I'm Mark Tiff..... Proud owner of M J Tiff Plumbing and Heating. I've been trading on my own for nearly 18 years, and in the trade 28 years....
Just filming, vlogging and sharing my day in day out life of a self employed plumber in Warwickshire doing what i do. From Bathrooms to radiators and stop taps to call outs.....what ever i get up to i will try and get on camera and show you....
Speedfit City! Would be great for new uploaders to see how much work goes in Mark, behind the scenes. I cannot fathom how peeps watch and not subscribe. It's FREE people. It can only be they are scared of thinking otherwise?
Yes Mark, a behind the scene insight would be nice, just so people can see how much work is involved, and still having to do the bread and butter work 👍🏾
Yep…. Indeed it does, that’s what I said in the video… great idea 👍🏼 They do want a hot feed as that’s why they have this hot and cold outside tap 👍🏼👍🏼
Not seen a boiling tap set up like this before, everyday is a school day though....No one knows everything Dont forget to hit that Subscribe button to not miss out on any videos that i put out
These are also standard in Canada, though generally just a single tap for cold water. I've seen them in varying lengths from about 8 to 16 inches long for differing wall thicknesses and cost somewhere between 25 and 50 dollars.
Both durations are great Mark, whichever works for the video you're doing I say. You have however got the Hozelock connectors on the wrong way round. 😂The one with the red ring is an auto shut off (AquaStop they call it), so wants to be at the end of the hose line. The other one is the one for the tap connector. Otherwise this means the customer HAS to turn off their water every time they want to change the accessory on the end - unless of course they don't mind getting wet.
@@MJTiffPlumbing lol. Good man. They'd have been a bit wet otherwise! hehe. Great videos as always, keep it up. As a DIY'er I shall be tackling a Stuart Turner pump following your guide. Keep putting it off as removing the outlet on the tank to fit the flange is making me feel nervous. Two day job in the summer in case it goes tits up and I need a plumber!! 🤣
Yeah - I fitted one of these ‘from fresh’ a few years ago. First visit, ordered one too short. Revisited again with a longer one, and was abit of a pain to get fitted. Can’t beat a separate hot and cold tap. Oh, and they’re a facking fortune as well 😅
Doesn’t help with that specific tray it states not to use a flexi on the waste and 90% of the ones I see when I’ve been doing pipework in the ceiling void below the fitter always seems to use a flexi lol
Hi Mark, I have seen one like this before it's a Woodford Model 22. They are good with a antifreeze design system. A bit pricey but you do get what you pay for. Good video thanks
You’re the first person that’s said they freeze up….. so many people saying these taps if fitted correctly are brilliant at not freezing up… and I can see why👍🏼
@@MJTiffPlumbing I've had a load of Bib tap checks lock up, 90% of the time I just removed them. It's pretty pointless anyway these days. I've seen American fit them type outside, some they even cut down the spindle length
Yer… the uk outside bib taps with check valves do freeze up….. however this video is about the US one that feature….. you lost me a bit with your comment 🤣….
@@MJTiffPlumbing sorry, I was just agreeing with u about check valve in bib taps. Like I said only seen this type on US vids. The 1 time I fitted hot and cold outside It was on a lever type tap
I’ve got one of these which we fitted to hose our dogs down about 7 years ago. you don’t need cut the pipe down like that, you pop the colours off the front of the taps and unscrew, which allows you to take each plunger out and replace rather than buying a new tap. If the pressure isn’t good, you can take a gasket out. I would have sealed round the tap rather than seeing exposed screws. Cheers
I live in the America and I have these Woodford Frost Free Sillcocks on my house. They are great. They shut off inside the house so they won't freeze. But 2 things. 1st make sure that the hose is ALWAYS disconnented when it's cold. 2nd when you instal them make sure that the pipes running in are level or as I did angle upwards so that there is now standing water inside after you shut off the valve. I originally didn't do my rear one and it would freeze close. But if you do leave a hose connected and it freezes the pipe will not leak until you turn on the outside valve.
@@MJTiffPlumbing FYI. These are rebuildable. You can get all new gaskets and even a new stem. The stem do come in different lengths because they facuets come in diffent lengths. I would also suggest a little Never Seize Compound on the end of the stem under the outside knob. They will seize together, different metals and will break the stem if you try to remove the handle.
MJ, like it, like always. Never seen one of them before, though you can have a hint it's foreign, namely American, from the controls. The Americans are accustomed to the gate valve handle types, I've seen some of their stop valves on toilet inlets with thick handles. They don't seem to involve stop valves with the slots for screwdrivers, or something straight. Though saying that, some of the European countries, Western European, sometimes use the same type handles. You know inside, I didn't note there are any check valves. Am I right? The supply to both pipes are separate, but they mix upon exit, and there's the hot supply, for whatever reason, getting to potentially get sucked down the cold cat 1 water.
