Dear Sir: Thank you for the lesson on how to join pipes together. Although I may never do plumbing. You taught me an emergency life skill, in the event a plumber was not available. Also, I like the way you were patient presenting the material. Thanks again. Katie

Thankyou Roger. I've been watching and saving your videos as tutorials as I'm about to renovate and refit my bathroom. This will be the first time I've attempted a bathroom and I'm looking forward to the challenge. I gutted and refitted/plumbed a kitchen at my last property and it was very satisfying success. Now, armed with many hours of book research and top tips from the informative user friendly videos you offer, I'm geared up to go.

Thank you so much. I am seventy this is my first attempt of simply putting an additional outside tap using a T piece. I know plastic is simper but compression looks sturdier. Wife not impressed with water spraying everywhere after it had been installed 5 days without a leak! . I had used brass olive instead of copper. No amount of white tape would stop the leak! Thanks to your video olive now secure on the pipe.

@barnabywild2215 3 года назад

We had a hidden leak behind the tiles of our electric shower - caused a hell of a lot of damage to plaster and the entire cubicle and tiling had to be ripped out to get at the leak and dry out the walls. We couldn't get a plumber interested in our comparatively small job. In the end I had to tackle everything myself - a significant amount of between floorboards re-routing of copper pipework to accommodate a standalone fully enclosed shower cubicle. Your plumbing videos gave the the knowledge and self-confidence to do a very professional looking job (certainly better than much of the original plumbing). Now I've successfully cut and rerouted mains pressure water pipes under floors with no leaks at all I'll probably never feel the need to call out a plumber again! Many thanks.

@vistron888 6 лет назад

If my memory serves me correctly JG also state not to re-use their fittings if you unlock the nuts. But I've always ignored it :-) Many times when you release the pipe the insert stays in the fitting and you have to crack it open. Been using JG Speedfit since 2001 and even some polypipe fittings I got free and never had a single leak. Removed an old central heating system in 2011 where they'd used later rads with plastic pipe. They'd also not bothered to use fittings on half the ends pushed into rad valves.

@Al_Fel 2 года назад

Very informative and I learnt a few things. Especially at the end with the push fittings on the chrome pipe. One thing I'd like to point out though is locking the JG Speedfit pipes actually compresses the rubber o-ring to create a better seal.

Thanks - another great video. I need to remove a leaking isolator on a PB plastic pipe and I've only ever worked with copper before. I googled for a couple of hours before going to RU-vid and finding your video. I now know exactly what to do and what parts to buy for the job. One thing worth mentioning is the use of the copper push-fit fittings. I've not used them myself but I 've always imagined they'd be useful when working on existing pipework that's on display and can't be effectively dried out enough for relaible soldering.

@SkillBuilder 4 года назад

I have had a lot of bad luck with those copper push fits. The demountable ones are ok but the others are a one shot deal and you have to cut the fitting out if they don't go right.

@Slaphead4472 3 года назад

Superb video, thanks Roger. I'm on here because my loft flooded at midnight last night after one of those puch fit plastic fittings came off. Things always seem to go wrong at the most inconvenient time! It was joining plastic pipe from the boiler to the copper pipework in the loft. I am now going to replace them all with compression fittings and thanks to you, I now know to get some liners for the plastic pipes and will use the PTFE around the olives. Thanks again for helping me out.

@SkillBuilder 3 года назад

I am sorry to hear about your flood. The pipe from the boiler should be copper and should not change to plastic for at least 2 metres. It sounds like yours is the other way around.
