[@Trade920]

It takes alot of effort to stop and record your work in the day and then go home and edit/upload it, appreciate the hard work and quality content you provide PB thank you

[@Skeletoncrew46and2]

Bending tutorial would be amazing mate,if you could find the time.

[@jewellers]

2nd that! Well said

[@Plaqsaq]

Although this is 1 of the older video of yours, I highly respect you for building up that ATAG with all the pipes and stuff, absolute craftmanship from a real craftman! Greetings from the Netherlands!

[@fredpanahi5041]

Outstanding pipe bending and installation well done Peter 💞💯💛💚💙

[@alfredosalazar526]

im 22 been a plumber for two years officially, in California, i don't have a lot of role models where i work and you sir give me hope in this career path, wish i new more plumbers like you, man i need to move to a new company !!!

[@MJ-ce6tv]

I would love to see an instructional video on how you bend pipes. Great vid.

[@lewisbromilow9046]

He’s done some in the past but it was the basics, still worth a watch tho

[@thefunksoulplumber22]

Its not difficult at all. I can show you how to do it ;)

[@lewib8526]

Great idea on maximising the flow rate on the hot water. 👍🏻

[@davejones6812]

As you said, as a plumbing contractor in America, even though you think a job is going to take 3 days and it takes 4 you just need to keep your head down and crack on and get through it. Love your videos.

[@Micktheadventurer]

Been watching your videos for years mate. Thank you so much 🙏. Starting my ACS next week.

[@andrewmillwardwatford9410]

Love the pipe work. Neat soldering and perfect bending. Great job.

[@MrPaul1f]

Glad you have started doing these again. I always learn something from them.

[@davidb2464]

That pipework is a work of art, I'm trying my best to copy your pipe bending vids, one day,,,,, one day,,, hopefully.

[@Onionking]

Ayup mate, just wanted to say the videos are great and inspiring. I’ve been out of the game for 10 years and looking to get back in. It’s great to see how things have changed, the new gear and the top tips. equally it’s good to see how things haven’t changed too much so I shouldn’t be so apprehensive. I can’t wait to get my benders fired up again!! Thanks again and please keep it up.

[@Gazdavies6]

First job a work of beauty boys. Thanks for the videos PB. Inspirational mate. Keep it up! 👍🏻

[@lukenfoci]

First one looks good, plus a plywood is a fantastic idea. Very clean, neat and nice. I would be very happy to be your customer ;)

[@justinwhite3153]

So crazy how I've heard so many popular oldies from America playing. Plumb on

[@quadrantheatingelectricspl2907]

We love you and missed you. Don’t mind watching your videos again & again. Please upload all your jobs and useful tips thanks

[@dazdavison1]

Wow changed a few manifolds but never new why they pinhole now i know cheers pb

[@ivanondov8826]

Always great video Pete, your job is absolutely ART 👏👏👏 You are one of the Best Plumber I ever see 🙌🙌🙌

[@colinbrazier8836]

Fantastic work not my trade but really appreciate the care and attention that has been put into that great job

[@Jim_Newlands]

Really interesting, and well explained video, Pete. Even though it is not my trade I find it fascinating watching how other trades go about their work. Keep up the good work, it's appreciated the extra hassle you go to filming, editing & uploading.

[@brianoneill350]

Great video. No problem seeing stuff again. Helps it sink in.

[@jeremyyanke7953]

impressive workmanship!!! 18 yrs in the trade and this looks fucking good.

[@robcoppin5699]

Absolutely nailed it 10/10 Fantastic video mate the break has obviously done you the world of good.....Keep up the great work

[@andygray4418]

I really enjoy your videos. Great quality content. The audio is not too low or high. I'm going to plumbing college in January to get an NVQ level 2 and hopefully make something of my life. I appreciate it must be difficult to work all week and then spend the amount of time after editing and uploading. I can only say thank you. I'm glad I stumbled onto your life of a jobbing plumber videos because I really look forward to them.

[@DavidSmith-bd1ct]

Great and informative video PB, really appreciate the time you take to make these videos. Many Thanks

[@realbartie]

Fab Pete! great video. As many of us said on your last one, no two jobs are the same and that first toilet proves that point - even you seemed surprised that it wasn't the donut! We really all do learn from these things, and they are not repeats :) Looking forward to the next one!

[@rhyswhatmanpersonal]

Studying plumbing next year at collage! Looking forward to it.

[@williambhoe]

Well, now it is a year ago. What do you think?

[@tigerbatman7881]

College for plumbing? That's not how it works in the us

[@johntheplumber4936]

Tiger Batman how does it work in the us out of interest? 😁

[@tigerbatman7881]

@@johntheplumber4936 so in the state I'm in you either work for your hours or you can go to a trade school with was one day a week until you can take your journey mans test

[@JohnDoe-us1ek]

@@williambhoe Probably ended up not doing it lol. Or is an apprentice getting slammed with work 😂

[@gordonbotplumbing]

Your pipe bending blows my mind everytime, so different from what we do in Canada.

[@dennisphoenix1]

When I fit cistern bolts I put silicon around the bolt from the underside , this squeezes out the excess when you fit the penny washer and hex nut .

