OIL COMBI BOILER INSTALL From start to finish
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- Day in the life of a plumber. Today I remove an old oil fired Grande combi boiler and replace it with a Worcester Heatslave combination boiler. I show the entire installation from start to finish including the plumbing pipework connections and try to explain the process along the way

Nice work as always Tom
Press fit is a nice finish
😎👍🤜
Thanks for the support as always Tony, press fit is clean but a nice soldered joint looks nicer I think
Great job Tom 😎
Thanks for the support as always Steve
Another good neat install, the electrics would be the bit that would phase me most!!
Once you get your head into it, there not to bad, I used to struggle, I might make a video of how I got my head around it, thanks for watching as always Paul
Would love to see how you prep old pipe before pressing over it, never know how meticulous you need to be. Great vid 👍
I should have included it, I will next time, it is very much the same as soldering, thanks for the support as always mate
All that lovely pipe work with it all polished up. Then you have to hide it all behind the lagging 😂😂😂. Good looking job Tom.
I know Colin, at least it keeps it to regs and should improve the efficiency a little bit, thanks for watching as always mate
Nice neat job mate. I have the exact same boiler, fitted as a replacement about 3 years ago. Took me a good shift from start to finish. They are heavy to move around compared to a gas boiler. Mine is in an under stair cupboard off the kitchen, back breaking bent over to access the pipes, yours had plenty space for access and all your tools at your feet. I was in and out all day, am sure you have been there😂. All the best lad.
Thanks for watching mate, they certainly aren't the easiest things to move on your own, you feel it at the end of the day 👍
Congratulations on 10k
Thanks for the support as always mate 👍 , I'm so pleased to have reached 10k
Done a great job there Tom, bet the customer is very happy.
I hope they were happy, thanks for watching as always Steve
Hi Tom excellent job there mate, attention to detail excellent work, i know how difficult jobs are but the videos make it look so easy🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the support as always mate 👍
Great content again Tom, don't know what your talking about most of the time, cool though. Enjoy your jollies.
I don't either to be honest Gary, thanks for watching as always mate
Great install mate, there was as much plumbing in this job as doing the basic plumbing for a whole house.I 'm always in awe of your knowledge and the way you do these jobs so quickly and make them look so easy. I've seen vids on YT where a guy will change a tap washer (or cartridge these days), for some local old dear and then proudly tell you that he's charged her £120 for 10 minutes work because she's paying for his skill and knowledge, yeah right. Great skill and knowledge in this job though. Have a good holiday mate, you deserve it and I'm sure you need it.
Thanks for the support as always mate, I'm really looking forward to my holiday now, first one in 5 years, I've just got to get through the next few days 👍
had my screwbox explode about 3 times now, i sympathise....nice install tom, very neat. enjoy your hols in wales, you've earned it 😀👍
Thanks for the support as always Pete, my screwbox was a mess anyway, I was only really annoyed that I had to pick it all up,
@@PlumbLikeTom use a magnet! thats if you can remember where you left it lol. better magnatise your screwdriver 🤣
Hi Tom
Another great install…. Pipe work excellent.
Thanks for the support as always mate, it is greatly appreciated 👍
Nice job Tom,enjoy your break you’ve definitely earned it 👍🏻
Thanks for the support as always Danny
Great work again Tom.Enjoy your holiday
Thanks for the support always Keith
Tom, very impressed with your very neat pipework. Really great to see the care taken when planning out such a job. You must be a very busy chap…👍👍
Thanks for the support as always mate, I try to stay busy, hopefully the work keeps coming in
Enjoy your holiday Tom, you deserve it bud. Are you going anywhere nice or just relaxing at home
I'm off to Wales, going international 😄, thanks for watching as always mate
Great job, Tom. Hard work time just runs away so much to do.
Time certainly does seem to just disappear, thanks for watching mate
Hi Tom, another great installation there mate. I’m sure the customer will be extremely happy with it.
Have a great holiday Tom and as always take care. 👍👍👍
Thanks for the support as always Chris, I hope the customer is happy
I always run my oils at 0.5% co2 bellow the min what they say , keep it lean keep it clean 🥰
That is a fair point, I'm not going to lie, sometimes I do a printout to MI's for the instructions and then put them back a bit, my old mate always told me to do that, thanks for watching mate
You need to start going through your eph motorised valve boxes, as they come with stickers to stick on your zone valves. Thats why they are the best for heating controls
I have seen the stickers but I didn't realise they said upstairs and down, I thought they just said HTG1, I will have to look next time, thanks for the support as always mate
@@PlumbLikeTom upstairs heating, downstairs heating, hot water, got all sorts lol.
Great job Tom as always enjoy the holiday well earned
Thanks for the support as always Ciaran

