The fact you've worn down the teeth on a core drill shows how hard you work! And without breaking any teeth too!

Cracking work mate, being able to see where you want your pipework to run to make it neat is a skill in itself!

You've had your money's worth out of that core bit 😁 great content as always Tom.

[@PlumbLikeTom]

It will soon be a museum piece, I've had it a few years now and tapped out the teeth one or two times to get me moneys worth from it. Thanks for the support as always

You can get old core re tipped

[@elwittinio2865]

Nice install there matey 👏combination valve in the right place. See so many at low level 🤷.

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks mate, its one of my pet hates when you see the combination valve fitted close to the floor

[@dvdallison]

Another great vid, well done mate

Absolute class install as usual Tom. Fabulous

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks mate, I really appreciate that

[@Tom_Plumb_PHS]

Beautiful pipework. 👌👍Shame on honeywell though if it was my house I'd have to pay to pay you extra to fit a third silver one 🤣

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks mate, I don't know why honeywell provide white ones with the cylinders and but you can only buy silver ones from the merchants. If I'm honest the white ones are in theory safer as they have a plastic lid, the newer honeywell silver top ones do have an earth strap to the lid but surely it would be better to be non conductive material, thanks for watching as always

what a quality job mate! should be proud!

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks mate, I really appreciate the kind words and support of the channel 👍

[@blipp3521]

Hiya great video, very neat work. What did you end up doing with the top connection on the combination valve ( i think its the balanced cold @ 18:24 ) ?

[@PlumbLikeTom]

I just capped it off in the end, the connection is for the cold taps and showers so the hot and cold will be balanced, I didn't use it on this job because it would have meant needing to run extra pipework in and if I'm honest it didn't really need it on this one, thanks for watching

[@andrewnewsholme2564]

Great job Tom , keep vids coming 👍

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks so much for the continued support of the channel Andrew, it is really appreciated

[@mrboyban]

Tried to installed the heating system Megaflo. I've never done it before. It happens that I manage to connect the gas pipe to the cylinder. 🤣🤣🤣

[@PlumbLikeTom]

It easy done mate, I've done it once was I was rushing around and under massive amounts of pressure, I was lucky in the fact I tested the gas first and realised something was wrong, it's a mistake I will never make again, I don't think I've ever told the story to anyone but it could have ended very badly if I'd switched the water on first

[@freezefoot]

Your videos really make a difference. Great job as always.@12:05 "Messing with my OCD"- Fellow OCDs will fully understand! I have not seen the white Honeywell (class 2?) 2 port valves before, are they new? Looking forward to commissioning video ,hoping that you will show how setting up the sequence of gate valve, abv & rad valves.Thank you again and have a well earned Easter break.

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Honeywell seem to supply the white topped ones with these unvented cylinders that I fit. They have done this for at least a couple of years now and I have no idea why. Surely its more expensive to make the different coloured lids. I'm looking forward to getting the boiler commissioned, I just need to finish fitting the radiators in the house once its plastered then I'll be back on the job. Thanks for watching as always and have a good bank holiday mate

[@glynstorer3269]

Good job ❤

[@petebarby1315]

Hey tom on the balanced cold why don't you cap it with a 22mm brass blanking disc

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Hi Pete, I actually don't know, I have always just used a cap end but I guess a blanking disc would look better. Thanks for watching, it is appreciated

[@mickobyobrien2650]

Hi mate did you end up fitting a damper?Why would you need one is it for energy efficiency or to slow down the draught/pull. Just curious, always great videos from you pal.👍

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Hi mate, this model does need a flue damper, I believe Worcester use them to slow down the flue, I assume this improves efficiency slightly as all older models run fine without, I will try and find out for sure and update, thanks for watching 👍

[@bradhicks3773]

Good vid my guy!!! Big love!

cracking work. i hate insulation. what are you using to cut the insulation

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Hi mate, I use the pipe lagger pro for my insulation, thanks for watching

[@kevinisaac9139]

Just think of all that money you are earning Tom 👍

[@PlumbLikeTom]

I've got to rip this one out now, it got flooded before Christmas and it needs a new boiler as well as a new bathroom that I just put in, thanks for the support as always mate

[@paulhughes8724]

Nice job Tom very #Plumbproud

Thanks for watching mate

[@andymav3023]

Another excellent video Tom, can I just ask if you had more than one return is that essential for example if you have got two heating zones upstairs and downstairs or can you just run a single return for all of it ? Andy

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Hi Andy, the important bit is to keep the hot water return as last one back into the boiler. You may find if you just join the returns in randomly under a floor, in the summer when just the hot water is on, the water may creep up the heating return and warm up particularly the upstairs radiators via gravity circulation, hope this helps

[@davidkneale7455]

@@PlumbLikeTom reverse circulation! It's OK to tee the heating returns together though before the last tee for the cylinder.

[@julianhawker7672]

What year is your apprentice in mate? Seems like a handy lad who wants to do a tidy job. One of my pet hates when doing oil repairs is Kbb's and fuel lines through the same hole! just makes replacing failed F/Valve hard work.............

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Jacobs been with me 5 weeks, he's in his 3rd year at college but still needs to finish his level two onsite stuff, hopefully he chooses to stay and work with me once I get him through his qualifications. I hate to see fire valves through the same holes as fire valves, it makes life hard work for literally an extra to minutes to drill another hole, thanks for watching as always mate

Soldered joint looks are really are not the most important Fancy ones incorrectly soldered will leak
