at least you still have your sense of humour ....mine would have gone ages ago

I love your attention to detail, I’ve never worked on systems anywhere near that big or complicated but I’m fascinated watching the project and taking ideas on how you work and plan things.

Nice one Todd -- yes i think most of us have been fhere with a fitting like that -- iv'h had tthat same problem even on 8 + 10 mm fittings ! -- and like you i don't like giving in -- most time it happens on a Friday afternoon at about 4pm eh !! -- take care Jim ..

That looked very annoying to deal with gg. Merry Christmas thanks for all the vids this year, time for the youtube algorithm to kick in and boost your subs .

Did you unsolder to fitting to see what the problem was. 🤔

Honesty is good cheeky tip if only leaking on heating us a bit of leaded solder just a bit of useless information

[@kaiser9100]

I’m a commercial plumber and have I’ve came across this a number of times unfortunately. Either the female end is too big or the male end of the reducer is too small making the gap too big for the solder to fill. In the past I have closed the gap up using pliers to get me by if I didn’t have a spare fitting on me.

For me the worst re offender is when dealing with is sewage but all the best mate

[@johnadams1976]

Do you have to add more flux, or will it pull in anyway

[@joeypriestman6783]

Fittings like that are a pisstake, FairPlay for showing real world stuff. I’d have my shit long before that. I had a bundle of pipe the other day and everytime I used a pushfit fitting on it, it pissed out no matter what. Looked closer and every length had a score mark from top to bottom and the rubber o rings weren’t sealing. Wolsey compensated straight away but yeah I’ve checked everytime now 😅

[@charliewillis8527]

If you had bent the pipe up you wouldn't have had so .any joints .my tripod bender does 35mm and you can get a machine todo 42mm

[@ciananmchugh410]
