How to clean old radiator tail and fit new valve!  

700 and counting

974, almost hit 1k comments from backseat plumbers!

Those would be from the "armchair experts". I think it's always the same 528 people and they are experts at EVERYTHING.

if this was finland, it would be wrong. I wouldnt trust that

My boss would be pissed that he doped the compression fitting. Real plumbers don't do that... Unless it leaks and you can't get it to seal. I've done it once in 4 years. And if I could have cut it off and installed new without getting into the wall. I'd have done it right then too.

Me too, and I also learn some tuings I am expected to know in my job (I'm not plumber) Still useful knowledge in general for construction workers

Can’t have too clean of a copper piece 😂

Cant you see that he demonstrate how not to do first with his finger. Then shows you to heat it to get it done.

You are absolutely correct!!! BEGINNERS!!!! More trouble than they are worth!!! I would have fired this Tech!!!!

came here to make the same comment

You are so right, my friend ! 😂😆🤗😊❤️🖖✌️

Hey lead paint is the most durable best covering paint. That's pretty much ever existed. That's why commercial boat paint and traffic paint both contain lead

@@masjuggalodoesn’t mean it’s good for homes…..

@@reeddeer793 definitely not. I was just saying it did do what it was advertised to do. Plus it's well documented the efforts the lead industry went to and order to keep people from understanding how harmful lead was. I think the tobacco industry is close. I'm not sure who put forth more effort

@@masjuggalo tobacco industry put in WAY more effort in convincing people cigarettes were healthy afaik

Ye I hadn't seen it ever until about 2 months ago. Now it seems small creators do it to have people comment on their videos so they get more views.

​@@basdewildt7973yes !! It's the same thing with every type a video, doing it wrong for a lot a bad comments, better visibility and more money... This world is f*cked up 🤮

I thought it was an american code to do. Here in europe we also dont use add ons with comp fittings. Its useless. Since the nippel bites into the pipe and fitting itself creating a bond no add on can imitate or make better.

Why is there always some know-it-all moaning about paste on compression fittings? He obviously thinks it's worthwhile to do

And every compression manufacturer cannot guarantee a perfect and consistent delivery of their products. Experienced plumbers know that sub standard products hit the market and we have to deal with the fallout. I’d advise every plumber to ignore the arrogance of these manufacturers and follow your experience.

Some are done like that and manufacturers recommend it but most people dont like the ugly pipe up one side.

A lot of radiators here in the UK are designed for bottom inlet and outlet. It's threw me off for a while because I couldn't figure out why, when the heating kicks in, the rads still heat from top to bottom. I then found out they're internally baffled so they basically act like a top in/bottom out rad.

Ну всё зависит от устройства радиатора, и вообще с чего вы решили что он делает именно впуск горячей воды? 🤔 да и всё равно так и так будет работать - так как горячая вода всегда будет стремится к верху радиатора и по мере остывания холодной опускается на низ к обратке, выталкиваться новыми порциями горячей воды сверху

it's been a month now and I'm still waiting for this guy's answer.

The other way.

I was thinking the same thing

HOLY LORD I'VE SAID THIS ON EVERY VIDEO THEY KEEP FUKIN DOING IT YOU DON'T NEED DOPE ON COMPRESSION FITTINGS RAHHHHHHH

Man that shit just rattles my ass, pisses me tf off to no end...

Some plumbers are addicted to the pipe dope

Jointing compound on compression fittings is the best ❤

Hes a bit rough mate

Not true at all. Stupid people think you don't put pipe dope on compression fittings. Pipe dope lubricates the metal so that you get a smoother turn to tighten and the bevel also seats against the nut much better. You're completely wrong and it makes no sense not to use! In fact. Give me one good reason why not to use dope on compression fittings other than you were told it doesn't need it

​@@jackofalltrades123 actually it's stupid ppl who think you need dope on compression fittings.

@Chilldil86 I gave you multiple reasons why it's better now give me good reasons not to use it.

​@@jackofalltrades123because the manufacture of all compresion fittings warns against it. But let me guess you dont trust that either right? Nope lets ignore the maker of the product.

