HOW TO ADD A RADIATOR TO EXISTING HEATING SYSTEM Pt.1

How to add a radiator to an existing central heating system...PART 1
Today I show you how to install a column radiator onto an existing heating system on timber frame wall in a new room. I'll show you how to get the wall built, how to install the pipes and how to board out proper anchorage points on the wall to hold the weight of the new radiator.
The next video will cover the piping up of the radiator, teeing into the heating system and balancing for use.

Jamesy Boy...you're not still using pushfit stopends on pipework that you're going to be later reconnecting!?!? You crazy kid...instead use a couple old push fit isolation valves. Makes draining easier and avoids the "oops" if there's still a bit of pressure in that pipe. Also a rolled up rubble bag makes a good water catcher. Cheers matey.

[@wtfMYRONL]

Are you saying you can put a TRV on either the flow or the return pipe?

[@plumberparts]

@@wtfMYRONL Yes on a universal TRV. Just look for those arrows!

[@MotherRussiaisforever]

You are my mate, I do everything like you though I am an Engineer. Recently worked with a carpenter put up a brand new roof and people asks me are you not an Engineer? Ha ha ha

[@andrewjames4346]

Can you do a video on picNmix central heating pipe work. I have 12 rads and they are all running different bore pipe. Some radiators have 15mm coming in and 8mm going out. Would be good to see a video of pros and cons of each pipe size... Thanks lad.

[@biggels1990]

Would love to see you trying out some of the Evolution tools range, I was extremely surprised how good they are! Hell of a lot of tool for the money

[@booshallmighty]

I have the evolution mitre saw. I built garden room with it so had lots of use. It's great for DIY but it will be nothing like as good as the professional Bosch mitre saw James is using. I wish I spent more money and bought a makita or bosh professional. When you chop woood with the evolution you can see the cuts are quite straight and you have to mess about it but never quite right. Even straight cuts when it's locked on zero are not right. I had to change the bushes and I'm only on the second blade although I have a diamond blade and a cement board blade. Again lot of use bur they are a bit crap.

[@W1ndy.]

That saw is an absolute beast!!

[@wiktorszm8554]

Btw I love your movies about plumbing :p they explaining a lot even for plumbers who just doing new installation and never had issues with it.

[@terencebrannigan135]

As usual great video but I do think you should have cut your wood floor back screwing it down allows it no room to shrink and expand you could have trouble later

[@ianbonnypitlad397]

I’m wincing every time I see your head so near those exposed sharp brackets!. I once saw a plumber lacerate his hand on a radiator bracket. I had to take him to A&E to have it stitched Take the brackets off until you’re ready to rehang the radiator

[@stevethomas5849]

I am a spark and I built my own garage, daughters bedroom, wet room + loft conversion. Plumbing done by a pro save for loft rad that was me. Just because you have a trade, does not mean you can only do that. I personally won't touch Gas for obvious reasons, but brick/blockwork rendering, plastering and carpentry I enjoy. A break from wiring.

Can you make a video on how you remove the laminate flooring from under a stud wall , when the floor needs to be replaced? 🤔

[@loafersheffield]

Multi tool and lots of blades. Leave the laminate beneath the stud work. Mind you, I'd be more concerned about the expansion/contraction gap. Or lack of one. Especially, since the laminate is sandwiched twixt stud and screeded floor with plugs/screws.

[@MrMrmotocross7]

Probably a niche market, what about doing a vid about connecting a multifuel/woodburning stove to a central heating system?,an if it's at all possible.

[@Fishbait075]

Nice. Are you planning on putting any backing on the stud work? Just thinking that the glass door might get scratched up over time is something slips?

[@malcb1864]

Love the chop saw, I didn't realise they now do a battery version. I have the plug in version and it's great for furniture making. Maybe not ideal for site work though as it is heavy compared to the non-robot arm type.

[@squeakmillward]

George the cat "extra heat ! " lol! :-)

[@vicinglis3736]

Hi James , heating system in our two bed ex LA property is 8mm micro bore with 22mm flow and return would it be acceptable to add a rad by cutting into the feeds to an adjacent rad instead of going into the 22mm (which is the opposite side of the house) ??? The master plan is to tap into a bedroom rad f/r and drop directly below into the kitchen below to add a plinth heater .your guidance would be appreciated. plus how's the flying hope you are building the hours ? Takes me back to my days at Fenland Air Field, at that time two brothers ran the show there

[@peterbooth4399]

Great as always not sure if I missed a bit about the sliding doors? what was the purpose of them? Also I usually take a photo on the phone before the plaster board goes up just for future if you need to find the noggins.

[@rafmo7413]

Shouldn't the plasterboard be cut a little off the floor, if you get water on the floor you'll get damp up the wall no?

[@rafmo7413]

@@surfwidow yeah that's what I thought. Great video and easy enough to use a multi tool to take a strip off the bottom.

[@markdunn78md]

Yes your correct, you should never put the plasterboard directly onto the floor for water ingression.

Great video. Can you tell us where to find the part you mention at 11:40 - the blanking plug that goes inside the gasket union? Ta!

As a chippy, you did make me laugh with your singing at 9.30 ish. You sounded like Boz Scaggs! Why did you fix your floorplate on top of your laminate flooring? When your Missus starts saying she hates the flooring in that room, and wants you to replace it, you have a problem. I always place 'strengtheners' in, when fitting a stud wall that i know a radiator is going to be hung off. I get the customer to show me where its being hung, and take measurements from the rad. Good video. Nice cat.

[@JAYPATEL-dt2sf]

Great video!! Can you do a video on how to stop water hammering after you’ve changed a system boiler to combi boiler. Water hammering happens only after flushing the toilet. Thanks

[@45Camster]

That would be good. We get water hammering once the water tank has been heated up to temp.

[@jamesswinyard530]

You’ll need a mini shock arrestor on the cold main feeding the boiler. Cut the main feeding the boiler, add a t and female iron fitting and screw the arrestor on. Job done.

@@MrEdd4004 i thought 16mm was only used for underfloor heating. Ive obly used 15mm copper for radiators in the past but going to be doing a new build with posi joists and radiators upstairs so require some decent barrier pipe. It mainly all seems to be 16mm, few 15mm like polypipe but usually twice the price as 16mm
