ROUTE COPPER PIPES UNDER A FLOOR - Job Report
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 09. 2024
- Today I have a look at routing pipes under a floor in preparation for a toilet installation. We look at how we've planned the job. How we've removed floorboards safely and how we've made sure the water is off and ready to work on. We also show you the soldering technique I use underfloor. If you need any more help, then comment below. Thanks!

i've literally just spent an afternoon with some floor boards up the amount of crap i had to clear out where previous projects have used the 'international dustbin'... (this included plasterers mess, heating engineer mess.. coffee cups, an 80s newspaper, mars wrappers, wire offcuts, nails screws, everything you can imagine.) i find this approach really insulting..
However, as always, great video, keep up the great work!
I’m glad not the only plumber with a gardening type kneeling mat! I also use a large gym mat when there’s space, can kneel on it, lay on it, chuck my tools on it and scoop them up in one hit.
Really good to see a real installation, and good to see you planning the work so as to minimise the time that the water has to be off. Excellent video. Thanks
That's what iut's all about mate!
I like your video. The only thing I dislike is throwing garbage in the hole, because when I have to repair something downstairs and open the ceiling and get all this garbage in my face. I usually try to vacuum whatever garbage is left behind by the other contractors. Just my opinion.
"that would require walking down to the van" **look of absolute doom on face** 🤣
Ahh you cheer me up! "Ear Googles", "Stink Bag". I'm so glad it isn't smellyvision. You do well doing these jobs and filming and talking us through it at the same time.
Thanks dude!
You run into the many of the same conditions and challenges I deal with here in Seattle, USA. There are more older buildings with brick and mortar in your area than we have. I like doing the remodels on older buildings more than new ones. It's interesting and fun to deal with.
I once found some old money in a joist bay of a 100 year old house. I gave it to the homeowners.
You ever found any thing cool someone hid away and forgot about?
Dude, I found some coins from 1700 in a house we were renovating! Plus I found a load of WW2 newspapers in a home once....loads of stuff over here!
Do you post about these findings on your blog?
Been watching your videos for a long time mate, and everything youve shown me over the years helped me get to where I am now :) thanks alot James
I have on many occasion struggled for ages with the tools I have at hand rather than go to the van and get the correct gear.
It's a bummer bro!
Vomit Man especially my van because after a succession of late finishes and quick clear ups my van in the back now looks like its been rolled down a mountain side and its virtually impossible to find anything....
SAME!
@@lordtobe2774 to be fair I never trust a tradie with a perfectly tidy van. Clearly got too much time on their hands!
I've learnt alot from watching your videos you explain things alot easier lol
Spot on, real life knee and lower back destroying work under floorboards with no room to swing a Big G! Defo feed that solder in. Small tear drop underneath = full joint, nothing wrong with that. Dont buy into the Insta obsession to make it look like there is no solder people, that doesnt represent what a good joint should look like 🛠
I believe a person has to look for the positive in ever task and it reflects to co workers and to the customers. When a customer then has another need, they will remember a positive and. Upbeat experience
Have a good day and smile
Bradley copper, you sir are a legend.
Great vid thanks. Good to see a real world install
No worries, going to be mixing it up over the next few weeks!
When lifting floor boards, number them. I use chalk as it's easy to see. Write a number on the cut board and on the part left behind. Can't get anything mixed up then.
No In fairness you have given some good advice to guys coming through . You do a good job 👍
NO NO NO, I didn't come here to sniff my fingers! You are so funny! Great videos - keep it up!!
Ref:- Labeling stuff so you get things correct. A very usefull tool especially for wiring but applies with pipes is taking pics of everything with your mobile. Great for reviewing stuff at break time too, amazing how many good ideas away from the actual job occur.
Pretty much learned how to plumb from you mate, I’ve been going it 6 years now.
Nice to see now I watch your newer videos that I’ve pretty much got the same tool collection as you.
You always make me laugh too!
Sometimes I fuss over whether I’m doing the best job I can, but frankly it’s all about getting the job done and having no leaks.
How would I book you to do some work for me by the way? Can’t imagine we’re far apart judging by your accent!
Another brilliant video. Thanks James.
Send it ! slam in the solder haha
cheers
Dave
True gent🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
This might sound dumb but I always number my floor boards.
Cracking job, nothing like working in a tight bathroom with you head around the stink pipe and bet its hot as well, laughed out load when you said about kneeling on the nail heads, nothing like rolling around the floor with some one watching you..
Mate you know!
I made a simple mistake once. In my own home, changing a toilet syphon. Turned off the water at the main. Emptied the cold system and closed the taps. Undid the cistern. Cold pipe now open ended, no local valve. I was mucky so decided to wash my hands using hot water. Oops. Ball valve opened in the loft and emptied the still full feed pipe all over the bathroom floor. I had to think fast while i had my finger over the pipe. Forgot the supply to the loft!
The battle of Normandy!
Hope you enjoyed guys! Had a great time doing this little video, there will be more to come on this little job! Please follow me on Instagram for more regular plumbing updates! www.plumberparts.co.uk/social.php?social=Instagram FANKS!
plumberparts. We all love you James plumber parts dood.
top work james loved the video.
Thanks dude!
