Great to have you back PB - You've been missed :) Instagram is all well and good, but your RUclips videos are much more detailed, and we all love the extra length of them (and landscape!). Hope it's not so long until your next one. As for the 'repeats', well no two jobs are the same so they really are not repeats. Keep them coming! Cheers matie.
Great piece of detective work and fix on the Gax stove. Agree - If the fix is easy - best to give the owner the option to fix while you are on the premisis - if you've got the time in your schedule to do it. Great fix.
Keep up with these videos, They're really helping me... i understood how the expansion tank worked, but so cool to see it cut open. also the 3 way valve explanation really helped me open my eyes when working with them.
Hi mate we want to see you do anything and everything as often as possible. Most of your viewers are learning the trade so all footage is valuable to us.
Everyone's doing Day In The Life Now, Dr Pipe, Alan Hart, etc. You're the original though. As they say - imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Thanks, PB.
Hi PB, your plumbing and heating videos are the best on RUclips by far. No pratting about, no BS, just great technical content. Keep up the good work mate!
Hi PB, glad you put another vid up. I'm a plumber with a fair bit of experience but still enjoy watching other people work. Saw you at Prestwold 10k the other month but didn't want to impose! Hope you got the result you wanted. Cheers
Quick pointer with expansion vessels all being different colours now, if it has a folded seam it’s for heating, if it’s welded it’s for portable water to take the extra pressure 👍🏼👍🏼
Great video keep up the good glad you show cased the pipe vise that is going to be a nice bit of kit that I am going to have buy for my van nova Scotia service plumber
Brill to have you back pb, missed them! You used grips on the wb Aav, you probably know this but the lug at the back is so you can use a long screwdriver to simply twist it a quarter turn and remove it. It takes seconds 👍
Hi mate some people love to take the piss . take no notice . Most people are greatful you take the time out to do these videos You must be busy. Don't listen to the. Wankers with negative comments .
Mate - I’m debating retraining into a trade. I’ve found myself in a rabbit hole of RUclips videos and I have to say that yours are exceptional. I’m learning so much (helps that we’re from the same neck of the woods - recognise that accent anywhere!). You could go into teaching when you’re knees and back are knackered!
Split click washer. Slide it on like a normal washer do the back nut up a bit then pull tap up to lock split click. Havent used them in years but that's how I remember it. If that helps anyone. Happy days
Always learn from you. Personally the toilet repairs have helped me no end. Always have a viva side and bottom fill valve on the van and an Armitage shanks flush valve seal.
If you recharge before you remove a part it will help get rid of the excess water inside the vessel and boiler. Less chance of water damage once you remove a part
Nice video thanks . nice to see you back again and sensible tips. I like the tools you find , shame I don't do plumbing any more . I think you need either a tripod or a head camera lol
Just to add to your 3 port valve tutorial, when the valve is stuck (especially after summer) or the motor has failed you only get hot water , no heating . The dead state of the valve is the heating port closed off , you can manually push it round with the lever quickly and it will make the micro switch for a second and switch on the pump and boiler , this can give you a quick idea of what's wrong
The pipe vice looks a good bit of kit . I have bought lots of tools after watching your video . fact after this one managed to get a Nerrad Tapex second hand but looks brand-new . I will keep watching about the pipe vice and if they end up being the rite price would like one maybe two . A present for my brother cause things I have bought after watching you show them he as stolen but called it borrowed or try it before he byes ( months and months later still trying)
Regarding the 3 port description, a lot of old timers don't have a hot water off , only have hot water or hot water and heating calling connections. When you do have a hot water off the valve is powered to close off the hot water port
Good to see you are back as I don't have instagram so only catch you on you tube . You may think it's repetitive but it's never exactly the same thing twice so if time permits keep posting vids on you tube please . ☺
Fabulous work the cylinder at the start was the one I have seen piped up quality work and I’m interested in the pipe vice keep us informed if they become available ok tony
Your videos are great keep up the good work! I do prefer your RUclips videos I like the longer content, you may think certain things are mundane or you've already shown but I could watch them all day long! Don't put pressure on yourself though to keep pushing content out just for the sake of it just do it as and when you feel. Thanks for taking the time to make them. I think its people like you who really set and show the standard of how plumbing work should be carried it and I'm sure it inspires people to do the same I know it does for me so thanks.
Great vid as always, with the exp vessel on the Worcester, I usually remove the Schroeder core attach a hose and pressurise the system, this will push out any water as they can hold up to a litre in condensation, and also easily shows if the vessel has failed. Keep up the good work
Re- leaking shower screen, I find very often, when someone stands in the bath, the front end can drop fractionally leaving a gap under the silicone (if it's old) but so easy to miss if no weight in the bath. There are loads of cheap baths out there with showers over and they have no rigidity. If I fit a bath, I always brace it underneath as well.
I absolutly love the worcester 8000 its a work of art cant wait to work on it, thanks for the prv being moved, only thing im a bit dubious about is the auto filling loop what if that fails in the filling position will that not over fill and discharge out the prv?
Nice to have you back again Pete - I love watching other people work 😂 I follow your insta and still love the content on here too 👍 keep up the good work Mate 👌
The hob job at 29.00, you are 100% right Pete. Concerning that prvious LLSI's had not investigated this. I wonder what they recorded for a Gas rate on this appliance.
Looks like someone at W Bosh has been looking at the festool catalogue. Do boilers need to be toolless? It’s great the first 5 times it’s opened but in 7 years it will be like a wizards sleeve with bits flapping about all over.
Great to see you back PB! Really enjoy your jobbing plumber content you really are brilliant at promoting your industry and experience in the field! Hows the rogue 5.0 backpack or have you yet to put it through its paces?
I’ve been a licensed plumber here in Australia for the last 10 years, and really enjoy your vids, you boys in the motherland have some great pipe work skills, unfortunately the skill of pipe bending has died here do to the popularity of B-press. Please keep the posts coming bro..
peter molloy it’s largely the same in the U.K. copper is getting to be a bit of a rarity. PB is the exception not the norm. A man who clearly loves his craft.
Had to stop the video to comment on the gas hob with low pressure, why do people put sealant on a seal ?? If there's a new olive, why the PTFE and/or bosswhite. I had a similar job, a friend of a friend was complaining - they hadn't turned their boiler off for YEARS, it switched on and ran and ran !!!!! I stripped it down and found a ball of bosswhite before the injector. When gas flowed it picked up the ball and almost blocked the injector, when you isolated the gas to inspect the line the ball of bosswhite sat in the pipe. I removed it, ran the boiler up and gas rated it successfully. I went home, 45 minutes later the people were on the phone, they'd just had to turn off the boiler because they were too hot, the first time in years !!!
When you opened the second burner on the hob around 27 minutes the flame got smaller before pushing the knob down. Isn't that quite bad? I mean in Hungary where I live it's mandatory for hobs to have thermal elements so gas will flow only when the knob is pushed in or the burner is hot enough (so it will shut off the gas supply if the flame goes out for whatever reason).
Hey Pete i thought you had got fed up with the moaning from the 'know it alls' that we have all had the pleasure of working with on occasion, good to see you back. I would be interested in a pipe vice, i often swet up tails for a boiler install on the floor so this looks like the perfect alternative. I too am no spring chicken and avoid Face book, twitter and Instagram so this is the only forum i catch you on so keep em coming. That said some lads do tell me that they get a lot of work through Facebook etc, do you.
This nerrad tool unfortunately doesn't not fit to any of sink. Very small ones do not allow you to turn the nut and the socket is massive. And the 8 to 13 mm hex sockets sometimes were not long enough to reach the bolt. I was used to have it with me for long and only used 3/4 times. Better tool station one or normal spanners.
Hi P B Plumber, hope you are well, do you prefer novopress or rems? i want to get one but not sure which one is best for installer gas engineer? Many Thanks Dan
I would do a simple fix on a Gas cert.. it would be crappy in my opinion to leave somebody with no Hob or whatever for the sake of 10/15 mins... Good Job
Great to have you back PB - You've been missed :) Instagram is all well and good, but your RUclips videos are much more detailed, and we all love the extra length of them (and landscape!).

