How to fix Henry’s nose (if I remember correctly).
1. Unscrew the nose bit of Henry. There are 2 parts to this. The inside ring can be pushed the way the dirt travels and the outer ring away from Henry.
2. Once separated remove the old hose from the inside ring (it will be “screwed” into it, use pliers to pull it out and it will unwind).
3. Put the outer ring over the pipe like a boot on RJ45/8p8c.
4. Screw what’s left of the pipe in the inner ring all the way until the pipe starts collapsing.
5. Push the outer ring over the inner ring until its clips into place.
6. Screw the whole assembly back together.
7. Use henry until there little or no pipe left then buy a new one off eBay.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the content
So glad someone put this! Poor Henry was getting told off for a problem that wasn't his fault. He's better than that.
L/H thread on Henry. Its a monthly occurence fixing my neighbours. She must twist the hose around whilst hoovering which unscrews it.
Lil tip when drilling indoors , tape a big envelope to the wall to catch the dust , don't use duck tape only masking tape , otherwise you will pull the paint off 👍👍👍
What about removing one of the tails at the consumer unit and use that to pull your fishing cable through , and then pull it back again 👍
It really helps having skinny arms, my nickname at work is the kingfisher because I can pretty much fish cables anywhere with my noodle arms. Thing is, you spend all this time making sure the cable is hidden and damage to the property is kept to a minimum, and all the customer sees is a box on the wall at the end of the day. Unless you're an electrician (or you see a video like this), you won't appreciate it. Glad to see others making the effort. Good job lads.
Doesn’t matter how experienced you are. Cable fishing is always a nightmare. Good work artisans!
with henerys you can un clip the screw part of the hose to put them back together
The busbar thing is such an annoyance! People who cut them should get a punch in the nada for it! Ive got a spare Hager, Fusebox, MK & Wylex one’s on my board for that precise reason as you don’t know you need it until you need it! Great vid 👍🏻
It’s great to see you back on the tools Jordan. All we need now is all 5 of you together….. now that would be an EPIC vlog.
Top tip someone gave me a couple of years ago…. Use a length of welding wire instead of a coat hanger. It’s the perfect balance of being thin & flexible but still stiff enough to thread cable where it doesn’t want to go 👍🏻
I've got the same piece of stainless steel TIG wire in my toolbox that I've been using since before cable rods were invented.
I wouldn’t want to go sticking metal wires anywhere near consumer units!! I use the lids off small plastic trunking works a treat and safe to go fishing around where there might be live wires! Imagine if your handy metal wire goes into say a hidden junction box with those brass posts inside which could well be live!!! Eeek!
@@PaulsRoadshow I don’t work on household electrics, just auto.
@@alpinestarsf9 in that case it would be more dangerous if you short a live conductor your more likely to start a fire! As your metal wire would get hot very quickly! I would strongly recommend you use a non conducive wire or plastic stick of some sort? Plastic knitted needles work well :-)
@@PaulsRoadshow how am I going to short a wire when the battery is isolated before I start work? I strip vans out and convert them into Motorhomes.
I’ve been doing this for many years, but thanks for your concern captain danger. ☺️👍🏻
I vote for Max to have some camera time and behind the scenes footage too! 😁👍
Won’t be long I’m sure! 😎
I highly recommend one of those cheap USB endoscope cameras off Amazon/eBay. You can tape them to rods, and they are only 8mm in diameter so you can use them to check size walls. The wireless cameras are too bulky.
Love how you guys always take the time to make it look so clean!
I was going to suggest this - I bought one for my electrician as a thank you present for the work he did as he ended up using mine on the job. He uses it all the time now!
But I already saw them using one of that kind.
They are so cheap I have one stuck in a wall cavity - other cavities in this and our previous house have more than one sections of access rods in them ;-)
The Henry hose threads into the bit you said snapped off
Old ways best ,fenching wire comes in handy (same size roughly as a coat hanger )bend hooks on on 2 lengths,insert and twist as you go you will hear and feel when you hit the other one twist again pull and the 2 hooks will link .never failed me in nearly 50 yrs.
Jordan, Your face when you were trying to feed that through.... comedy genius lol.I hate having them jobs
Haha thanks
With the Henry vacuum the pipe is threaded and it can be rethreaded into the connector that screws onto the cleaner.
'they dont really use this anyway' as he points towards the PIR sensor, whilst his other hand is on the shotgun cabinet ..........
By the looks of the stickers bit more than a shotgun in there. DVC
Your perseverance paid off ~ well done guys ~ it’s all about teamwork.
vac hose screws into fitting that screws onto vac ,bit inside that has broken off has to be removed to re screw hose back in, looking at your watch when there is a large clock on the wall behind you
Hi guys. I'm not an electrician but really like your channel. One thing I follow with interest is the EV/ solar panel route as I'm considering these in the future. One thing I would say is don't waste your time putting one of those stickers on your van saying ' no tools are left in the van overnight ' keep up with the good work 👍
Don't be dissing the coat hanger.😂😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing the information !!
