    The tap wrench idea is genius! Wish I had known about that one...hated kneeling down for 20mins...

  • @marknewton2097

    For anyone who has left their basin wrench in the van a short length of solder is just the right diameter to hold the TPRV open when draining, just hold the valve open, slip the solder round and twist a knot in it to keep it in place.

    Dr pipe. I think you have a brilliant balance, of knowledge to pass on, things that go right or wrong, and a good sense of humour . 'Keep it coming ' said the nun to the vicar 😂

    Hey, I watch your videos there really good keep up the good work. As fellow plumber do you ever worry about draining the system through the safely valve as sometimes they don't sit back right and leak???

    Enjoying the videos, keep up the good work. On that automatic air vent on the Worcester are they anything like the flamco automatic air vents where the plastic screw has a split in the threads and this is where the air escapes through after being separated ? If so haven’t you essentially just stopped any air venting automatically by ptfe’ing the thread ? Dan

    • @drpipe

      Daniel Collins Glad your enjoying content. No bother stopping air release until we go back and service for strip down. 👍👍

      ghostmanromeo uk Your gonna need ur G3 more and more as the industry goes a bit sparky mad 👍 pain we have to redo every 5 tho 😡 Widget is available thru email. If you go to the About section there’s an email there won’t put it here just in case but then it’s £23.95 delivered.. it’s an hours worth of my time so just helps put something back into the youtube pot for all the equipment and storage of video footage etc. It’s much appreciated and felt it was better that a t shirt with my mug on it 😂🤣 otherwise if you westlondon bound you could pick it up for £20.00 any issue. Message me again.

Aesthetically no it doesn’t look great.. but then I didn’t fit it and after all easy access to recharge would you agree ? Thanks for watching 👍 not everything is polished and perfect in this game.
