Hi James, im really enjoying your posts here and especially atm as i have been forced into fixing many things that i normally wouldnt attempt but ive got a bit more confidence now to try and tackle all my plumbing issues i hope... so many thanks and by the way, while im just draining a rad to try and fix a leak, ive been cleaning the fins as you recommended doing and remembered doing this once in a house i bought, simply because painting behind it in situ was impossible as it was so dirty with soot and cobwebs etc, you couldnt even see daylight inside and afterwards, i could not believe how much more heat i was suddenly now getting as a result, pretty spectacular! Just one thought, i think you used a feather duster and vacuum device in the video james, i have been trying out a discarded soft dressing gown belt and cut a vertical slit near one end and popped in a weight taken from the bottom of some old heavy curtains ( sometimes found sewn inside hems - to hang better), works a treat plus you can do all middle section in one go which saves some time but i agree, its a no- brainer must do task. Cheers buddy!

[@cglees]

Glad I just saw this!! I’m doing my first fix and was going to bring my waste up in the centre, didn’t occur to me to put the waste at the back. Great video as always, thanks James!!!! Legend

[@amana1480]

Nicely explained dude. Worth noting that not all base units have backs thick enough to fix pipework to though. I prefer to have pipes coming in from the back to prevent losing anything down holes in the base of the cabinet....

[@fezia9669]

you made us see why plumbers can charge so bloody much!! well done. you earnt every penny

[@markb2577]

Beautiful, I do love ogling at a nice bit of under sink plumbing! Ooer one of the first skills we were taught at plumbing school was straight pipes through pipe clips!

[@GeekStreet]

How weird....I was watching this video and started going through the comments and spotted your comment...could this be regarded as a small whole!?

[@woodbine66]

That's not proper plumbing. You haven't scorched the back of the unit behind the pipes.

[@plumberparts]

Ha!

[@daddyfixit5188]

Yea but he left those scored in pencil lines behind the pipes and took the middle shelf away in his van. What shelf 👍😁

[@BrokenArrowsInc]

Great copper pipe work. Id love if my sink was that tidy.

[@JamJamJam94]

Hey I'm a 3rd year aprentice and I was just wondering do you have any tips for soldering when the two fittings are literally side by side. I normally double 45 it to make room. Also do you have any tips for soldering the bottom part of a fitting I always seem to get a bit of solder dribble. Thanks for the videos :)

[@kosmitae]

my fav video so far :) x wish it was designed like that at my house hehe

[@plumberparts]

[@jerryz673]

Hi mate, thanks for the information. Just got a question: for the kitchen waste pipe, can I connect under floor to the toilet waste, or it is better to have separate pipe to the drain? For the concern of blockage in the future.

[@charliep1983]

Another very helpful video James. Thanks! Question: Would you recommend doing all that plumbing with plastic pipes and push fits?

[@isrargulzar7885]

He didn't answer you question that'd prob is big no pal... Many plumbers and student plumbing myself push fit and plastic is no no. Copper is daddy.

[@FOODKINGUK]

professional job nice and clean

[@plumberparts]

Thanks mate!

[@thereds32]

Cool video, I'm new yo yhr plumbing - no valve for the hot water? Thanks

[@carolannexo1472]

Im adding the washing machine plumbing under the sink do i need to add the washer connection valve to the cold feed or the main feed we have 3 pipes under the sink hot cold and main ? Thanks

[@amana1480]

Would be nice to know what selection of valves you used. Thanks

[@cha1ny104]

If you'd put the cold feed on the rhs, you could have avoided the bend to come over the hot pipe... but very neat and tidy, like how you kept it all at the back.

[@michaelhowe7220]

Need more vids like this

[@plumberparts]

Will try to please!

[@briandjordjevic9969]

Very clean job 👌🏻

[@plumberparts]

Cheers Brian!

