Still I don't get why they don't use some super low voltage wireless/wired switches at the bathtub and install the unit outside the shower booth. Dumb.
NO silicone around the shower ☝️ and please be careful with the jointing compound as it will block the filter in the electric shower 🤓 also isolation valve instead of the straight connector 😁
it's barely electrical. In the UK a DIY person can legally change an electric shower as long as its a simple swap and no changes are made to the circuit path.
Firstly I tighten those electrical connections a lot more than that , they will burn out , hope it’s a 7.5kw shower on a 6mm , not supposed to use that jointing compound on showers and not supposed to seal the around the shower ,
They’ll only arc in the terminal if they’re really loose. Testing the circuit will prove the connection, not torquing it to within an inch of its life. I for one think this is a fine bit of craft.
@@PHealey1981 don’t have to arc to burn it out , connection will get hot if not tight and burn it out and continue up the insulation of the conductors ,
When you seal around an electric shower it renders the warranty void, but I understand why you did it, also jointing compound is a no no, but fair play mate your work is good quality, nice to see another tradesman that cares about his work 👍🏻
As far as I know in case the pipe pops out of the fittings insurance company won't pay out. You should transition by means of a piece of copper pipe which can go into any fitting or by means of a compression fitting which is universal @tirvplumbing
@@mmplumbernice …good videos you have… love your tools you got like flux tool & stuff. Amount of showers I’ve seen set on fire nearly through lose connections the showers use quite a lot of current so get warmer and lose over time

Jesus the expert advice from non plumbers on here is amazing. Iso valve behind the shower? Awesome.
I know right 🤣
That defo would have set some people off!
I was wondering this Country on Eletric Rules it deserves be Studied.
water and electricity side by side 😅
talk about diversity
Danger
Love it, thought to my self, there will be a thumbs up at the end 👍 😂😂
Shower manufacturers do not recommend using jointing compound on there plastic connections 🤦♂️🤦♂️
that wasn't done
look at the video again, he put it on the olive.
Destroys the inside of the shower, especially if there’s an internal filter fitted it just eats them away
NO silicone around the shower ☝️ and please be careful with the jointing compound as it will block the filter in the electric shower 🤓 also isolation valve instead of the straight connector 😁
I was careful dude non in the pipe 🫡🫡
If the shower didn’t have such a big hole behind I wouldn’t seal
@@mmplumberwhat was there before, why such a big hole!
And how exactly are you going to turn off the iso valve buried in the wall , seriously
@@noelmacdermott3576 you take off the three screws and pull the shower off the wall. Exactly the way he put it in. 🙄
Clean!!!
What's the make of cleaning tool
Looks like you needed to caulk the cracks in the groat around box you wouldn't believe how water can get through them
could you have just put a corner elbow compression rather than using a straight connector? and whats youre favourite push fit pipe?
I don’t like using plastic pipe in compression
I don’t like compression on plastic pipes
Not to bad if you use a metal insert I’ve never had a problem anyways
Good job 👍🏽
@@callumaspinall2765 I just don’t like compression on plastic 🤣seen to many probs with it!
@@mmplumber the spigot part of the shower is still plastic.
That grey poly pipe is terrible ☠️ but you gotta do what the customer wants lol
Exactly mate!

Che bello la 250V nella doccia
What are the speed wrenches do you you use

Why is half the wall missing 😂
No idea mate I turned up and it was like this 🤣 hence why I sealed round it
Was that flux? You just put on that compression. Or am i just hallucinating
uses a flux dispenser for joint compound
Pipe dope
👌👌👌👌👌perfekt profi
Thanks mate!
Thanks mate 🤙
Never trust a plumber doing electrical

@@cj-rb8fz so you’re basically explaining the mechanics of a conductor arcing in a terminal if it’s not tightened to manufacturers specification.
Red on brown... black on blue...😅😅😅
You got it 🤣👍
Haha you know it
Hope that's an 8.5kw
Sure your not ment to seal electric showers
Your not really but looming at that scenario I would
It’s okay, left the under but didn’t want moisture to run into the big gap behind
You are correct!!! There is the issue condensation also, by not sealing around the unit, it can evaporate
When you seal around an electric shower it renders the warranty void, but I understand why you did it, also jointing compound is a no no, but fair play mate your work is good quality, nice to see another tradesman that cares about his work 👍🏻
To be fair I would have silicone it as well in that situation I wouldn't have put it out for the world to see though.
Hep 2 o fitting on polyplumb pype?
Inserts are pipe specific, fittings you can mix and match.
As far as I know in case the pipe pops out of the fittings insurance company won't pay out. You should transition by means of a piece of copper pipe which can go into any fitting or by means of a compression fitting which is universal @tirvplumbing
No silicone underneath the shower so it can drain…I assume he didn’t silicone this area. Also tighten the cables more I’d say…
Yeah non under mate 🤙🤙

Did they not go for the 14-20 k repipe to get rid of the poly B 😅 good job on the install
🤡 plumber again
Feel like for someone who seems top notch at plumbing to see bang average electrical work was a bit odd.
🤣🤣🤣 I’m a pipe fitter mate 🤣

Why are you doing awful electrical work then you whopper ??