[@andrewmillwardwatford9410]

The spirotech will not strip out micro bubbles on a pressurised system. IMI can provide you with a chart on the relationship between pressure and temperature for micro bubble removal. A new domestic vacuum de gaser will be on the market from IMI soon. The Spirovent is good for open vented systems.

[@ianbird6997]

Great video PB Did my leaking toilet and waste pipe. When move in House is 20 years old must have been the original doughnut and back plate. Had to cut the bolts backplate was 90% rust 😂😂😂😂 did the fill and siphon valves while I was there 😃😃😃 OMG that under floor system even from being a diyer that don’t look right hope you got to run away from that one 😂😂😂😂 Boiler install was a work of art 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ratchriat1716]

that's is a top installation for tha boiler loved the video.

[@yoelcohen56]

Blimey what a master. I work alot in properties in London and haven't seen such good work mate . Beautiful

[@jamesw7624]

Great pipe bending and great soldering would love to see how you do both of these

[@PaulGrosvenor1]

Great video. Loving the return of this type of video. Thanks.

[@Toddbaldwin00]

Apprentice watching from Australia, very interesting to see how different everything is! Keep it up mate!

[@gourdarchibald6588]

Blimey, nearly 47 minutes gone in a flash. Been watching for a while, admire your work - such pride in what you do, I mean who makes lagging look that good? We had a new Boiler a few years ago, our pipes look crap, there was virtually no lagging and what I did myself don't look like yours! Personally I'd like to see 45 minutes on flaring pipes, soldering and bending pipes, suspect that would be another video that would go pretty quick. Please keep up the content, I for one appreciate it.

[@jamesphilbrick8864]

Persistence beats resistance ! Shout out from South west Australia Plumber , Can definitely relate to working in the heat .Keep the vids coming 👍

[@tairiahmed7420]

I'm new follower first of all thanks lots for what you dowing and keep it up

[@The33JAYJAY]

Great vid Pete. As I said on twitter last week you should definitely have a tutorial on pipe bending. You've got it nailed but it's difficult for a lot of people, it takes me some time to get back in the swing of it as I don't have a lot of installs these days. Fault finding tips are excellent, keep it up mate 👍

[@barumman]

Beautiful neat job, congratulations. :)

[@BABYCHAOS26]

I usually give the threads a little spray with WD40 when fitting or repairing close coupled WCs, don’t know if it makes any difference in the long run but it may help to slow the rusting process a little.

[@acastillo529ac]

Hey bending is super impressive from a plumber in USA and shows your skills not easy to do y’all

[@bartman58]

Had about 10 comments as I watching the video but forgot ha...you are one of the best PB

[@jamesf893]

Love watching your videos. Always something new to learn

[@garethparker7898]

I've been a breakdown engineer for years and I'm moving into installs, thanks for the insperation you are awsome

[@TheMrC99]

Mee too. Started off on installs but then ended up being a breakdown engineer forb15 years. Sick of running around a load of job a day so going bak to installs. I'm nervous actually. Hope I can still do it. Like back boiler to combi etc. Anyway good luck

[@SuperWayneyb]

Keep the videos going PB they are great to watch no matter what experience the viewer has 👍🤓👍

[@rautemusic]

we also use the spyrotec mb3 on every system we build. we call it "magnabooster" here. works great and is nice to fit. i also love the amount of detail you put into fitting the insulation. we use "armaflex" but thats probably only suited for viega press fittings, or generally a "cold" installation without soldering

[@ParkesPlumbing]

Awesome Vid, i took inspiration from you to start my own series. Always looking to improve and love sharing the knowledge

[@Rickblues46]

I always ptfe tape the threads on the fixing bolts, where they pass through the rubber cone washers, it does stop any water tracking down the threads as often happens ... ps those fixing bolts must be stainless or brass.

[@thefunksoulplumber22]

Some handy tips there mate, thanks for sharing

[@GD-qu9hr]

Thats a cracking idea putting a blend valve on the boiler to get extra flow rate

[@craigwatson7692]

But tmvs are used to protect the vulnerable from scalding not to increase flow rates. There's a reason boiler manufacturers don't include them in their boilers to increase flow rates and that's down increasing legionella risk.

[@danielmortimer1700]

Keep up the good work nice to see you back on KZbin 👍

[@jonathandevries2828]

hey man, you're excellent; at this point, you can show off!

[@malachy1847]

Just wondering if that delayed opening and closing design on that Four way Inlet / Float valve on the Cistern would also be in there to help with Water Hamer that would effect those plastic parts which we see today in the manufacture of many modern plumbing fittings...

[@Charles61284]

Absolutely beautiful job on the ATAG shame to cover that cracking pipe work up with lagging ah well 🤣👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@ninzb9502]

Keep up the great work.... Can't wait for the underfloor heating video

[@Dangoymer]

Love the vids PB! 60 sec fault finding is awesome, the toilets jobs always lean something new, and the underfloor heating WOW! I've been in construction most of my working life but only recently been plumbing full time for a year or so. Your vids make a huge difference to alot of people. Your standard of work sets the bar and I hope we can all follow. Keep it up man!

