- Toilet has got to be removed from his plumbing job less than 2 months after being fitted...but why??
the customer is having a new floor fitted to the whole downstairs of this house so the toilet is being removed to make it a nice job.
Also we take a look at a radiator job where the customer said it was a straight swap and its not....so always check what the customer is telling you.
And we replace an existing radiator in a house renovation

Was always a ptfe guy, use liquid thread sealant in my day job(factory machinery) and sold. Loctite at work but used rapid blue on all my house rads and was great.
Rapid Blue….. that’s the one
Smurf juice
great video Mark and love the craic you have with the rest of them I have old think its 10mm copper or maybe 8mm pipes should have got them changed before the flooring went down slipped up there
The customer wouldn’t have wanted to pay the cost involved on that mate……gotta deal with what we got👍🏼👍🏼
From plumber to plumber buddy...quick way to measure so rad falls above skirting correct...measure bottom of rad to bottom of bracket then measure off the top of skirting and add and inch or 2 so it suites the others in the house 🤜 craking job btw mate
Yep…. So many ways to do the same job 👍🏼👍🏼
@@MJTiffPlumbing your certainly right there mate...you never stop learning in plumbing so atleast our days fly by haha good content pal keep up the good graft!!
If I'm honest I have learned new ways off this video so thankyou and as you say you do as ur used to and the way you learned
Blue seal is fab for 25 years never even used PTFE and never had an issue but I find it's the quality of the products nowadays is not as good as I just started using the blue seal and again never had an issue
Will have to give it a go
Floorboards in my middle bedroom got painted yellow, not all very similar to what you showed, probably 80's too. Carpets downstairs were 80s judging by newspapers underneath
Gotta love the 80’s
Great video mate, loving the banter with the other fellas 😂😂
Thanks mate
Yes, 1970’s thick gauge copper always had that blue “Yorkshire” sticker on it. That would be old 1/2” imperial. I had to rip some blue stickered 1 1/4” copper out about 6 months ago from a 1970’s plantroom.
Thanks for the info mate
Can see the appeal of press. No flux smell in the air, no flux to flush out.
Exactly that
They were some fair old swept tees on that rad job Mark.
Never seen any like that before on copper pipework
Nice couple of easy jobs this week, makes a change. Great video 👍
Certainly does Keith….👍🏼👌🏼
Good vid. Nice one. Have a good week people
And you buddy…..👍🏼👍🏼
Nice job and cant beat a bit of banter with the lads 😂
Good craic with other trades on jobs
Old Copper I love it😂😂😂
Yep proper copper
Well done. 👍
Thanks mate
Sweep tees we always used sweep tees in the seventies
About right with the age of the house
Nice and relaxed day Mark 😂
👍👍🤜
Indeed Tony…. We like those days
I tried using loctite liquid on a towel radiator.. had to use a chrome tee on one side due to having a heating element.. left it overnight and was still spinning the next day .. ptfe tape is a physical barrier that creates a decent seal . Not convinced with liquid loctite...
Yep I know what you mean mate
I've found the liquid PTFE no good on shiny chrome fittings 💦
Nice work 👍👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🤙
Thanks mate🙌🏼
Never seen exaggerated solderable Tees like those before ! Very unusual
Exactly what I thought mate
Hi Mark you mentioned copper shortage during the 70s never used stainless steel here in west wales but was supplied with copper but you could not bend it it was so hard it would split if you tried so we had to use loads of fittings Cheers
Ohhh….. very interesting, you must of had all the copper then 🤣🤣👍🏼
Ha ha@@MJTiffPlumbing
🤣🤣……
Hi Mark, a nice job with the press and that pipe work, nice to see some of the old thicker walled copper pipe.
The radiator job for the carpenter is it all 10mm pipe on every rad?
The little cloak room is looking great now, that’s another one in the bag.
Have a great week, take care, regards Chris. 👍👍👍
Yep….. 10mm all over 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
@@MJTiffPlumbingoh the dreaded 10mm.
Blue stuff is brilliant mate
👍🏼👍🏼
Hi Mark, I have been following your channel for a few months now and really enjoying your content. I'm wondering why you had to hook a new pipe and do a new T junction for the tubing to the left side of the radiator rather than just shortening the edge of the tube which was already there. Thank you
Was just easier to be honest mate…. As the original pipework was the “wrong” side of the floor joist….
