I wish I found plumbing as much fun as you obviously do. Great video. Thanks.
Great video! I put one of these on a dot'n'dab hollow wall - had to recess wooden blocks to bridge gap between plasterboard surface and bricks behind. Used long "bolt head" screws through the wooden blocks into the brick. Job done!!...these radiators are just really really heavy. Bo' Selecta!
Picked up loads of tips from your videos, cheers! Struggled with ptfe tape time and time again, that loctite 55 is the nuts and I now get a good seal first time every time! Nice one!
No worries Toby!
Great professional and good sense of humor
started watching your videos today because I'm starting a plumbing course Monday, you're brilliant! Keep up the videos haha! "go on, eat ya dinner" love it!

Watched the video a couple of times before fitting a column radiator did as you showed everything went fantastic also used the same screw fittings as shown in the video had no problems with them. Thank you
i've never installed a collum rad, thank you for showing us, same principles as a panel rad. Not the most effecient rad but they do seem more classy. Im sure you could double the efficiency by stuffing wire wool between the collumns, not sure if they'd look as great though. Cute cat!
More quality videos.
You're the man!! Barking mad, but still THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you very much for your help. I'm ready to instal my new radiator by myself.
You’re awesome. Wish all tradesmen were as fun as you
Hi...i fitted a double aluminum tower rad. In my bathroom. Like you was concerned about the weight. The internal wall is breezblock. So, made up a box for the rad to sit on. It hangs on the top brackets, rests on box which takes the weight. There is one bracket in the middle of the rad. at the bottom, which stops any vert/horiz. movement. Holes are drilled at the back of the box for vent. Box then covered in carpet. Looks good.
Great video.
Most of these column radiators have inlet and outlets. My inlet and outlet stickers have been pulled off by my 2 year old. Any ideas if you can look inside to differentiate?
Hi James love your videos, I'm sure I've seen one where you replaced a rad with a plumbed towel rail using the existing valves/pipework - but cannot find it - is it still available? Really looking for help in measuring up using the 90 degree dual fuel elbows and how this will effect the height in relation tothe brackets to hold the towel rail on the wall?
Makita with a light.... Stabila it's da best......no leaks coz your amazing and you work really fast specially on the pipes. Job well done, loved it..hang loose!
Top video fella!
Very good instructions...
Amazing video. Can I ask plz, what type and size screws do you recommend to fit

Thanks
I'm hanging my first column rad in the next couple of weeks. I've taken the old rads off, no issue. I was hoping to just connect them to the existing pipework though, after fitting new TRV's and some telescopic radiator tails? I'm no plumber so was hoping to avoid altering pipework. I notice you ended up having to alter the pipe to the right hand side of this rad though?
Can it be risky having the valve / compression fitting, close to a pulled bend or offset?
Nat Thomas
just watched your how to hang a column rad. MINT! just as all of your vids I've watched are. Because I am a rookie plumber I like to watch the piping bit in real time. the soldering, bending and measuring. could you include this in future vids please? a suggestion could be notching. Hold tight!
Will do mate!
I watch your videos all the time I have learnt a lot of things from you thank you very much only one thing I couldn’t understand the pipe bend to the radiator you could a go straight from the ground because you already lifted the floor
Great video thanks
LOL it's the weekend!!!!!!!! Have a nice one too :)
i love watching your vids. Pro @work.
Ha! Thanks dude!

Hi buddy, i want to tap off from a hallway radiator into a bathroom radiator-sort of a leg- just flowing around the bathroom rad back into the F and R for the hallway rad. Is this as simple as it sounds and do i need to plumb it in any particular way (given that TRVs are bi-directional)? thanks..
Hi I hope you can help. I understand about feed pipe being 22mm then branching to 15 but what size for return. Thanks
In the end you didn't use the pipe with the trv you had to cut it out, what happened was that because the pipe needed a slight off set in the end. I fit 3 of them a few weeks ago it's always a pain matching upto existing pipes. Nice job as usual
Good job mate! How about the water pressure? Before & after to cut the pipe.
Any advice for installing column radiators on plasterboard or ply walls???
Hi. Do you have video how to close water - (cold and hot) wich is coming in to radiators?
Do you ever work with cast iron radiators? The radiators I install here are mostly cast iron floor standing units.
I don’t even care about pluming but that thumbnail was art so hear I am
Just finished watching the video. Bro is hilarious I’m ducking subbing
Do these vert rads all need flow diverters fitted, as we've got all verts & I'm wondering if this is why we aren't getting all rads hit aswell as semi hot.
Hi mate. What is the safety way to fit Worcester gas boiler on the plasterboard. Thanks.
Great vid as ever. What are those wall fixings you used for the crappy wall? FANKS!
Hi mate these radiater Tod they warm up good ?
Is it possible to run the water pipes through a wall into these. So the inlet and outlet would 90 degrees to what the are here?
Great video! You don't like installing them because they are not as efficient as panel radiators?
Would have been good to get a close up on how you got the bends on the pipe once you got them below the floor.
Love your vids bro and love the look of column radiators as well, but not great on BTU's for their size.

