As a total non-professional DIY 'plumber' with an engineering background (so I understand the calcs but am crap with the tools 😂), I really enjoy watching these videos 🤣 Much respect to you guys for your skills and professionalism. This is a really helpful tutorial.
Exactly same here , I have so much respect for anyone doing this kind of stuff and what I love is that these guys are happy to teach younger ppl and get more ppl in to the trade. Couldn’t learn from two better ppl
A good pipe bending video would be a partial cross over,. Where the pipe jumps over a pipe and into another pipe. Bending to a given measurement at 90 degrees is quite easy with scrap piece of pipe insertion method. Plumber parts and PB plumber channels both have very good pipe bending tutorials. Oh and Tomkat gas training Derick. I believe you did your ACS training with him?
at college we had a board drawn out to a 3meter length of 15mm with numerous bends including stretched length. we only ever did it once but was a good laugh with added competition between a few of us. I always use the techniques shown when pipework is on show can always look back at the end of the job/day full of pride. plumbers art 🎨
Great video as always. Your a credit to your profession in that your channel gives out good quality information and advice. Not sure is heat pumps are your area expertise or if your going to become qualified / competent in that dept. As with the government push towards renewables and heat pumps a video on pros / cons and a comparison on running costs for your investment would be very useful. Rodger from Skill builder is not a great fan of heat pumps in poorly insulated older homes. Would be good to see a few heat pump installs if you were ever thinking of turning your skills in that direction.
Some time ago I saw Andrew Millward Watford do some crazy bends in an installation. Well, the bends themselves were not so crazy, but how he integrated them into one single, long piece of pipe, around some obstacles and corners, left me a bit astounded. That guy definitely can think 3D.
That Andy Millturd loves himself, oh & his topless Apprentice!!! If he was chocolate he’d eat himself. Question his judgement & he’ll turn on you, he’s a badass bitch!! Kind regards Dick Puller
Hi guys, novice here obvs. Is this hard drawn copper pipe? Not soft annealed? I just wanted to make sure a pipe bender could bend hard copper pipe. Cheers, Sarah
Hello mate, I’m 22 years old finished my level 1,2&3 diploma at college but I haven’t had any on site experience, and I’m finding it hard for anyone to take me on, what would you recommend for me to get nvq qualified? Thank you
Great & informative, but, as we all know; We don’t have bits of paper or steel rulers on-Site. We have a dirty, cramp environment, poorly lit, a pencil & tape measure. Plus, we’re on Bonus Rates/Price work, so no time to fanny around. It never, ever is a workshop environment. But thank you both, but get under the Bench on the flood & do it, then I’ll be impressed!! Regards Dick Puller.
🤣🤣 best reply I’ve seen! To be fair Dick, I was always able to do this on site. Most the time, the floors had not yet been laid so there was a whole floor to use as a drawing pad. Domestically, I just use the boiler box. Adapt and overcome mate.

That made more sense than any pipe bending tutorials I've ever seen
Very kind of you thank you.

Nice work on the bending. I bet learning to bend pipe could become very costly very quickly due to the price of copper pipe.
Again very informative, simple to follow buying a benders today and practice save on fittings and looks nicer
Thank You

ASHP video coming soon. I will give you my honest opinion as always. Thanks for your support.
Absolutely brilliant tutorial

The copper hasn't been annealed. Thanks.

The best one explains bending
If you can do the video again but close to the bender
The Center has sadly closed down.

Maybe experience, but I can do it with a few measurements and by eye.
