P B Plumber The life of a jobbing plumber #45

[@1988dannys]

As a newly qualified gas engineer I really like the fault diagnosing procedure video. Anymore would be great 👍

[@PBPlumber]

I’m gonna get set up in front of a boiler and do the sequence of operation and show how to diagnose the fault on each part

[@1988dannys]

@@PBPlumber nice one mate

[@IbrahimAliSapnin]

@@PBPlumber You ever thought of making a similar course to the heat geek ones for understanding/ diagnosing boilers? I’d pay for that, so would many others. 👍

[@MrLukec24]

I’m newly qualified too found this really helpful thanks for putting it together.

[@technoconfort6644]

@@PBPlumber Hello, I hope you are well, I am a plumber from Algeria, I have ten years of experience, but when I saw your work, I came to see my work as unprofessional and not worthy of plumbing, is it possible for me to train with you for a few days? I hope for a response from you. All the best

Love the diagrams , as an apprentice this is really helpful to understand fault finding and break down a system into a more understandable format , keep up with the great videos

[@PBPlumber]

Glad you find them useful matey cheers

[@asanka9726]

Great video about fault finding, I hope you would do a another one please. your explanations are very simple, very easy to understand. I'm very grateful to you.

[@redginrai664]

I like the way you showed us about the basic sequence of the boiler on the diagram you drawed out. Yes that would be great if you could show us in more detail the sequencer of the boiler with the sensors and ntcs. Your teaching skills are really good. I am definitely learning. Thanks PB.

[@PBPlumber]

I’m just looking for a job where I have a decent boiler to show the process on and nobody is home so I can film it

[@cputilitysolutions]

Love the sequence flow diagram, I was taught the same way and still use it everyday when I'm working on breakdowns. Can't beat the basics 👌🏽

[@normanstark7278]

Yes please Pete more of this stuff, I just starting to get my head around it this really helps, thanks

[@PBPlumber]

Glad it’s helping mate

[@davidusher-millin1451]

The diagrams are a massive help, this one and the flow rate one a few weeks ago have helped me day to day 👍👍👍

Just finished the heat geek course and can strongly recommend it. Difficult but well worth while. And a bonus I can say I featured in one of your videos as that was my name in the additional info section of module 1 😂

[@misterio01986]

I’ll start my training in may but I’m watching your videos and really like them. The scheme you did now was awesome for me and would like to see more of that. Cheers

Can’t wait for the next Sequence of operation video

[@rayc1503]

Great tutorial PB, yes a more in depth video about sequence of operation please 👍.

[@iTCXtreme]

Absolutely awesome 👌 👏 👍. A detailed video would great!!! As always a excellent vids.

[@conand1413]

Great video esp the diagram for fault finding. Would be really nice for a more detailed parts as you said . For the training, believe it or not yesterday i was watching ur pipe bending video as i said wt if you, heatGeek, andrew milward, heatinggeeks, and dr pipe all open a training centre. I strongly believe that it would take the gas engineers and the industry to a whole new better level. If that happen i will be first one in even if that meant travelling 200 miles . Thanks again for sharing with us

[@1mannik]

Great fault finding tutorial Pete. Cheers 👍

[@dorof3716]

I work as a plumber in hungary, i love how the brands are different but it all works the same. I wish there were channels like this when i learned it 😀

[@dorof3716]

But here the the ignition comes before the gas valve opening and stops the ignition after it detects flame. Im kinda baffled that its the reverse there.

[@lukebrowning7501]

Great way to learn especially as i am an a apprentice👍. Thank you and can’t wait for the next video. I would like to see how you get your soldering so perfect hopefully one day you will show it on one of your videos soon.🤞

[@fredjennings9268]

Thanks for all your hard work, putting the vids together.... inspiring.👏👏👍

[@lazenbytim]

Rule number one turn everything off before you cut floor boards. I once lifted some floor boards in a pub and disturbed a 22mm gas pipe that had never been soldered. Huge lesson.

