Good video mate. You can get 3 -1/2 inch pan connectors for them old outlets. I normally cut it back to the wall and the pan connector will push straight in. 👍😎😎😎

Thanks very much, PB didn’t know this. I didn’t want to cut too much back in case I completely balled up.

Fair play, one plumber to another, we all get toilets from hell. Usually on days when we really, really haven't got the patience for them. Ha ha. I see you use a lot of the VIVA brand stuff.... I really like them too. Good prices and their stuff seems to cover a lot of scenarios. Gets me out of trouble without costing too much in van stock. Anyway - good vid. Keep on.

[@Heatking]

Thank you very much, mate. Appreciate the support a lot. Yes I love Viva products, haven’t had any issues with them and like you say very reasonably priced.

[@utilitarian]

I had to replace a floor for a landlord after the whole thing was rotten. Never a pleasant job but you did well. It’s crap when the toilet leaks like that 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Heatking]

Thanks very much, Steve for the comments on both. Appreciate it as always. It was a shambles that second toilet.

[@dmarriott9701]

The lead connection to soil is what was known as a brass thimble. It was connected to the lead by means of wiped joint and then the pan was caulked in with possibly sand and cement

[@Heatking]

Thanks for that, mate. Didn’t know, learn something new every day appreciate the advice.

[@dmarriott9701]

@@Heatking connected to many lead outlets by cutting off at the wall and using suitable pan connector that was available at the time. Dead easy connections nowadays with plastic pipe and providing seals don’t get damaged on installation the job’s a gud un.Only ever had to erect a cast iron soil once on an architect controlled job. The lead caulking with tarred rope was a bugger, very time consuming. Looked good when it was done though.

[@richardlewis5316]

I was surprised you didn't bring the feed pipe for the toilet up closer to the soil pipe and then use a flexi to connect. I never fit a handle and old type of flush as you still need an overflow or did the flush have one built in?

[@Heatking]

Had one built in yes. And in hindsight, I should have brought the feed a bit closer and use a flexi, I did think that when I stood back after fitting it haha

[@julianhawker7672]

Had a strange one today went to a unvented cylinder the vessel was flatt pumped it up to 3 bar as on the data badge then when i put the water back on i got browny coloured water out and it smelt like heating water do you think it was the water from the expansion vessel which must have entered the cylinder

Yeh I defo think it was the stagnant water out the vessel mate. It should clear itself though.

@@Heatking yes that's what I put it down to intreasting though as on the data badge it said pre charge should be checked every 6 months I can't see that happening lol .but I am pushing more on the servicing of cylinders since paying out for the ticket .when I fit a cylinder I fit a pressure gauge after the pressure reducing valve so you can easily see the pressure to make sure it's working correctly how do you cheak the pressure easily is ther a tip I have a 10 bar guage I made up with a flexible pipe to go on a outside tap but it's not easy to find a place on the cylinder to check it
