Chrome pipe bending and filing

[jaydebruyne]

Thing that annoys me is putting tools down in a job, you go to get it and it ain't there.. you search for 10 mins every where and it's in the same damn spot you first looked at.. does my head in lol

Normally after you bought a new one

Done that before a few times! That why I keep 2 of most tools, - if I can't find one spanner, I will probably find the second one and then stumble upon the first in a few days.

Bending looks a lot better and shows the customer that you take pride in your work.

Also shows your a plumber not a handy man

The work of a handyman and compressions.. lol I lowered it yesterday and changed the valves to straights and put a couple of offset bends

And I think I see cheap isolating valves on the pipes as they come out of floor? Absolutely hate them and definitely not for heating pipes

I agree with that Sir. Horrible things and more often than not useless and leak !
I never use them on heating systems.
They seem to be on everything at the moment.

I totally stopped using them even on cold supplies to toilets etc. I only use the good quality full flow valves on hot & cold supplies and I never use valves on heating pipes unless lever or gate valves that are there for good reason.
Too many DIY or " I am a plumber" type people doing plumbing who have no idea really. The isolating valves just makes their job easy to stop water flowing
