[@bensimmons3692]

nice one Mark__

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks Ben 👍🏼👍🏼🙌🏼

[@meuk6929]

little tip for the laser line. If you cant fix it to a wall or to need to keep moving the height, instead of those clamps use a wood saw hung up and the magnets of the laser to set the correct height.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Yep I do that a lot when there’s nothing to put it on…. Cracking little hack

[@kierand9410]

Don’t you then need somewhere to hang the wood saw though? Or have I misinterpreted that?

[@faisalmoghal4055]

​@@kierand9410just whack a temporary screw in the stud and the saw can hang off it

[@brianhume4743]

All talking over each other, inaudible 👎

[@simonwaldron3535]

Is this the comic part of the fitting job. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

A lot of fun mate

[@hammy1988]

I recently replaced a load of old Triton T300SI's with Triton Envi's in office blocks. I didn't realise you had a hand in the design. Still got 5 to go in a different building, just waiting on the quote to get approved. Great bit of kit good quality, too.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Yes mate…. Think there’s a video on here when I was about to reveal it…. Would of been about 18months ago👍🏼👍🏼

[@hammy1988]

Follow you both, never expected to see this collab! 🎉

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Pleasant surprise then 😉👌🏼

[@designerbuilds]

Great vid! I’ve used HDPE pipe that was left outside and it split. Learned the hard way that blue pipe isn’t uv resistant. Mine had that same chalky look at the trough. Worst case it leaks outside.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate 👍🏼👍🏼

Done mine already ,nice project there ,👍👍

Gidday Mark. First of all, I enjoy watching your videos. It is interesting to see how plumbing varies around the world. Here in Australia, we have a very strict plumbing code, Plumbing Regulations and Plumbing Standards and the ubiquitous Manufactures Instructions. I'm amazed at the number of plastic fittings English plumbers are permitted to use in wall cavities. In Australia these mechanical fittings are prohibited in wall cavities unless there are purposely installed access panels for obvious reasons. What I would be interested in knowing, is there a "standard" water pressure in England? Ours is 500kpa or 72.5 psi or 5 bar. Here, we are also inundated with numerous pex piping pex fittings and pex crimpers from different manufactures. It's a bloody nightmare, so we tend run our piping in the roof cavities as it offers the most accessibility. All said and done, Keep up the good work and keep on plumbing.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate, always interested in hearing about how plumbing is different around the world… We work to a max of 3bar in the uk

[@Kevin-ip8uf]

here in north america the domestic pressures vary WILDLY. often in rural areas you determine your own pressure by using/adjusting the pressure switch since they are on well water and pumps in these rural areas. a lot of them cut in at 40 psi and cut out at 60, but 50/70s are pretty common too, and they can easily be adjusted with turning the nut on the stems - basically as long as your pressure tank is charged to the correct pressure you can use whatever you want. Even in areas with town water the pressure can vary pretty good depending on the home's elevation compared to the water supply, though many homes employ a pressure regulator at the point of entry between the meter and the shut-off in the home. PEX is king here, whether it be the expanded PEX A or the crimped PEX B...some people use those manablock manifolds like a sparky uses a fuse box, there will be a home run of piping with minimal/no fittings between the manifold and the end user.

[@tonymurff5234]

Great Bit of Banter Mark Brilliant 😂 😎👍🤜

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate….. great fun

[@edmondchege7381]

It's just amazing, Mr. j Tiff

[@kevinmccormack5192]

Have you tried the atmospheric boilers? Very popular in Spain just need some gas bottles and changeover valves.

