Awkward heating leak in corner of roof & other plumbing jobs

Day in the life of a plumber
In todays video I replace a section of rotted out iron pipe on a heating vent, replace a vented over sink hot water heater and repair a leak that I caused while fitting a new kitchen sink on a soil pipe boss
As always, thanks so much for all the support, please drop a like if you enjoyed the video

[@adydanner]

Thanks Tom understood

[@JSSHandP]

By far the most interesting plumbing channel on RUclips such a variety of jobs

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks for the support mate, I'm so pleased you find my videos interesting

[@dvdallison]

Haha. Your last video I watched went far to easy, this is more like your normal day we have come to expect!!!! Great content as always 👏👏👏

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks for the support as always mate, even this one is mild compared to what's coming on this Friday, I'm just editing it now

Tom you are the Best and most interesting plumber on you tube mate

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks mate, I really appreciate the support and kind comment 👍

How I love loft insulation especially the old stuff😂

[@PlumbLikeTom]

It's great, especially in the summer, thanks for the support as always mate

[@kevinlaking8073]

Great job mate. That last job I would have made false door over it just incase. Then easy to get at waste pipe in future if needed. Always watch your videos. Brilliant reminds me of me plumbing. Keep it up.

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks for the support as always Kevin, I should have probably done that, it was a job I had priced though and it's sometimes where do you stop. I had only allowed to fit a new sink and got unlucky with the boss leaking, I did ct1 one the boss in a wedge the pipe so hopefully it should be Ok.

[@peterdawson5115]

Verity of jobs Tom, Sod’s Law that waste pipe popping out of the boss, the joys 👍🚽

[@PlumbLikeTom]

I was kicking myself about that waste, I'd already packed the tools away as well which always makes it feel worse, thanks for watching as always Peter

[@24bellers20]

Good mix there. The loft job was a proper tight corner.👍👍👍👍👍

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks for the support as always mate, I was pleased to get out of the roof 👍

[@oliverdaley934]

So awesome you got that pipe to come out

[@PlumbLikeTom]

I think I got lucky there, most of the time you need heat to shift them, thanks for watching mate 👍

[@oliverdaley934]

@@PlumbLikeTom Thank you Tom for putting out the videos. I live in the highlands but used to run a building company in London. You just can't get plumbers were we live so its been amazing to watch your videos and learn how to do things. It actually helped me to do a new oil combi install. 👍 Not looking forward to the service though! keep up the good work, great content

[@Tom_Plumb_PHS]

I rate the Rothenberger tape measure. Rather than a lock it holds where it's pulled out to and you push the button to retract it. Great for a soldering prop. Interesting jobs as always. Btw I'm stealing make like a shepherd 😂

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks for the support as always Tom, I stole that saying from a youtube electrician called Tom Nagy, I used to really enjoy his videos but he only posts about once a year now

[@SteveHit1]

Great video Tom, with interesting mix. Thanks.
That attic job makes me itch just watching it - I must admit I hate lofts and fibreglass!

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks for the support as always Steve, I must admit roof spaces aren't my favourite places to work especially in the summer

[@paulf2529]

I must buy some of set stilstlons, those came in handy there.

[@PlumbLikeTom]

They are good Paul, I don't use them all the time but they are handy for some jobs, thanks for watching mate

Thanks for the support Mick, I thought I would try Sunday to see if it would attract a new audience, I lost subscribers though so I might go back to Monday's, thanks for watching 👍

Great work Tom, well done in such a tight space.

[@andyfadian]

Another nice selection of jobs Tom, that vent pipe looks bad. 👏👏

[@PlumbLikeTom]

I couldn't believe that vent, it had probably been weeping since it was put in, thanks for watching as always Andy 👍

Another great vid Tom, a nice variety of jobs

[@joeypriestman6783]

Those rubber bosses are nightmares, they shouldn’t ever be allowed to go into boxed in SVP’s.

[@PlumbLikeTom]

I agree, they should be glued everytime, thanks for watching mate

[@chrisholt2474]

Hi Tom, a nice mixture of jobs in this film thank you.
Good to see the press tool in action again, that loft space appeared very tight to work in.
All jobs completed and looking good, have a great week and take care mate. 👍👍👍

Thanks for the support as always Chris, it wasn't the nicest roof space to work in, have a great week 👍

Thanks for the support as always Pb, it's great for roof work, I don't think I will use it on boiler swaps yet but it's nice to have the option

[@adydanner]

Tom can i ask about the brass male iron into the steel fitting. Are there any issue with dissimilar metals with the pipe elbow being steel and the male iron being brass? Great videos thanks for sharing tour knowledge.

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Ideally you should keep the materials the same but the brass does act as a dielectric anode to help prevent corrosion between the copper and the steel, thanks for watching mate 👍

[@TobyMartin-t3l]

I love all you videos

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks mate, I really apprecaite that

[@darrenmackenzie1892]

45 to 45 to prevent any sludge laying in the horizontal pipe?

[@PlumbLikeTom]

I could have done, it will take a while for that vent to get that bad again, by then the boilers will likely have been replaced and the system pressurised, thanks for the support as always

[@LittleNinjah]

I just stood on my brand new Sealey TM, split it, gutted.

[@TobyMartin-t3l]

Hi my heating system has never had a flush but wen I replace a radiator the water looked clean do you think I should flush it?

[@PlumbLikeTom]

If everything is working OK I would probably leave it, I would be more inclined to spend the money on fitting a filter on the boiler return if you don't already have one, thanks for watching mate

[@riptiz]

Who the hell would do it in steel pipe?

[@PlumbLikeTom]

It would have been the original pipework, it was in a commercial building so it was quite common, thanks for the support as always Dave 👍
