My God…..I now know why I had water leaks in my 12 year old kitchen. Just had it replaced, and this sort of stuff was used throughout. Pleased I paid extra for proper plumbing with copper, it looked like a work of art!
I would never let this boy do my plumbing.
Hmmm some basic errors here...no conduit on pipes in wall,unessesary strain on T joints when fitted correctly,isolation valves on sink should be turned outwards as so when pedestal is fitted you can turn them on or off.After a while the T joints will leak & customer/plumber will have a hard job getting to them isolation valves behind pedestal to turn off.Oh & basic rule of any plumbing is tape up pipes before running under floorboards or drilling above them.
Love how quick these fittings are
W ell done mate, you certainly know your stuff. Brill’.👍
Little tip here Home DIYers,
Never nail in the centre of a floorboard, that's where plumbers and electricians run their services, So if you want to avoid flooding the house or the power going off always nail at the edges of floorboards.
When pushing any pipe under floorboards put tape over the end, the last thing you need is crud getting into your nice new system causing problems. ( all builders muck gets swept under floor).
power flush pipes after ?
@@caljam3599 Its usual to flush out new work after installation, power flushing is more for older (c/h systems), however I have removed debris like small pebbles/brick from pipes, which would never flush out even under high pressure. Hence protect the pipe end before pushing under floors.
Not just for crud either, any scoring or damage to the pipe exterior is the biggest cause of leaks on push fit piping systems.

Decent enough job. Just wondering or perhaps I have missed somthing in the video.
Where is the inflow connection for the water. As I understand it shows from shower to sink and via t connection to the toilet. I must have missed somthing
I'm a sparks, so please correct me if I'm wrong but won't that many 90 degree bends start to reduce the flow? Also, I didn't see him lock the push fit's tight? The hole he done for the hot sink pipe, why did he go above the cold if the hole was lower than the cold? Also the holes could have been a bit lower down on the joist, to prevent future screws going through the pipes? He's not once covered the end of the plastic pipes, so could pick up crap that will be in the system!
I am a sparks, we must measure the joist to drill holes in it. P.umbers don't need to ?
some of the push fit connections don't have to be locked by turning them
Hi. I watched this your video, but I didn't understand one thing. You run all the pipes under the floor, then connect them to copper and raise them above the floor. I thought that the connection of copper pipes was to be hidden in the wall, but you didn’t do that, but left it against the wall. It seems to me that it would be much better and more beautiful if they were not visible and were hidden in the walls.
thank you, just what i wanted to see :)
I take it a bedroom is being converted to a bathroom, with wallpaper and a double socket at skirting level!
Nick Coote his toilet uses a jet and heated dryer so requires power. It also plays God save the queen when after taking a number 2
Ale Pan pojechał po bandzie, jeżeli tak się rurki podłącza bez jakiegokolwiek klipsu przy łączeniu. A tutaj wszystko sobie ładnie dynda pod deskami. Po roku czasu mamy powódź gwarantowaną 😁. Jakby co to lepiej wcięcie zrobić w belce a niżeli wiercić przez belkę, bardziej jest osłabiona. Pozdro.
pojechaem grubo bo sie spiesxzylem przed gwiazdka. Ale po roku nic nie cieknie i raczej nie bedzie. Pozdro
Hi could you please show how to install toilet sink and shower waste pipe fitting aswell.i will be waiting.thanks
Dlaczego uzyl pan miedzianych rurek ?, czy nie mozna by bylo podlaczyc plastikowych do konca ?. Dodatkowo mozna uzyc tez plastikowego „valve” zapomnialem slowa.
More Joints than at Woodstock .............. !!
Hi pls how can i get the pipe and the fittings to buy
My main concern with using plastic is the inserts reduce the inside bore diameter of the pipe plus o'ring degredation. I know they come with a 25yr guarantee but that's not long in terms of a house. I'm rerouting copper pipe with solder joints at the moment that's been in 52 years and no sign of any issues. Also when it does start to leak in 25 yr one month can this plastic be recycled as well as copper / brass?
Hep2 warranty is 50 years.
@@derekcoleman8985 Thanks for the info 👍
Amazing Comments:
Brave gent, very constructive criticism and comments alike, thank you. Stay safe & Avoid flodding
Great video your a pro. Please come and help me install central heating run in loft ☺
Yes it should, I put isolation taps on the sink and toilet. It is easier to do repairs on them
How long is the copper pipes
cowboy plumbers in england can learn from this man, real pro at work and easy to follow video too:).....fkin cowboys:(

God almighty who employs these immigrant half wits they have no clue this video is riddled with mistakes. No truly British person would entertain such shoddy workmanship in there property I DO NOT have foreign workman in my properties always time served British workman who are without doubt the best there is.
@@ssnazi2025 😮
Am in Ghana and i don't no how you can help me to buy the pipes and the fittings pls help me with your contact
In a bathroom it's a BASIN. Sinks go in kitchens and utility rooms.
👌
Shouldn’t use plastic pipe fittings in the wall for a shower. I hope those sockets and wiring are removed before the bathroom goes in! Should always mark the pipe before pushing in a fitting, to be 100% it’s all the way in.
More joints that the local dealer
😆
Sorry some sloppy work going on here and cant agree with some of the comments about the quality. I am a DIY'er and have used Heo2O extensively, you have to be a bit useless to get it wrong with this stuff it is so easy to use. However, he is making some really silly basic errors, he has drilled two holes in the joist for the pipes then the pipe that needs to go over is adjacent pipe is placed in the lower hole thereby putting unnecessary strain on the lower pipe and connections? Pipes in wall should always be in conduit and not in contact with plaster/ cement etc. Sorry but too many basic errors here maybe too keen to get the job done as quickly as possible?