[@stevo0861]

Nice neat job. The only thing is (here he goes!!) I always chuck the waste kit away and fit two seperate p traps. I do this because the trap is there to create a seal and stop the drain odour coming back up through the waste pipes. With the waste kit, there is a reasonable amount of pipework before the water seal and I've found this can eventually lead to waste build up in that section of pipework and odour escaping into the kitchen.

[@plumberparts]

Bang on mate, totally agree! Sorry for the delay in replying! Sub here please➡️👉 kzbin.info 👈⬅️If you haven't already!

[@michaeldineen2571]

i love your videos

[@plumberparts]

Thanks man!

[@user-wq6hr9xi2n]

Nice vid! Id like you working on my house. Would have been good to summarise what youd done with the copper pipes - didnt really follow what youd done

[@amana1480]

Do you always use full bore valves? Any particular brand you like to use?

[@BlackbirdGirl72]

Just a quick question regarding the washing machine drainage. I notice that the drainage pipe that the washing machine drainage hose is going to be connected to is practically horizontal to the drainage pipe for the sink. Does this mean that when the sink is emptied suddenly and all the water rushes away that some of it will go up that left hand drainage pipe and down the washing machine drainage hose into the washing machine just from the force of the water rushing down from the sink hole if you get what I mean.

[@martin79-g7z]

Went to a house to attend a dishwasher malfunction recently where there was a new kitchen install. The waste water from the sink etc goes out through the wall. But its done such that the pipe into the wall is much higher than usual, in this case so that the U trap and nearly all pipework including the dishwasher and washing machine couplings are constantly immersed in water, cos the outflow pipe through the wall is higher. Is this a problem?, and is it against uk regs?.

[@313keiko1]

All very pretty but how do you put it into position ??

[@mickyyyy5236]

The stranger returns ;) hold tight

[@plumberparts]

Ha! Cheers mate!

[@FernsChannel17]

Great video! What brand of hole saws were you using?

[@plumberparts]

Can't remember and the van is too far away (drive) for me to get up and look!

[@Cumbriahandyman]

Thanks for the bonus. Did you put the cold tap on the left?

[@plumberparts]

Cold tap in the UK is always on the right, for the poor sighted.

[@isabelspencer8240]

I have had a new tap & sink unit installed. Now the drainage is poor and water sits in the sink for ages before draining away! Never had a problem with drainage before and the pipes are not blocked. What can be the problem? It is a Blanco silgranite unit. many thanks, James.

[@terry651000]

Is it possible to take copper pipe straight to tap instead of flexi pipe?

[@johnmilman9049]

You should do a video on plumbing a waste disposal unit

[@maffbuckley600]

Hi .. water is leaking through the joins of my pipes, have re tightened them but still leaking?

[@kingcraigj]

Nice videos mate. Any advice on how to stop your clips melting when doing sink work? Also how to get your heat pad in the right spot to stop the scorch marks when soldering on elbows through the carcass?

[@tackleberryc6472]

What do you do if you cant match your plumbing up to your waste pipe ?

[@blmason779]

So if the pipe that goes under the unit gets blocked? What can I do to unblock it? Tried bendy wire Barbarb of soda and vinegar Boiling water Non have worked.

[@rickc1798]

thanks for the video, my diswasher is about 1.5m away from the sink how should i run the waste to the sink across and also the cold , thanks

[@dmo5283]

I have a problem, i only have one water pipe and the machine is using it, so how do i attach my dishwasher🤔

[@stevecraft00]

Just bought a house that needs totally replumbing. I hope my plumber can do half as nice a job as this! I'd do it myself but the missus won't let me! Says I'd take too long.

[@plumberparts]

Ha!

[@rhinomate8026]

Hey! Nice video, where did you get those copper benders, I need them.

[@plumberparts]

Pop into any old suppliers mate! SUBSCRIBE! ➡️👉 kzbin.info if you haven't already!

[@tlangdon12]

Got mine off eBay.

