

I was in college and I needed a crossbend and you saved me a lot of time watching this video

[@ericwotton2046]

In electrical I call this a three point saddle. Always fun seeing g different ways of getting a task done. Well done!!

[@damienpeckham2834]

James, thank you for this video! Determined to master this skill I've been out in the shed on this damp morning practicing your methods, over and over. After a few failed, and clumsy, attempts I seem to have it 😁👍

[@trancemadmaz]

Best video of a crossover I've seen

[@plumberparts]

Cheers man! 😎

[@piotrkomorowski9778]

Thanks a lot mate! I am about to bend this crossover tonight , attach it to the unit and solder it all neatly.

[@TheMrSafeTheFirst]

This channel is fantastic! Brilliant! Laavaly! I bloody love it!

[@saidilakhdar8461]

Nice to see you back I hope you enjoyed in Italy

[@Nick-Emery]

Thankyou... that's well better than what my tutor was teaching me

[@antoniogalluccio4213]

Have you done a video for the half Cross over. I mean the pipe that you put in an equal tee fitting for the cold water to overcome the hot?

[@jskyrme]

Excellent vid - very informative. Exactly what I was looking for as I was concerned about using multiple elbows to run pipes over others. Cheers!

[@gxthyn4426]

Life saver mate in a exam rn needed the help 😀

[@petermckiernan5822]

great to see copper bending, in the age of speedfit it's great to get onto an unvented cylinder installation, more bends with less fittings always gives me a massive sense of satisfaction on the job. Nice one!

Good call dude! SUBSCRIBE! ➡️👉 kzbin.info 👈⬅️ IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY! 😎 Reply ·

[@timmclean-inglis9371]

Brings back memories, most of my apprentices to start with looked like a Cow with a musket,, benders in hand

[@timbrown5156]

How did you mark the bender with 90 and 45 degree angles? Top vid btw

[@ChristianBHough]

Thanks James. I'm stating my plumbing course on Monday and have wondered how to do a proper cross over. Thanks. Seems like you enjoyed your holiday and congrats btw. When I came across your channel a few weeks ago I watch ALL your videos in a space of 2 days. Very helpful, thanks - Hold Tight :-)

[@jamesmck896]

How’s it going 10 years later?

[@ChristianBHough]

Well, I'm oftec and gas safe now. Been full time self employed for a good chunk of that time now. Started evenings and weekends around my full time job. Doing all sorts, heating, general plumbing and bathroom refurbs.

[@jamesmck896]

@@ChristianBHough awesome I'm doing a plumbing traineeship myself :)

[@peterburn1587]

That was class mate

[@antoniogalluccio4213]

Amazing video, can I ask how beny degrees was your first bent please. AROUND 60??

[@jbrooks959]

Had to do this a college as a task for level 2 and found this easy the only frame I found hard is lcs

[@block9_438]

.

[@LG-ro5le]

LCS is easy too just a few more annoying extra steps

[@SIDEKICKONYOUTUBE]

Amazing. he really knows how to bend them and vice versa.

[@damienpeckham2834]

Another bit learnt on pipe bending this morning 👍

[@truehurt1542]

Best explanation . thank you

[@MaisonMcdonnell]

Can you do a video on how to correctly calculate pipe before doing bends and how much it stretches on 90, 45 and 30 machine bends

[@london_roubenl]

Brilliant channel 👏 absolutely love it.

[@mgilbey84]

Great videos BTW! How would you chase this into a wall? Is it better to bend a horizontal cold feed over a vertical hot feed, vice versa or does it not matter? . Also can these Bends get away with not being insulated if the majority of the straight sections are?

[@arunrehal4110]

Hi brill video. Thanks. I would be great full if you can also put one for a measured half Passover video please. Got assessments coming up be really helpful the easy way going in to another pipe urgently thank you

[@jugrajsingh8311]

Please make some videos on underfloor heating one manyfolt with 3/4 thermostats wiring and system boiler wiring

[@daveylad2]

When you turned it over and transferred the mark from the center of the pipe, it should have been the back of the pipe imo, if you’re then referencing the last bend from edge of the former which is where the back of the bend will be.

[@Axelinot]

Thanks amazing video

[@FunkSoulClassic89]

this is hard lol you make it look so easy

[@kevinchamberlain7928]

Good job mate! I'm a joiner brushing up cos I got a pipe or two to manhandle! I tend to forget something or other when pipes occasionally hove into view. HOWEVER, I hereby challenge you to bend one freehand for display purposes (please)!

[@kkkokdidjdjt8930]

my sister loves you , I see her watching your videos all the time .she is only 8

[@plumberparts]

Ha! Tell her to 'Hold Tight'. If you want a sticker let me know!