Who would have thought watching a plumbing video, would be so funny! "Scratch your bum then smell your fingers" love it!
Thanks mate. Comments like yours mean a lot!
I just need to ask ,why you did not make the underfloor pipework really simple with plastic ,pipework and fittings,ive mentioned before ime old school,and would always prefer what your doing,in copper ,but you modern guys are supposed to fill us with confidence, with all the new plastic ,Thanks mate great video.
We use the same international dustbin.
James any chance you can do a video of bending a set with a 90 on the same length of pipe? And also a kick with a 90 bend that would be so helpful cheers👍
nice. old skool plumberparts vid.
Nice work James
If i want to upgrade my heating sysytem from 8mm what size do you recommend to go upto and could i use the plastic push fit pipe work for the full system. Great videos thank you
another great video James.
Nice
Scratch your bum and then sniff it. ... I actually died for a minute when you said that but it was more the double finger motion demonstrating the scratch method that killed me 😂😂😂 love this shit man 😂
Nice job mate and funny *real world* video too.. I HATE bathrooms... no room to work so planning is VERY important!...
Just one point... I was taught that cold pipes should ALWAYS be run UNDER hot pipes. From that Tee (which presumably fed your toilet), it looks like they ran the cold OVER the hot? Worth pointing out to any DIY'ers...
If you have rad pipes under a floor and when someone stands on them they creak, is that going to break at some point or are copper pipes durable?
What's the best way of getting the water out of the old pipes between cutting them and soldering the new fittings on?
He’s worried about burning the joist... bit late after he’s mullered a 4”by3” notch out for that waste pipe 😂
Jezza's back! Missed you bro! Toilet HAS to go there or I'm minced meat....building control will sign it off when we do the remedial....I'll even send you certificate!
Is there follow up video wanted to see finished article iv
Done hundreds of geberit frames in comercial jobs but never seen double one
Nice vid
Did you do the video of you fitting the toilet after
I must confess I still haven’t fitted it. The Mrs is GRUMPY!
Less said the better then lol
You should run those pipes in a snakey woo woo fashion just for giggles
Can you let me know what the frame you’re using for the toilet? I have to do the same in my house soon and was just going to buy to separate frames?
When can one actually 'let go' after you say Hold Tight?
It's been 5 weeks now 👍
Can you put the link for the toilet frame (2 toilets one frame)? Fanks, Great video as usual.
Hi mate, I've had to change my plans on that as the toilets/seats/buttons were too expensive....I will be doing a video on this job soon though!
Thanks, we are planning on doing a back to back toilet, so was looking at systems for that, if it is possible can you send the product number and make?
@@muhammed6758 Did you ever find this 2 toilet frame?
@@pauldunn no found other results called "water closet carrier"
@@plumberparts Hi James, could you let us know what you had intended to use? I think this double toilet frame might suit my project really well. Cheers!
Thanks James just going through similar at my home. Is it swearing to say what about flexible and push fits. I always have a hand sprayer about when soldering in flooring. Stops burning the place down and upsetting the customer.
Martin Winfield I think this is one of a few still using copper in unseen places. Good to see someone teaching pipework skills though.
how did you test for leaks after soldering? thanks
Do you ever thread pipe? Here in the US most of the gas is run in threaded pipe and I still install a lot of boilers using threaded pipe.
Commercial
Tongue lashing, oh nice
I'm always weary of putting my tool in a sharp edged and highly sprung gap.
flush all the bogs too, theres always a suprise pipe load.
lol. I know what you mean, I said that today why do we do this job, anyway I like the scratch and sniff.
I know it was already there, but that massive notch in a joist for a waste pipe is surely not what building regs allow. As it's on a joist that carries the weight of a full bath none too good either. From memory, large holes, such as that required for a waste pipe, ought to go through the middle of a joist in the "safe zone" and not be more than 25% of the depth of the joist. I wonder how many bathroom floors in the UK have got those massive notches. I can see why it's done, but to be avoided.
Sir I have a plumber from three years but I have no written experience plz tell me
15:57 look at the gut on that 😂😂😂
Summer gut...bought and paid for!
plumberparts get in shape tubby
I’m trying...but the pub is so much FUN!
Wow 👍 brother I'm Indian Plambar
The Big J. Quick question. My 4” stack terminates in the loft space like most new builds . But during my bathroom refit I want to move it . Does it have to go up to the loft space or can it be hidden behind the false wall where the toilet frame will be . Obviously it will have a valve on the top . Does it need a good hair supply for the valve ? The one behind you is only at waist height is that ok ?
My goodness James ! If you was on price you’d starve !

Just wondering why plumbers seem to use emery cloth for cleaning pipes instead of steel wool like they used to. Is there a reason?
hello could you guide me to any regs (UK) about installing copper pipes in concrete floors
Like!
like like
any glooves man((
James your LinkedIn says your a former plumber and heating engineer, is your goal now to get CZcams videos and do proper plumbers out of work?
How would he be doing "proper plumbers" out of work?
Plus remember to turn the hoover off when you are speaking..........
use hep2 if its hid
Don't put stuff under the floorboards 😡😡😡. Put it in the bin.. every board i lift is full of lazy workman throwing stuff underneath.. cigs packets , off cuts etc
