WOW !! - seen several vids by plumbers, and this is easily the best. Thanks Mark for taking time and effort to do a "proper job". No wobbly camerawork, no annoying music, just lots of really useful info from an experienced, methodical, calm, "instructor"; including little things the others (the bodgers?) omitt to mention, like using smooth grips to safeguard new valves, or measuring twice before drilling, and so on. AND best of all for me, this boiler is the same as ours, an old-style Vaillant - your vid had shown me in one minute what's taken me hours to find elsewhere, wrt re-pressurising the system. I just wish the towel rail we inherited with our house is as massive as this one. Thanks again !.

Thanks for your comments. Makes it all really worthwhile.👍👍👍

[@adrianedwards3212]

Couldn't agree more!

[@karhukivi]

Excellent! I will now have to see where my old Riello/Amanda boiler gets its water feed from. Very professional, thank you!

[@shawkard]

Most helpful, thoroughly enjoyable & educational presentation I’ve seen on this subject . Thank you

[@glendacornes3253]

Best videos I’ve ever seen all are brilliant! *****

[@PJANGELES30]

Very professional. Obviously knows his job.

[@royboy4564]

Cheers Mark, thanks for a first class video.

[@fatshady808]

Simple to the point and well produced thanks Mark.

[@silvertoothpick]

Incredibly well organised and informative mini-tutorial that's well worth watching from start to finish. If anything, this will save time and effort by doing it right the first time. Now, where are my goggles and Speedos in case I turn the house into a swimming pool! Thanks for the brilliant video.😉

Hi, well stated about the amount of times you wrap the ptfe tape around, too many people doing similar jobs on here quote 8-10 wraps! Clearly that’s not enough, 1 do 21-22 plus jet blue as well, proper instructions for those whom want to have a go fitting a radiator.

[@123a-o5d]

The instructions for my towel radiator say 'at least 6 wraps'. I'm going to do a few more (despite the time and extra expense!).

[@london_roubenl]

Brilliant information thanks for your free time and knowledge.

Hello Mark. I have been watching lots of your content recently and just wanted to say how professional the delivery is and how helpful it has been in aiding me to learn and do a few plumbing jobs. Huge thanks!

[@Marktb363]

Thank you Mark, very detailed, always learn something from your videos; thanks for sharing.

[@AHMAD00800]

I love your videos, they are so helpful with lots of details and tons of tips.

[@thefunster64]

Great video, I wish I had watched it before starting my project. I did pretty well but it would have been tons easier.

[@depniff]

Good timing. My towel radiator sprung a leak a week ago. It's fairly old and one of the rails must have rusted through. I've isolated it and bought a replacement which looks like it will fit exactly. So I will hopefully get everything to line up with the old valves and avoid needing to go as far as draining down or putting bungs in the hot water feed. A smaller radiator sprung a leak a few days before (hopefully not a pattern forming) so I'm going to have a look at your videos to swap that one over too.

[@bazouga975]

Very detailed video thank you

[@jeffpop9036]

Just the information I needed

[@tuggers1000]

mate your 20 winds of ptfe tape saved my bacon today. 1st time fitting a towel radiator and the threads were awful. did 5-6 wraps first off and it leaked. then luckily found your video and thought 20 winds was crazy but thank you it has worked. threads must be so cheaply made.

[@AvaGrowth]

Thank you 🎉🙏🏾

[@jeffpop9036]

Really helpful video

[@jonnystark2912]

Brill video thank you, do you have a link to the video where you re direct the pipes

[@paul_my_plumbs_uk]

👍👍👍👍 Mark

[@gf88888]

what size of say allen key (?) or radiator spanner (?) at 19:35 is needed to tighten the threaded joints which go into the radiator at the bottom in my case ?

[@VektorCRO]

Hi. Nice video. Maybe you could help me with some info. I bought the same radiator but I am planing to fit it with electric rod heater. My room is 4 square meters. Would you know how many watts would I need to heat the room with this radiator? Thanks

[@mbplumbing4499]

hi mate love ur vids can u do a vid on how to do a powerflush magnaclean tnks

[@megaman2016]

Hi what are the best radiator brands you'd recommend?

[@blue-sj4lk]

Does it matter what side of the towel heater is used for flow and return?

[@asimf4505]

I have the same question

[@tuna9919]

Hey Mark! Could you tell me why are towel rails connected on the bottom, meanwhile regular radiators have heat running from the top, and the cold water getting out on the opposite sides bottom?

[@daveg6948]

Brilliant video, really helpful thank you, just in time too, I'm going to be fitting the exact same towel radiator so, again, really helpful. one last thing, where do you buy your jet lube from, I've looked on the internet and it all seems to come from America and they want loads of money for postage! thanks.

[@MarkBallardLTDHeatingEngineer]

Try you Local Plumb Center, or Plumbing Merchants.

@@MarkBallardLTDHeatingEngineer That's great, thank you Mark ,I'm on it :-)

[@JPeterz]

Hi Mark. Just bled the radiators and now bar is 2.5. I have hot water but the heating symbol is flashing on the boiler and I have no heating. Any ideas?

[@daithimurphy1832]

Hi I'm replacing a leaking single core radiator with a towel rail however one of the pipes is at an angle coming out of the concrete floor. Could I straighten the pipe by just bending it slightly?

[@fablan3308]

on my radiator in the bathroom there is no thermostat how can I tell which one is the thermostat and which one is locking shield I think 💬

[@rogerwilliams2902]

Bit puzzled as to how the 4 angled male pieces attached to the rails , just slid into the corresponding 4 female straight pieces attached to the wall ?. Doesnt seem possible somehow !!. Unless there is a lot of slack between the male and female ...

[@51dzusi]

I disagre with doing bleed valve super tight you can cut oring and it will leak then .

[@theandroids]

How much does a job like this cost?

[@theandroids]

No answer I see...

[@Participant616]

Over two minutes before he starts actually explaining anything. Waffler.