hi
I have a mega flow system but want to add a radiator in my home .. what is the procedure to do this. I had a gravity system before which i knew how to refill, but i am unsure with this mega flow system.
please help
many thanks!
Hi do you have any videos on all the boys you time lapsed. I'm needing to learn how to move and then connect the pipes please x
Great if you can lift the floorboards, what if you have another wood flooring on the top of the boards so you can't lift? Is there any other way to shift the pipes? I think I know the answer... :/
Can these shape radiators be hung the opposite way up, say with the inlet and outlet coming in from the top
I ask as I tend to have one and the pipes come from above, so would I have to run the pipes down to come in the bottom of the radiator?!!!
Hi is there a right way up or can you fit any way
How do you move the pipes if they are built in the wall
I need to get a smaller radiator but dont know how to move the pipe work with it being in the wall
Thanks
How do you balance the hot water flow, as one of my column rads stays completely cold. Thanks
What's the foam for on the pipes under the floorboards?
Thanks. I like your videos. 7:34 mins into the video. What was that hanger in the door jam for. You never showed us. :-)
Hi mate could you possibly do a video in more detail of how u measured up for the offset bends you did in this video as I'm trying to get to grips with working out measurements when bending pipe! Cheers mate
I'll pop it on the list! Cheers, PP!
Do the spiggates need to be in as tight as possible?
Is that copper connected to plastic piping or onto copper ? I know often plastic is used these days I can of course see its copper to the rad good work mate tidy stuff
Nice

Hi there. Love your videos but the bits you timelapsed and cut from your towel rail vid were the bits I really wanted to see :-(. I have an old Victorian house, but in the bathroom the pipework runs at right angles to the joists. I need to replace a huge old radiator with a smaller radiator / towel rail combi without notching out the joists. Radiator is also earthed - I've not seen this in your videos. Any advice on how to proceed would be appreciated. Maybe flexihoses and box in above floor pipework? Cheers! Kirsty x
Hi Kirsty, can you show us the problem here at Google Helpouts? helpouts.google.com/101344000685454855058
Can you paint thoze pipes?
Hi pp I would like to see you doing the offsets you did and the bending pipes cheers pp
there are vids about offsets mate, unless you mean on very short pipe?
+Reginald Tinkleberry who would recommend
I have one of these radiators fitted recently in my identify plan kitchen everytime I open my sink in bathroom downstairs and slide it a few seconds later if u go next to the radiator it makes a bubbles water noise fir a few seconds. This is the same if I open and close my sink in kitchen. I've had a new boiler installed a week ago. Anyone know what cud be the reason if of my issue and a solution please.
We’ve fitted a column radiator and only half of the rad is heating up.... any thoughts
When hanging the radiator do you need to pitch it slightly towards the feed pipe so it will run back into the pipe when cooled so you won't get air in the pipe causing noise? Thanks, Ray
🤔
I’m an apprentice n the scariest part to me is drilling holes through the walls, especially if it’s plaster bored walls and have to use them different screws I don’t even know what they screws are called hahaha all come in time it will. Toppa video mate
your pipework is a joy to watch. Pipe Art :)
+steowong Cheers mate!

Hi. Why did you put those little L bends in the pipes, is that just for aesthetics?
Be great if manufacturers put a fixing template in with radiator? Works for boilers 👍
Does anyone know why after trying to drain my central heating system the radiator that I am trying to change still has water coming out of it.
We had two of this type fitted in a new extension, he worked out the BTUs,s but they are basically crap. They take far too long to heat up.and even when they are hot the room is just not hot enough, Question one is there a top and bottom ,and somebody mentioned to me about a gate thats just inside the rad valve entry point that has to be opened before installation ,allowing the water to flow to the top of the first section then slowly drop down to all the sections ,any comment would be handy ,personally i wany to take one of them out and replace it with a conventional rad ,but wifey is not happy because it means a pipe showing on the skirting because the new floor covering would be a nightmare to lift,.
Hi can you hang these radiators with the pipes coming down from the ceiling or do they have to come up from the floor??
+brian benson Yep, should work fine.
Hi, can I ask you a quick question? I did install three new vertical radiators downstairs. Two of them take ages to get warm (one in the kitchen and the other in the sitting room, it is mid terrace house). What advice you can suggest?
Probably a bit late now but you need something called a 'flow diverter' which forces water to the top of the rad.
dot and dab wall...lovely
Yeah!
still better than cavity ....
Can you send me the link where I can purchase the same or similar wall brackets please! Thanks!

