This is the best plumbing video I've ever seen.I'm a repair plumber.And these kind of things happened to us all day long every day.That was hilarious.This was so encouraging.Ha ha I really enjoy your real life experience
It’s wonderful how you repair if possible. Saving the threads on the filter was brilliant. Same with the valve repair. Most guys would have spent an hour or more looking for and replacing both taps. Good advice about drying up snd being tidy. Excellent new valve seating tool. Faster using the drill. Excellent work. Joe.
Dangit! I'm not supposed to be interested in watching videos that don't relate to my current house projects lol 😆 But my friend, your awesome delivery and personality force me to watch and I'm entertained the whole time. Cheers brother!! 😁
I caulked our tub earlier around a water splash gaurd, go to the store where they sell rubber tubing, find the tube that goes over the tip of the caulk tube, buy 6’ length or whatever measure equivalent that you use and cut however long you need to reach and tape short lengths to the caulk tube, if that make any sense, it works great in any tight spots, especially around toilets
Hi, next time you need to remove the body of the tap as you just did, try a deep socket on an impact driver, it works for me and defo, no damage to the tap.🤔🤔
Make sure it's really dry, apply silicone, use a spray bottle with dilute soap water mixture spray over. use tool to remove in one saves the interrupted movement saves time. For tight areas that can't be removed use wet lolly pop sticks
4 inch striper with the blades is a beast on silicone. I wouldn't use it on acrylic though. Your to late on your new invention. I done it already twice for each head and thread locked 'em for a reverse polish mod. And another one for you James. Get 2 packs of monoblock tubular spanners. Cut the ends of so you have all 6 sizes and weld 1/4" square drives in the end. Chuck them in with your tap back nut gear. As well as a deep impact socket and 6" breaker bar. No tap has ever won against my makita baby impacker and this setup. And smack a back nut tubular spanner a little oval and that will hold any spout still. Just file the edges round over so no scracthy the chrome. BTW. My 22 year old wet vac is still going. I wouldn't say strong, but still going, LOL
I’ve spent hours f******** about with taps with customers who want to replace washer or say it needs reseating. I now just say it’s a new tap or call you!!! 🤣🤣
My way of redoing silicone is: Wallpaper knife, taking most of the silicone. Spray CT1 multisolve, wait for a few minutes, use that yellow scraper to scrape it off rest of the silicone. Big wipes, or any other cleaning wipes to remove all left overs. And you ready for application Off course everyone has his own way of doing things.
I've seen mastic guys with a selection of lolly pop shaped wood for them hard to reach areas. I think they dip in a cup of washing up liquid beforehand
I have that same tap reseating tool since I was an apprentice but instead of cutting the handle off, my old boss melted the plastic off with a blowtorch. Works really well with a drill though, makes quick work of those taps
Try using a heat gun it does something to the Silicone. Also perhaps a plastic razor blade?? And some CT1 Multisolve. Cut down a Silicone Spatula to make it thin
Use your backnut spanner to hold the tap still whilst removing glands, thank me later 👍. Also you can buy cross head tap revivers which would’ve been perfect for that job.
I have as good as no need or wish to have seen the techniques shown in the video, but I loved it start to finish. Thanks. I guess you never suggest customers change to a continental one tap system, which you no doubt see & enjoy on all your foreign trips - lose 50% of your business overnight😅
Sorry to break the bad news to you but I’ve been doing that for years. 😂😂😂 Got two with the handles still on and one I cut down and use in my drill. It must be something to do with the name James. 😜
I rekon it's the plasticiesercieserer in the crap washers you get now leaching into the magnaclean body that does that. You don't get that with fiber or infussed washers.
I’m really surprised that you don’t have the option to fit the tap reseating tool to a drill originally but instead you have to do the tool designers job. They could make the handle removable to give you the option.
Do you know what Eurovision is? Loafer does. Eurovision is a song contest on the telly, where people from different countries dress up in silly clothes, sing silly songs and then vote for the country next door.
OMG, new invention, Look up "drill reseating tool" How dose every plumber not know these have existed for 20 years? And Plumbtool sells packets of rubber shrouds so the your tools won't damage the chrome wear. First time I've seen the magnetic thingy, we probably don't have many of those in Australia.
At the end of the day, tradesmen do need to earn money, but not so much to sell their soul and screw those in need who can't afford it. Do it for the pride, within reason of course.
I hope you’re going back to sort out her dreadful oil line install. That’s poor from the oil installer. That vortex is definitely under ten years old. So how the hell was that boiler commissioned with a plastic tiger loop installed internally and the hoses outside the case? V poor.
You didn't use pipe dope jointing compound. You didn't rethread the pipe to cope for the lost threads due to sanding. You used a file to achieve a flat surface, madness. no pressure testing. Using blue roll not air to insufficiently dry before siliconing. Wrong angle and allowed blade to touch finished surface and scratched the bath. Didn't cut nozel to match profile.14:34 is atrocious work. Plumbing score 2/10, study more.
You ruined the taps by not putting cloth over the surface finish to protect them. You could have used plastic jaw wrenches. They are not compression grips, they are wrench pliers. You didn't resilicone the taps after moving them. Over grinded the seat, shavings down sink is not ok. 1/10, ruined the taps.