Wicked stuff, these jobs can be fiddly enough, but filming it doing some of these jobs with one hand, really shows how skilled he is 👍👍
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! YOU EXPLAIN THESE THINGS ESP THE S AND Y PLAN BETTER THAN MY TEACHER. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS
Keep up with these videos, They're really helping me... i understood how the expansion tank worked, but so cool to see it cut open. also the 3 way valve explanation really helped me open my eyes when working with them.
Hi mate we want to see you do anything and everything as often as possible. Most of your viewers are learning the trade so all footage is valuable to us.
100% agree from this 1st year apprentice. I learn little things from you each time
Yeah I’m just doing my level 2 now and find all these videos helpful and entertaining
Great video PB. Your plumbing installs always look beautiful! Your love for plumbing really shows bud!
Everyone's doing Day In The Life Now, Dr Pipe, Alan Hart, etc. You're the original though. As they say - imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Thanks, PB.
I’d buy one of those Pipe Vises in a heartbeat! Keep us posted, Pete. Thanks for the upload.
Great video, I’m a electrician but still find all the jobbing videos of interest 👍
Hi PB, your plumbing and heating videos are the best on RUclips by far. No pratting about, no BS, just great technical content. Keep up the good work mate!
I used one of the blow lamps when I was serving my time in the 70s brought back some memories
Yes PB!!! Love it! Thanks for another life of! 👌

