Refreshing to see a plumber who's happy to work, pleasant & not humming and hawing, cheers fella!

[@Cumbriahandyman]

Would have really appreciated seeing how you piped that up.

[@waylonkurts3938]

Wow, this video was tremendously helpful. I went fiddling with mine for half an hour before coming here. Eleven minutes of engaging information later, I'm ready to install it proper! No doubt this video took some effort to produce, so thank you. You've saved a lot of time among everyone you've helped.

[@christopherbyrne18]

The piping up was the part I wanted to see. Hanging them is a piece of cake. Adjusting piping and valves is tge tricky part

[@jackshea6937]

Simply the BEST DIY video I've even seen, Super!

[@gilormsplay]

Wow, really skilled and knowledgeable in all aspects.

[@RhinorailsCoUk]

Thanks for the great video and step by step guide on installing a heated towel rail

[@joannatownley4419]

Brilliant video! Very concise and easy to follow, really good videoing skills of the finer details too, thank you! 😃

[@paulm2322]

Excellent. Thank you.

[@incognitobfd]

Good video.

[@kalvink100]

Excellent, many thanks.

[@traderadiators]

Glad it helped!

[@galatei11]

Thanks for the video, it was exactly as I was thinking of doing it, and I have the exact same case of replacing single panel CH rad with a towel rad.

[@ronsheldon9194]

like all you utube posts helps a lot and likes you style brill

[@grahamd4764]

Hi. Do I need to take off the existing locksheild and TRv valves from the pipework and replace with ones compatible for the towel radiator? Sorry for sounding dumb but thought better to ask rather than dangerously guess. Thanks. Great video from you as usual.

[@garrettlinehan467]

We like it alot

[@redts12]

I enjoyed your video. Just installed a heated towel rack in my bathroom, although it was to dry wall, not tile. They are not common in the States, but I just love mine.

[@traderadiators]

Thanks for your comment Gray, I know we can't believe they are not common in the states either, they are the perfect solution for the bathroom.

[@AlexinOslo]

Are there any videos on how to prep plumbing for a heated towel rack during new construction?

[@NivagSwerdna]

Hold Tight! Isn't it that chap from PlumberParts? Must have been a real challenge to avoid singing during the recording. :o)

[@ConcreteJungle7]

💥💥 Big up @Raj 💥💥

[@JonFoxNRG]

Hi Trade Radiators, Please can you help me with my following Question. I have a Combi boiler (quite new) and i also have a small radiator in my bathroom which i am wanting to change to a towel rad. However It is confusing me at the moment. I've been told that because i want it permanently on i should just fit two Lock shield valves on it. Is that true or do i need a TRV on one side along with a bypass valve ?. I also want to keep the cost down as much as possible. So would a Standard valve and 1 lock shield be find to use without a bypass ? Many Thanks

[@abyates600]

I have a towel rail to put on a tiled wall which is plasterboard behind can you just go in to the tile or make the hole bigger and add plasterboard fixings, some people say just go into the tile thanks

[@javpothupitiya9938]

Great video. Very helpful. On another note is it just me or do you sound just like the penguin from Gotham 😶

[@noelyboy6969]

You need to show us how to drain the system

[@amazoniaamazonia7225]

Good video, should have finished with piping up.

[@AlexinOslo]

Do these radiators come with a template showing you where the holes are instead of taking so much risk with measuring?

[@phil3332]

no

[@AlexinOslo]

@@phil3332 A guy on a Ukrainian blog said they do come with templates.

[@JFaithfull]

I have been trying to install this set up but I keep refilling and leak testing (4 times now!) and find leaks around one or both of the the spigot tapered threads. One seems to go in all the way up the thread while the other still has some thread visble once tight. I notice (now that I see this video!) you say "don't tighten too tight" but I have been tightenting as tight as I can, which seems to 'ruffle' the ptfe. should I apply more ptfe and leave a little looser to let the ptfe form the seal? I think when tightening, I can feel that I'm tightening to the point of getting through the ptfe and have the metal threads tightening against eachother. is that too tight? Any help would be great. ((I've always avoided tackling plumbing in the past but having youtube these days has enabled us laymen to tackle previously mystifying tasks. But there's no substitute for 'on the job' knowledge and experience, and doing these things for the first time is sometimes 'trying' (£**&%&£& ***&%^$ )"(*$£&$&£^$%%**************cks!.... to say the least - after what has turned into 11 hours to basically fit a towel rail to the wall - looks nice but the house is cold! - You've got to laugh I guess! ))

[@TheBroadyBikers]

Did you sort it in the end. Not enough ptfe tape?

[@JFaithfull]

Yep, I ended up using the thicker 'gas' PTFE, which seemed to have resolved the issue (thankfully I'm not still installing it 8yrs after my initial post!!😂😂😂). 😊​@@TheBroadyBikers

[@TheBroadyBikers]

@@JFaithfull 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I just came across the same issue. I googled it lol...lol. I noticed he never got back to you. Cheers for remembering lol

[@johnward1475]

What if the wall is not tiled

[@poshdan1988]

This was a great video until you literally skipped over the most important bit

[@josephmwanza4963]

Thought the same

[@kdog3845]

Was extremely frustrated. He should of mentioned that first haha

[@mofaz3475]

Thats the only bit I came here for. What a disappointment. 1* :)

[@TheAriiiiii]

would of been nice to see the pipes being done.

[@stevemiller8794]

They don’t seem to radiate heat, very hot to touch but traditional rad much better to heat the room

[@jonathanclayton3918]

HOLD TIGHT

[@gdotmoney96]

U made the same video 1 year later and still never shown the plumbing part!!

[@BobMc87]

Yeah I've just watched the other one.... no pipe work!

[@mwalker6323]

Really frustrating that you just didn't show the piping up bit at normal speed.

[@Ana-zm3td]

You just missed the most important part

[@gurdyvilkhu1107]

Watched to see pipework and nothing 🙈

[@vasiliypupkin1274]

Trade radiators administration, you kill whole idea of nice clip with Jimmy, to tell him not make jokes and be funny. Now this boring clip as rest of clips with installation on youtube. LET JIMMY BE HIM SELF!!!

[@traderadiators]

Vasiliy Pupkin Hi Vasiliy thanks for your comment. We just let Jimmy do his thing we don't dictate the style. He does play a lot more straight for our videos though. Check out our latest video though of Jimmy being much more himself - kzbin.info/www/bejne/npuTZqdnZctrj9k
