P B Plumber The life of a jobbing plumber #49

[@jackhoskins722]

Some of the best plumbing you’ll ever see 👌🏼

[@BABYCHAOS26]

Ballcocks, fanny traps and flanges, you don’t get names like that with lesser trades. 😆

[@waynedunne4838]

Lovely job, pipes are clean, solders are very neat, the bends are on point as always 😀👌 10/10

[@accuwarm7827]

Great work gents 🙌🏼 love the Crossover bends in the floor, also putting the ntc on the cold is a great idea 👍🏻

[@scottsog7635]

Great install Pete, Marcus, you do some of the cleanest l work l have seen, inspiration to the trade👌🏻😁

[@metrotechguru5863]

Another beautiful install. Pete, your pipe bending skills are just remarkable. You've really got the knack.

[@botzdaur]

Great work, as always!👍

[@shifty277]

Top top work displayed here and choice of parts underneath the boiler. Nice touch for the scale reducer on the return too. The multiple angle pipe bending is a work of art. I feel it should be on a spec when people are requesting big central heating and boiler install jobs - it allows you to leave a gap between yourself and the lesser skilled plumbers. Thumbs up.

[@shandd9640]

Some beautiful bends with that pipe.

[@PBPlumber]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@johndevlin980]

Mate.. your blowing my mind with these bends!

[@Honest_Reviewer.]

Absolutely master copper pipe bender. Thanks for all of the videos!

[@mrblobby754]

Love watching your videos PB, thanks for great content and always look forward to new uploads. Nice to see a true professional at work and that you never compromise on your standards.

[@cristyanchivu]

Wow, your pipework is like an art! Looks very neat and cool. Great job, as always!

[@mikeballinger1287]

The bends were a joy to watch really enjoy watching what you do and how you explain stuff 😎🇬🇧

[@martinsalmons5407]

I had one of the flexi hoses on my bottle. It burst while I was sweating up a joint and sprayed everywhere. Absolutely lethal. Can’t believe they still sell them. Mine was 2 months old!

[@harrywillis3929]

Same happened to me. The hose should be armoured or something. Did you fix yours with tape???

[@christopherthompson2167]

You are a master of the art of pipe bending, absolutely amazing, the dog didn't look impressed though 🙄

[@trevorjarvis3021]

Superb tidy job, expertly explained.

[@BABYCHAOS26]

I work for a housing association and the app you have is very similar to what we’ve been using for years.

[@BlGB0SS]

Excellent workmanship as usual, keep up the great content Pete and 👍

[@Jammydodgers41]

Great stuff as always pb. Learn so much watching your vids

Bang tidy job. Thanks for another great video

[@aidykeenan5824]

Brilliant as always 👌

[@PBPlumber]

Thankyou mate

[@cputilitysolutions]

Your bending skills are 2nd to none Pete 🔥

[@darrenfurnell90]

Quality job mate! 👊🏽

[@milesbethell8889]

Great video Pete, keep them coming 👍

[@ridetwo]

great video as always pete. i would support you on the whole swaging discussion. i am a hvac engineer and we swage our copper pipework for refrigerent lines. we pressure test our pipework to 42 bar and never had a swage fail. yes we use thicker wall copper and braze rather than solder but swaging looks a lot neater in my opinion. great work as usual

[@sdgelectronics]

Harris (Lincoln Electric) specifically recommend not to swage copper lines for HVAC lines. They have a really informative white paper on a series of tests.

[@paultabor2446]

Very nice install good to see plenty of pipe bending rather than using fittings

[@adegriff1843]

Another great video. Really nice neat job 👌👌

[@PBPlumber]

Thanks Ade mate 🤜🏽🤛🏽

[@Plumbingbob]

Really nice looking finish on that.

[@aminsajawal3935]

As always perfect bending. Keep it up brother 👍🏻

[@paul_my_plumbs_uk]

Unbelievable Pete to think life of a jobbing plumber started 3 years ago 🍺🍺🍺😃

[@peterdawson5115]

Really tidy job as usual.👍

[@sdgelectronics]

Swaging definitely creates a failure point that doesn't exist on couplers. Harris (Part of Lincoln Electric) do a great paper on this showing a whole series of testing where the pipe will reliably fail at the radius between the normal tube and the expanded tube.

[@elliottpalmer1342]

Loved the swage pipe tool. Got to get one. Good vid.

[@terenceoconnor1584]

Amazing pipe work thank you for sharing

[@peterryan7827]

Nice job I hope you have rectified the leaking blow lamp hose, that's a pain and a concern, thanks again for the video.

Lost all my strength carrying you... quality!!!

[@julianhawker7672]

Vulcan auto-stat, thats got to be well over 50 yrs old! I would be older than Marcus probably and the Vulcan was a old unit when I was a apprentice straight from school.............. Changed the last one I looked after about 15 yrs ago now. I would bet good money that the Vaillant won't last as long! ;-)

[@joshbrighton4810]

keep up the good work mate

[@penskib1975]

That's really funny, my parents had a vulcan boiler just like that when I was a child, I replaced the gas valve on it once and the rope seal I think, and the pump, gave it a clean. And a thermocouple at some point. Don't know why they let me do this I was only a young teenager at the time. Lol. But it always run well afterwards.

[@PlumbLikeTom]

keep up the great content mate

[@darrenclarke161]

Loving the vids PB . 😁👍

[@marianpamparau]

Good job man

[@deanchapple1]

How are you getting on with the heat geek course?