Mark I'll ask you haha. I'm planning on 're doing all my bathroom. Should I put maintenance valves on every set? Ie one on the sink shower and toilet?
I watched the video in hopes of him showing me how to use the same water lines for both shower & sink. He didn't explain much and i don't understand why he used the cooper lines. Do you know? Your response is appreciated. Thank you.
@@sandrafierstein6594 the copper pipes will be on show and he probably charged for running copper pipes
HeP²o vs JG twist turn push fits
Which one do you think is better?
I've used both and they seem to perform similarly. Never had any issues with either but as others have said, you need to protect the pipe from damage when laying in. Any scratches, scoring or other damage leads to a poor seal at the fitting and is the biggest cause of leaks. I do generally prefer the Hep20 because the metal inserts support the pipe better on those occasions when you need to fit a compression fitting.
@@dmartin1650 thanks david. 👌👍
Always a pleasure watching a tradesman, nice job my friend.
Why not just bend the pipe instead of using the 90 degree bends?
Its good practice to use fittings instead of just bending/ putting strain on the pipe which could fail or leak in time. However, the bend in question was relatively small, therefore it could have been easily bend without issues - or to be extra perfect, a 45 degree fitting should have been used instead of an elbow.
@@howtocellvideos More fittings = more chances of leaks. I'd rather have long runs of copper pipe bent with gentle curves and less connections.
Layout of the Ts and holes in the joists to supply the sink. WTF? 🙄
An electrical socket in a bathroom?
in a bedroom that will be converted into a bathroom
OK
Shouldn't the shower have isolation valves?
Darius Dalrymple yes. It should
Feel sorry for these people when the ceiling comes down
Sloppy work. I learned more from the comments section
Some put the grounding system, why?
Are plastic pipes good for hot water?
Plastic pipes are perfectly good for both hot and cold water at domestic temperatures and pressures. You can even use them for Central Heating as well as basins, baths, showers etc.
@@dmartin1650 thank you
Will it not melt
so, the shower, sink and toilet taking water from the same pipe. hmmm, I would not want someone flushing the toilet if I was in the shower.
hope this is pressurised system or the flows will be shit
The copper pipe up the toilet is not necessary. I will maintain plastic barrier pipe all through
WHATS WRONG WITH THE PLASTIC INSERTS ?
sorry not wright plumbing at all you can avoid to many fitting and to put tape the end of the pipe when you push it and the tees to be not over each other not close
Why are you using copper rather than plastic for the above board pipes?
so it looks like he's done an expensive job and run copper everywhere
spookdad plastic degrades when exposed to sunlight its the heat and UV rays.
@@MrWolff__ has he not put a roof on the bathroom?
spookdad uv passing through windows. Its regulations
@@MrWolff__ my bathroom windows are frosted and will stop most UV light ;)
joist is now busted. that's a way too deep notch on it
'' SHOCKING ''
Cowboy, look at size of notch he’s taken out of that joist 🤦🏻♂️
dug1001 I was thinking exactly the same thing! Should be no where near as large as that
I have to agree, it's far too big.
Rule of thumb, if you're drilling joists, holes must be at least 2 in. from the top and bottom edges of a joist.
and maximum hole size is one-third of the joist depth.
If you're notching joists, maximum depth of a notch at the end of a joist (where it rests on a wall or beam) can’t exceed one-quarter of the joist depth.
Maximum notch depth in the outer third of a joist is one-sixth of the joist depth, the length of the notch shouldn't exceed one-third of the joist depth.
Don't notch in the middle third of a joist.
One of the benefits of plastic pipework is that you can bend it around obstacle but still maintain the integrity of the pipe. The weakest section and something that WILL leak over time is the join. Best practice is to place plastic joins in accessible places such as under shower trays/maintenance hatches NOT under floorboards. I just cannot agree that the planning of the installation was anything but poor. DIY'ers - by all means use plastic piping but use it to its advantage and minimise the amount of joins and cuts. Copper piping and solder will last for 50 years without leaking... If you are making a join under floorboards, then use copper and solder.
Rough as f**k......Copper any day.....may take longer but far better......I'd have got the sack for leaving a job like that
he'll get the sack when mice chew through those plastic pipes under the floorboards.
Just could not have any confidence in the plastic joints. Just 1 small mistake and a flooded house. I couldn't sleep at night after such an installation.
Copper pipe for me
Bodger
I think they're referring to the complete lack of care. Not using a spirit level when bringing up the basin pipes. Measuring the outside of where they run, then using that line to secure the clips. Not lining up the fittings. Just really rushed and amateurish.
Copper pipe for me with wager
No grips lol
WTF
YOUNG MAN ,
YOUR PLUMB WANT NEVER WORK , U PUT : WHITE PIPE OVER ANOTHER PIPE WITH 2 T NEVER WORK TO MUST WATER PRESS , AND NEVER PUT 90 L FITTING " U NEED : ELBOW SUPPORT IN PLACE L FITTING ! .
COWBOYS
He is a caveman. Lol
Defiantly not qualified person
He's not being defiant, he seems quite reasonable.
Agreed. Definitely not a qualified person. Way too many basic errors
Poly pipes are Not guaranteed to last. 10 yrs max ( also banned in certain states in US.
Stay with Copper. 30 years guaranteed.
There is a 25 year guarantee on plastic pipes and fittings now
@@charles99958 really . I wouldn't touch plastic /polybutylene.
dirty girl the way the quality of copper has declined I'd stick to plastic mate...
@@Jackjack530 I suppose your Right. Thanks Andy ✌
@@stevendouglas3860 cool. Cheers. Bye.
Loads of mistakes here.... don’t follow his way of working ...
Good luck trying to get to that isolation valve when the toilet's in situ🙄
