P B Plumber The life of a jobbing plumber #38

[@mattkaramccarthy677]

As a Viessmann sales manager on the west coast of Canada I do have to say that is one of the best descriptions of how a Vitodens 222 functions. I am just about to fit one in my own home. Keep up the videos! I wish to see more of the old school methods you use, especially soldering. It is a dying art and your joints are near perfect! No over fill, no heat streaks and properly cleaned after filling. As far as pipe work goes it is top notch!

[@girdlez3022]

First day on my gas engineering apprenticeship tomorrow at the grand age of 27, love your vids man

[@PBPlumber]

Good luck my dude 🤜🏽🤛🏽 Let us know how you got on

[@LynGriffiths70]

Enjoyed that.. Just a small tip for everyone, If you get an evening call out, when taking the address, ask what car is on the drive, easier than trying to see house numbers.

[@PBPlumber]

Great shout 💥

[@alemgas]

Bigger car bigger bill

[@martinranson4262]

Do this all the time, sometimes you don't realise the things you do are worth sharing,

[@RuriM9]

The Saniflow story now thats a good one

[@PBPlumber]

Yeah really was, made me laugh

[@adrianflood5499]

Absolutely Brilliant as usual. Fault finding with elimination, tips and tricks, the video has it all

[@PBPlumber]

Ah thanks Adrian 🙏🏽

[@willcpfc4720]

I don’t have social media so good to see you back posting on KZbin , great content.

[@PBPlumber]

Thanks Will 🙏🏽

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Great to have you back mate.... Watching your videos made me decide to start doing my channel at the tail end of last year...👍🏼👍🏼 Keep it up buddy...

[@stevelambert6689]

That Combi installation with the black solvent weld and clips looks rather cool, nice one

[@dmc_heat_serv5487]

Looking for house numbers in the daylight is bad enough! Sometime in the last few years it must have become unfashionable to put a number on your house. My favourite is when you drive past about 10 houses with no number on them and have to drive along counting in your head 😡 😡 rant over 😅 great video as usual. 👌🏻

[@PBPlumber]

I know exactly what you mean mate

[@thomaswylde5712]

Love this mate, been doing plumbing for 2 and half years and just turn gas safe, learning loads from what your doing

[@PBPlumber]

Thanks Thomas 🙏🏽

[@stevensafhill-jones4919]

Another top video pete. Like the 'i f@#ked up' shows that were all human and it happens. Keep up the good work 👏

[@PBPlumber]

Thanks Steven glad you liked it 🙏🏽

[@ifanpyrs1287]

Im a 30 year old started a plumbing course last year .Love the videos. keep them coming. Brilliant

[@PBPlumber]

Thanks mate glad they help

[@rossifordcup]

Great vid PB 👍😁 there's always something in there that's a great tip, even in the "fucked up" sections ! Apart from showing that not all jobs go to plan, there's lessons there too.. like how your mate cracked the inner heating coil upstairs on the immersion when emptying down 🤔. And, the leaky loose tap find 😁 Keep doing what you're doing .. one vid a week is fine and add in any tool advise you think help with your work. I cant believe how many times I've used my olive splitter since i got it, thanks to you 🤣

[@mick.5382]

Loving the Miami vice intro.😂😂👍

[@PBPlumber]

😎

[@harhar4607]

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! If there were "Oscar Awards" for Plumbers, I would probably be saying, PB congratulations !! Clear,concise & truly educational. You will inspire a lot of young people to consider the trade when considering their future. Just the thoughts of an "Oldie!" Kind regards

[@realbartie]

Really enjoying having you back and these videos. The Live Fault Finding is a great segment! Hope to see more of them. Thanks PB

[@lewisbromilow9046]

Big fan of the vids glad to see your guna be doing then regularly, been qualified just over a year and always learn something from watching your stuff.

