Can't believe this is free... I've just had what should be a paid for lesson on plumbing! Thank you Roger.
Nothing is Free ... RUclips shows ads

Agreed!!!
I pay for RUclips premium
@@boxinggloves1699 So you paid for your lesson
I read a book about PTF tape I found it hard to read as I could not find the beginning.
That is funny I read a book on Duck Tape and couldn't put it down.
Clear, succinct, comprehensive and interesting. Just when I need it. Roger, you're brilliant!
Absolutely fantastic. Your delivery of information is clear, concise, and you can tell it comes from experience. I'm currently repairing some piping in my home, and this video gives me the confidence that I am doing the job right. Thanks for your effort and time!
Great video explains everything you need to know and from my pluming shop just down the road, I think we all just have to have more confidence in these push fittings I must admit it took me awhile but never had a problem with one yet, I have watched many of you videos and you explain this very clearly keep them coming
If my memory serves me correctly JG also state not to re-use their fittings if you unlock the nuts. But I've always ignored it :-) Many times when you release the pipe the insert stays in the fitting and you have to crack it open.
Been using JG Speedfit since 2001 and even some polypipe fittings I got free and never had a single leak.
Removed an old central heating system in 2011 where they'd used later rads with plastic pipe. They'd also not bothered to use fittings on half the ends pushed into rad valves.
Fantastic - thanks so much for this. The clearest and most comprehensive video on the topic I've found.
Very informative, as ever. Maybe a future video could cover pressfit/crimping as an alternative to solder/compression/pushfit, both in copper and the dedicated plastic systems?
Very clear Roger and, as a novice, I would feel confident to make such connections. Great video
This is why this guy is great . He’s actually showing you how to do it and how sometimes it’s a nightmare but there’s always a way fair play mate
Fantastic many thanks, all of the videos are really clear and understandable. I’ve learned more about pipe fittings in 10 mins than I have in my whole life
Dear Sir: Thank you for the lesson on how to join pipes together. Although I may never do plumbing. You taught me an emergency life skill, in the event a plumber was not available. Also, I like the way you were patient presenting the material. Thanks again. Katie
Great information! I work maintenance and have my first plumbing job (minor repair) tomorrow. Got all the info I needed. Cheers!
Another great video Roger. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and tips. I love your thorough explanations. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for explaining in a way the average level diy man or woman can understand.
Great video, thanks again.
Best I have seen very good pat
Thank you Roger. Appreciate your professional advice. Another brilliant tutorial
Hi Roger, first class info & 100% well deliverd thank you. I have not plumbed for a long time & since time, last plastic has come into its own so needed all the detail explained to undertake amn installation job at home. I now have the correct info & confidence to deal with the joints required. Thank You... I have watched a number of your videos & they are so valuable, good work.
Thankyou Roger.
I've been watching and saving your videos as tutorials as I'm about to renovate and refit my bathroom.
This will be the first time I've attempted a bathroom and I'm looking forward to the challenge.
I gutted and refitted/plumbed a kitchen at my last property and it was very satisfying success.
Now, armed with many hours of book research and top tips from the informative user friendly videos you offer, I'm geared up to go.
How did it go? 😂
Great Video with concise instructions for an average DIY home owner. Thanks for your video contribution and I look forward to your next posting. Cheers from USA
Some great advice here. One of the best videos out there for basic plumbing. I was about to go buy new compression fitting as there was a very slow leak. This video popped up and saved myself a few quid and a long drive by taping around the Olive.
Thanks for sharing.
Glad it helped
Excellent. Great bits of detail right there, I just love watching folks who know there trade, talk about all the
do's and won't work well tricks. Rodger is a true professional at this. Thank you again. Jim
Nice to know that one can insert I compression fitting into a plastic 15mm pipe very good
Omg, thank you so much for making this video. You have helped me A TON!
Great job of explaining where to the pipe tape to prevent leaks. Great video for learning how to join pipes properly.
Really clear instruction - thank you for sharing such knowledge.
Really helpful, thank you. Another vote for the crimping Buteline Plumbing System, would be great to get your expert opinion on these types of systems too.
Thanks for video it came at perfect time as I’m about to install gas into my campervan and I was confused on different types of fittings etc. Cheers
Very informative and I learnt a few things. Especially at the end with the push fittings on the chrome pipe. One thing I'd like to point out though is locking the JG Speedfit pipes actually compresses the rubber o-ring to create a better seal.
i'm not a plumber and I probably watched this video half a dozen times over the years. I still get skill-fully reminded on the techniques... brilliant Video
Thanks for your professional advice ....regards from Malta:)
That was super-informative. Thanks Roger!