[@shaun7383]

[@loudennum11]

How do you determine how much length of pipe you need

[@davidjingga8356]

Hi, does anyone know how to bend flat copper pipes? I understand I'd have to stuff the flat copper pipes with, like, fine sand so that kinks won't form when bending. But is there a specific tool to bend flat copper pipes with?

[@markbrown156]

Whereabouts in Italy was that

[@terryroche8182]

[@leesmith2653]

Hi everyone, question for you! Why is it when I bend 22mm copper pipe I end up getting heavy marks in it where the little lever arm holds the pipe in place when you bend the pipe? Is my pipe bending machine not very good?

[@Carskinify]

Good thing everybody has a bender like that.

[@plumberparts]

Carskinify Ha!

[@stutterranking]

Morning sir I have just started a plumbing and heating course can you recommend a good pipe bender I can start practising with and take on in to my job when I have completed my course thanks stutter hold tight

[@plumberparts]

Hi there. Use Hilmar. They're pretty good or rothenburger.

[@paulmathias1908]

Good one, cheers.

[@biffoswilly]

I have a heating system that suffers from differential temperatures in every rad top and bottoms are also different what can I do to get symmetrical temps throughout the system Brian

[@plumberparts]

Give the rads a flush! SUBSCRIBE! ➡️👉 kzbin.info 👈⬅️if you haven't already!

[@biffoswilly]

***** I will in the summer when the weather is less likely to freeze. Thanks I was kinda hoping to get away till then I am an ex plumber who now earns a crust in the design office so my hand is out of practice as they say. Enjoyed your channel.. I like the pin hole trick I have used a self tapping screw wrapped in ptfe tape round the shaft just below the head.... before now ha ha the things we do to plumb! Another trick Soder a penny on a half inch pipe for a stop end, then you can knock it off later and solder a fitting straight on before that I used to bash the pipe between two hammers if I was short of fittings on a late winters night in a first fix job, and solder the gap but the penny was cheaper than a stop end just dont solder the queens bonce, it may be a bit illegal!

[@gunieapig2667]

Is what your using to bend the copper a bending machine or bending tool ?

[@Micah_Lal]

Pipe bender

[@mrbburba]

It's really weird for me to watch this. I have no need for this! I have no house, and im living in a apartment that the house owner fix everything. But i'm enjoying to see your videos. Keep it up!.

[@-onion-.]

thanks alot i was waiting for this vedio

[@roberttownsend9139]

Is that hard or soft copper ?

[@plumberparts]

Ready salted, normal copper!

[@brandywell44]

You could always buy a crossover section to solder into your pipework if you dont have anything to do your bending with

[@hardyaaron3801]

had to make kinky sets today and my pass over bends were shocking. had to watch this

[@plumberparts]

Did it help you out? PP!

[@hardyaaron3801]

Watched it a couple of times. It should did! Nice one.

[@mohsenkia3176]

Could you semi crossover pending please

[@plumberparts]

On the list mate!

[@Jamietg9]

Does this same rule apply to 22mm cooper??

[@plumberparts]

Pretty much!

[@TheFatman2436]

[@plumberparts]

Wheeyyyy!

[@pb03brar47]

[@salimmiah9035]

[@lanceevans7356]

[@chrisdexter5292]

Fuck, if I only had this when I was an apprentice. I remember practicing for hours on scrap copper

[@jamief1979]

if you can bend a 35mm cross over a 28 mm piece ov pipe jaz using your benders you defo r the mutz nutz pal ha

[@shaunmorgan6831]

👊🏾

[@wrongmark]

Driving in Italy: if you’re not doing 50+mph at all times, you’re getting overtaken especially on a single car width road with a blind bend up ahead.

[@MrFasttrowel]

# ask the plumber Whats the weirdest/ funnyst thing you have come across found or seen on a job maybe you wish you didnt????

[@plumberparts]

Added!

[@MrFasttrowel]

cheers ears

[@alwaysdisputin9930]

lol yeah triple twenty is even more higher

[@paulw4904]

That’s not a former!....that’s the guide! The former is the curved part that forms the bend.

[@robunome2405]

Hi M8 Luv the Vid! George is a Very Hansom Tabby! Do give him a hug from I! :)

[@Tampo-tiger]

I call my pipe bender Will Young.

[@plumberparts]

Very nice!

[@cfoster1987cf]

Save time and just buy an endex crossover saves messing about! !

[@SkillBuilder]

Yes but if you lose or your skills to convenience products you will never be able to manage without them. Better to see bends than fittings and fewer chances of leaks.

No wonder the cat looked grumpy, that collar was for a lady cat. Poor thing, will have no street cred.
