So many customers say about the hot water issue on baths........... just trying to explain it is the hard bit...lol

Yep, just prove it to them by slowing the tap down. They’d probably still not believe you tho, I mean why would they trust what you say you’re only the expert hah

I can feel it in my plumsssssss. I found a lump bout 8 year ago. Went to the docs, happened to be a young female doctor who gave them a check, I swear she wanted to say “they feel normal, just a little small” Also I have been through one ceiling... my own 😬😂

[@getbry7452]

Thanks for the video, mate! I've never fallen though a loft or floor, but I was working in a customers house last year and had to go into the loft. The customer was really edgy with me up there and constantly asked if I was was OK. It was then he told me his electrician friend died of a heart attack and died in his loft a couple of years ago! The paramedics couldn't get him out so they had to remove the roof tiles etc and had to crane him out! I kid you not.

[@memezilla4370]

😱😱😱

[@sup3rblade84]

Remember changing a float valve on a tank in the loft... The leak saturated the joists been dripping for a while ended up in the bedroom.. Even got offered a tip 😂🤣

[@gourdarchibald6588]

For me it wasn't the eye contact while juggling, it was cutting to a phallic tool with a bell end. Well, I nearly pee'd my pants and no it's nothing to do with my prostate, which is something else us blokes have to be aware of. If you are at the GP and you hear the snap of a rubber glove and the command "bend over" - do it, it could save your life. It saved my Father!

[@cliveramsbotty6077]

Back in my early twenties I found I had a big old lump in my ball bag that kept flaring up. Scared the crap out of me. I finally got myself together and went to get it looked at in the hospital. I lied down on the bed and had a doctor and a student doctor stretching out my ball bag whilst shining one of those medical angle-poise lamps through it from the back to see what was inside. They weren't quite sure what to make of my one big bollock so they sent me to have an ultrasound scan, on me nutsack. The guy doing the scan stuck the gel in a special machine to warm it up first before applying it to my two veg because if they put it on cold your sack just shrivels up and they can't get the ultrasound scanner on it properly. I got to see what my family jewels sounded/looked like in black and white on the screen, pretty weird. As it turned out I didn't have cancer, I got something called a 'varicocele' which is basically some varicose veins in the clump of strings going to one of my balls, whenever I have a particularly energetic sex session my bollocks swing about a bit too much and all the blood gets trapped in the dodgy veins and it swells up in a big tender lump. I hope this story will encourage any guys worried about something they've found to get medical help, it's not at all daunting once you're there. Cheers.

[@Jody669]

I’ve had it a few times on Worcester’s where the flow restrictor in the flow adapter has shat itself allowing too much flow through the plate. Customer complains the bath is cool compared to the other taps and it hasn’t always been like that.

[@importsbc]

Might be with adding when I do a step over I do it the same as Pete but I mark the pipe to ensure its equal so do your internal bend then when you do the second bent I mark on the pipe when the hook sits then mark the other side of the first bend gets I Bob on everytime

[@looseratwork]

hey man, i've been using the MRU detector for about two years now, its very good and sensetive - and quick too. and yes, it will show farts - yours aswell, trust me ;) check out their flue gas analizers aswell - i love mine. can even do leak checks on gaspipes and stuff. keep on doing what you do! cheers from germany

Unvented cylinder whenever possible to give max flow rates to fill the bath quickly .

[@PBPlumber]

This refers to combination boilers only mate

[@dennisphoenix1]

@@PBPlumber yes I understood the calculations for combis, I meant unvented cylinders will give a better flow rate at the taps to fill a bath ( assuming you have good pressure and flow rate) . A combi could never compete with an unvented.

Hello PB, I was recently looking at the C&G diploma level 2 in pluming but I just realised that I am unable to be called real Plummer until I get NVQ level 2 done and you can only get that done if you are at work already working as plumber but... the problem is I looked at possible way to get in to work like being plumbers mate but there are only 6 jobs available and some of them are old so I am now stuck where I think once I would get that C&G diploma level 2 I wouldnt be able to get any work since none needs unskilled fresh plumbers any ideas what to do ? or it is just impossible ?

Carl frochs a plumber?

[@dickiedubs3137]

4ppm isn't worth looking at....400ppm and above please. Does this detector also work in LEL. You see that's the key because 50PPM won't even show on a tightness test which is the gold standard that tells you what your dealing with. Gas valves in particular those that are regularly used leak small amounts of gas but it's so small it's not really a concern. If you spray it with LDF and it bubbles or spawns then you have a leak that needs action.
