P B Plumber The life of a jobbing plumber #97 

Been watching you for years pb I feel you seem to have found peace with your running and life from a few months back which gives me hope

Those Honeywell valves are bad now, you can tell the bad batches as the labels are stuck on crooked on the head and the yellow earth warning tags are not stuck on square. I changed 42 two ports on a block of flats HIU's and nine of them ended up buzzing loudly - the syncro everytime. Supplier sent out boxes of replacements and said known issue. Also had two other people I know fit them new and start making noise out the box. Probably not beating the poor kids that make them enough. Well done on your running aswell.

Pb don't know if you will see this mate but thanks so much for all your help.

Congratulations on getting your medals and I love watching you do you job I use to be a plumber until I broke my back and had to give it up.

Scrap magpie 🤣 24 years as a heating engineer, I still can't bring myself to use pressfit. Soldered all the way.

WoW great Marathon Medal 🏅 👏 👍

The Worcester simply switch flue offset is a game changer saved me a few recores haha.

Could someone explain to me why an unvented cylinder has been installed in a (presumably) small bungalow with probably 2 bathrooms at most? And not a simply a combi installation? Surely the customers have not got such a hot water demand to be needing to keep 200/250ltrs of hot water up to temperature? Plus there’s the cost to include

The fact you got the that drain off on the boiler to crack was a bonus. Took a 25 years old ideal classic off the other day, nothing was removing the drain plug. Heavy as, taking off the wall full of water!

P.B. Can you do one on balancing the radiators on my Heat Pump I opened them fully up to see if it makes any difference as the heat pump is a 17kW with a external pump so all the radiators are hot just costing a fortune, 125sqared meters 8 radiators all k2 and k3.I can understand your videos 10/10 haha you like that

Well done pete great video and well done on your medels 👍👍

Great job guys, I believe you can get lagging glue which bonds in seconds. That would help your joints so much. Thanks for sharing.

Can recommend the Hamburg Marathon. Not only because I live there but also because of the nice scenery while running

Amazing effort on the marathons PB. Another one in my bucket list. Are you happy for people to follow you on strata? As always, great video...inspiring.

Nice video

You need to get entered on some trail marathons instead of road, some amazing scenery. Coniston marathon in the Lake District is a great one 😊

hydro block halfway down cylinder, mega drain to replace or service.

I'm going to say it but that spark has ruined that job, and probably got paid more that both of you. You'd need to get NB in to tidy it up. Great looking job other than that.

Another great film Pete full of content. We'll done on the marathons 👏👏.

All that makes a nice Christmas bonus. If you have room to store it it makes a really great bonus.

I thought all the regs had changed now when changing boilers like 55c flow temps for rads etc

Good job. Irazola screwdriver is one of best made by Bahco. I see lot of sparky use but that sparky not really nice cable run. See a lot this days..

"it's French" "smells French" 🤣

Gas should be sleeved through wall, neat install

Top bloke is Pete. Wished he lived near South London Croydon and Bromley area.

Come for the plumbing. Stay for the plumber . Well done with the marathons 🫵🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

That's pretty much the same as our hot water flow even downstairs with the tank in the loft. But frankly given we're 100% electric and the water is heated by immersion heaters, I'm OK with it otherwise we'd use loads and it'd cost a fortune!!

What a boiler your taken out 💪💪💪. Taken alot more suprimas out tho and only third of there age

Great video Pete, been watching for few years now, first time commenting. Keep them coming. Congrats on the marathons. BTW I believe we share the same birthday 👍

Well done on your marathon success

That looked like a Potterton Profile boiler... I’ve still got the 50e chugging away like clockwork..... probably need to change it though ??

could of you not connected the shower booster pump to the cylinder hot outlet, boosted hot water on all taps?

Seen the flow before but no after!!

Great work again lads.. 🎉 well done on the Marathons Pete, you not fancy a Triathlon.. what model lazer lever you use?

Hey Pete, what's the gray pants you are wearing in your intro clip? Looking for some decent workpants, would you recommend any?

The ofcuts from the electrician was left for the plumber to clean up.

Baxi do make a similar adapter for the 105/duotec swap, but last time I bought one I think it was about £80.

Great video and fantastic effort with the marathons. Not seen those mini vent spiros before. I take it they are much better than the normal aav’s? Where do you normally get them from?

Bloody sparkies ruined that job for ya mate, keep up the great work PB.👍

Bit more hardcore than a marathon (not judging your fantastic achievements) but Man v Horse in wales. Worth a look, done it twice… epic.

Or buy a velocity pro gear hose bag , available in black or orange 😎

A Vaillant on Hive 🤦‍♂Top of the line boiler on a non-modulating on/off stat....

Irazola drivers were good ones

Great video as usual. I was wondering when you were going to itch or cough lol. Well done with the marathons no wonder can’t get in loft spaces must have legs like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yes I did have to look up how to spell it. Tidy job too by the way 👍👍

Spark’s screwdriver is a Bahco.

Hi Pete I know you are a very busy man, but I have been wondering what areas of the country you cover with your plumbing installations, thank you. PS keep up the running

Great work Pete. As a fellow gas engineer, you're attention to detail is top drawer. Also, I used to run (bad knee) but mainly cycle now. Do you have a Strava account? Would love follow your fitness journey

Have a look at the great wall of China marathon

Is the water main only 15mm ?

Is that an OX pipe slice?

Your not a plumber your a marathon machine 👍🏼

Pb plumbing .. excellent work sir.

Does anyone know what those ratchet pipe slicers are? I’d love some of them

Those screwdrivers are basically bahco

The sparky didn't have your pride in workmanship.

That lagging’s a work of art ! Fxxk Part L 😂

I carnt be bothered with scrap either. I give all everything to my scrap man. Rads, cylinders, pipe, brass everything. Too busy for dat sheeeiiit

Unbelievable that in this day and age you are not using weather comp. Very basic stuff

£100 quid for that copper??? Back in my day ( cough) it would have taken 6 months worth of tat to get a £ton !!!

Towel rail is open to much .. Its starving other rads .

🤘😎🤘

4 meters is alot

I think the Lagit are better tbf

I used to really rate Metabo but since Hikoki bought them the quality has fallen off a cliff.

Don't ever call yourselves plumbers and heating engineers, you're artisans !

Corr!

Your mic is really quiet, hard as fuck to hear what you're saying without blowing out my speakers

First ❤❤
