I’m a first year apprentice plumber love watching other ways of doing stuff!! Keep up good work mate!
Thanks for the support 🙌
Iam looking into plumbing and was wondering is it a good job?
@@turbo_tman5274 My agency is currently building free websites for a handful of people. Real websites, also there's no catch, I will like to know if you're interested
@@turbo_tman5274 they make decent money, you could be lucky and make 100+ a hour
@@way3918 that seems way to much , could be wrong let's s
Say he did 5 hours work in this video, he earned 500? You reckon?
7 years plumbing and never knew about the box spanners fitting together. Thanks mate 👌
i realize it's kinda off topic but do anybody know of a good site to stream new tv shows online ?
@@enriquebenson6919 depends on your country. Most TV channels have a catch up app so you can just rewatch the news like that. In Australia we have 10play, ABC iview, 9now, 7plus and probably heaps more
@@enriquebenson6919 fed
@@enriquebenson6919 I have a really great one
Enjoying the vids - especially as I grew up round them parts!
Enjoyed that buddy. Look forward to these videos 👍
Would be great to learn more about putting outside tap in. Would be handy.
Thanks, enjoying the videos
Great videos, thanks! I will like to see how you are doing electric work as well. all the best.
Oh dear, i wouldn't fancy placing those tools in the basin. I'd put a towel or something in there first, if one slips out of your hand it might cause a chip
Really good video. Cheers mate. Go more indepth with the jobs if you can👍🏼
Loved that bronze tap and waste 👌
You can use cooker hose bayonets on some hobs as the MI's let you. I would definitely do it in copper everytime just does not seem right for some reason on a hose!!!
Mira 722 best shower ever produced built to last ,from the 70s I think and many still going strong but you put it back together upsides down,lever at bottom so you can see the temp numbers😉
Great content bro! Love the channel!
Nice one! Great video!
Great stuff but wouldn’t put all me tools in sink that will end up with you paying for a scratched sink to be replaced.
Find the mains cut off anyway so you know where it is if your stop valves leak or are seized or crack as these have all happened to me.
As someone wanting to get into the trade it's great how you explain what your doing as your working
Thank you 🙏
Cool vid man, subscribed
If only all bath taps came out as easy 😂
😂😂
These are easy works, thank you. I want to see some of your work in commercial and industrial plumbing or central heating thanks 😌
I don’t do commercial or industrial unfortunately, there is many video I’ve posted where I do central heating though
@@SmartPipePlumbing Thank you for the videos you provide. I salute you. I follow what you provide. I am a technician in central, commercial and industrial heating, burners and boilers, all types of plumbing. I wish you success. If you have any communication account, write it to me so that we can benefit more. Thanks and good luck.
7:03 man some people have no taste, that tap is awful and is hilariously big for the size of that sink
Not for me that one either 😂
Just an observation mate. If you used a 22 mm to 15 mm compression coupling you would only have had to solder one elbow👍🏻
Sometimes you need to use what’s there haha
Well done, a new subscriber !
Thank you!!
Hi mate love the vid just wondered what size drill bits you used first to drill the pilot and second to expand the hole on fitting garden tap?
So I use 3 10mm,16mm and 25mm
Top vid
If the bath tap has a shower over it i would use loads of silicon to seal the taps into the bath or they will leak though especally if they have adaptor plates on the base of the tap.
If Installed correctly they shouldnt leak through
On a bath its not the normal hot left cold right, the hot is furtherest away from the side to stop children reaching it!
That’s not correct, British water standard state got to the left and cold to the right so blind people know which tap in hit and which tap is cold
good collection of jobs thanks
Thanks pal 🙌
Ah love it that's my future job still in college learning the trade... Good work matey
how is it in college
How's college
@@addi8274like school but with older people
would like to see wiring of the pump please
Never seen a gold coloured tap like that before. It might be from Tutankhamun's tomb
neither have I but I think they look brilliant
I believe he is from Manchester. If I’m right slap the like but bad for an American. Job well done
I’m offended I’m from Leeds
@@SmartPipePlumbing sorry that was my second guess.
Mira722 oldie but goldie built like a tank still lots going strong yet
It’s even only it’s Leonard 722 before Mira took over them. I reckon it was atleast 40 years old
whats that flexible plastic bucket you're using mate?
Kenya 🇰🇪 🇰🇪 fans watching
Love it!!
Nice one 👍
Hi from Canada. Enjoy your video. As I am a HVAC Tech, I enjoy seeing how work is done in different countries. My question is why do you have a pump on a shower? I've never seen this before. Thanks for the video. Cheers
There's isn't enough pressure in the system for the hot and cold so the pump increases the pressure giving the shower more power when in use 👍
Thanks for the support, the water pressure is really poor due to it been on a gravity fed system. So we use a pump to boost the pressure.
Hi Paul any chance I can message you somewhere I’m a plumber looking at immigrating to Canada from uk
@@pauldeighan4626 Yes no problem at all.
Hi bruh i m in canada too how much a HVAC tech make ?
Currently in uni doing a degree; I’ve done a bit of work experience in an office and I’m slowly starting to realise hoe unfulfilling it is. Im thinking of starting a plumbing course afterwards because i want to be able to do stuff with my hands; i want to do honest fulfilling wori
I would say go for it, you will love it, everyday is different
This comment is actually crazy, because I am in the exact same position now studying psychology in my 3rd year and just started to realise how miserable I’ll be just sitting behind the desk or by listening to loads of problems. Hopefully I’ll graduate and probably start a plumbing course too
5:11 Did all your tools in the basin leave black friction marks? Also be carefully with them ceramic discs they will chip the basin if dropped in to the basin towel or dust sheet in basin starting work would prevent this
Luckily no, but thinking back I should have been more careful
Do you not need to sleeve the outside tap from freezing & filling the cavity?