I like how that immersion control can be retro fitted very handy for businesses too 👍
You are a quality plumber/heating engineer/gas fitter fuck I wish I was like you. Years of practice and time will come.
Great video again PB good to have you back doing these

Hi PB, glad you put another vid up. I'm a plumber with a fair bit of experience but still enjoy watching other people work. Saw you at Prestwold 10k the other month but didn't want to impose! Hope you got the result you wanted. Cheers

Brill to have you back pb, missed them! You used grips on the wb Aav, you probably know this but the lug at the back is so you can use a long screwdriver to simply twist it a quarter turn and remove it. It takes seconds 👍
Paul Turner thanks mate good tip

Hi mate some people love to take the piss . take no notice . Most people are greatful you take the time out to do these videos
You must be busy. Don't listen to the. Wankers with negative comments .
Cheers PB, learnt something tonight. I didn’t know about the pressure relief valve was a easy fix on a shower. Ps another great video.
Another great video PB
I particularly like your tool reviews and getting a look at your van set up
Mate - I’m debating retraining into a trade. I’ve found myself in a rabbit hole of RUclips videos and I have to say that yours are exceptional. I’m learning so much (helps that we’re from the same neck of the woods - recognise that accent anywhere!). You could go into teaching when you’re knees and back are knackered!
Another excellent video PB
Good video Pete, keep them coming. 👍
Great video as always PB ! Thank you, you're doing a great job!
Love your videos 👍🏻
Brilliant video - learn so much and just like to see how others work brilliant video again ... look forward to the next one
Great to see you back PB, I enjoy all your vids keep them coming!
Hi
Clear,concise & truly educational.
Bravo!!!
Split click washer. Slide it on like a normal washer do the back nut up a bit then pull tap up to lock split click.
Havent used them in years but that's how I remember it.
If that helps anyone. Happy days
Brilliant video. I love the little hints and tips. 🙌🏻
Always learn from you. Personally the toilet repairs have helped me no end. Always have a viva side and bottom fill valve on the van and an Armitage shanks flush valve seal.
Good stuff as usual bro! Some useful bits in there!
Brave man taking the trap out without something covering the PCB 🤣
If you recharge before you remove a part it will help get rid of the excess water inside the vessel and boiler. Less chance of water damage once you remove a part
simon bagley good point mate that’s very true

You would have only had to go back to the hob. Might as well do it right first time like you did
A festool boiler!
super, keep them coming. top job
Great vid again 👍
Good stuff Pete. I’d be interested in the pipe vice if theres a UK order going in 👍
That’s a cool torch
I absolutly love the worcester 8000 its a work of art cant wait to work on it, thanks for the prv being moved, only thing im a bit dubious about is the auto filling loop what if that fails in the filling position will that not over fill and discharge out the prv?
That Worcester boiler looks too good to be true
Nice to have you back again Pete -
I love watching other people work 😂
I follow your insta and still love the content on here too 👍
keep up the good work Mate 👌
I use slim slices of waste pipe to fill in the gap between the tap and basin , also never use plastic back nuts as they are cr*p and always split
The hob job at 29.00, you are 100% right Pete. Concerning that prvious LLSI's had not investigated this. I wonder what they recorded for a Gas rate on this appliance.
Most splendid
Brilliant!!!

makes me appreciate my trade, would enjoy working with a fella like you.
hi PB , new to the channel but you videos are great , looking for ideas on a wet vac all my batteries are mikita
Nice tidy job mate. I need a pipe lagger pro 👍
Nice video keep up the good work
Great to see you back PB! Really enjoy your jobbing plumber content you really are brilliant at promoting your industry and experience in the field! Hows the rogue 5.0 backpack or have you yet to put it through its paces?
I remember tagging you in the pipevice ages ago on instagram. Another good video mate

Love you're videos and you're pipe work is unreal 👌👌! Out of interest what would your grandad of used as flux when soldering?
Please tell me where I can get a pipe vise they look great 👍, great content as always much appreciated
Fookin wondered where you'd been ,, Welcome back
Great video pb, invest in a cheap tripod for filming these, it makes it a whole lot easier, 👍

dont be worried about posting here and on IG. Some of use dont use social media like me so everything you post is new to us.
Good watch pete 👍
Nice video. The bathroom furniture was lovely, did you laquer the copper or leave it to be polished? Also you put the bog roll on the wrong way!
Hey, thanks for the cool videos. Can you tell me where to get the blow torch nozzle from? Wouldnoike the pipe vice as well. Cheers
