Yeah I definitely giving it a go pal, I also have a idea on a canal barge full renovation as off work bipolar 😂 single dad to 15 year old doing his apprenticeship soon. Having fun watching your videos pal
Yes, condensate attacks the PVC and makes it leak/split/snap. Remember that its a acid ........ Should we be using the high grade polypropylene plastic waste (Vulcathene) that is used in school labs etc, that handles acids etc. I've noticed the same as you, lots more problems with pvc con drains the last few years, as much of it has reached a "certain age". Comments people?
Just to let you know, throw overflow in the pipe bender with the guide the same as copper, bend it and hold it for a few seconds, trust me im not trolling it actually works, got me out of a sticky one a few times
Great video as always! Had a fill on a toilet doing the same thing today, so bad i could feel the vibrations below my feet, a good tip but, we've all had enough of going to the van 😂
Dan, thanks for another terrific video, with a great horror story from CPUS! I wonder if the ABS pipe is slowly degrading from the acidic condensate? Possibly some ABS is more resistant than others.
Thank you so much for the kind gesture mate! Means a lot. And I think you’re right there bud, be interesting to see what the manufacturer says about it!
Haha cheers mate. Yeh I do sometimes bend the condensate. Funnily enough it’s actually in Thursdays video. No idea why I didn’t think about doing it on this job though 🤦🏽♂️😂
Got the tip for fitting the mono block taps by threading the plate and rubber washer through the sink hole from Mark (M J Tiff). Never knew it and only been fitting taps for 58 years. 🙈🙈😂
The man literally in almost every video goes “ For those who don’t know , my name is DAN “ Only to be hit with a BEN 🤦🏻♂️ 😂😂 Another awesome and quick video bruh. Also the 4K sub is so closeeeee

Good stuff matey. Very cruddy TRVs. Had the same sound in my own home couple of years ago. To add to that mystery it was doing it when all taps off. One basin tap letting by with a barely noticeable drip. Nice guy CP. Like yourself never afraid to show the mishaps. Keeping it real. 👍👍.
You’re very welcome it’s a great way to waste 10 or so minutes of my time, think I’ve only another 5 or so videos to watch then I’ve watched them all, doesn’t that mean I’m a plumber? 😂 😜 “edit” I’ve watched them all except the over an hour long one
@@Heatking yes iam sure of it and it sticks motorised valves had one today put your spanner on it moveded it twice and it was free as a bird. How are you finding work at the moment it seams to be quite for me at the moment got a boiler todo next week
Thank you for your continued support! We are so close to 4,000 subscribers, please help me hit it tonight 🎉 and like the video ❤
Very close indeed. Almost there. If only all viewers would subscribe 🤔
@@CommercialGasEngineerVideos haha thank you brother! Did you put the kettle on? 70% of my viewers don’t subscribe:(
Congrats

@@Westys-Life cheers pal. And good luck with the canal barge!
Systems needs cleaning.
Amazing video as usual, can you please let me know what pipe cutter are you using when cutting overflow pipe .
Thank you
Hi mate, thanks for the kind comment, it’s a rothenberger rocut 26TC
Is that because there wasn’t enough inhibitor in the central heating system?
The rusty valves? No inhibitor levels are good, I’d tested them the week prior on the boiler service.
Another great one Dan, I've seen a few condense pipes leak, I've always wondered what causes it as well
Cheers mate! The plastics probably not fit for purpose 😂

Comments people?
Be interested to see what everyone’s opinion is. But overflow pvc clearly isn’t cut out for the acidic water.
Just to let you know, throw overflow in the pipe bender with the guide the same as copper, bend it and hold it for a few seconds, trust me im not trolling it actually works, got me out of a sticky one a few times
Cheers mate, yeh I’ve done this a few times. Actually features in tomorrow’s video.No idea why I didn’t think of doing it here haha!
Great video as always! Had a fill on a toilet doing the same thing today, so bad i could feel the vibrations below my feet, a good tip but, we've all had enough of going to the van 😂
@@joshplayspoor2908 haha thanks Josh, appreciate it mate. To be fair it’s normally the toilet at fault most of the time! 🙏🏽
Thanks
Thanks Steve! You don’t need to though 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Poor quality plastic pipe cannot handle the acid attack from the condensate. Material science 101. I believe CPVC is more resilient to acid attack.
Everyone knows it’s used for condensate connections so should be made from a suitable plastic.
@@Heatking It’s a general purpose pipe,condense is a special application.
@@normanboyes4983 yeh but my point is we all use this haha
Haha awesome mate 🙌🏾 nice mix of jobs you had there 👌🏾
Thank you mate, and thanks for
The video! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Yet another great video pal thinking of going into plumbing training and college 👍 your friendly asda delivery driver Steve lol
Thank you mate! And you should do it mate, at least give it a shot!
What’s the going rate for a trv change?
For me just first hours labour £70 + materials
Cheers, just trying to put pricing together
Thanks
@@jamiedeanroberts-qq8ec I’m going to do a video on this soon too mate as you’re not the first person to ask haha.

