Looking good... coming along nicely. the diagram was a bit optimistic going around that kitchen island, but you found a way that works.

Great Job 👍👍 The pink 🩷 pipe looks awesome

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate…. Pink looks so good it’s a shame to cover it up🫣

[@wonkey3733]

What are you laying it on top of, is that screed or some sort of insulation ?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thick DPM went down, then calitex insulation, then thin DPM then UFH

[@garystuart226]

Hi Mark, as always an awesome video and job, useto really like working on UFH , remember going for a couple of days to uponor to also learn about there UFH systems , when I done jobs I really liked them providing a full layout of how the UFH pipes should be spaced / laid , for some reason found it very therapeutic laying the manifold out along with ensuring all the pipes where installed just so, same as your good self where u take such pride and attention to each and every job , such a joy watching ur videos mark , also useto really enjoy fault finding and being like a detective , lol, some of my favourite jobs were the nightmare ones where previous companies couldn’t diagnose what was wrong , then getting that fantastic feeling of pride and seeing a very happy customer once the error has been resolved , thks again and look forward to the next one , stay safe and well

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks for the comment Gary…👍🏼👍🏼…. Glad you liked the video

[@garystuart226]

@@MJTiffPlumbing , ur so welcome , must confess haven’t heard of the snug systems before , will be interesting to see if the pins stick over time , admittedly always used either uponor or Honeywell controls , alas know Honeywell went through issues at one time on there 2 & 3 ports along where the actuator balls would swell up when they came into contact with fernox , plus don’t know if u come across it a lot where previous people have cut out massive notches in the floor joists , particular under the bath where the waste pipe is, then having to sister a joist in to repair there bodges , thks again for sharing an insight into ur workdays, stay safe and well

Was that concrete under the sheeting mate or foam matting

Concrete then insulation

Will save you so much time and make life a lot easier….. this is from “The Underfloor Heating Company”

[@chrisholt2474]

Hi Mark, yes another great plumbing film, I’m enjoying this with the under floor heating install. You appear to be enjoying this job too. I look forward to the next episode. Sorry for my late comment, been on a plumbing job, didn’t get home until 22.00. Have a great week and as always take care, regards, Chris. 👍👍👍

Thanks Keith…… it’s all about the planning buddy. Yer I’m hoping it does…. I have another part to this all ready filmed but I’m back this coming week

[@davidroth7586]

Hi mark in the north east where i am building control would flip ther lid if i drilled holes in the joists where you and sparky have.. ( drilling zones) there called. Do your building control not have this. Thanks for another great video mate 🤙👍🤙👍🤙👍

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Never had an issue with it buddy….

[@davidroth7586]

@@MJTiffPlumbing we have to divide the joist on to 5 Equal sections, number them from 1 to 5 from the left and no one is allowed to drill in section 1,3 and 5. They reckon it reduces the integrity of the joist if you do.🤯🤯🤯. Try and explain that to a sparky who just wants to go the fastest route possible.🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Great video: tidying up that vipers nest of pipework when you did the bathroom really starts to pay dividends. Plus I liked that natty bit of editing about 16 minutes in, where you had one seamless sentence across four different shots, like something off the Fast Show: In't plumbing brilliaant!!

[@ricks9270]

Hi Mark, another great video. Im sorry if this has been asked before, but, can you not use all plastic pipe instead of plastic and copper?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

You can do but it looks horrible when I show…. I always do pipework in Copper where you will see it when 1st fixing in plastic

[@rush211251]

The boiler manufacturers state that if using plastic pipe , at least the first meter from the boiler should be in copper !

[@diddywright6165]

Nice content bud👍🏻 those staplers need redesigning they are indeed a pita when they jam!