Brilliant job as always Tom, that was a serious hard day mate.
It certainly felt like hard work, thanks for watching as always mate
Enjoyed that as I never really did much with oil fired heating during my working life as a plumber.
There looked a lot of wires for you to sort out.
Thanks for the support as always mate, I used to be terrified of boiler wiring and controls but over the last couple of years I have really got my head into them, I can pretty much just look at something now and work out what's supposed to go where
Great work again Tom.
Thanks for the support as always Craig, it is greatly appreciated
Super impressive pipework Tom! A very interesting video, but it did look like very hard work!
Thanks for the support as always Steve, I find these jobs are always hard work, everything is heavy and awkward
Nice tidy job Tom, they are a lump those oil boilers aren’t they, you make it look easy, but I know it’s not, take care. 👍🚽
They are not the lightest things in the world, thanks for watching as always Peter
Well done again!
Thanks for the support as always mate
Good job done Tom
Thanks for the support as always John

Thanks for the support as always mate
Good job as ever tom..
Thanks for the support as always mate
Great job that Tom.
Thanks for the support as always James
Lovely old job Tom 1st class
Thanks for the support as always Andy
Good job Tom but why is the boiler in that configuration not back to he wall
It's because the door between the garage and utility wouldn't open fully if the boiler were to have been front facing, they are narrower on the width than they are on the depth if that makes sense, as it was it just fitted perfectly and it didn't protrude as far into the garage making it easier to get a vehicle in, thanks for watching Kevin
It’s a nice clean job, better than fixing broken shit pans any day 👍👍👍😳🙉🙈enjoy your holiday matey💪💪💪
The old boiler certainly had seen better days, thanks for watching as always Neil
Milwaukee gear is the bollocks so good
It is good, thanks for watching as always mate
The more I see people using those Milwaukee pipe cutters make me realise it was a good idea not to purchase one😂
It can be annoying but also can be really good, I need a new blade for this one as its 2 years old next month, thanks for watching as always Matthew
£1200 or arthritis 😂
There less than that mate just the blades go crap real quick
Bought one today screwfix had a deal on
Hope I get used to it cos I really don’t like it at the minute
@@samphelps9690 oh sorry mate I’m tripping, I was looking at the crimper while writing the comment lol
Nice new flux brush I see lol
I found it buried in the van, you can't beat a new flux brush, thanks for the support as always Tom
Nice tidy job tom, will they be able to see controls once worktop back on 🤔
I wired all the controls externally on this boiler as we had multiple zones, the customer was a joiner by trade so I'm sure he will make a great job of the worktop, thanks for watching as always Gary
@@PlumbLikeTom sounds good tom , really enjoy your vids and keep up the good work mate, enjoy your hols mate quite wet here so remember your waterproofs 😉
I called oftec about the registration and they said oftec is unlike gas safe as you legally don't have to register with them as long as you are qualified. Obviously you can't register a boiler and sign it off for warranty purposes. Saying this though all the old farmers near me maintain there own without any qualifications.
You only need to be oftec registered when the boiler first fires up, having said that I did a job a few years ago where I replaced a boiler where the old one had nearly killed a family with CO poisoning, luckily they all survived but the man of the house used to fiddle with the boiler, the flue had gone wrong and it nearly killed his whole family, is it worth it to save a few quid getting a qualified person out
I’m curious why you didn’t put the back of the boiler to the wall?
It was to clear the door between the garage and the utility, the boilers are narrower than they are deep, it fitted perfectly this way on, and the door opened fully. Thanks for the support as always mate, it is greatly appreciated 👍
What oil boilers do you find are the most reliable?
I like Worcesters but that is just my opinion, some will say Grant, others Navian, thanks for watching Shaun
Great job, looking forward to the next video