[@mick.5382]

Your a master of pipe bending Pete.👍

[@seanrussell2142]

Great video awesome bending 👍👍👍 just don't forget hot and cold will be the wrong way round when they do the shower ( cold will be on the left in the bathroom ) yep been there done that 😂

[@Diddlydj]

Just a few questions, aren’t you supposed to clip the flue at every change of angle so should have had one between the 2 45’s? Also the discharge running into the condense. Always told that you can’t have a discharge going into condense especially glued fittings because the heat will warp the pipe and can shatter the glued fittings? We always use hep2o traps with tundishes and 32mm push fit high temperature pipe instead.

[@rayc1503]

Great work guys, I'd like to see more on the vertical flues. Did you manage making good the flue without roof ladders? 😬👍

[@paul_my_plumbs_uk]

The customers been watching too many KZbin videos stripping out the boiler 😭😭😭 and decommissioning rads big 👍👍👍👍pete and marcus jobs a goodun lads

[@paul5828]

Why do people persist in putting rads under windows? , I have allways tried where poss to put them on walls conected to other rooms (under windows last resort), that way you don't waste heat going to outside and keeps the heat internal, which intern keeps the house warmer meaning you need less heat

[@PBPlumber]

I don’t think customers care too much about heat loss, more about how the room looks, and they wont have furniture under the window so that’s why they want the radiator there. I don’t have any radiators under the window in my own home tho

[@dmarriott9701]

Remember those boilers, Vulcan continental, great boilers. No problems with pcbs and all that malarky. Bring back the good old days. As you can probably work out I’m a retired old plumber. Good videos though. Talk about busmans holiday.

[@craigwatson7692]

Spot on job guys, awesome bending work as usual. Should that flue have had an extra clip by the 45° bends though 🤔

[@davidjeffreys9063]

The part where you were trying that new thing on your phone and had the option to let the tenant know if you're running late etc, well i tend to use a different method. My method is i bleedin get there when i bleedin get there and hope for the flamin best. Haha

[@PBPlumber]

😂😂😂

[@stevehull703]

🤙 nice job chaps.

[@kevinisaac9139]

I bought one after seeing yours and my hose leaked same as yours must be faulty rubber

[@colinhatch6693]

Great job, would you not also fit a single check valve to cold mains before shock arrestor for fluid category 2 protection?

[@HassanAli-ky2ko]

Love the videos

[@maz9099]

Can u do a video on fault finding on components using a multi meter finding it difficult to understand love the videos thank u for doing them

[@dannysmith373]

I’ve found this channel after deciding to go into gas engineering, have no previous experience in plumbing either but I am enjoying the course so far 3 weeks in, once qualified I’m hoping to get my experience with a domestic gas company and I’m finding your videos very helpful and interesting just to see what gear you’re using and fittings etc. I’ve got a long road ahead of me and I’m sure there will be ups and downs! Just one question what’s the little mask about in your van?

[@robcoleman9198]

Seems like maybe a stupid question I get the filter and shock arrestor, but it looks like you fit a second filter on the flow as well is that just to make the system last longer and cleaner? Top work quality BTW these videos are amazing to watch

[@djtreeman1]

Really enjoyed this as always mega informative 🤙🤙

[@normanboyes4983]

Nice install. Have to ask why did he want to change that fine monument to engineering?

[@omerward9261]

Hi love the video Have you ever used the Spin Swaging drill bits

[@cameronhoare1559]

Class job

[@kylejames5121]

Nice video mate, we’re did u get them swaging tools? I was also told we can’t use them anymore. On the hot tun is it 15mm in top and then 21.5 plastic coming out as thought d2 pipe had to be copper or push fit waste to take the high temp? Thanks

[@FandanGo66]

Yes 👍 copper , copper no plastic (italian colleghe👋)

[@27forme2]

Hi Pete, since your a 3rd generation plumber I am curious would when did they start bending the pipes with the machines?

[@plumbertime]

Have you ever took a bath panel off and found 5 effing pipes ran straight across the bath panel !

[@dennisphoenix1]

Yes I have . Trebled the price of the job . Right b*ll ache re routing them all . Took the panel off and it was a wall of pipes . 🙄

[@aerowilly65]

Do you use Munsen rings for aesthetics only or is it to give greater stand off distance from the wall for soldering/attaching filters etc?

[@chris.heffernan]

My brother, you are an excellent pipe fitter. Did someone teach you that or was that a self teaching thing?

[@ivangoodall1]

What swaging tool do you recommend? Great video, brill pipe bending skills too.

[@ethankeeling2693]

As Vaillants don't have a gas test point o the gas valve like a worcester etc, do you need to install a gas test point on all vaillants or just the ecotec plus?

[@GD-qu9hr]

I reckon you could have got them 2 rad pipes down the other side of the joists instead of dog legging the pipes

[@ronnierobinson1502]

Does at cost more for the extra time bends take

[@pallsmortion4750]

Great job, but doesn’t a PRV need 300mm straight pipe after a tundish?

[@PBPlumber]

On an unvented cylinder yes, not on a combi (I think)

[@pallsmortion4750]

I know, it’s a grey area. On a different note my old boss never bought sockets and didn’t like using elbows, me and the swaging tool are old friends. Keep safe

[@pallsmortion4750]

Also, I was going to ask I’m going to set up on my own in a few weeks, do you have any tips for a plumber setting out on his own?

[@leehazelwood6471]

Do you use your local plumbing supplies? If you use internet based suppliers who do you use? Regards

[@shifty277]

Would like to know this too - PB? Internet or name the local merchants you use....

[@MrSjampion]

I wonder, why do you use copper for heating?

[@iot_galaxy7424]

Great video! I have the same boiler. How do I connect a Google nest to it??❤️

[@tomtom2871]

Random question but thoughts on plastic push fit pipe ?

[@jamesbrowne803]

Mate your shit hot real professional makes me want too work at at higher standard boiler on tomorrow morning let's gooooo

Was the flue on the boiler asbestos I had one to remove got quoted 3000 to remove
