[@tethadam6678]

You've helped guide me through the early stages of my career,thank you your doing a great job it really appreciated by me and im sure 1000s of others

[@ajmalsafi3774]

Thank you PB for the time and effort to share your experience with us

[@charlescole937]

We need a full tool tour Pete, it would be a great watch, along with an updated van tour!

[@filippgyemicsev4057]

Thank you Pete, it's great to see that you are feeling better! 🙂

[@garyredfern2542]

I watch your videos every week. Your knowledge on boilers and fault finding is amazing. The door bell shows your human 😂. But now you know how to do it you can advise and install for future customers 👍👍

[@robertwhiteoak91]

Had a wilo pump do something similar to that viessmann pump. The coil had arced across and burnt a hole through to the water side causing a slow weep. Awesome video, definitely one of the best people to watch on KZbin

[@jaffplumbs26]

Great vid mate Thanks as always 👍

[@ThePa1ch]

The mercury switch is so cool to see, breaks the circuit as the vial tips so the hammer can reset.

[@callum8538]

Epic video as usual. The door bell was very interesting 👍 Looked like you got a bit excited with the pump washer in the boiler 💦 😂. Keep the videos coming 😉

[@puntoboy_gaming]

The white Nest dongly thing, is the chime adapter. I'm pretty sure it's just got a capacitor inside, that maintains the voltage to the doorbell when the chime rings. As the mechanical chimes work by connecting and disconnecting the power briefly. The WiFi is all done via the doorbell itself. They can be a bit of a pain to setup the first time but once you have done one they are fairly straightforward.

[@amirhussain1449]

Good work easy explaining how to get the work done

[@janahan100]

Pb you are keep proving that you are a legend

[@danielshaw4692]

I installed my own nest door bell and it wasn't too bad, I didn't have an existing door bell chime which is why it was easier. Picked up the transformer and box from Screwfix wired it into a plug socket by my front door and that was it. My Nest door bell came with a Google speaker which works as the door bell charm. I found a video on KZbin but I'm a fan of nest products, the door bell is much better than ring for pictures quality in low light and personally it looks better.

[@manickbarry]

Love that old doorbell chime

[@davidmarsden8868]

Well done with the mouse traps, that’s exactly what I would do

[@ian1104]

Thanks Pete I like to watch your exploits I remember doing a lot of these things before I stopped being self employed Cheers Ian Ex Kingston Gas

[@theforkieman]

Great video as always. Like these little jobs just as much as the big jobs. Well done P.B. Hopefully the talk with the van dealer went well for the security upgrades. As always showing problems with jobs like we all have not just the finished job

[@eastsussexcyclists7195]

Obviously I know this is an old vid now but I'm just catching up. With regards to the new pump you haven't mentioned about fitting rcd if the house fuse board needs it.

[@stewartharrod1706]

Another great video Please keep them coming 🙏

[@nickyhenderson7943]

Thanks for the video. Great to see new tools and your views on them. Just to let you know it’s a common issue with those wilo pumps. Happens the same on ideal mini’s

[@benpriestley5277]

As always a great video. Keep up the great work.

[@khansk36]

Great video as allways keep em coming bro 👌 take care all the best...

[@Smart_fix]

Great information Peter thanks for sharing ♥️🙂👍🏼

[@joshd790]

Great video Pete loads of information 🤝

[@chrisbw591]

Great Video, I like the varied ones. Just as an fyi - the fans on Vaillant ecotec pro - you have to create a thread too.

[@PBPlumber]

yeah i remember someone else telling me that. in all my years i’ve never swapped a fan on a vaillant either

[@Honest_Reviewer.]

Hope your mental health is doing good. Take care.

[@ThePa1ch]

As always - great video. I'm pretty sure that's a weep hole on the pump leaking to show the water seal on the shaft has failed. More common on cars. I appreciate all the videos, thank you.

[@alexshepherd3308]

Love the bit about setting the mouse 🐁 taps off that’s what I’d do too 😂 And as regards the pump it drives me nuts must of fitted nearly a thousand pumps never needed them the way around they send them out of the factory wish they would alter that would save loads of time they must be a reason 🤷🏻

[@tonywebb9909]

Thanks P, my dogs went berserk when you kept ringing your mums doorbell. Yes you were right to google a circuit diagram because those usually come with a US based drawing

[@loafersheffield]

I went beserk when the missus tagged 2 additional cameras on to the outside cam...inside the house. If you've ever seen the movie version of George Orwell's 1984. you'll know what I mean. search telescreen 1984. I call the missus, "Big Mother".