Great display of persevering, goes to show neatest way isn't always the easiest way 👌🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
I Have a question for u ? why have u fitted a adaptable box in the meter box to terminate the car charger cables when the space in the meter box is for DNO and suppliers equipment only
Fantastic!! there's more to EV's than we are led to believe. Thanks guys.
Well done guy's, a good day's graft, neat installations too. Cheers, Alex.
Yet another great video! it’s great to see the process 💪👊
Great work guys and Enjoyed watching⚡️👊
Excellent, this channel is fast becoming a firm favourite of mine. Thank you 👍👍👍
You probably should have taken Reuben along - small hands are so useful.
Another top tip ,when you’re on a job with a plumber next time confiscate a length of the 10 mm speedfix plastic pipe…. it’s rigid , but pliable enough to bend to any shape, works a dream in any situation I’ve not had to use any of my other fishing gear,You can stick a drawer line down the middle and if it gets stuck you can just cut it off and get another piece
thumb up all round Jordan and Lee two good jobs don in a long day
Great videos as always guys keep up the good work 👍
I always said an Electrician would make a great Gynaecologist - we are so used to fishing our pinkies in little holes! :)
Content top notch as always. Glad you are back on the tools for a while too Jordan enjoy your humour.
Well done Jordan and Lee were really happy for you to get the second job done.
Great video guys! Great watch! Just a w thoight, maybe use one of the tails and pull it through whilst being tied onto it and back again? Love the content ! Happy new year
Amazing to see how many subscribers you have now. I was watching in 2020 when you were starting out. Well done.
Two good jobs, and good to see you overcome all the issues and potential problems that you came across, maybe you should carry a wire coat hanger?? :) old tricks of the trade are normally the best. love the space grey design too. keep up the good work :)
Thanks
Great video guys 😎
Jordan’s like the excited dad showing his son around his new car 😀
We've all been there but the sense of achievement when you finally get it through it is without equal :)
I know the pain of trying to fish through a wall. Similar result on your hands! In the end I bought a steerable borescope - at least that way you can see what is going on behind the walls etc and kind of steer your way through. Expensive but it does reduce the frustration!
Glad it’s not just me who looks for their glasses in their head!! You crack me up Jordan 👌🏽👍🏽
Great video and great graft Jordan and Lee
Jordan nice to see you back out in the field. Great job guys.
Does this mean Cory has left?? Haven’t seen him in awhile.
@@davidjones6779 most likely on Holiday again!! Lol
Thanks 👍
I feel your pain! Great video.👍👍👍
I feel your pain. You need 2 very patient helpers on hand for situations like that so you can make better use of your time.
The Hypervolt looks great in grey, will be interesting to see what colour becomes the most popular 👍
You need the Superod flexi magnet 👌🏻I did the same with my chain broke it should have tied on the other end so you weren’t pulling the chain with the weight back down.
Jordan, the unscrew the black cap on the hoover. Get the hose and screw the hose back into the cap, then screw it back into the Hoover.
great video !
Great work
Nice Brattonsound gun safe under the consumer unit....😄
Can you show connecting the cat5 to the CT wires, always interested to see how you do it but don't think you've shown it to date.
Top job, even a blood sacrifice from Jordan 😂🤣 keep up the good work
Nothing like the old metal coat hangers and a piece 16x10 trunking lid for fishing up and down a cavity. did a joke delivery and unboxing on my youtube channel. Once fished from a kitchen cupboard to the loft just to hide wires for an alarm system.
For the Henry screw the plastic ring onto the hose first then screw the ring to the hoover...job done...poor design by Henry though
Dave….Dave…. There on your head ⚠️. A sign of a good engineer 😂⭐️👍
Very informative videos guys. Always enjoy watching.
One question I would like to know though... If feeding an EV charger with built in pen fault detection or feeding a pen fault consumer unit, (like in this video) does the MCB feeding either devices need to be separate from the Rcd on the household consumer unit?
The henry hover pipe screws back in the threaded entry
Congratulations from Brasil .....
It makes it harder for you but lovely to see a company that goes the extra mile to try and hide as much cable as possible.
Jordan u jinxed it on the second install
🤫 dnt say anything till the jobs done
A big hi hi. To the camera person great 👍 job
it looks so cold 'Im glad i'm here in Thailand
You're not alone in the glasses hunt, I've been known to look and had it pointed out there's three pairs on my head, I'm old,thats my excuse 🤣👍
you just need to clip the tube back in on the henry, cant remember the exact methood but its pretty simple
The red fishing rod is too pre-curved so you will never get it to go where you want. Here is my tip. Simply use a length of net curtain cable / wire complete with the open ended hooks screwed in. This will then go where you want it as it remains stiff, non curved and the rounded end of the open hook will slide over and around obstacles. Once through, you can then secure the cable to the hooked end and pull it back through. Go get yourself some old fashioned granny net curtain cable.
