P B Plumber This job turned into a nightmare job PART 1

[@sallac8243]

Just discovered your channel, new subscriber. Love the intro, guess were from the same generation.

[@hvac_scotland5215]

It doesn’t matter how many times you pipe something up, opening those valves is a scary time. Massive fan PB love the videos 👌

[@nathanielreid4967]

Indeed

[@MarcelHVAC]

Agree, and that goes also for filling up a central heating system.

[@johnmehaffey9953]

I’m a retired brickie and you talking about being cold just brings back memories of when I was serving my time standing on the scaffold with the east wind howling in right beside the sea no shelter whatsoever temperature just above freezing so we were told to work 55 years later and I can still remember how cold I was I walked about a mile home to try and get my circulation going but no avail thank goodness we had a coal fire in those days instant hot water into the bath and eventually got my temperature regulated, it taught me that only on an urgent job would I stay out in extreme cold weather

[@iBandit1234]

You had jobs that were not urgent? Sounds like a good time.

[@malachy1847]

Those large Diaphragm Valves on the suction side next to the Tanks should be GONE and replaced with Full Bore Ball Valves as those are a serious restriction of the Flow, to that suction side of new booster set...that being said also a large Y strainers down stream each of same might also be required to catch any of the rubbish that could come from those really old tanks...just a suggestion...Great Work Lads...

[@Si_H]

What came out of that blue pipe looks like some of the ‘tea’ I’ve been served at customers houses 😂😂

[@duncancox4905]

Two vids in a few hours!! Nice one PB! Sunday night had just got better 😊

[@jamespoland4164]

Keep a snickers hat and berghaus jacket in my vans cab for the cold days!

[@ShainAndrews]

17:52 That had me nervous. I suppose with the temps a person has some extended work time on those fittings. I see too many guys get in a pickle when all the elbows are not on the same plane. I don't envy the rework that will be required when I assume the cast pipe has to be abandoned. Such is life though. Hope things work, and prepare for when it doesn't.

[@CsöszakiHoszivattyu]

Sadly we always install this booster set in bigger houses in Guildford area my boss loves them. I pretty much hate them, we also use press copper instead of Plastic, but is depense from budget. They good pumps.. as Previous comment heated jacket for this jobs.. You will love it.. I have Makita one and Milwaukee jumper 12v they are life safer.. Nice set up by the way..👍

[@metallitech]

12:26 I would spray some silicone oil on that saw to make the cutting easier, but then again use lube on almost everything.

[@whatevernamegoeshere3644]

20:58 HA. I sure hope that metering device is IP54 or higher lol

[@markedmonds9958]

Correct me if I m wrong but this feeds houses and used as drinking water from the tank.If so you need to drain the tank and remove the outlets that are not used not just cap as will be dead legs.

[@heatspec]

100% and they will be, planned date when the tanks can be drained

Stuart Turner used to make little boat engines. I've had a couple .interesting how old engineering company names pop up again .

[@UberAlphaSirus]

Shame about the tea water, but at least you won't run out of milk. That's quite a small accumulator for what the pump set is feeding. Working in the cold sucks, if you bang your hands it hurts 10x times as much, lol.

[@MMKLYH]

‘Tune in later to see a big puddle in that field’ the foreshadowing is insane

[@PlumbingbyMJ]

First time I've ever commented. Really enjoy your vids. I'm a plumber myself but I work in water treatment and legionella prevention. Installed a few of these. Was just wondering though, why have the old outlets not been capped off closer to the tank? Big dead-ends. I get you probably didn't want to drain it. If we had this job we would also have bene doing a C&D on the tank.

[@heatspec]

It’s going to be done, new tank going over the other side and more other works coming up

[@crplumbing2746]

I'm going with existing underground leaks as it emptied out super quick, I foresee problems once pressurized. PS: Belted Galloway cattle IIRC.........