[@PBPlumber]

Thanks Lewis that’s great to hear mate

[@sandorlukacs1892]

Works like the immersion I always use a bit of blue roll to check....shows any small leak straight away...great vid again PB✌️

[@PBPlumber]

Great tip 👌🏽

Nice to see you back PB, love your video’s 👍

[@juniorsharpe1030]

Bloody great video buddy👍 any plumbers in or around bristol looking for a bit of help from a new plumber? 👍👍

[@terenceoconnor1584]

Excellent video ! Love the systematic fault finding part. You did well finding that tap. Cheers

[@jamestozer9419]

Absolutely Love the intro mate. Great Video. Look forward to next week

[@PBPlumber]

Nice one James thank you 🙏🏽

[@neilbirkett835]

Pure artwork that piping 😬

[@koolworths]

Love the way you asked her how long were you out for! Was expecting you to say "Just one more thing" 😉👍

[@BlGB0SS]

Excellent video, when you share the struggles of the job it makes it so relatable 👍

[@stuartgammie1862]

Great to have you back on a regular basis, as a newbie here is there any chance of a slower explanation of the 60sec fault finding, like the one in the control centre for the broken zone valve we can't see where the black probe is/or goes. Loving the new intro, 80s were class to grow up in, chopper bikes.... you forgot about chopper bikes. As always cheers PB it must take some time to edit this stuff and we appreciate it m8

[@liamarrowsmith3354]

I’m a site plumber, Aged 22, been doing plumbing since I was 16, finally going self employed after finishing my gas course last year. I found your channel last week and been watch a new video every night, I find it interesting as I only install combi and system boilers mainly on site. Would love to attempt to install a floor standing boiler or any other kind of fuel boiler instead of gas. I’ve picked up a few tricks off you and learning about fault finding on boiler of your video. Thank you

[@chrisb4009]

Always a pleasure to see your vids PB, learn something new with every video.

[@wilba8604]

Nice to see a bit of pride in ya work , all these young lads (or most I come across the plastic smashers ) haven’t a f clue about about pride and tidiness !! I was taught plumbing/heating in early 2000’s by a dinosaur bless him and alot of what you do reminds me of him . Love the videos. 👍

[@Honest_Reviewer.]

The 80s were the best! Great intro--thank you again for returning to KZbin.

[@HarrisWaterandSewer]

Great informative video, showing all the in's and out's

[@samdark417]

I love your copper pipe bending, and the " i f up" part anyway, talented plumber!

[@jaffplumbs26]

Your pipe work is incredible mate, very impressive 👍

[@paulmorris3613]

When i saw the upstairs leak it reminded me of my own house. The water came out in the kitchen thought the ceiling. There was no leak in the bathroom above. However. I felt damp in the cold pipe under the bath, It seems when you turned the bath tap off it failed to shut done fully, the water dribbled out the tap hole and ran back to the base of the tap and via the pipe built upon the floor up and eventually found its way out into kitchen via the ceiling. Replaced the tap and end of the problem.As it turned out a ring around the tap exit had gone missing, That ring was meant to stop the water running back down to the tap base!

[@simonmander4314]

PB Sunday afternoons are back 👍🏻 Great stuff 🙂

Thanks Simon 🙏🏽

Thanks mate 🤜🏽🤛🏽

[@MasterLasBlaster]

Keep em coming Pete! Great to see you back at it with top quality vids. Love the new formula to with the IFU and top tips! 👍

[@syncrosimon]

A good way to tell if there is overflow in a copper pipe is to feel it’s temp, if it’s overflow from tank will feel colder than empty pipe because cooled by cold water flowing through it👍 Great video, thanks for posting.😎😎

[@dubhead11]

Your new video format and the I fucked up bit is quality! Keep up the good work.

[@CallumGraham93]

Learn something everytime i watch you cheers pal

[@PBPlumber]

Thanks Karl that’s great to hear

[@miljenbathrooms]

Guess who's back, guess who's back 🙌 Nice video 😎

[@recklessJet]

Taught me a great tip on changing immersions in the future. Haven’t done one so far. Thanks PB.

[@gravesy855]

What a mega intro! Great to see you back more regularly 👍👍 Another great video. Thanks for putting the extra effort on top of your day job to produce videos for us.