@zentrobi1548 yes! Absolutely ignore them! I use uponor religiously and I do things they say not to do either and it works just fine. Just because they produce the product doesn't mean they know all about it. I'd say the people who use their products know more about it

I think his work could be better, but he certainly did solder the top. He soldered it from the back side and you can see the flow in the front. You dont actually need to drag the solder around the fitting

Right!!! Wtf

The bottom soldering would leak to cuz wrong way of solder 😅

@@przemyslawpierzga4822 actually that doesn't happen, there is a ridge in the middle of the coupling that both ends of the pipe sit on. If any solder flows around its minimal. It doesn't matter though because the guy soldered the top before the bottom

@@JfkNeedsWindWallidk it looked ify i like to see a nice bit on top of the fitting it just makes me feel better and when you clean it it looks better now is hard to tell from this angle but pipe dope on compression fittings a no no

Mate sometimes i try to tell customers its not needed to ptfe on a faucet. Since the hose itself has a rubber and if its secure enough it cannot leak... but yea they have experienced the ptfe being the fix 😂

@@eymenvannoord4841 If anything, it make the collar bind and the "secret" rubber seal harder to seat on the face.. Some people should not even play with their own hose..... 😂

He's not put the paste on to seal it . He's put it on the lubricate it to tighten up easier .

@@TheRaceface22 well thats even a dumber purpose than i thought.

​@@eymenvannoord4841 Everyone has their own way . I don't use it on new pipe and olives .....but on the heating filters that we fit , the olives are mega tight to get a good turn on them . This stuff works great for that and you can get a much better tighten on them

My dad taught me the same. Always use ptfe on the 1st connection into the rad.

Who wants boss white on there fingers. Times have changed

Boss white or Dixon's white .. been using it from the age of 18 ... 65 now and still using it .. master plumber ..

@@markfoster6110master bater?

Common sense

And this is why I don’t post - so much negativity!

As a commercial refrigeration technician, the sealant on the olive was unnecessary and disappointing... 😂😞

What's the difference between a master plumber and a plumber

​@@noelgreene4265a master plumber is someone who has at least 5 years of experience and has taken and passed the master plumber exam. Master license is required to pull permits and do legitimate work that is inspected by the local authority. People who call themselves plumbers who don't have a license are handymen. By law they are not plumbers.

As a Journeyman, I cringe at the unreamed pipe and dope in the compression fittings. Both are likely to create a leak in the future.

As a master bater I did enjoy that

It’s Just a regular pipe cleaning brush. You just cut off the handle and stick into your drill

Thanks mate

Drives me nuts when i see this

Paste always, its belt and braces, this is the way 🤘😎.

​@@elwittinio2865No, it's just not needed, these compression fittings are designed to be put together dry.

Use the dope, dont smoke it! Using a compound lessens a chance for a leak, a cross thread, and makes it easier 25 years from now to remove.​@ferrumignis

@@ferrumignisdesigned maybe, but the reality is these companies do not guaranteed consistency of products. Sub standard products hit the market all the time.

Appreciate that mate!

I thought he was only a apprentice.

Big difference between the two, plumbers do domestic heating ( toy town) heating engineers do the real stuff, hope this clears things up for you

Тоже хотел про это написать.

Most thermostatic heads are bi-directional now so orientation is not an issue (in my country anyway)

Ничего она и ни кому не должна, откуда вы это берете?

Why do they make it then? What's it's actual purpose? Why is jointing compound in every plumbing merchant? it's perfect when you have it on an reactive job but you don't need it on a new installations. The compression nut, compression olive and fitting all work together to create a watertight seal against the copper pipe,

@@deano187xtrue. It’s good to use on old copper.

He does. Watch it again... but slower

cmon now...he gave it a dab...

the solder ring is inside the sleeve (2 of them). When you see a little bit of solder start to drip at the bottom it has done it's job

You don’t actually solder do you?

No he didn't. He applied the solder to the back. The solder runs around a fitting. This is how u solder neatly. I've being doing plumbing for 16 years. I guess u havent

Yes he did

Didn’t forget, just needed a tad more solder.

I got to jobs 16 years on and still good mate

@@mmplumber it used to come standard on some fittings. They have stopped doing it now .that must say something. Peglar rad valves. Been in this trade 38 year. Show me how to solder. copper pipe to a lead pipe. Old school skil. And then I'll call you a true plumber

@@pauljenkinson2870 Sad that new houses cost a fortune and are filled with plastic pipe and crap fittings, containing hundreds of O Rings.. All to make the lazy plumbers job quicker and easier. I wish young plumbers would learn to solder again, instead of playing with their phones....

Thanks

What would’ve impressed you?

Maybe one day 👊

@@nicholasphillips5406 when soldering fittings.feed solder at the back of top fitting. Capillary action will draw the solder. And wait for it to show, at the bottom, of the fitting. Cleaner joints. And PTFE. Instead of threadlock. And using a cantilever when you're tightening joints.