[@davidmelton7574]

That level and watch are fantastic

[@jgregory935]

Well done pb keep them coming.

[@lemmykilmister450]

Your vids are the best by far. A great mix of jobs, tools and general content, which co!especially together as really entertaining package.

[@jamesreilly1456]

The videos are great keep up the good work PB 👍

[@nicpye248]

I'm one of those people which doesn't do Instagram, so all your content is first time.

[@johnwardle9667]

Your work is seriously good quality..nuff said!

[@a.crockettplumbingheating1375]

Great video once again PB, a video on pipe bending could be great for all the apprentices out there as I don’t think they get shown very well at college these days. 👍

[@BABYCHAOS26]

We scrapped those red fibre washers a few years back. We now use nitrile o rings. Far superior.

[@chovis38]

Always like watching people who know what they're doing. Shows a lot of knowledge and experience.

[@barry-bradford]

Atag filter 12 yrs warrenty, the boiler does its own air purge, i fit these boilers every week at least 3/4 good boiler once you know the menu settings

[@ek6868]

Tanx for the upload pb always appreciate your fault finding and tips great man👍👍👍

[@lungilencube7035]

..nice pipe work .i am a bit sceptic about the blending valve.Hot tap out temperatures will be affected .Kitchen taps we need at least 60degrees for hygienic purposes.

[@nevillethumbcatch5691]

never seen a TMV fitted under a combi, not a bad idea, thanks for that!

[@eddo167]

The TMV Should be fitted within 2M of the outlet as to avoid legionella

[@dennisphoenix1]

Pb don't worry about people saying you have bent the copper wrong , clearly they don't have a bender or any idea how to pull a bend in . Leave em to it

[@ZerokillerZerokiller]

Thank you for wonderfull explain and showing how to do it am a aplumber by the way and ur work is awsom

[@khansk36]

Ur a good fella keep it up all the best and many thanks for your beneficial vids

[@mrbaza8793]

Amazing pipe work m8 🔧😁 once you have time please do a demonstration on them crazy bending skills ... keep up the hard work it's much appreciated 😎👍🏾👨🏾‍🔧🔧💯

[@jackbrindley5682]

Wicked really enjoyed watching that, although the the toilet with the leaking clamping screw I probably would of quoted for a new filling valve and flushing unit for good measure as it was off. Leant a lot more about boilers internally and look forward to more of these, 👌

[@simonmander4314]

Great stuff thanks PB really enjoyed this.

[@scottwilliams1094]

That was a great video PB. The change off drain great idea we have all got into trouble with a stuck drain off on a Cylinder. 👍

[@RANDEEP685]

Keep them coming pb, even tho they repeats I’ll still watch em. Good luck mate 👍🏼

[@HarryParker98]

Would love a video on the bending like that! Its unreal!!! Love the vid PB!

[@stevebrindley]

Lovely bit of pipework that PB

[@petercanham3750]

Brilliant Video PB, looking forward to the video on pipe bending. I always learn something new from these videos, much appreciated 👏👏

[@7dayplumbing]

Brilliant video again , thanks 👍

[@mastermetalshredder]

Beautiful work!!

[@Gary-n]

Keep up the momentum, PB. Love your videos.

[@bethgmc]

Sticking a TMV there is a massive legionella risk and a really, really bad idea. All the pipe work after the mixer is now 50C and as combi’s have no recirculation that temperature will keep falling and just be a breeding ground since legionella develops between 30-50C. Mixer valves should be installed as close to the appliance as possible (3 metres worst case).

[@kyleruffell7442]

TheBaconMafia no he’s a reg of his own this man didn’t you know that.....he’s like British Gas...they don’t need to renew qualifications as there on going training is enough haha

[@Ryanwolson12]

Love seeing these videos, they might be similar jobs but usually have different stuff involved

[@sudhiradhikari19]

Hi PB, I'm watching again your previous videos, can you please kindly explain why you have to put extra blue expension vessel.

[@mynameis9739]

Your bending skills always amaze me PB

[@temporarynoble]

Nice video, TMV should be close to outlets to minimise legionella risk, since the bacteria thrive in warm water (as opposed to hot which kills it, or cold which doesn’t lead to significant growth). Might not be a huge risk on a domestic system, but seems like an unnecessary step unless there’s an issue not mentioned. Could just fit to the bathroom supply if bath temperature is a concern with kids or elderly.

[@kingjohnothegreat]

Another awesome video cheers pb

[@sandman9301]

Beautiful pipework

[@funnysht5093]

2 great plumbers 👍

[@heffo1992]

It would be great if you could do a oil boiler install so we can see the difference compared to a gas boiler. Great videos as usual 👍👍

[@Sam.147]

Great video PB. The heat cell on the WB boiler you were working on at the end of the video has rippled and will need changing. Keep the videos coming mate 👍

[@L.C.Sweeney]

I can't get my head around some people. Not only did they leave that toilet leaking for what looks like a couple of years, causing hundreds of pounds worth of damage, but they didn't bother figuring out that they could literally just isolate it, flush it and chuck a towel underneath.

[@balwindersinghsam2745]

Beautiful job mate 👍