[@Jonathantheplumber]

Great vlog mate .. plumber from Zimbabwe Africa 🖒

[@DClough]

I love that you did this you should definitely do more like this I’m in my first year in the field and need to learn these sequences of operation!!!

[@ImHowardMoonsir1]

I remember cutting into live socket cabling taking some floorboards up. Since then I always set the depth of the saw no greater than the boards I'm cutting.

[@PBPlumber]

I did a gas pipe a few years ago, only knicked it but had to replace it

[@scotspie501douglas7]

knowledge is power so its great your sharing and love your videos

[@andyjennings2061]

Nice video PB. When bending electrodes try and do them while cherry red as bend really easy. 👍🏻👍🏻

yeah I had to do it with one hand so by the time I put my torch down and picked up the grips it had lost the lovely red glow

Top class content as usual pb, been in the game almost 30 years over in Ireland but have just got gas registered and find the fault finding bits top notch

[@Elise514]

Hej PB, great video. Regarding the fault finding graph, it should be ignition first and gas valve afterwards. Due to safety reasons. Keep it up! Greetz from Belgium

[@paulgannon3261]

Great videos again my only comment would be your title. You are a trained Gas Safe registered engineer. The term Plumber unfortunately can be used by anyone as is obvious by some of the disasters we see and have to deal with . I personally flinch when people say the Plumber is here to fix the boiler. I am a plumber yes but more than that we are highly skilled technicians with the ability to diagnose problems that may be water, gas or electrically related. We deserve more credit and to just label us as plumbers is a little downgrading due to the numerous rough cowboy plumbers there are out there. You are a top engineer and don't forget it

[@samlowe6814]

My favourite video to date Pete!

[@terenceoconnor1584]

Brilliant video again very very informative! Thank you

[@ryanandrews397]

Great video. Its fast becoming my Sunday ritual. Going to check out Heat Geek, I registered a couple of weeks ago but not took it any further. If your not earning your learning 👍

[@joshykong810]

Great video and Thanks for showing how to change the blade in the m12 cutter need to change mine and had no idea how to do it 🤣

[@abooli2]

I thought the flame rectification happens before gas valve opens to avoid building up of gas in the combustion chamber.

[@PBPlumber]

The three on the bottom, gas valve and ignition happen at pretty much the same time, rectification happens when the flame sensor detects a flame

[@2010wembley]

That ‘play doh’ is a heat resistant compound that used to be used in MICC (pyro) glands.

Thank you and I look forward towards the next video and this course you mention. THE GAS WIZARDZ & Plumbers

[@martynlewis5901]

In my experience far too many “engineers” will rush in and change the PCB whatever the fault is. I attended a call out while working as an engineer for a boiler manufacturer, the customers own self employed plumber was on site as he wanted to meet me at the job. Straight away he says “it’s the PCB mate have you got one on the van?” After spending 10mins checking the boiler I changed the DHW heat exchanger and the boiler was up and running.

[@samlarsen5459]

You’re a Very good engineer and I enjoy your videos greatly, just one question I have, do you not worry that handymen, DIYers and other non gsr people may use the information from your videos to carry out diagnosis or repairs themselves ? Keep up the good work. Sam

[@samlarsen5459]

The amount of customers I’ve had say to me yea you can find anything on KZbin I’ll be able to fit a filter on myself after telling them all about it and working out faults. I feel like this information and experience has a value which I’ve worked for and a lot of it is now readily available to the public and they feel that there is no value to it as all they’ve had to do is watch a video ? I just want to know what your thoughts are on it and maybe for me to take a different outlook on it ?

[@samlarsen5459]

I once went to a call out the guy flooded his boiler because he saw a pipe on his balcony over a drain dripping (condense) and so he capped it. I took the makeshift cap off the pipe did my 29.1 checks and said that was the problem. He was adamant that I was wrong so I charged him £200 purely because 1 teach him not to fuck with things he doesn’t know about and 2 don’t call me out and then question me lol especially when you now have heating and hot water

[@ScottyDog345]