[@ottofumbler7267]

I'm not an expert, but for the feed to "the rest of the house", which would include the boiler, bathroom, etc., isn't 15mm too small? Even if you are employing an attic tank, I would have thought 22mm is best practice. Tell me if I'm wrong please.

[@Lilyz37]

Neat👍

[@truckerfromreno]

I've had a wire spider down my sink, chemicals and caustic soda but its still completely blocked after three weeks. Got the trap off and its all clean. Now ive no boiler, no washing machine and no sink and dont know what to do. Any ideas please?

[@cosprint]

im not sure what code is in the UK but in canada the trap you installed would basically be called an "S" trap. here we need the venting to be above the trap not below. Do you ever find that the ptrap self siphons on that particular set up? '

[@plumberparts]

No, never! We have an airbreak built in to the fitting! Sorry for the delay in replying! Sub here please>> kzbin.info

[@amana1480]

Is the whole house being fed by a 15mm main pipe? Is that ideal?

[@franceshawe9572]

I'm jealous. I'm just looking at the piping mess under my sink😧

[@Mozzer209]

Great vid, just watched it with the Mrs but she says sort your sleeves out and where is big G???

[@plumberparts]

Big G can't come to work! Sleeves sorted!

[@Hornycactus114]

Can you paint a sink? I need help painting

[@scottybogs6895]

looks good but the trap isn't vented at all! UK Code doesn't require venting I guess lol

[@garvielloken3929]

Nooice!

[@cmal90]

More and more kitchen units now come with just a plyboard backing. No use for clipping to.

[@thechrissyb]

Nice and neat. Aren't the trap connections going to be slightly short unless the worktop is the same thickness as the mdf. Not knocking your work, just wondering?

[@danielbrannigan6532]

No. It's a undercount sink. So it will be long if anything. The sink is sitting 18mm high. Trap looks telescopic also.

[@thechrissyb]

+Daniel Brannigan arr valid point, I sported that at the beginning. completely forgot. Yeah your right might be too long. I'm thinking they went for granite, or maybe just the bespoke mdf rustic worktop.

[@plumberparts]

Yeah top going on next week!

[@plumberparts]

20mm granite I think...

[@chrisdyer1000]

England doesn't require a vent on that trap? Different code here in Ontario!

[@tomdickinson2158]

It would have been nice to have seen a drain off tap above the stop tap. Other than that a good job.

[@plumberparts]

Cheers Tom! Sorry for the delay in replying! Sub here please➡️👉 kzbin.info 👈⬅️If you haven't already!

[@matthewbell9664]

If that’s the incoming main shouldn’t you have a double check valve above the stop cock and a drain off is good practise. Looks lovely though

[@parmindersingh1430]

Wouldnt it be a s trap here in ontario ? Anyone explain

[@plumberparts]

Hi Jay, tell me was it too quiet? Getting to be a problem!

[@mej974]

Yeah it was really quiet. I had to have it full blast to hear it.I just watched a few other videos on your channel they were fine.

[@thethoroughbred]

Watching this on my laptop. Recording is far too low. If I was on a train or something there would be no chance.

[@daddyfixit5188]

That’s great how can you plumb up a twin bowl and still keep the shelf ??????????????? Challenge you 👍😁

[@rpvitiello]

Is syphoning not an issue with your plumbing codes over there? S traps like that have been totally banned in North America. Either you would need an air admittance valve, or an “island” vent installed.

[@grahamt8808]

Funny how they ban those, but they won't ban Guns!

[@charliemccollum]

Should you get a plumber to do a kitchen sink replacement?

[@markjohnson4768]

it looks like the cold feed is over the hot ???

[@plumberparts]

Might be! Sorry for the delay in replying! Sub here please➡️👉 kzbin.info 👈⬅️If you haven't already!

Rough, enough sed, top wash mac tap no room to get hose on, solder shocking, pipes will sweat under the sink and cause condensation, need lagging, keep hot and cold away from each other in a confind space best you can
