You Sir are a godsend, I've learnt everything I know about plumbing from you, I'm not a plumber but I have managed to plumb my own utility room successfully (hot and Cold) from what I've learnt from your channel. Thank you and Hold Tight !
A lot of times ,"Cavitation can be caused by Undersized Pipework allied with bad pipe geometry, i.e the use of 90 deg Elbows rather than slow swept bends or nice Pulled bends, better still Two 45 degree bends to continue a run... the reason for the slower pump speed is ,too high a Suction lift, basically the circulation pump is pulling and discharging faster the the liquid can be supplied into the pump chamber creating serious Bubbles of Vapour...which are incompressible just like Ball Bearing being fired at the Mechanical of the Pump and also eroding the vanes on the impeller...thus creating the shortening of the life of the pump seal... then you have leaks across the seal faces... Great Upload, really great to see a really skilled Plumber / Heating Engineer at work , your Dad mentored you really well you're a credit to him...
Love this channel never used to touch plumbing now extra 2 rads added to system and 3 more rads swapped upgraded to trv just 3 more rads to go It's like a mini collage course
Top video as always, love the fact you show real life situations where you can't always be neat when soldering in awkward spaces 🙂 Also top tip for water in the pipe scenario, me and my mate Shane discovered out of shear desperation when a difficult system was taking forever to drain down, we grabbed my shiny new Karcher wet and dry vac (WD6) and cut a pipe we had planed to alter then whacked the end of the hoover on the pipe, boom! to our amazement it sucked literally gallons out in just a couple of minutes even though the hoover pipe was much bigger than the 22mm we had just cut. No more drip drip drip! completely bone dry. I had only bought it as a job site hoover and for spills, now it's my new best friend Happy Days 🙂🍻
Sucks it out in seconds! Another trick is to have a mate about a meter down the pipe with a blow torch on it - evaporates the water as it approaches and gives you the chance to get the solder done - tried them all I have!
Am doing an install at the minute, this is nothing to do with video but hope you can shed some light. system has auto bypass valve in normal place before the valves, does the expansion vessel and pressure relief valve/filling loop need to be in this loop (after bypass has tee'd back into return pipe) or can it go before the auto bypass tees back in, on the return pipe (after HWC tees with CH)? Can't see any details about it online, I assume after the tee but just checking as would be easier before....
Have a problem with 2 new radiators in extension. It’s all Hep2 o the connection for these 2 Radiators is a manifold with 4 connections. But I want to fit it correctly with 2 to cold and 2 to hot. But here not easy to find. And most access points are in the smallest place in the eaves.
james please please please do a review of the rothenberger rocut twin cut pvc cutters as i know you have that tool, ive looked everywhere an not 1 person has given a review and on amazon the reviews are not great. or just tell me is it worth buying
Hi, I am hoping you can help please? I've had new rads fitted and some TRVs have been added to my returns and now have no idea how to balance it. The main Rad in the livingroom is luke warm at the bottom and hot up the top and I'm really confused how to approach this. When I adjust it, it affects the others. To make matters worse I have 14 radiators and have no idea which is 1st in my run. Sorry for all of the questions. Do you have a video that could help please? Thank you
Aav's should only be used for initial filling and venting, once system is air free and circulating, best practice is close the cap. They aren't foolproof. In a sealed system, loss of system pressure will be apparent with or without aav's. High ph is a likely cause of pressure loss, so water quality tests ( ie. I test by scalemaster) and loads of QUALITY added inhibitor. Continued air entrainment issues, pressure loss ,circulation issues need resolution as part of the process.
Must admit. I think I'd of popped on a couple of lever valves on the wet side. Isolate them for soldering in the tees. Nice to see you've sorted it though
James it’s the 45 degree angle of those pipes In the loft which is causing air to accumulate and the air bubbles are joining causing one large air bubble, change that to 90 degree straight pipe and it should fix it

Haha! Cheers mate. Filming with my old man tomorrow.
Personally I think this sytem would work really well with a low loss header.
Real pleasure to watch your videos. If I lived my life again, I certainly would consider a plumbers life. (Maybe not in winter though)

Great video, I do prefer the onsite videos. They show a more realistic picture of field work. Good work buddy!
Cheers mate, I like to mix it up.
Exellent job sir well done
CHARS!
cavitation also happens if you eat too many sweets.
You telling the tooth, the whole tooth and nothing but the tooth to help our gobs?
Good man Roger, quick with the joke & the light of a smoke !!! Hope you're keeping well !!
I want to see a Plumb-Off, Roger Vs Jimmy 😂
And I bloody love sweets. Hope you're well mate - check your whatsapp about 'that thing' we spoke about! 👍👍👍
Another great video pal
8:59 flexi hose on central heating circuit? Are they that reliable now?
With he air vents that you fit, do you always need 2, inflow and outflow?
Thumbs up 👍🏽
where do i sens plum bing phuque cups?

Recently I've just had a few trv needles sticking stole all the flow from the other rads!

Was this is sealed system? If so, will the pressure not drop down when air is released through the automatic air valve?
Yes on both, that's why my next job would be fixing the creation of air. But this can be a reet pain!
@@The_Invisible_Self Surely the proper fix is to work out where the air is coming from and stop it?
@@plumberparts Look forward to the video!
Radiator cold at bottom one pipe warm other cool
Drained radiator and fluhed out with hose pipe bled and filled up again still same
Any thoughts

I love the word QUALITY in caps. so much knock off inhibitor out there atm. ADEY all the way.

Love cricket and I love this channel I was lucky enough to be in oz when we beat them
In the ashes and I got interviewed by the bbc 😂
James it’s the 45 degree angle of those pipes In the loft which is causing air to accumulate and the air bubbles are joining causing one large air bubble, change that to 90 degree straight pipe and it should fix it
Couple off far radiator don't get hot there is no in it any help

I'm wearing one now....check the shop!

Wtf?! 😂

Good grief, forget the heating(don't mean it) I want the sparks that put his wiring up on the timbers.
Mine aren't hot because I can't afford to turn them on. It's so cold in my house that the flame on my boiler is frozen.
Ha!
Just use compression, no need to be a hero
I just didn't on this, although it did cross my mind....then I realised I had no equal 22mm comps (or once with 15x22) in the van and the supplier was 25 mins away - sod that! 😂
Use what you got , I suppose. I just avoid the torch as much as I can , had one or two scares with fire
If you have a second phone, you can set it up to view the pressure via video call while you watch for leaks. Saves running up and down.
Or use the Young lad !!!
I LOVE THIS COMMENT. You've changed my life forever. Although the Mrs might wonder why I have a second phone! 😂
