Great tutorial, very clear and precise. I’d never heard of the part before and after taking the u-bend off a couple of times and tightening etc, I thought I’m going to have to use silicone. Saw this video and couldn’t believe the part cost me £2.50 and worked a treat! Brilliant, thank you so much 👍
This is such a useful video. I have already used it to fix upright metal verticals to support a lattice fence on a garden wall. And I’m using it again today to work out how best to fix the oak timbers Ive had cut, to make a fireplace surround. This latter project needs to look good, as well as fix tightly and safely, so I’m going to set the bolts a little deeper than you suggest, and find another video to teach me how to make oak dowels to cover the bolt head and blend with the timber. I’ve also got to be very careful not to split or crack the old bricks. Thanks for a very practical video - and for covering the “do I drill into brick or mortar?” issue, which I had wondered about. I really appreciate the no-nonsense presentation. I loathe the music, logos, and usual nonsense in so many folks’ channels these days. I hope your channel goes from strength to strength.
As a general set of rules… On soft copper pipes, use a compression insert. On hard copper pipes you don’t need the insert. On Pex pipe you always need the compression insert. On Pex pipe you should use special compression rings (olives). When you tighten the fitting, do it all the way by hand, followed by ONE full turn using a spanner.
Good idea. Maybe I’m missing the point, but a smaller drill bit will easily remove the plug without the need for screwing and hammering to sink it into the brick.
Amazing amazing! Bit of a elimination game for me. Changed the bottom entry fill valve with the float bit on but was still dripping. Took the flush mechanism off like your video and the seal has turned to mush and now i have black rotten rubber all over ha. Ordering new seal now. The wife will be pleased
@@TheDIYGuy1 Sky's the limit. You could build another where it's a plant preparation table. All sorts of cool things, you could build the same spec as that planter but the table is a lid for storage underneath where you house all your fertilizers, or again garden equipment.
I don't think those push on type joints are safe. When you use the crimping tool the copper in the crimp joint is compressed around the wire so giving a good deal of surface to surface contact between the outer copper cylinder in the crimp to the wire. In the pushfit type there is only a miniscule amount of surfce to surface contact. So if you are using a peice of equipment with a heavy load such as a kettle or electric fire, then all the current has to pass through a small amount of connected metal. Result - they will heat up.
Thank you so much for this tip we were getting really frustrated with trying to hang our blind and we’re about to give up we thought we had wasted our money buying these blinds till I found your video it worked fantastically 😊 … thanks again you stopped us from getting a divorce! 😂
Hello from Canada...great video!!! A tough winter here and my fence did not stand up well! Just chatted with my neighbour and he suggested YT, glad I found you...Cheers!!
Great end result and brilliant explanation!This has encouraged me to make my own gate. I just need to get everything together now and get the job done.
