Ive been retired from the trade for 10 years and its great to keep in touch with the changes in practice and technology by watching your informative videos . ( my other half keeps asking me if I will ever " clock out? " )
Chiral, love your channel, but that install in the loft space is questionable, you have not mentioned the requirements for loft installs, i.e complying with BS6798, Maybe a follow up is required bro. All the best, Ashley.
Aerated bricks or 'parpaing' is a common building material here in France, especially for construction of walls and ceilings during the 60's & 70's. Easy to core through but difficult to get a decent fixing which takes any weight. Epoxy resin fixings can work if you're hanging a boiler which isn't too heavy. For heavier applications a floor support is also needed.
They build at the loft level , these bricks are used for hot weathers , but whoever build that section , he’s smart , usually lofts gets really hot in the summer , it helps to cool down , which reduces the humidity and heat inside the house during hot seasons .
Give these a try mate handy to have on van ... deWalt aerated nylon concrete anchors from screwfix pack of 50 . Used to hang big double rads on something similar to that wall .Then use coach screw's to fix.
I like these install videos pal 👍 A good interesting watch. It will be interesting to see the long term reliability of the ECAs but they do look ok to be fair
I have seen these a lot in southern Europe where it is hot, they are good at keeping buildings cool and can be single skin with render. I too have never seen them in the UK.
"Whilst Josh is Dumping!" 😂 Good job lad! Would be cool if you spoke of the legislation regarding loft installations as its changed alot of the past few years! 🙌🤟
Loft insulation. for 15mm copper pipe is 25mm wall; 25 + 15 + 25 = 65mm, so you need to stand off your pipes from the wall to allow for large diameter insulation, and for 22mm copper pipe its 19mm wall; 19 + 22 + 19 = 60mm. there's also a requirement for a permanent fixed walking board form loft hatch to boiler and a permanent fixed hand rail, also a cage must be fitted around the boiler so as to stop people leaning items against the boiler, and then there is a requirement to have a fitted loft ladder with a hand rail. All of this is so that when the boiler needs service/maintenance, a engineer can access it safely, as it is the boiler manufacture will refuse to fix the boiler. Just think what will happen if the service engineer fall through the loft and ends up in hospital, that RIDDOR is coming at you. And don't forget to lag the condense waste and best remove that stupid shower trap as in the winter the bladder is going to freeze and the boiler will drown in condense water. It was all in your gas training, why not do it correctly.
I've only ever seen them once before on a plumb like Tom video they are a type of brick apparently. Wouldn't fancy trying to get a fixing in one though.
think its terracotta brick. Get it a lot on the older council houses can be a pain to get a decent fixing on them. Just don't use hammer on your sds blows the brick then your done for a fixing in my experience anyway.
Hey bro, Nicely installed A small request, if possible, could you please do a breakdown video on how you go about power flushing I am interested in getting the other power flush machine that you have, I already have the magnaclense So it will be good to know how you do things Also, it was good to meet you at the Installer show not sure you remember picking up my little ones football bythe ECA stand hahah
I've got a different problem. I've got an internal wall that has been clad with celutex. Its very thick and I think I'm going to have to batten and screw to the wall behind and then ply it
@@cputilitysolutions haha, no doubt it will! Pretty sure you wouldn't've left it without feeling confident in it. Guess I'm a belt and braces type... that and the old fixings were in the mortar bed. Meh, I over think too much! Enjoyed the vid btw.

Yeah first time for me, luckily managed to get a decent enough fixing
Resin fixing is something to keep on your van for those terracotta blocks ,can totally save you sometimes lol
Ah yeah I've got that resin by R-Kem I think from Screwfix. Was gonna use that if I didn't end up getting a good fixing

Chill out Derek.😮
Excellent you were close to Macclesfield where I live!👍👍
You are brave using a flush machine without dust sheets down…
i like to live life on the edge

Yeah it was a bit of a pain but got there in the end!
Good day in the office today 😂👍
Hot day! 😂🥵
Those bricks are from the continent, usually used in spain, italy, and france.
Those bricks are used in Spain and are tricky to fix to

Yeah I just used it on normal mode and it worked in the end 👌🏾
@@cputilitysolutions glad it worked out I have had to pattress walls out to get a fixing for radiators and such can be a nightmare

Do you buy all your boilers from the same supplier?
Not always, just shop around
They’re strong but brittle. Can’t remember the name but do come across them now and then
Yeah I drilled them very carefully and luckily managed to get some decent fixings 🤞🏾
Need a neutraliser on the condense if it is terminating in to that cast iron stack
In France they use these blocks and they use toggle fixings or resin would be my choice ,
I've got a different problem. I've got an internal wall that has been clad with celutex. Its very thick and I think I'm going to have to batten and screw to the wall behind and then ply it
Yeah looks like the best way mate
Defo ply and then the boiler, my concern is that condence, is that a cast soil pipe?
Yeah it is. The condense has been teed into one of the bathroom wastes below as far as I know
Is that extra PPE available at plumage.😂
mate can you do video how to seup powerflush machine different systems what connection you use i.e camlot fittings etc
Will do mate 👍🏾
Used in Europe to build this way for donkeys years 😅😅😅 old uk again
yeh I'd ply that with loads of screws and ct1.
😂 well it's on now so hopefully it'll last as long as the last one did
@@cputilitysolutions haha, no doubt it will! Pretty sure you wouldn't've left it without feeling confident in it. Guess I'm a belt and braces type... that and the old fixings were in the mortar bed. Meh, I over think too much! Enjoyed the vid btw.
@@killercabbage1276 thank you mate 🙏🏾 yeah I made sure it was solid 😅