[@heatspec]

I did find it very bizarre when I cracked the unions to find nothing. Must of been leaking for a long time. I am going to suggest meters to be installed

[@syncrosimon]

I would have thought a larger accumulator would be better? Great to see this sort of work👍👍 bigger jobs bigger money bigger risks.

[@irechopshop]

Was there a reason why you didn’t fit any unions before the pump set, but watching you use ABS pipe brings back memories to the early 80,s for me, using on machine plants

[@wilba8604]

I’ve had the same thing with ptfe, locktight all the way . Very frustrating

[@raphaelxtmntx8695]

Worste plumber feeling is coming to a house to seeing an old radiator sprung a leak and they had plush cream carpets it’s was a disaster and they tried to say I did the mess But I took pictures before I started and they tried to get away with the job

[@makg4655]

#P& B QUESTION!!! Is there a reason you used 2x 90’ bends on the top Pitlochry of the pump rather than changing the laser height to slightly higher to allow for zero 90’ bends ??

[@edthelasttribe9580]

Nice one , I love this stuff , that’s my field or one of them, problem is nowadays, they had that leak for a while from underneath the ground, they knew this … biggest issue is to work for a rich folks , they’re never honest, always trying to stitch you up to get free work or claims out of you, it’s not always a case , but it does happens often , that’s how they stay rich … awesome video , great 👍 job .

Amateurs!! You always fill the kettle up first!! :) great work guys!!

[@metallitech]

Has anyone noticed that ball valves often don't open 100%? Is this normal? When I fitted one I filed a bit of brass off to get it closer to 100%.

[@tphvac87]

Cpvc is great stuff especially what you got there, is temperature rated for high efficiency boilers as well…idk why you guys don’t use that stuff in the UK to vent boilers…I know you mostly use concentric kits on boilers so maybe that why, cheers mate! Tom from the states. P.S. you guys don’t have any ratcheting pipe cutters or is it too close to the brick for that? That’s some serious plumbing fellas good job!

[@kc0eks]

So first job was install pumps to boost pressure or flow? Then later on you end up installing what looks like smaller water line when the outside swiss cheese pipes fail.. doesn't that make the pump less useful?

[@SME_Ste]

As a non plumber an interesting watch Pete, cheers

[@adejohnston6831]

We don't fit the abs pipe its always copper , it is more expensive but less likely to burst if it freezes. Easy to work with mostly press fit. most of the fittings on the unit are parrallel threads and had trouble with the joints weeping myself. We have been fitting Lowara booster sets fully modulating pumps with auto changeover.

[@antoniogalluccio4213]

Reason to use this pvc pipe other than mdpe pipe?

[@rafordy]

Why has someone installed ABS elbows with PVC pipe

[@BlGB0SS]

I wouldn't be able to sleep for nights thinking there's multiple leaks from the ABS to the caste 😅

[@markhoward5780]

Can you tell me what the saw is please

Isn’t the solvent weld glue Ment to be a different type for the grey abs pipe?

[@captainmashedpotato2630]

Yes. ABS also has a 24 hour cure time as opposed to PVC which is pressure tight within the hour.

[@memezilla4370]

@@captainmashedpotato2630 exactly, which is why I'm wondering why they ran it I few hours later

[@Tom_Plumb_PHS]

Is that glue same as solvent weld for domestic waste pipes? Or is it different stuff for potable applications. That water was a hell of a colour. 🤮

[@katydugard6112]

It’s different for the abs plastic. You also use a cleaner on the file first.

[@brianbennett5918]

Did you agree a disclaimer before starting that any damage caused by increase in pressure you wasn’t liable for? It’s like changing a heating system from tank to pressurised ,the old pipes don’t like it 😳I must admit I cringed when I saw you using ptfe 😂

[@cippollino83]

Could you install an additional expansion vessel, in case if one gets faulty?

[@cliveramsbotty6077]

yes but if one goes the other will be of similar age so you'd just replace both so there wouldn't be much point. you'd also need to worry about another dead leg.
