Proper plumber 🫡 good work mate. Love your passion for the job. Non plumbers will never understand the relief of the little things like the sound of air finally being pushed around an airlocked system, or an old isolation valve actually working. Love it.
It's the best feeling in the world when you have been struggling with an air lock and you hear that rush of air and feel the pipe go freezing cold and then boiling hot, thanks for the support
You're a brave man chopping that screwed iron without a mate just in case . That waste was a joke , you don't need an air gap 😂😂 . Little tip for you when filling heating systems , get a pressure reducing valve and set it to 1 bar , put a hose either side and connect in where the filling loop goes . This way you can go around bleeding radiators etc and it's filling up but doesn't go over 1 bar. 😉
It is sometimes nice to have a mate just in case things go pear shape, great tip with the pressure reduction valve, I'm normally running around like an olympic athlete keeping my eye on the pressure, thanks for watching as always mate, it is greatly appreciated
In Ireland, we use a fill regulator with built in pressure gauge, (fitted between the mains isolator and flexi fill loop) for the cold fill to a sealed system; like the previous comment, it can be set to 1 bar and frees you up to go around venting the system and checking for leaks, handy if working on your own@@PlumbLikeTom
We've all been there Tom when you make that small cut - then think mmmm not sure that was a good idea 😄 you certainly won the battle mate! Great video indeed 👍😎😎
Boy oh boy seeing those old heaters does take me back to my school days - a great job done there Tom and some nervous moments with the potential flood cutting that first pipe.
Thanks for the support as always Alan, there's always that moment where you wonder if you did the right thing cutting the pipe, luckily everything turned out alright on this one
Looks like you had a fun day on that job Tom. Unfortunately installers don’t expect to come back to do repairs so we end up left with the bad installs to figure out. You got it done though and that’s what counts.
Thanks for the support as always mate, to be honest I'm surprised they couldn't smell that drain, it was an easy fix in the end but it seems to have done a fair bit if damage to the floor
I like the trepidation when you started to cut the iron pipe. You know it only going to be a little bit of water coming through but there is always that little doubt.....what have I missed😀😀😀 How can anybody leave that waste pipe like that. Surely (like you did) you would put a load of water down to make sure you haven't any leaks. The standard of work form some people is getting worrying. Great vid as always, keep them coming👍
You never quite know with plumbing how much water you will get, there's always that moment of doubt and regret when the bucket gets full, thanks for watching as always 👍
I would like to see how you work how to cut in a y junction in a main drain to line up with the branch coming in. presently i hold fittings in the air and eyeball along the branch. i know a dude who has cut a y down to be like a boss adaptor and slides it along the main pipe to line up and then cuts the main back. interested to see any of your external/4in drain runs with multiple junctions thanks
Cut the pipe and remove and bang a plug in if you can temporary. Quick swap and put valve in so you can drain quickly. I think it’s better working on your own as you can only fall out with yourself. Probably sealed with boss white and hemp.
Thanks for the support as always mate, I enjoy working on my own but it does get lonely sometimes, I think talking to the camera helps, it most likely was sealed with boss white and hemp
Hi Tom, another fantastic film there, well done for tackling that iron pipe, I have done plenty in the past but don’t do much with it now. That waste pipe was a mess, it didn’t take much for you to sort it out, well done another excellent job sorted by a fantastic tradesman. Have a great week Tom and as always take care. 👍👍👍
Thanks for the support as always Chris, the waste was a complete mess, I'm honestly not sure how they weren't complaining about the smell because it was a proper stinker, especially being in a kitchen you would have thought this would have been noticed
Thanks for the support as always Tony, interesting jobs make the days go faster, I do get simple jobs but the awkward ones I think make for better videos
Thanks for the support as always Shaun, there are times where I do feel phased but I always try to keep control of what I'm doing, it isn't always easy when you have water coming at you though
Those TRV made to last 😅 , I’m glad you worked on steel , indestructible made to last , I worked a lot of them , I give you a tip on those TRV , don’t bang them just bang the body a bit around and if doesn’t work , than use small grips and push that pin in a straight angle in and repeat few times .
Thanks for the support as always mate, fair point with the trv pins, that one was quite stuck to be honest, iron is indestructible and certainly was made to last, unlike the carbon press stuff that seems to be being used now
Do they actually, my makita has the quick release which grabs the end of a standard recip blade, I will have to give it a go, thanks for watching as always Chris 👍
Look old school holidays work always the case in the summer Are you self employed Tom or work for a firm? Great video aswell mate nee to the channel and the variety of work is great 👍
It probably wilo be as they have really long lead times on the dunam bush ones, you normally order them months before you need them, it probably will be due for replacement at some point in the future, thanks for watching as always mate 👍
Close enough I guess, to be honest the smell was horrendous, the kitchen was fitted a few years ago so it's probably been like it a while, thanks for watching as always 👍
I do seem to get some tricky jobs, to he honest I only film and upload the awkward ones, I do lots of easy jobs like toilets and taps but there's only so many times I can show the same thing

