As an apprentice site plumber, watching your videos is so interesting, learning a lot from them!

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate.... I started on sites nearly 30years ago... house bashing. Great times back then. Glad your enjoying the content mate, plenty more to come.👍🏼

I work mostly on the Avant homes, nice big houses, concealed taps, toilets and basins, they’re nice! Can’t wait to see what’s to come!

As someone who solders a joint once every five years on his acs exam, I'm impressed how you did all those joints and never left a single scorch mark. If it had been me, it would have looked like the inside of a coal fire.

Cheers mate. Thanks for the detail about your mat, noticed it in every vid, will defo be something I'm interested in. Always good to see next steps, especially as that's the kitchen we watched you chase out for what no doubt for you seemed like hours! Very neat job under the sink, bread and butter plumbing right there. 👍

Top video as usual mate, I had to change a leaking tail on a very expensive rad at weekend and the engineer I was with tried locktite and paste and was still leaking, he then wrapped it 40 times with ptfe and that worked a treat, looking forward to the next one pal

Thanks John 👍🏼👍🏼

[@Plumbingbob]

Just changed an ideal standard flush washer today. Had to put a new iso in too cos I changed the inlet and it was a low pressure feed as well and had to empty the loft tank. I love the loctite thread to be honest it can spill out on rad tails but you soon get used to the stuff and how much is required. Those waste outlets are a pain. Polypipe traps usually come with a euro adapter for them.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Sounds like you had a fun day then Robert..... never a dull moment in our game is there👍🏼👍🏼

[@kurtthedrummingplumber]

People moaning about PTFE. Nothing wrong with PTFE. (Disclaimer.. I do use Loctite... but I also use PTFE when it calls for it..) You do what you do. If you've done something for 10+years and it's worked.. it's worked!

Loving the video as always , definitely keep doing what you’re doing , real life stuff , you have the sincerity and likability on your side too so sure loads more will follow you . PS I know what you mean about crap parts I got out the office this last week fitting a new bathroom and the bath trap supplied by a well-known bathroom supplier looked like it came out of a Christmas cracker didn’t even have a washer in it so God knows how that was supposed to not leak!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂 typical had used last of van stock the previous week , so in the van off to the merchants to buy a new one again 30 minutes plus wasted cost of fuel etc 🤬 😂😂

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate.... I’m glad it’s coming across how I was hoping it would....👍🏼👍🏼 Yep, some of the stuff we have to fit is a joke sometimes

[@chas120374]

You do get a flange adapter, converts the euro flat flange to UK spigot seal. I always keep one in my plumbing box.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Yep… as you say shouldn’t have to but we have too 🤣🤦🏼‍♂️

[@mateuszjurczak5723]

I use locktite 55 all the time and never use ptfe. When you use the locktite on brass connections get a spanner and run it across the thread all around, it cuts the locktite when screwing the connection in and hold even better other wise while screwing the connection in it will just slide out.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Nice tip buddy... will give it a go... thanks

[@fredmorozov]

Its a Wren kitchens and those temporary sinks are headache but usually they are sendng whole waste complect and adapters with it. Next time ask fitters to leave all plumbing components in sink unit.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Yep it’s a Wren kitchen...... The fitters hadn’t left anything on site hence the hassle, I did have a look round. Just a right pain!!!!

[@shotas2121]

Nice work clean but I would like a Bypass under the filter in case of failure to be able to circulate the wate

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Get yourself a little squirty bottle mate to squirt your fittings then wipe them down with a rag saves a lot of time when soldering a lot of fittings. I love watching your videos a great watch 👍🏼

[@chrisholt2474]

Great film, I love copper pipe work and toilet flushes. I’m interested to see what you think of the locktite instead of ptfe tape. Just a quick question if that’s ok, would you recommend putting silicone grease on the rubber sealing washer inside a new drain off valve? Hope the rest of the week is good to you, take care, regards, Chris.

Hi are water filters quite common down south? We very rarely fit them in Scotland. Mainly commercial properties.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Unfortunately yes as the water is so bad.... you are blessed up there with great water

[@DJNITROALLY]

u should have put a bigger filter or the 3 way cause the whole home is filterd and they will be changing filters ever so often with the bigger ones u get more run time also compensate for pressure drop

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

I’ve fitted these for years buddy, they last around 18months with zero pressure loss. Thanks for watching 👍🏼👍🏼

Nice tidy job Mark 👍 Them European sink wastes are a pain in the @rse, I usually carry a couple of adapters as van stock and I'm sure you do to - but then you use them and forget to replace 😬 Are you fitting the quooker boiling tap ? I like the quooker ones , especially the quooker combi - but not keen on the Frankie range.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Exactly mate.... need to restock to save that bloody trip back to the merchants... I think the kitchen fitters are doing the tap as they wanted the feed putting in while I was there. I fitted one of the Bristan ones not long ago and was quite impressed...👍🏼👍🏼

[@peteryoung2026]

Done loads of flush valves never thought to change washer. Fair play you learned me! Are they standard for most valves?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Nope they are fairly specific but I usually keep the common ones on the van or grab some over the counter at my local Plumbase...👍🏼👍🏼 £3 for a washer or £30 for a valve that isn’t needed

Dunno if this is a good tip or what but if you take the washer off the top of the standard macalpine trap you can file the sort of ‘tapered’ bit down to the size of the euro waste basket and the washer will still sit back in Thats my normal procedure anyway and havent had an issue, cba with running off to get waste adapters and shit

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Yer I know what you mean... and I have done it before now but wanted to show just how it is when we come across annoying things like this..

[@Whisgers]

I use those plastic adapters a lot on catering kitchen wastes, been to many that are leaking as the last engineer has cut a mc alpine spigot trap flush, thinking it will seal.....they don't.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Yep I usually have some in the van for just this bloody thing.... pain in the arse

[@tracer1127]

Why are uk suppliers supplying us with crap stuff that needs an adapter ? Really does try your patience at times. Taps sometimes come with odd ball flexis instead of half inch another bloody annoyance. Toilets rocking up with oval waste outlets ,cheap traps supplied with shower trays that jump the threads, why ? How about a bit of quality control. Best one is the old quality checked sticker, that means absolutely f all.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Completely agree 100% mate..... really boils my head at times... Maybe I should start outing them in my videos🤣

[@tracer1127]

@@MJTiffPlumbing A lot of the stuff we buy isn’t cheap and should be up to scratch. I think most people who are in the game have probably learnt the hard way and found products they have faith in. Trouble is when the customer is supplying stuff and trying to get a bargain. The amount of time you can spend trying to rectify some of this cheap tat is mind blowing. If you can’t solve problems and have no patience, stay away from plumbing because it can certainly try you out. Especially on a Friday.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

So true mate, i have refused to fit stuff that people have got off the internet etc before as I know it’s just a headache waiting to happen. Then when you say they need more bits to make it work they think YOUR trying to have them over.....

[@antoniogalluccio4213]

European traps do not have something entering in the waste. Same problems with waste brought from Italy. You need 1 or 2 adaptor or file down the edge of the trap. If they get continental waste they also need to buy continental trap

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

If you put a whole house filtration unit on your incoming mate….. the whole has is filtered. To NOT filter the toilets and outside tap you would have to completely repipe your house to those points…… why would you do that?…. Complete waste of time and huge amount of cost Having filtered water going to the toilet has zero effect…. Infact would be better to stop any limescale build up. Same with the outside tap…
