Finding myself saying "jobbing around" to myself all the time now Mark 😂

[@carlholmes7588]

I always just put a little bit of silicone on the underneath of them plastic lugs on the brackets mark and they always seem to stay on 👍

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Yep good tip

[@JayG2K]

i would have thought it would come off. but did see another video of another plumber using grease on a tap rubber back nut.

[@richardlewis5316]

I was about to say the same thing! Getting all 4 to stay on especially on a tall radiator which is heavy is a right b**l ache!!

Celloptape

Hi Mark, some nice jobs there to get sorted, the little cloak room looks like it will be a nice job, I look forward to the next episode from that. Hope the holiday is going well, have a great week and take care, regards Chris. ☀️😎🍻👍👍👍

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Yer will be a nice little job to drop onto next week👌🏼👌🏼

[@walternimmo8741]

Hi Mark, I secure to bracket with a piece of sellotape. Job done. Best Walter

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Nice little tip👌🏼👌🏼

[@gracebateman777]

The random bits of wood were packers to make it level.

[@bluebulldog_uk]

Plumb thumbs for the win 🙌 them rubber things am a nightmare, feel like lobbing the rad out the window after 3 attempts 😂

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Gotta love a plumbthumb

[@chiron6699]

Avocado green bog. Classic.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Oldschool 👌🏼

[@bodinski100]

I did put them in..honest! Haha

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

🤣🤣🤣

[@glyndavies591]

Those rad brackets and plastic lugs are always a fiddle hope you are having a lovely holiday

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

They are a right pain mate….. Holiday is amazing buddy, just sat round the pool nursing a hangover🤣

[@JR-1983]

The new Rad looks nice 👍🏻

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Yer looked well👌🏼

[@TomRedshawPK]

Good Stuff as always mate, how do you go about hanging them designer rads? i always hang the top bracket nice and secure then hang it and draw the bottom ones on in position, i find it gets a nice tighter fit but curious if theres a smarter way to do it. Tip for if the shower screens have silicone behind and are a pain to get off, CT1 do a cleaning spray, spray some of that up the side and get 2 nice and flexible wall paper scrapers/filling knives, theyll slide in nice and easy and just alternate taking one out and sliding one in till youve done it all the way down, works a treat! keep up the good work 👍👍

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Yep I’ve hung rads that way before and it’s spot on👌🏼👌🏼

[@fionnan2811]

A well plumbed micro bore system is very efficient and heats up very fast

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Not a fan of microbore at all….

[@jasonsimpson-ks8un]

Done 5 of them rads 2 weeks ago hung them differently I agree with the anti vibration things shame they don't design them to stick when you put them on

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Bit of double sided tape would work

[@CH-en4er]

Great video thanks for posting. A wee question - the stabalising bar at the top of the shower screen, do they come with the screen or is it something you buy seperate ? And are they recommended ? Ive not long installed mine but i dont have one. Now bit worried maybe i should get one.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate…… they come with a screen is it’s needed buddy

[@user-xe6un8pz1e]

Hi mate I always pop a little mitre glue on the rubbers so they don’t move

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Good shout that

[@gracebateman777]

Nice one

[@lee2003uk]

Carpet in the toilet you got to love the 70s 80s

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Hahaha crazy or what

[@grantfearon7089]

I hold the anti vibration lugs on with some electrical tape

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

👌🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@daverogerson5969]

Mitre bond everytime

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

A few people have said that…. I will have to get some for the van

[@jacktheplumber1]

10mm inserst ! into to the 10mm pipe JG pipe. Surprised the old valve never had one when yo cut it off should be fine on a gravity fed. Feel your pain at these rubber bracket covvers. Your lucky you noticed before finishing. Nice job

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Did you see what I put on the video……

[@jacktheplumber1]

@@MJTiffPlumbing I must have blinked at that part! It was not a critisism but an observation as the original valve did not have one hence I mentioned it.

[@zanegibson1902]

Glue them on with a bit of mitre adhesive

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Few people have said this…. I like it👌🏼

[@DunkiSTI]

Yeah exactly what I do quick and never fall off

[@cadjet37]

You didn't mention about the baffle that is usually on the inlet side of the rad. If your feed goes in on wrong side it won't heat up.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

No baffle on this one…. That’s why I didn’t mention it👍🏼👍🏼

[@gmhandymanpropertyservices]

Glue em!

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

👍🏼👍🏼

[@tony78652]

Hi Mark On the radiator install, do you not have to put a sleeve in the plex pipe when putting the valve on?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Did you see the caption that come up on the screen when watching the video???…..

[@tony78652]

Hi Mark, seen now, many thanks, great channel@@MJTiffPlumbing

[@bodinski100]

Still dont believe ya 😂

[@tomevans8749]

How do you secure the bottom of that fixed shower screen to the bath? Is it just silicone and the supporting bar at the top?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

It just sits on the bath and a line of silicone to seal it

[@tomevans8749]

Ah cheers. It's wobbling well over the shop at mine. I'll dry it all out and give it a good seal again. Thanks!

[@JayG2K]

do you need to use an insert for 10mm plastic?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

I do👌🏼👌🏼

[@JayG2K]

@@MJTiffPlumbing ok never used 10mm plastic yet.

[@danielabramov887]

Do you not have to use inserts on plastic?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

You do….. that’s why I put up on the screen that I fitted inserts 😉

[@killerbean9911]

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but those brass reducing kits aren't meant to be used on plastic are they? I thought we are only meant to use copper olives on plastic As always top video and I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates those brackets and anti vibration things. Took me like 15 tries once I was fuming

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Ive never had an issue using them on plastic to be honest…… Yep those brackets are a right pain

[@killerbean9911]

@@MJTiffPlumbing I'll be honest I hate the reducing kits even on copper, always had them leak on me 😂 fair enough though! All the best

[@TheFool2cool]

Do you worry about using those pushfit caps on painted pipes?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Never had an issue for a short capping off

[@TheFool2cool]

@@MJTiffPlumbing cheers, I'm just starting out and have been cleaning pipes before using push fit so maybe I'm being a bit overly cautious!

[@Limitlessboilers]

I would always clean the paint off the pipe

[@andrewhayes4914]

I really don't like seeing mechanical joints on plastic pipe I've seen them fail with unhappy endings to many times, I definitely wouldn't use them nuggets on plastic

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

The whole rad system on the house it done like that and not an issue, but know what your saying..👍🏼

[@nickcollins7568]

I am sure the close coupling bolts would have seized up and would have to cut them if you had been repairing and not scrapping the toilet

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

100% they would 🤣🤣

Tie em on wiv ptfe
