    In todays video I swap out an old leaking unvented cylinder for a new one. I show you things to look out for and make sure everything complies with the G3 safety regulations
    As always, thanks so much for watching, all the support is so greatly appreciated

    To great video as always.
    It wasn't this one but a recent video of yours had all your tools in a collapsible bucket. Loved it when you compare to all the velocity and veto bags. 😂
    Just goes to show right. Its just a container to get them to a job.

    More good work, Tom. I've never really understood why marking the pipe makes any difference in relation to the warranty on a pressfit joint. Presumably, during an investigation they would cut the fitting in half or whatever and it would be clear then whether the pipe had been pushed in far enough before it was pressed.

    • @PlumbLikeTom
      @PlumbLikeTom  21 день назад

      I never really understood that either, like you say if the fitting was cut apart it would be clear if the pipe was in all the way, thanks for watching as always mate, have a great weekend 👍

    Great vid again. Was it on a bore hole? Had lots of issues on bore holes with cylinders and had to fit a pacivated cylinder to cope with the water.

    • @PlumbLikeTom
      @PlumbLikeTom  21 день назад +1

      This was just on normal mains, I think the tprv valve connection had been leaking and it had just rotted out. I don't think these cylinders are fully stainless as a magnet sticks inside so when you get a leak this can happen, have a great weekend mate 👍
