On the Essex flange,I always used to draw around the external rubber seal before final fixing to give me a position so I new it was all central on final tightening. Good videos, keep ‘em coming

You should use a flue brush when installing the flange instead of wire,works very well 👍.

Solder ring fittings - you've got Lawton fittings, so they will work as designed 🤘 no need to add any solder. Just flux and heat till you see the ring 🤪. I've had cheep ones fail though 💩. I rarely use them anyway but when I do I use ones I can trust 👍

Great content as always, not done a Essex flange in ages, Got a Surrey flange to fit on Thursday. Thanks for taking the time to make the video Pete

For the extra cost of solder ring over end feed, definitely DONT add solder, once you see the ring appear it job done, if you add solder just buy end feed 😂

Solder fittings are good. I add a little bit extra solder if I see its not fully wrapped around, but generally it always does.

Always get the problem where hot water not being hot enough when the bath taps are fully open (full flow). Have to open bath tap half way in order for it to be hot enough. I have the same in my house, I changed the plate but still the same. Great info on the temperature rise in boiler manual. 👍🏻

When I’ve done the Essex flange in the past I’ve bent the wire over and tied some string to it as a safety net. And also that wire is designed to bend with a bit of pressure so it just pulls out

Great vid , You just pull the wire towards yourself firmly when finished on Essex flange it folds the legs back on itself and comes out (as per instructions)

When I install a cylinder I join the hot outlet into a tee where the drain off is located. The result is completely even heat from top to bottom. (Destratification)
@gmtplumbing85595 ай бұрын
I’m sure it says in the instructions that the pipe should extend through the flange to the center of the cylinder
@kevinisaac91396 ай бұрын
I allways use a Surrey flange no problem 👌
@cliveramsbotty60776 ай бұрын
no problem if you drop the flange in by mistake, just turn the cylinder upside down and shake it

I couldn't understand why the pump was in the loft and not in the cylinder cupboard so you could take the feed off the household feed pipe so no air would get in

@melvinanezi92366 ай бұрын
The manufacturer has gone to great lengths to add just the right amount of solder in the ring of the fitting. Why is it that people feel the need to flood the fitting with more solder? I don’t personally use solder ring myself much but when I do i definitely wouldn’t add more solder never have and I’ve never had a problem when using them with just the solder that’s within the fitting itself. Clean flux apply heat job done.

I am a Plumbing & heating engineer. And I’m considering the purchasing a press fitting tool. I have folded your channel for some time now and think it’s great. I would value your opinion on which press tool to buy. Alpha ? Novapress? Milwaukee? Rothenberger? Keep up the great work. Regards Richard

Great VIDEO When I do this I take the immersion out and feed a piece of solder through and out of the new hole this way you can cut A smaller hole. If using solder ring or not always ad solder they should be alright if you get a nice ring of solder around the joint. Regards Lawrence PETERS

The presoldered fittings are brilliant. I never had any problems with them and never had to add solder.

Why are you fitting it the air bubbles track the side of the cylinder to top. Shower pump attachments have tube that takes water from away from the side
@peterwhitehouse52346 ай бұрын
hi Pete am I right (remember from college water regs) that the cold supply shouldn't come from the mains and needs to be tapped into below the hot tapping in tank . because if someone turns off water supply would just have scouding water coming through shower ? I never hear anyone say or mention this when see shower fitted .

You don’t add solder as there integral capillary cooper fittings. No solder needed but you will need to clean both end of cooper pipe and fitting. Use flux to help the solder flow and join the two surfaces together. Hope that helps 👍