Always put isolation valve on the inside to isolate the water in the winter to stop freezing.
@@SmartPipePlumbing thanks for reply, didn’t know if it was a requirement to always sleeve pipe passing through cavities. Cheers
I’m probably getting confused with gas regs !
Great video
Thank you pal
Nice video. What's the bucket you use on the shower pump bud?
Foldable bucket on Amazon think there about £12
I need some GENUINE advice, I've done the main gas courses, BUT the plumber I knew has died (covid), as soon as this covid pandemic calms down (Omicron now), I'll do my gas safe assessment (assuming I pass) what do I do ??, I have NO EXPERIENCE it's VERY unlikely someone will take me under their wing so I can learn/get some experience (it was hard in enough finding the plumber who died), any advice from you would be VERY MUCH APPRECIATED, (I've already got the veto bags and MOST tools whilst I was doing the gas course E.g. gas flue analyser , wrenches, spanners, screwdrivers ect... ect... (no a van yet )
❤❤❤
Hello. Great video. How much do you maje a year doing this sort of work?
Everybody is different and it’s regional aswell
I recognized the street in dewsbury . Are you from this area cos we’re always needing a plumber?
I’m not from dewsbury but do cover the area, if you ever need anything let me know
@@SmartPipePlumbing cheers pal
What would be your advice starting out i have no qualifications, im saving for a plumber course.currently working at a warehouse and its draining my sanity
Check out my top tips for apprentices video
Good video as always pal. Can you fit a shower pump on any system?
Pretty much, depends of the system and the pump you fit
Cheers for getting back to me 👍🏻
Iv got a combi boiler but the water pressure in the bathroom isn't that good s I was thinking of fitting a pump to help
It’s hard to say as if it just your bathroom it could be the plumbing itself that’s restricting the flow rate, or possibly the fixtures such as your shower or you taps
Cheers pal
Hello guys / plumber
Dude would you not get a head mount for your phone? I watch a lot of tradesman channels and for people who work with their hands it makes zero sense to hold the camera. Makes the job look super awkward and is less enjoyable to watch. Love your channel by the way. Keep up the good work.
Glad you like the channel I’ll look at getting one
Reinstate the water, in other words, bung it back on and hope for the best
Good
Best wishes from Pakistan mate...
Want to be work with you if i came to UK.🙃
Not currently look to take anyone on, but maybe in the future
starting college in september, plumbing, any tips? 💪
My best tips are get as much experience as you can and always think 3 steps ahead
Always ask questions, I'd rather have an apprentice ask me lots of questions mo matter how silly or stupid they are. The more keen you are the further you will go.
Get a good set of knee pads if you don't you will wish you had by the time you get to 50
Be prepared and try pass all test I mean it if u don’t u have basically failed even tho u got more chances I ducked sup in first year I’m still here out of 7 tests I passed 2
@@ibrahim.s484 What happens if you fail the tests? Do you get resits? What do you think you will do?
i’m 16 and going to collage for plumbing in september, any advice mate?
Hopefully doing an apprentice tips video at some point so keep an eye out for it, if you subscribe and click the notification bell you’ll get a notification when it goes live
Same for me pal. Best of luck!
Wish you hadn't time lapsed the outside tap as it looks like you do it the same as me & there's lots of dodgy videos on CZcams doing it wierd & wonderful ways
Next time I get a outside tap to do and I can get the footage I’ll do a step by step as had a few people ask
Anyone know how many years a level 2 plumbing apprenticeship is and are there regular exams or only near the end of the apprenticeship?
So standard level 2 is 2 year and you will have course work and do exams throughout the year
Could someone with a mold and dust allergy be a plumber if they wore a mask / respirator?
I’d say installation work might not be the best shout but if you maybe went in to maintenance you might be okay
Give us a like mate :) cheers
I mean if your a qualified plumber and ur soldering the pipe outside which is in my opinion easier n it looks like that i wouldn’t be saying never mind lol 😂
Always one isn’t there, no ones perfect everyone makes a mistake or lets a snot run every once in a while
Its only a os tap its not brain surgery never mind
im 18 and looking for a career to pursue, i like the sound of plumbing but i have no clue how to go about becoming one lol. could someone tell me if its better to go college first or just to get an apprenticeship straight away?
If you can get an apprenticeship I’d highly recommend it
I think i can be a plumber
Do it mate 🙌
Whats the orange bag/tub called
Folding bucket
🙈🙈🙈🙈 tools in a ceramic sink
why is it only a single impeller pump?
it seemed like the pump was on the mixed (outlet) side of the shower . never seen it done that way before but i guess it must work
Yeah it’s not something I’ve seen done before either, we was just going a straight swap. Works quite well to be honest.
@@SmartPipePlumbing I suppose it's all down to cost to with the likes of the Landlord or Property Owner, plastic pumps generally give up after a few years, obviously in that regard it depending on use, have an apartment rented and a plastic pump packed up... my Letting Agent who also had a rental property suggested. that the Plumber told him i should upgrade to Stuart Turner, Bronze pump with a 'Five Year' Warranty best choice i ever made sleep a lot easier...Lol...
Is it possible to find job after college? Without apprenteship, real job for real serious salary.
Yes but experience is key
I have over 10 years experience in India as a plumming. Am I qualified apply a plumper job in UK
Not sure it’s the standards will be the same you’d have to do some research
Is this a good career?
It’s as good as you make it, it’s not for everyone don’t get me wrong