Glad your enjoying the content buddy 👍🏼👍🏼
How are you finding the Erbauer 20v range? Recently bought a couple of their tools myself and for the money I can't complain.
Can’t fault them at all for the money…. I have an SDS, angle grinder, multitool and jigsaw….. never had an issue
@@MJTiffPlumbing The LXT batteries also fit Evolution 18v tools👍🏼
Mark, lovely work as always pal 👍 have ya sold your blow torch 😂
Still in the van mate….. don’t worry about that😉😉
When you were connecting the newly cut pipes to the existing ones, what was that tool that you used that looked like a pair of pliers which made like a grinding sound?
Is it like a soldering/torque/crimping kind of tool to hold the pipes in place?
Press tool buddy….. take a look at my content and you will see what it is 👍🏼👍🏼
Great video, as usual.
That thick walled copper looks pretty old - surprised it wasn’t imperial. Do you know if there are any issues pressing old imperial pipe?
Yep would have been 60’s/70’s I think…..
Not too sure about pressing onto imperial
Rapid blue to make rad tails in... Locktite is good but is a bugger to clean off.
That’s the one
🤘😎🤘 Over 20 years using crimp Bud knew you would take to it. 👍👍
Evening my good man
@@MJTiffPlumbing Evening Buddy, have you got a set of the angled jaws yet? 👍👍
Not yet however I’m heading to Ireland with Pressit UK in a few weeks to the HQ…. So I’m gonna try and bag a set😉
@@MJTiffPlumbing Say hi from me Bud 🤘😎🤘
Ime the same as you mate dont know why but just don't trust that rapid blue. I am a convert to the 55 though. Just old school i think. Top content mate keep it coming
Thanks David….. yep I like the feel of something in the threads
Hi Mark
I think the “ stainless steel “ pipe you referred to early on in the video was a silver coloured type of zinc based stuff used as an alternative to copper in the 1970s
I remember it well we used to come across loads of it here
It was fuckin shite too , used to leak everywhere on the joints if you so much as looked at it 😂
Nice finish to that job there mate 👍
Hahahah yep it was a nightmare wasn’t it
@@MJTiffPlumbing Back in the bad old days, no speed fit , no press 😱😂
Hey mate, nothing to do with this vid but where did u get the foldable buckets to catch the rad water? And is that wat its properly called ? Cheers bud
Amazon mate…. “12L foldable bucket”
Its un-nerving using the liquid blue stuff first time. Not had any leaks with it yet though tbh
Yep I know what you mean
I’ve a bottle of Loctite 577 in my tool bag which I yet to find the balls to use. 🤣 I’ve pretty sure it’s past its Best Before date now..
I know what your saying
What is a trimmer?
A joist
Nice little light but don’t wash it
Why not🤣🤦🏻♂️
Well not on a 40 wash but I do have a new Christmas tree ornament
Can you use your unilite discount in store?
Whatever you order online buddy 👍🏼👍🏼
Just curious what would you charge for that first job
What would you charge??
Talking about the rad and adjusting pipe work and hang new radiator £100-150
Bread and butter jobs for a change Mark.
Indeed mate….. makes a nice change
Proper copper mate
Thanks buddy
How much did you charge ?
What for??
@MJTiffPlumbing the 1st job mate
Supplied and fitted it was £260 I think
Plumbing has become DIY easy
🙄…… yer… so easy🤦🏻♂️
have you come across 20 thread copper yet that's thick stuff
What’s that???
@@MJTiffPlumbing vaguely remember this from common processes in college last year. Isnt that copper pipe thats like a threaded steel rod and all the fittings screw onto it. Meant to be rare as hens teeth now. German I think?
Never heard of it
I’ve come across it twice now it’s a threaded copper tube you can get adapters for it no idea why it was used though
20 thread was used in the late 1920s , early 30s all half inch pipe
So sad to see press fit being used so much over traditional soldering, gonna be a lost skill some day
I think soldering will never do away as it’s traditional…. But evolution of any trade happens.
Look at impact drivers…… you still use a screwdriver😉
tec7 her down mate lol
🤣🤣🤣
Old half inch, good for tat.
Oh yes 😉😉
My fault for wanting to watch a moaning customer. All caps “click bait” title.
Blame yourself 👌🏼