Thank you so much. I am seventy this is my first attempt of simply putting an additional outside tap using a T piece. I know plastic is simper but compression looks sturdier. Wife not impressed with water spraying everywhere after it had been installed 5 days without a leak! . I had used brass olive instead of copper. No amount of white tape would stop the leak! Thanks to your video olive now secure on the pipe.
Great vids Roger I’m a paddy worked in London years ago went to NY then back to Ireland but now mostly NY I have an uncle in Maidstone so I find your videos and info really brilliant.l`m a mechanical engineer and you do a super job of showing the tools and such keep them going ,love watching
Hi Roger.
I used to listen to you on LBC radio.
I'm glad you are still around.
Nice to hear your voice again.
This is a very useful video, I have been searching all over for this information. Very clear thank you!
Very clear explained. Thank you!
I've done DIY for many decades and I knew most of this ....but I still watched the whole video. It never hurts to brush up on knowledge, does it ? :-)
The ptfe around the Olive makes total sense , 30 years in the building trade and never seen that , learning all the time. Cheers
Brilliant informative video, about to take on a full bathroom revamp and your videos have helped and give me the confidence. Thank you 👌👌
Thanks for the help man. I didn’t realize sharkbite fittings were good for pvc or pex as well. I’m not a plumber by any means, so this helped me fix my waste pipe from the sink
Plumbing is my least favourite diy job! Great video very informative especially putting the ptfe on the olives thanks a lot 👍🏼
Thanks for that another great video and reassuring to see that I've been doing it correctly, especially useful as I'm rebuilding the bathroom at the moment.
Thank you so much for this video. Zero knowledge on plumbing and was able to remove an old push fit t joint and attach a new brass one. AGAIN, thank you!
Excellent video, the ptfe on the olive was worth the watch alone 👍
what a fantastic fella,and an amazing tutor in respect to plumbing😁👍cheers mate for your expertise,WELL HELPFUL 😁👍
Thank you so much you really make me glad and satisfied for such professional updated for an old engineer
I really liked the way you explained it.
Excellent presentation and some handy hints...thank you.
Best DIY plumbing video ever.
I have a plastic speedfit on a copper pipe that a plumber quickly installed last year for an outdoor tap, unfortunately it leaks when under pressure so I haven't been able to use the tap yet. I'm thinking of swapping over to brass compression fittings, but those speedfits are tricky to take off especially in cramped locations, I think I will try the method you showed on here. Cheers! =)
Fantastically helpful video. Thank you so much.
Really good video. Look forward to the next one.
holy cow!!! this guy is amazing!! thanks for being there
We had a hidden leak behind the tiles of our electric shower - caused a hell of a lot of damage to plaster and the entire cubicle and tiling had to be ripped out to get at the leak and dry out the walls. We couldn't get a plumber interested in our comparatively small job. In the end I had to tackle everything myself - a significant amount of between floorboards re-routing of copper pipework to accommodate a standalone fully enclosed shower cubicle. Your plumbing videos gave the the knowledge and self-confidence to do a very professional looking job (certainly better than much of the original plumbing). Now I've successfully cut and rerouted mains pressure water pipes under floors with no leaks at all I'll probably never feel the need to call out a plumber again!
Many thanks.
Thank you for your motorised valve video not easily accessible, but managed a grateful pensioner
Brilliant tip I put PTFE tape around the olives ..... no leaks thank you for great tip also excellent video
Great video. Very professional all I needed.
Thanks
Clear & concise. Just what I needed to understand. Thankyou very much sir.
That was great, so helpful. Thank you 🙏
I’m not a plumber.
But due to learning kitchen fitting at college the plumbing tutor always said the threads should never see water hence don’t need ptfe tape.Only tape the olive.
Fast forward a 17 years and I’ve seen ptfe tape wrapped around everything.You see it hanging out of radiator fittings in homes.Ive mentioned it to plumbers over the years but they are hell bent wrapping it like Xmas present.
because teflon/PTFE tape is not sealant, its not for sealing anything, its for helping you tighten the fitting. NPT is a tapered thread, so as you tighten it, it seals through the tapering of the pipe.
Superb video, thanks Roger. I'm on here because my loft flooded at midnight last night after one of those puch fit plastic fittings came off. Things always seem to go wrong at the most inconvenient time! It was joining plastic pipe from the boiler to the copper pipework in the loft. I am now going to replace them all with compression fittings and thanks to you, I now know to get some liners for the plastic pipes and will use the PTFE around the olives. Thanks again for helping me out.
I am sorry to hear about your flood. The pipe from the boiler should be copper and should not change to plastic for at least 2 metres. It sounds like yours is the other way around.
Great stuff as usual Roger, thanks for all your help!
Thank you Bob
Pure gold this channel. Cheers from an ex-carpenter.
Thanks Dennis!
Thanks - another great video. I need to remove a leaking isolator on a PB plastic pipe and I've only ever worked with copper before. I googled for a couple of hours before going to RUclips and finding your video. I now know exactly what to do and what parts to buy for the job.