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Completely agree mate…. Proper pain

[@jordandavies2528]

Hi mark, the gun jams when the staple swings out of the chamber as you press. It will happen a lot more to you because you are holding the gun the wrong way round. Turn it so the staples are facing away from you so they naturally lean into the chamber and you will find it will jam less often.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Now I didn’t know that!!!!!….. you learn something new everyday. Thanks buddy

Hello Mark love you videos! Do you cover the Solihull area?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate….. sorry I don’t I’m afraid

[@riverpud]

What ufh pipe you using Mark …. Pert !

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Surprised you missed it…… I use Snug Underfloor Heating for all my UFH jobs

[@riverpud]

Ah ok thanks Mark was just curious that’s all. Been plumbing /heating for 37 yrs 😂 install a lot of ufh along with geo and air source heat pumps ,used to use pert initially but now pert/al/pert and pex/al/pex more nowadays Live in Ireland I’d use 500 meter coils generally and any ufh pipe left over too short to do a loop I’d lag and use for plumbing.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

👍🏼👍🏼

[@ajmcdonagh7730]

In Ireland it’s 150mm centres

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

It all depends on what system/heatloss/pattern of pipe etc etc….. that when the company does the calls and let’s you know. Overboard systems tend to be 150 centres

[@gazm5805]

Do you not wear a wedding ring as a plumber so u don’t scratch porcelain and other things, always wondered, love the videos 👍🏻

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

I don’t wear one incase I get the skin ripped off my finger due to catching it…. I’ve seen it happen on site and the guys skin come off his finger like a glove😮😮

[@riptiz]

@@MJTiffPlumbingI once worked with a guy who lost his finger as he slipped climbing down a ladder and his ring caught, all his weight went on his finger but he didn’t realised his finger had ripped out of the socket until he got to the ground and somebody asked him why his hand was bleeding

[@Tom_Plumb_PHS]

I've got a tungsten ring that won't scratch. I do normally wear gloves to be fair anyway but Mark makes a great point about catching your finger. Not something I'd thought about before.

I wouldnt want my coldwater right next to a heathing pipe especially without isolation. Legionella, otherwise good job!!

[@dgmclar]

Am I missing something, coming from someone who is trying to fix a damp floor problem in house from no DPM. Have you not just punctured the membrane 100 times, so there may aswell have been no membrane laid at all? Builder shouldn't have bothered there's 200 quid saved

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Yep, you are missing something….. this is how all staple UFH systems are laid buddy👍🏼👍🏼

[@dgmclar]

​​​​@@MJTiffPlumbing so I'm missing nothing, it's how all systems are laid so you have done nothing wrong and done it the right way but it completely destroys the DPM... Doesn't seem a good way to do it, it should be done using velcro tabs and I'm not a builder or plumber but it's not rocket science to see a membrane that's supposed to be sealed to keep out damp absolutely destroyed and compromised with 1,000 staples put in it. It may aswell have not been laid at all tbh

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

As said, yes you are missing something….. There is a thick DPM laid down, then the insulation, then the top layer of DPM….. The top layer hasn’t been “completely destroyed” it’s been punctured by clips that will seal to a degree….. however as there is a thick DPM between the concrete floor and the insulation this is not a problem what so ever….it’s how it’s done.

[@robertfield5237]

The dpm is below the insulation the membrane mark is clipping his pipes too is usually just there for liquid screed jobs this is very common practice it’s not a damp membrane

[@allanmould2633]

Good vid mark

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks buddy

[@steveyboyXRP]

No need for a 2port zone valve on underfloor loop actuactors via stat will do the job

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

2port zone valve designed into the system buddy….. If the heating in the whole house is off and they want the UFH on…… without zone valves the whole house will come on…. It’s quite simple

[@steveyboyXRP]

Why not use rail fix

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

I prefer this method mate…… there’s a lot of different ways of going it, with the celitex insulation this is the way I wanted this one to be laid

[@steveyboyXRP]

If its a live gas pipe you will have to call a heating engineer

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

A GAS engineer mate, not a heating engineer😉 Indeed I will IF it is.……. I know that buddy

[@steveyboyXRP]

@@MJTiffPlumbing 99.9% of heating engineers are gas safe 🥱