Really good vlog Tom, I enjoyed watching this.
Thanks for watching Gary, glad you enjoyed
They chucked you under the bus on this one mate, great job as always
It's always the way Keith, thanks for watching as always mate 👍
I do those “bad ideas” all the time 😂 makes the day more exciting I suppose! Gets the blood flowing anyway spot on video as always Tom 👍
I like to live life on the edge, plumbing is mostly just water management, thanks for watching as always
We've all been there Tom when you make that small cut - then think mmmm not sure that was a good idea 😄 you certainly won the battle mate! Great video indeed 👍😎😎
You never can be certain if it's going to breath in again, sometimes you just have to commit, thanks for watching as always PB
Opened a can of worms their Tom 😂🙈 great video as always 👍
It seems to happen quite a bit to me, thanks for watching as always Jason 👍

They are good valves, thanks for watching as always John

Well Tom you definitely got the short straw on those two jobs.
Top marks for sorting them both out 👍👍👍👍

You have balls . I would never touch a job like that without a mate .
Snatched a cold feed this morning with mains pressure behind it as no one else would. All good fun aint it. Another good video tom
I've been there are few times, sometimes you just have to what you have to do, thanks for watching as always mate
Tom has worked his magic again 😂hot fingers 😂good video Tom 👍👍👍👍👍👍🏆
Thanks for watching as always mate, working with hot pipes make you move a bit faster
Well done with that job Tom, what a pain, I was relieved when the iron pipe started moving after a touch of the hot stuff. Have a good week👍🚽
Thanks for the support as always Peter, heat generally shifts most things, failing that it would have been a bar on the end of my stilsons
@@PlumbLikeTom been there Tom swinging on stillsons

Am fitting 22 of these heaters on a job now 👍👍
They are great heaters to be fair, certainly do kick out some heat in the winter, thanks for watching as always Wayne
Brilliant video Tom,
You sure do take on some tuff and interesting jobs, sure makes the job all the more interesting ,
👍👍🤜
Thanks for the support as always Tony, interesting jobs make the days go faster, I do get simple jobs but the awkward ones I think make for better videos

Great effort getting that heater out Tom, thanks for another great video 👏👏
Thanks for the support as always Andy, it is greatly appreciated 👍
If you’ve got a leak Tom , call a plumber 🙈👍good for the blades the water cooling makes them last longer 😱🐾🐾
Thanks for the support as always Neil, I do like getting the most of my blades
Random tip, ordinary hacksaw blades (the long ones) fit recip saws and work well. Just snap them in half.
Do they actually, my makita has the quick release which grabs the end of a standard recip blade, I will have to give it a go, thanks for watching as always Chris 👍
@@PlumbLikeTom They fit the ones that release with a 1/4 turn that have a little hole drilled in them.
Great video Tom ❤
Thanks for the support as always Dan, it is greatly appreciated
Mate is there anything you won’t try. Great content as usual.
Thanks for the support as always Rob, I try not to turn to much work away, every job helps pay the bills
🤘😎🤘
Thanks for watching as always Wayne, it is greatly appreciated
This is the perfect example of walk away
Walking away just wears your shoes out faster, awkward jobs makes the days go faster as well, thanks for watching as always
@@PlumbLikeTom.....bang on attitude tom ....
Look old school holidays work always the case in the summer
Are you self employed Tom or work for a firm?
Great video aswell mate nee to the channel and the variety of work is great 👍
Thanks for the support Josh, I work for my families construction business
Pass from me on cutting that 😂
Thanks for the support as always Colin, sometimes you just have to go for it, always try to be in control
No job too tough for Tom💪🏻, is the blow heater going back in?
It probably wilo be as they have really long lead times on the dunam bush ones, you normally order them months before you need them, it probably will be due for replacement at some point in the future, thanks for watching as always mate 👍
The water from that pipe would only go into that floor void, it'll be fine.😂
Close enough I guess, to be honest the smell was horrendous, the kitchen was fitted a few years ago so it's probably been like it a while, thanks for watching as always 👍
You must have a sore head Tom. Nothing easy 😮
Nobody ever said it was going to be easy, thanks for watching as always Brian 👍
just take the bull by the horns -tom
It's normally the best way, thanks for watching as always mate 👍
Do you ever use a grinder to cut the iron pipe?
I find the recip saw better, no sparks, you could use a grinder if that's all you had
Are you a registered ball ache job contractor? Seems that way
I do seem to get some tricky jobs, to he honest I only film and upload the awkward ones, I do lots of easy jobs like toilets and taps but there's only so many times I can show the same thing
Better doing commercial work
It is nice to do commercial stuff, I personally like a mixture, thanks for watching as always mate