Fantastic video Mark

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate glad you liked it

[@johngreaves4202]

Cracking video as always, Mark! New to the plumbing scene, any particular reason you choose to use polyplumb over the other demountable plastic brands?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate….. I always use polyplumb as the pipe is so flexible 👍🏼👍🏼

[@SouthWestWildernessScotland]

Very good Mark, i was just wondering, does that water main need something like a tracer cable put in with it due to the long distance through the field?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Don’t think so mate, it’s well documented where it’s going… will find out though

[@actorlyric]

Decent job fella. Shame they didnt use cement board for the shower area. Those triton envy's are ok but dont have a great life expectancy esoecially in hard water areas . Used to fit alot of the generation before the envy , same principle really remote box with a different user interface. Same can be said on most ekectric showers really . Looking forward to seeing the finished article. 👍

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Don’t need cement boards as it’s being tanked with BW1… Don’t have a great life…. They have only been out for 10months mate…🤣🤣…… Any electric shower in a hard water area won’t do more than 3 years….. that’s what I advise unless you fit a scale reducer or filter Finish will be very smart in this build

[@56ty78ui]

2 questions: 1. Who the heck is Mat Armstrong? 2. Who are the children you are working with?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

2 answers- 1- one of THE biggest automotive KZbinrs on the planet 2- The boys are a lot of fun to be around and are full of energy… nothing wrong with that mate

[@56ty78ui]

@@MJTiffPlumbing In conclusion. 1 he's not a mechanic and has fell on lucky ground, rich parents. 2. If you didn't know them or indeed have a social media following, you would fcuking hate them, i know you can't say the truth. But, fcuk me, they are annoying. 1 kiss for yes 2 for no X

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

You couldn’t be more wrong on both counts…..

[@fieldie]

Im just curious: When putting in a shower base, I've always tiled the walls first then sealed the base into place, have i been doing it wrong?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Yep you want to do it this way mate…. Tile down onto the tray, a lot better and seals it all in

[@fieldie]

@MJTiffPlumbing makes sense, well, next time I know how, cheers 🍻

[@malikfaal9742]

Why no aqua board used in shower area ???

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

BW1 tanking system going in to completely seal it up…..

[@mdocko2285]

Man them Unilite lads were right bells 😂

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

They are top lads mate, full of beans and great to be around.

[@mdocko2285]

@MJTiffPlumbing I'm sure they are just couldn't deal with that energy all day would just want crack on. Looking good anyway Mark 👌🏼

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate…. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@effervescence5664]

I was really impressed right up until I saw the boys put plasterboard on the wall. Your work is quality as always though.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate….. it’s all completely tanked now with BW1 tanking system and sealed…. Not a problem if done right

[@riptiz]

Hope you are filming the shower fit, I’m having one of these.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Yep…. I help develop them with Triton😉👌🏼

[@riptiz]

@@MJTiffPlumbing yes I saw that video, told my wife just what we need during our house refurb. Look really neat. Our airing cupboard and boiler back onto the wall where the shower is so perfect for fitting and hiding the box.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Perfect for the Envi then mate…👍🏼👌🏼

[@BestUserNameUK]

Half arsed job. Where's the waterproof tile backer, joint taping & tanking?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Half arsed comment mate…… have you seen the next video…. No🤣🤣🤣 Fully tanked out with BW1 buddy….

@MJTiffPlumbing never ever normal plasterboard in shower place NEVER Doesn't matter what you put on the top Not blaming you this wasn't your job

[@Sam.147]

Minimum depth for a mains water pipe is 750mm and it should have been sleeved across its entire length bud.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

So many conflicting things online and talking to people…. Everyone does it different and even water companies do it different to what you’ve said bud.

[@Sam.147]

@@MJTiffPlumbing water regs state that the minimum depth is 750mm to a maximum of 1350mm.

Lee would have had that trench dug in about 10 minutes if he was on the digger Mark

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

I know someone who would end up in that trench aswell 🤣🤣🤣

[@flashheart7675]

Think it’s between 750mm min to 1.5m for water pipes and electric is 500mm but Completely off topic but had a belter emergency plumbing repair some idiot burglars tried to break through a wall with the water main to 8 apartments an burst the pipe getting full pressure in a small 2m square meter room and they fell backwards into the light on the wall breaking the bulb giving them a nice belt of 240v at the same time haha sound like a episode of brassic or something haha

No way 😮😮🤣🤣