One thing worth mentioning is the use of the copper push-fit fittings. I've not used them myself but I 've always imagined they'd be useful when working on existing pipework that's on display and can't be effectively dried out enough for relaible soldering.
I have had a lot of bad luck with those copper push fits. The demountable ones are ok but the others are a one shot deal and you have to cut the fitting out if they don't go right.
Your video is very helpful, Thanks for sharing with us
Great presentation, very informative. Thank you 👍
Thank you for uploading! Thank you for your lecture and skill sharing.
Informative and very enjoyable. Thank you.
Top man, very clear and informative.👍
Just gonna start my bathroom renovation and this video has really put me in the right direction. Well presented lots of useful information and I liked it. Just subscribed. Great job. 👍👽 January 2022.
thank you Roger your very informative..you helped me decide on how an which type of plumbing i will use on my next cabin.....tiny house build.
Thanks Grantt!
Had to subscribe, very informative and best guidance. Thanks
Excellent explanations! Thank you!
Such a great video. Thanks Roger
Another great video Roger!
So glad I found your channel Roger. I have learnt such a lot. I'm time rich and money poor, and decent tradespeople are very hard to find where I live (in the foreign!) so it's (hopefully) learn first, do next, and in my case measure 6 times and cut once!
We are glad to help. Take your time with everything and you will do a better job. There are no prizes for being first and people who rush end up doing it all again.
Thanks for the video, very helpful! You sound like Chris Sutton
Excellent tutorial Roger !
Thank you. I hope you enjoy some of the other SB videos
Great video, Thank you Roger
An excellent practical video and very helpful
Avery competent job was shown

Brilliant Roger, thank you!
Great tutorial thank you!!
You are an absolute legend mate really appreciate your time putting this video together. I've just discovered a leaking pipe at a radiator that has these plastic pipes running into a copper fitting and wasn't sure how they are assembled therefore this has helped me big time. You've got yourself another like and Subscriber!! Thank you so much for your time 😊🍻👍
Glad it helped, we have oveer 800 videos now so hopefully that will keep you busy.
Brilliant video, thank you.
Thank you for this very informative video!
Excellent video. thanks for the advice :D
Brilliant tutorial! Thanks
Fantastic amount of info in this clip.
Thanks.
Thank you so so much for this!
Good info well presented Roger.
clear and to the point; 10/10
Hi Roger , Being an Ex English Apprentice served Plumber pipefitter , Now in the USA I do like the subtle differences Over here now its nearly all Pex , but its joined with internal ribbed fitting and a compression copper ring holding it on the outside , Its easy to use and 2 guys can plumb a 3 bath Kitchen wash room house in under a day , They don't even teach Copper and black iron pipe much anymore , ( possibly like being in collage in the early 80's they taught us lead burning flashing making) . Being bought up on copper pipe and iron pipe I find that when ever a job requires these I come into My element and can smoke the young guns lol . Great Channel great information True craftsman ( I was a Railway Apprentice Plumber pipefitter so leaned a bit of everything )
Thank you for an excellent video.
Great video, very informative. Thank you!
As usual Roger, great informative video for which, thank you. What is your opinion on the use of any of these fittings beneath the floorboards? I see many different opinions on this online. Some say never use them and others say it's ok under certain circumstances, I'm coming from the angle of an ensuite refit where I want to replace a full pedestal basin where the hot and cold feeds emerge from the floor about 12cm from the wall and rise behind the pedestal. I want to replace with a semi-pedestal and therefore looking to reroute the pipes towards the wall under the boards, embed them into the wall, and have them emerge from the wall further up where they'll be covered with the semi-ped. So your opinion would be of great value and much appreciated.
Brilliantly done sir .
Great guy, very informative, easy to understand - thanks
lot of information in 17 min thank you
For me, a licenced plumber for over 40 years, the best system in Hep20 from Hepworth Industries.
A polybutyl system using 18mm and 22mm pipe and compression fittings. The fittings have a SS grab ring and 'o' ring which only needs hand pressure to tighten, no tools. the only tool you need is a lever action pipe cutter.
It is the simplest system available but you MUST always use a SS support sleeve inside the pipe. It is suitable for both hot and cold water but like most plastics cannot be used in sunlight.
I found it comes into it's own on high water pressure jobs as it stops water hammer. So if you have a copper system with water hammer, install a coil on the hot and cold connections at a tank hot water heater. It is usually the non-return valve at water heaters that cause water hammer and the plastic pipe expands enough to stop it.
Education every time, appreciate you.
Hope there are more videos in the pipeline.
I like the ptfe tip not only is it useful belt and braces engineering but you actually get to see if the olive is correctly set in situ which for amateurs like me is always a concern.
Well in Roger