Good you persevered and got it done in the end without falling back on extra cable. Where’s Reuben and his dad gone?
How come you didn’t clip the cable low level leading up to the charger? Would it not look abit more discreet?
That cable pull should be one of the tasks on The Cube 😂
I feel your pain on the that one
Level 8! haha!
That cable fish, owch! New builds look nice and tidy, but considerations for later maintenance are frustrating - like using sheets for flooring, rather than boards as an example.
Could you remove the ball and chain section before sending the pull wire back? I'm not sure how those work.
Hi, what is the type of cable you guys use that includes the electrical wire + CAT5 data wires? Can you specify a brand or reference? Thanks
In Germany, smoke alarms with connection to the distribution board are quite unusual at private properties. Do they still have batteries in them or why should they beep (28:44)? If yes, wouldn't they keep beeping until the battery is completely flat, even without AC?
Yes, a New video
Those red snakes don’t work well when they’re coiled up, store them in the conduit on the van to keep them straight
Nice work boys, Jordon loved your facial expressions lol👍
Hi Jordan,,
I'm just a little curious as to the trousers you all wear with the tool pockets.
Are nthe tool pockets sewn onto the trousers or are they on a seperate belt?
Nice video, keep it up guys.
tell me about the tool you used, make, model etc for the heat shrink. please,
Great video 👍🏻 What brand are the boot covers you use?
Good team
I had the same problem with my 'henry' had to but a new hose.........
Yeah think I will have to do the same
not sure I think the Henry hose is a left hand thread to screw it back onto the fitting
Amazing team work job!!🙄🚙
Wow just noticed you’ve smashed through 112K subs in short order 👏
If you can “see” where you are fishing for a cable route it can make life so much easier.
God that looked so frustrating I felt your pain 👍
Collapsible flexible tent rods be of use when fishing 🤔 could fix a small hook / eyelet to end cap of the rod then attach draw wire when it comes through. I can picture it - but maybe it’s just me - anyway Just a thought
EBay search - Foldable Tent/Awning Fibreglass Poles Rod. Can get lengths upto 4m in 0.5m sections approx - I’d prob get another one to modify into 250mm sections for tighter areas
Love the videos
Thanks!
I remember commenting on a previous video Hypervolt video "Death Trap Consumer Unit" should include an install template since you raised that as criticism of the install process previously. Is that another improvement?
25:45 it should't happen to a sparky James herriot would be proud
That's what crossed my mind when Jordans arm was stuck in the wall
The wire armoured cable installed after the Open PEN protection device could defeat the open PEN protection.
If the SWA cable sheath is damaged or bonded, the downstream parallel earthing path (the armour) will defeat the open PEN protection.
IET CoP Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation 4th Edition. (Pg. 72)
A solution could be installing XLPE cable (tuff sheath cable) or NYY-J cable.
lee is professional but where is cory i like watchin him
Funny, I'm enjoying Lee more these days 😄
Jordan m8 you have blown 2hour install projection off chart. Lol
Seriously I always use yt1 lid so easy to use must try
Great video 👍🏼
What does the DNO say about using the meter cupboards I thought it was a no go ? Anybody ?
Are you guys using the 4mm 3 core ny ultra EV cable for this job or 6 mm? Lovely job as usual, definitely earned a beer or 2.
Great job guys,earnt a beer there Lee.
Nice work chaps! As you said where's Reuben ? lol.
Keep an eye out for the next video!
I used linian clips and the damn paint flakes off when hit with a hammer, do you have this issue? Maybe I’ve got fakes😨
Aren’t those hoses on the henry just threaded but the opposite way to normal
For those who just like watching and don’t have a background in the trade, could you explain some of the acronyms you use? Once or twice should suffice.
Each time I see that you are putting in new cable rather than using existing cable. Is it possible to use existing cable if it is in the garage?
Do you not put the cable in plastic when outside to give it extra protection from the elements?
It's armoured cable specially rated for outdoor use. They can't use existing cable for a new charger.
I think the outside cable is SWA - Steel wire armoured Cable - it is designed to be used outside and does not require further protection. Your first Q, not exactly sure what you mean.
My daughter has an electric cable into the garage. It’s just a standard outlet. Can it be converted for car charger use? Garage is at far back of property, panel is right at at the front of the house. She is thinking of going electric when but wants to be sure she can charge at home.
@@martynridley513 disclaimer: Not an electrician. You may be able to remove the socket and insert a junction box in its place. However socket circuits are usually 2.5mm cable and I'm not sure if this would be sufficient for a car charger. Most cars come with what's colloquially known as a "granny cable" which is a standard 3 pin UK plug. This charges more slowly than a dedicated car charger but is an option if you can't get a dedicated charger installed. It's best to have an electrician come and look at your particular setup and advise you what is safest.
Where is Corey?? Has he left ? 😭😭😭