[@matthewtucker1178]

I hope I can get there this week .. fingers crossed I’ll be going on Wednesday to Newport

[@karlos1316]

Hi PB - Enjoyed the video and was interesting to see the nest door bell install 👍 Regarding the new USP3 pumps just wondered if you have been fitting Type A Rcd's?

[@richardnewbery]

Thanks for the videos, Pete. Your tool reviews are really helpful. And massive respect to you for tripping those vile mousetraps m8.

[@adegriff1843]

Great video Pete, enjoy the break down ones, 👍🏻

[@simonlen235]

Great video can I ask I want to drain my sealed system down to remove the two down stairs rads chop the pipes to them and cap them off what do I need to do to the boiler to stop the system filling up but I need to keep the hot water side running do I turn off the flow and return on the boiler pipes and the hot water can still run only asking as my plumber is being hard to get at thanks for your help and it’s your fault you live so far otherwise you would be doing it for me 😂 take care and mate

[@leepickett3655]

Pete where can I find a squeeze off tool that will do less than 25mm mdpe ? Top vid as always 👍

[@samjohnson5316]

Yes to the crescent grips. I have a small and medium pair. There the only gripe for me. Too vid as always. 🤙

[@musthavetoolsforthetrade6436]

I have tried doing an out side tap with a kit and I will be honest it went balls up and still leaks. I will stick to the electrical side of things

[@bikerjon153]

Any sparks that slate you tell them to install a combi and see how they go.

[@jasonwhittle5008]

Great again mate 👍👍👍

[@cippollino83]

Hi PB Can you please send the link of one of relay video for Central heating. Can not find it. Thank you

[@Tryingtimes007]

Pete, electricians don’t know how ring doorbells work, but a “loop-wire” in a Wago on a key ring, well who knew 👍

[@dennisphoenix1]

Pete when you fit a 2 or 3 port don't you consider fitting valves so it's easier next time ??

[@tphvac87]

Wow, you’ve never had to remove a manufacturer pump(if I heard you right), try working on a navein, they are just terrible combi units, hopefully they don’t start pushing to the UK!

[@strongandco]

Fwiw I'd imagine the pump head casting had warped through multiple heat cycles. Btw it wasn't your place to set of those mouse traps, mice love to eat wiring insulation so if you don't want to increase your customers risk of a house fire I suggest you myob!

[@SME_Ste]

Was that a mercury filled switch in the old doorbell?

[@kevincranfield5235]

What was the F2 cause? Curious as I am an ex ideal engineer ?

[@treecutter1806]

Are you coming back to the hub I miss yours and Tom nagys content!😢

[@dennisphoenix1]

I am a sparks and doorbells are a nuisance. 😃😃

[@Maciejowicz]

You seem like a reasonable guy, but the mouse thing is weird. Are you one of them who would trap a rat and take him for a ride to the woods to set it free ?

[@mynameis9739]

I think Pete would he has said in previous videos he loves animals

[@Maciejowicz]

@@mynameis9739 so i hope he is vegan and does not separate apples from their mother - the tree

[@mrbachittarsingh9243]

Yeah very strange, I know someone who caught weils disease from a loft that had a bad mouse infestation, should leave other peoples stuff alone.

[@philanthropist1241]

PB you obviously take after your dad, your mum is good looking !😄

[@PBPlumber]

🤣🤣 bless her

[@stuarttthomas7847]

Do you shave/hair removal on your arms?

[@davidsherwin2928]

New pump, new fan, on a 10y old boiler, just replace it 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[@loafersheffield]

Noooo! Not a Nest or Ring doorbell. Fitted 1 fer the missus. She's tagged another 2 cams into it. Inside the house. "Big Mother" is watching me. See: George Orwell. 1984. Telescreen!!! Comments help promote the channel, regardless of how daft or puerile they are.

[@SuperWayneyb]

🤘😎🤘

[@RDavisElectrical]

Next week I’m fitting a boiler 🙄😂

[@PBPlumber]

need me to help you lift it mate? 😏

[@stupot_64]

Can't wait to see the video 😉

[@RDavisElectrical]

@@PBPlumber I’ve got plumberparts helping, thanks tho

[@dennisphoenix1]

How hard can it be fitting a boiler 😂😂

[@PBPlumber]

@@RDavisElectrical why are you fitting a boiler in a studio and pretending it’s a real job

[@69PlombierChauffagisteRamoneur]

hi

[@jackwhotton6145]

can tell you're a plumber... the 'washer' is a seal

[@farukadam1696]

👌😀👍

[@blackdeath1886]

Excuse me, but why did you set off that guys mouse traps?? It’s a rather odd thing to do in someone else’s house especially when you’re supposed to be a professional tradesperson. Mice can cause serious damage if not controlled, I hope you never have to suffer an infestation of them 👎
