    Commercial plumber req

    What is the start date for the works? Has a design already been done for the system?

    Apprentice

    As above really. Try and get some hands on experience for more than just a day or two. Its a big career change and it will be a significant drop in money too for the first couple of years at least so you need to make sure you are going to enjoy it.

    What we all working on this week ?

    I hate those ESI valves. I have fitted a couple of those cylinders which come with them and both have had a valve which has leaked from the spindle in about 2 years. Not impressed.

    What we all working on this week ?

    The advice is to go to work if you cannot work from home as long as social distancing can be maintained. I don't see a problem with still working as long as safety measures are put into place. People are still going out to the supermarket, pharmacy, getting petrol etc. Even items being delivered...

    54mm zone valve and auto bypass

    Based in South London. Yeah I've heard of Esbe valves before. Any suggestions for the auto bypass? Or I could potentially use a 3 port and use one side for zoning and the other for the bypass

    54mm zone valve and auto bypass

    I need to fit a zone valve to some 54mm copper heating pipework, I also need to fit an auto bypass. Can anyone recommend a brand to use? Also the best place to buy for the cheapest price etc. I dont do a great deal of commercial work.

    Any help with van insurance for young apprentices/plumbers?

    It’s a nightmare, van insurance is expensive as it is. Then any driver under 25 is also expensive. A combination of the two just means paying ridiculous money. I employ a plumber who’s under 25 and pay a fortune in van insurance.

    Radiators with small brackets

    Yes that was my fall back option if I couldn’t find a radiator. I was just sure there was one on the market, but I can’t find one. I’m sure the old centre brand rads had small brackets which were quite high up the rad. But this was about 10 years ago and I think they have changed since then.

    Radiators with small brackets

    The universal brackets don’t solve the problem. As they are just 4 individual brackets so they still sit as low down as normal ones. The mounting points on the back of the radiators are what need to be higher up. I seem to remember centre rads being higher up, but that was years ago and they...

    Radiators with small brackets

    I need to fit a couple of radiators in a property. The only issue being the skirting is about 400mm high and don't want the radiators looking ridiculously high. They don't want the skirting cut to accept the brackets. So the question is, what brand of standard radiators have brackets highest up...
