Another great video lads. I'm just your average DIYer refurbishing my first house and you've been very helpful. Thank you 🙏

[PoEt]

You have a 60 years old apprentice following you around.🙏

No point in putting ptfe tape on the threads of a compression fitting as if it would leak it would still run down the pipe end, all it does is gives an unreliable feel for how tight the nut is, on the other hand you can put ptfe tape around the olive and this would seal.

I still need to do this in my bathroom ❤

[mikes]

Great tutorial, thanks i will do one in my bathroom.

[chubbyBunny]

Lads, thanks for the video. Just a quick one. Why do we need to do step two? If we’re changing one radiator and it’s already been capped off? And what if the radiator I want to remove is the one with the nozzle to to drain (like the one is step two) - does that mean I can drain my gravity system?

[Squert]

Best Channel i've found in a long time!! Keep it going guys

How and when are you going to replace the inhibitor now that you have emptied the system out.

[nonstop]

Great video would of used chrome pipe tho instead of copper on a chrome towel rail

[AdamLondon]

If I don't change copper pipes, can I just close valves change radiator to towel hanger and repressurise system after letting air out from hanger?

[GDoyle-id]

Cowboy central! I'm a heating engineer and if I seen ptfe on threads and that much push fit I'd make u drain it back down and rip it out!

[kcomfortsystemshvac]

Nice guy, , , , good tips, , , , thank mate appreciate, , , , I doing HVAC love doing some plumbing

[abdussalammohamed]

Thank you for the geat video, you've been very helpful👌

[raj]

Would you not have to open all TRV and lockshields for all radiators around the house?

[nigelchapman]

I'm happy you said DIY guide as your no plumber's 🤔🤔

[kasimraja]

😂....you 2 are entertaining. Thanks for the video.

[shahanazbegum]

Great vid, quick Q does the towel rail have to be the same width as the old radiator? Or can i just put in a new size hand towel rail? Thanks in advance

[LS-tddz]

You should be using boss white on the front of the olives. That tape on the threads does nothing.

[jamescarroll]

What a great video - I have just subscribed!

[RogerHolden]

Exactly what I need to do but have have tiles on the floor I won't be taking up so is there a flexible pipe option to use the existing ones? (I know it won't look as good).
