No - It wouldn’t work - its very basically a coupling with holes in and would need to be downstream of the douche valve ie on the hose to the spray but then regulations say DC interuppter needs to be minimum 150mm above spill over level of WC and and at same time when you switch on douche water will come out the DC interrupter.
Interestingly and just a notice(your videos are excellent by the way) i watched another video and the guy removed the rubber seals and then compressed the pressfit fitting and water pressure tested it and it didnt leak.so the seal is a belt and braces addition, where the push fit needs the rubber seal for a water tite seal. I have learnt some much from your excellent contain and appreciate it,as a maintenance tech,i am not an out and out plumber,but you videos give me the conferdance to do jobs well.thanks
For xpress at work we have to mark it with their depth guage and draw a v through it to satisfy the warranty conditions. I doubt they'd ever pay out anyway but it's something to consider. Solder is reversible whereas press isn't, but you can tweak press slightly after pressing. That rems gun is good, but it's heavier than the novapress style guns. Press also opens up mlcp, we do a lot of uponor at work.
Thanks for the video. I'd say it is the future of copper pipe installation - neat, quicker, less dangerous than soldering - only it's more expensive for the customer and fitter. I have the exact REMS, good to see it being worked, I am right in that it only takes M profile fittings? No other profile press fittings? Not like you can ask for any press-fit fittings? No taking away from the viability of solder fittings and installation, it's been around longer than the dinosaurs. Skilful, and neat, and hard to beat, stood the test of time. I do like coming across old solder installations still holding their own in walls or under floorboards, wherever, but to make a choice, the press fit would be preferable for me, particularly now I have invested in a REMS!!
Thanks, fella, have been enjoying your videos, absolute bare brass training for a plumber. I prefer the scissor benders, I'm use to them, even though they carry and require more attention than the Monuments. I've got both the 15mm + 22mm, and the 22mm needs a gym membership. You have add-on threaded ends for the 22mm only, though they fit the 15mm as well, but without them the 22mm is more difficult. I have used them to get use to them, but it's the scissors for me more commonly, can throw in a pipe practically with little prep, so use to them, and I've had them for years.
Julian I've watched all your previous pipe bending videos and these more recent ones. How you explain and demonstrate how to bend by eye is such an easy method. James from Plumber parts and PB plumber pipe bending series are also good examples, plus Derik from TomKat gas training. All good channels for any plumbing apprentice to watch.
Absolutely help me this as I’m disabled by hearing problems and I’m going to a private learning centre of bricklayer through Sandwell college and the trainer not give us hints and not any idea and not any brief so I get ideas what’s to do in real but help others a lot and not even discuss or not I can ask any questions as playing loud music and telling we not down the music when you asking or discuss something about bricklayer learning as there is music on construction site and I get to know from you that’s 65 mm is brick size nd 10mm mortar (=75mm ) and then level , gauge and plumb learn from you and I’m doing since three week to that centre , big shame on that trainer
When the Monument benders first came out I was very impressed. But, having to carry two sets of benders around in the car at all times put me off. I use the yellow Hilmor benders too, and have a Faithful carry bag that I carry them in. A marker pen, 2 steel rules, set square all fit in with my bender so I have everything I need to be able to bend what I require. A handy shoulder strap to carry everything into the job which leaves me hands free for my other tools. The cost of both 15/22 plus the required extended arms is nearly 3 times the cost of my Hilmors, which I’ll be keeping thanks, they’ve served me well for decades, and I don’t see the need to replace them.
Another vote here for the old Hilmor Bender, totally agree with what’s been said. The Monument ones are a PITA, the straps don’t hold the two parts together, needs a better design. So you end up carrying 4 bits around. However, the wee 15mm one is dead handy to stick in your Tool Bag. No vice on-site or in Mrs Smiths house, in fact you don’t need anything other than a Tape Measure, use McKoens Bend-Back figures or Trigonometry.👍👍
Yay ...Thanks for the video.... just started using the masters and I have to admit does take a bit of getting use to ... and now I really do love them !! . its a bit like having an iPhone and then going over to android!!!
Wow you're smashing it read my mind with these benders. I'm going to make them pipe bending example boards behind you almost like art trophies you can make. Id like to see more of them I like learning by doing and making those boards are the way even a cheat sheet for people still learning.Thanks.
Is there a way to do really small offsets, where a rad just doesn't line up with pre-existing pipes? It looks like the 60mm offset you did was about the limit, otherwise the bending tool doesn't have space to hold pipe between 1st and 2nd bends.
