    Hey James your course is already available, I done my level 2 plumbing course in Bristol in a private centre, every video exam has you as the teacher from your earlier videos. I was like is this legal? I'm a fully qualified gas engineer and been learning from you for ages thanks for being you

    Gidday mate from the land down under. As a plumber myself, I enjoy watching plumbers around the world and I'm impressed with you pommy plumbers as your plumbing is similar to ours with a few exceptions. I'm curious as to what your plumbing codes allow DIYers to do? Here in Australia, we have regulated and non regulated plumbing. DIYers are only allowed to perform non regulated plumbing works. All regulated plumbing works must be performed by a certified fully insured plumber. I don't know what your insurances companies in the UK are like but here, they'll use every trick in the book to avoid paying out for damage to a dwelling. Nonetheless, keep up the good work....cheers.

    Great video!! Quick question - would you consider putting a little plumber’s mate under the tap between its base and the sink?? Just to hold it in place/seal it from the top?? We have kids and water goes everywhere. Hold tight!!!!

      Hi James. Sorry to ask, but at a dead end, honestly, i've searched high and low on YT for the answer. I need to widen the hole in the brick wall, from 100mm to 150mm, damn new AEG cooker hood didn't mention it was a 150mm duct on the listing and i don't have a 150mm core drill bit, or a drill 😂. Any chance there's another way of achieving it, or do i need to spend out for the right tools? Or if you have time, a video showing different options would be fantastic, especially as there is literally nothing on YT on how to widen a hole through a brick wall.

    Hello James, my concern is that what size pipe we use for bath tub drainage and sink. Is it 1 and half inch for each of them and 3 inch for toilet drainage.

    Very timely video, I'm about to try and put in a new Grohe kitchen tap this weekend. Realising after watching that I don't own a tap spanner (set or otherwise) - do you reckon there's any chance I'll be able to get away without one? I did however buy PTFE liquid and tape, but notice you don't mention anything about sealant - is that because you think they're unnecessary in this case? Cheers for all your videos

    • @tomsanders8714
      @tomsanders8714 2 месяца назад +1

      You need the box/tap spanners to have enough reach, especially behind a sink, which is deeper than a basin so harder to get at. Best advice I can give is go to a good local plumbers merchant. I got an inexpensive set from mine.
      PTFE tape over the olive or sealant on the pipe/olive won't go amis.

      If your old tap has copper pipes coming out of it cut them off with a pipe slicer and fit the isolators.