Hey Ben. 😂.. little tip for ya. Get the pipe benders out and Bend the condense pipe with a 22mm.. for a slight kink..
Haha cheers mate. Yeh I do sometimes bend the condensate. Funnily enough it’s actually in Thursdays video. No idea why I didn’t think about doing it on this job though 🤦🏽♂️😂
@@Heatking I thought you would have known about that. Crazy situation with the valves that are rusting..
@@macpatel7810 some times just can’t see the wood for the trees mate. Yeh maybe it was cheap valves, who knows. Everything feels cheap these days!
Agree with you there about everything feeling cheap these days. So many things don't seem to be fit for purpose. Let alone built to last.
@@macpatel7810 I only install cheap stuff now to
Be honest, purely because even
The more expensive brands seem to only last the same amount of time.
Got the tip for fitting the mono block taps by threading the plate and rubber washer through the sink hole from Mark (M J Tiff). Never knew it and only been fitting taps for 58 years. 🙈🙈😂
Haha yeh I’ve seen Mark do it in videos, I’m not sure where it originally came from, I’d love to say it was me.. but it wasn’t haha.
Acid attacking pipework is my guess. Be interesting to know if abs or cpvc is any better.
Yeh I’d be interested to know what’s the best going forward 🙏🏽
The man literally in almost every video goes “ For those who don’t know , my name is DAN “
Only to be hit with a BEN 🤦🏻♂️ 😂😂
Another awesome and quick video bruh. Also the 4K sub is so closeeeee
😂😂😂 changing the name to Ben 😂😂😂 and thank you for the support mate. It’s been close now (less than 100) for about 2 weeks :(
Top video Ben! 😂
Haha thank you very much 😂😂😂😂
Must make it more interesting for ya Dan to have lots of variety in the day 👍🏼
These are my type of day to be honest mate. It’s just getting enough of the little jobs in to have these type of
Days daily haha.

Some good work there Ben/Dan 🤣
Haha cheers my mate 🙏🏽

Thank you mate! Yeh it’s a good one to find the tap dripping lol. And yeh CP is a great guy! 🙏🏽
Excellent video Dan, good job on changing the trv’s. 😊
Cheers Trev! I do love a trv change easy money 🙏🏽
When I solder bullet reducers I feed the solder on the inside , pings round nice and tidy .. 👍
You know what, I’ve always wondering if this would work! Thank you mate!!
Another great video Ben, I mean Ed, I mean Jim, I mean Stacey (that’s not my name) 😂. Keep up the good work Dan great the outros back!
Haha thank you mate. 🙏🏽 I need more of these outros 😩😂 but they do make a great feature. Cheers for the support mate

Another banger from Ben👍🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂 thank you very much buddy 🙏🏽🙏🏽
What do you charge for changing a trv pal??
£70 + the valve and materials. This one was £110 2 valves same house 🙏🏽
@@Heatking maintenance jobs are the way to go……. If only we could fill our diary all day and all week with them. Great content pal 👍
great upload Ben
😂😂😂 cheers Mate! 🙏🏽
I get called Dan, all the time! Nice to hear it goes both ways haha
😂😂😂 but what’s your name? Is it Ben? 😂😂😂😂
@@Heatking bingo!
@@ThatGasGuy 😂😂 that’s brilliant
Another interesting video Dan.
Thank you as always Paul! 🙏🏽
@@Heatking 😃 ❤️
First
🙏🏽
I think it inhibitor that does it to the rad valves Dan
Do you think? Suppose it’s only there to stop the steel corroding, so you could be onto
Something!
@@Heatking yes iam sure of it and it sticks motorised valves had one today put your spanner on it moveded it twice and it was free as a bird. How are you finding work at the moment it seams to be quite for me at the moment got a boiler todo next week
@@charliewillis8527 work in Jan was really busy, but in Feb now, it’s quietened right off again, which is a bit rubbish, hopefully it’ll pick back up!
@@Heatking unfortunately I think everything is to expensive for people at the moment

Thank you as always Wayne 🙏🏽
