  • Sponsored by Abacus bathrooms, Part 2 of our bathroom renovation series and it's time to pull up the floor boards and see what lurks beneath for Roger to tackle.
    To be honest, Roger has been doing this for so many years, there aren't any plumbing or building problems he's afraid of.

    So suprised to find your channel! It's such a nice change to see correctly lit shots, a tradesman that is comfortable in front of a camera and a tradesman that isn't afraid to show when things don't go as expected.
    I just wanted to thank you for taking time out of your own working day to do these walk throughs. 👍👍 from me.

    Never gone through a pipe under the floor boards but I was on a job once where I was removing the floorboards , some of which had been nailed in place. Pulled one of the nailed ones up and set off a bloody monsoon! Seemed that the pipe was fine with the nail through it, it was only when I removed it that it turned pear shaped. Not much you can do to plan for that kind of idiocy! As always, good series Roger. Good to see you take the time to see the job done right. Yeh, time is money but taking pride in your work is right up there.

    Does it matter which way round you have the expansion coupling? My guess is the solvent weld end should be downstream.

    Now you see, if it wss me, when you turned the hot tap,to see if that was the pipe you cut, if id of done that the whole pipe full of water held under vaccum by the closed tap would of emptied out onto that grand piano...but not Rog...he is truly blessed! Haha

  • @bikerchrisukk
    @bikerchrisukk Před 5 lety +3

    Another brilliant video, always enjoy them. One (hopefully sensible) question, but when you were first fitting the expansion coupling, you were worried about the gap at the bottom, so you used that chamfer tool. Later on you said that the joint is designed to move with expansion. So am I right thinking that it's OK to have the gap if it's only temporary because it's expanding? Cheers again and keep 'em coming!

    • @SkillBuilder
      @SkillBuilder  Před 5 lety +2

      That very thought occurred to me. It is a contradiction and in truth I am in two minds about it so maybe a few more plumbers will chip in. Leaving the gap creates a trap and as the pipe is carrying mostly cold it would be better to shunt it up tight.

      @R-77 Quite easily. Will your Robert Dyas £9.99 Jigsaw (probably includes 50 blades) be able to stand up to a professional contractor grade German Jigsaw? Does it matter where they are made?
      The Germans tooled up to make quality for quality trades people. Quality costs money. You get what you pay for. Quality tools equal productivity which in turn makes money. You must know that? There are plenty of pony tools out there for you (from the far East) if that's your budget.
      Find me something better and cheaper and I'll happily switch.

      They are elongated so they have better than the 76mm equivalent. There is no problem connecting them to a stack because you can't induce a seal loss.

      Yes two basins fed into that 4 inch pipe with an air admittance valve at the top of the run. But I agree it was more a general point and probably not worth making in this instance. The most expansion comes from external pipe runs on a hot day.