The black clips and black waste pipe make hell of a difference. Looks propper neat

[@PBPlumber]

Yeah I’m quite fond of the black clips and pipe when using an Adey filter

[@graemehardie9914]

I always give the immersion spanner a crack with the hammer before I drain the cylinder, it prevents the cylinder deforming. Good vid Pete

[@PBPlumber]

Do you do many immersions these days, few and far between for me now

[@graemehardie9914]

Like you don’t do many now, but have had a run lately, done 4 this year

[@rossifordcup]

Thats a great tip.. keeping cylinder full to loosen it slightly 1st ... thanks lads.. 👍

[@MrElliott1979]

That intro definitely the computer game outrun and the Coca-Cola yoyo brings back some memories, remember the gold ones 😁

[@peterdawson5115]

Great vid PB really enjoy watching the variety of jobs you get, keep up the hard work and look forward to next week. 👍

[@chrisclarke557]

Great videos pb, good of you to take the time. Down South i have to change immersion heaters all the time, unfortunately it always involves wet vaccing a metric ton of scale from the cylinder - it sucks.

[@Paul-eq1qe]

Great videos, very informative for me they help a lot for my apprenticeship 👍.

[@AP-Automotive]

I’m not a apprentice plumber anymore because I lost my job but still love plumbing and enjoy watching your videos but have now moved on to carpentry. I see you use metabo do how do you like it I have got metabo and love it. Keep up the good content 👍

[@artisanelectrics]

Love the intro! 👏

[@con6951]

That intro is 10/10 👍

[@davidb2464]

Just a quick one, with this night time leak, I had something similar, water pissing out of roof space above the bathroom, took a look up in the loft, the F&E tank support had broken, it fell into the main tank, as it was continually emptying, it was continually be re-filled, causing an over flow, just propped it up. This was the quickest way as the stop cock was impossible to get to.

[@dangough55]

Another good video mate I always learn something from them everytime 👌

[@PBPlumber]

Nice one dan thank you 🙏🏽

[@tommyblackman7119]

Great video Pete. Excellent content.. love the 80’s into reminds me a gran theft auto Vice City Cant wait for next weeks vid

[@adotldot3199]

It's crazy how skilled plumbers/heating engineers can be and how much we can learn from each other if you aint a stubborn bastard of course 🍻👌

[@nevillethumbcatch5691]

The black overflow pipe on the condense looks smart

[@ARElectrics]

Roller discos those were the days ! 🤣 To see your mate you had to walk / cycle there to find they weren't in. Pick and mix from woolworths and a panda pop. Another great video. Loving the copper and black fittings on that one job that's awesome. Where do you take your measurement on the bender? I can't get my head around it when I'm bending galv conduit. I leave the length and cut after.

[@SqwarkParrotSpittingFeathers]

Good vid, good explanation. Thanks for you post and hard work.

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@guonbabi672]

Bending them pipes back round the skirting looks neat but just space the clips out up to the boiler. Quicker n easier to lag 👍

Hi excellent video. Thank you. Just wondering why there is a need for an air separator on a sealed pressurised system. ? Thanks

No house numbers? I was once asked if there were any special instructions for a delivery driver, I replied "tell the driver when he gets on to the A** keep going until he has crossed two cattle grids, then I'm the first property on the left after the field of sheep". When the driver arrived he told me he thought the girl in the office was taking the piss, but he actually found me first try! I owned the sheep, so I knew where they would be! 😊

[@martynlewis4344]

Glowworm boiler by any chance that wouldn't come back on? If so, dead PCB can be revived by changing a couple of capacitor's on the PCB. Happened to me on a landlords inspection, being faced with £200 bill for new PCB or £2 bill and 10 mins with a soldering iron the second option saved the day!

[@truefalse207]

Btw, a trick to get the old immerser out is use your leg strength instead of hammer, place immersion spanner on , and use your leg to push so far 100% success rate

[@PBPlumber]

What about for the guys who’ve been skipping leg day? 👀

[@michaelorourke3997]

Terrific videos as always. Only three days ago I changed two immersions on a similar cylinder, but I had drained the cylinder before I whacked the immersion spanner with a lump hammer to loosen the immersions. I've done this loads of times. Was I just lucky?

[@1Monaghan]

That last job with the leak through ceiling. If you were called back and it wasn't that tap that was causing it after all would you charge them again for a second investigation? What if you had to lift floors etc the second time.

[@soyebmankda8387]

Masterclass as usual I'm not too keen on the laco ptfe paste used on rad valves leaked after 3 years

[@PBPlumber]

That’s good to know mate