Love the vids great stuff, but why did you measure the right pipe then cut it and replace ??
Can't remember...it was years ago! SUBSCRIBE! ➡️👉 ua-cam.com/users/plumberparts 👈⬅️ IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY! 😎
Probably to get it above the mopboard
I've just put one of these in but I have muddled up the flow and return, so the pipe that gets hot first is going into the return side. When on the rad makes a trickling noise and dosent work properly, will this be sorted if I flip the pipes. Cheers.
yes
@@Tony91177 it just needed massively bleeding, the pipe direction seems to mean absolutely nothing.
@@tdgg3164 I had this Monday. Hung 4 new radiators. all the same just different sizes. Two had a inlet and outlet sticker on them, the other two didn't. one of the ones that didn't just would not get hot. I kept bleeding it and raising the pressure and balancing the others, then eventually after about 25mins of this it started to get hot. Really strange! Worked in the end but I was thinking maybe this was also directional even though there was no stickers on it.
Fortunate you can lift the floorboards. I have an old type 11 radiator thats 2m in length and I want to change to type 22 and reduce the size to 1600mm and still have more Btu. Problem is the pipes are in the wall and its the 8mm copper type from the 80's
Bloody hell you are good! how did you know my uncle Bob?
Hi, I installed a column radiator of the same brand a few days ago. What i saw is that the bottom was hot just after starting the system but 40min later the top was still cold. I am considering running the hot pipe all the way to the top port to have the feed the furthest away possible from the outlet. Its kind of a problem as i already did the holes on the wall and an exterior pipe at eyes heigh will not look good (specially with the big thermostatic valve there at the top) but otherwise it looks absolutely inneficient. Have u not had this problem?
You need to let the air out at top while your slowly filling it with water. If its full of air then water cant come in all the way to the top
6ft level would be handy for vertical marking up
slightly dissapointed I didn't get to see the moggy finish its dinner but other then that pretty informative.
HA!
Thank you for explaining how to do. Also Do you usually measure in cm or inch in UK?
CM in the UK mate. SUBSCRIBE! ➡️👉 ua-cam.com/users/plumberparts 👈⬅️ IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY! 😎
Thank you. If one does not ask one does not know ;-).
Thank you. If one does not ask one does not know ;-).
alright mate, I have a problem, I am installing all my radiators myself but I am having the pipes come out the wall. the problem is I am using chrome piping but I am struggling to tighten the pipes without the pipe kinking ever so slightly just after the nut and they keep leaking when I pressure test as well. is there a special sequence/trick to tightening the pipes without twisting the pipe?
Try and use a little jointing compound on the nuts.... SUBSCRIBE! ➡️👉 ua-cam.com/users/plumberparts 👈⬅️ IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY! 😎
plumberparts cool, I'll go out and get some, I think I will replace all the chrome piping as well as it doesn't look great as is.
thanks for that
I'm not a fan of hanging these radiators I don't no why they don't come with a template to make our lives easier
Sometimes it's hard to find the right size radiator
To replace an old I've got 640 old one thought I was going to be able to do myself but I might need to get
Because the pipes my need moving
Help me pass my on site assessment!
All the vertical radiators I've purchased recently have metal filings still inside them that you can hear when tilting the radiator, which I can't seem to flush out.
Any one else have this issue?
smithboyv1 yea can be a major problem. I fitted a whole house out with Delonghi coloumn rads and all the enamel inside kept flaking off when the heating was running. You could here it pinging off inside! I had to powerflush the system in the end, but it was a nightmare! Last time I have fitted Delonghi coloumn rads btw!
Plumb Bob ... i still use lol
U get some handy jobs i tell ya lol
All good! but what happened to filming AAV's? Got my own little AAV problem and need a tutorial. :)
You've gotta be running out of plumbing scenarios soon fella!!
+plumberparts can you make basic vids like basics to more complex pls start from
What is the height you should hang rads on wall
You want the top to be at least one half the width of a king size duvet cover above floor level
My problem is that my floors are sheet MDF rather than floor-boards. Also the radiator feeds are flexible plastic pipe, coming out from the plaster-board wall...
You'll need to by an oscillating cutter (or Fein) that'll get you in in no time!
Struggling with a small rash/ sore on my helmet. I’ve been told organic yogurt is the way to go? Can you confirm?
Hold tight
just luverly
Both valves need turning off. If you're not confident then as the rad will be full of water, disconnect one side first and drain the radiator to make it easier.
What did you do with all that money?
As always, great vid.
You are funny mate ;-)
"Theres not gonna be any leaks cause im amazing" - I think I love you bro (not gay)
Love your videos pal. Started looking at plumber videos cause I smashed my radiator pipe with the vacuum cleaner and it leaked bad. *cry*
Hold tight :D Also, you're pretty handsome (still not gay)
Cheers!
+Jamie Scott Ha! Cheers dude! PP!
Jamie Scott i think you are gay bro 😁
Dude, why no chrome pipeage! Looks way cooler with chromeage! However, I would like to 'big-up' yourself.
those walls are fiiiine
telling a cat what to do. that'll never work. oh yeah and hold tight
I think that your vids are amazing although I can’t understand a word , ( perhaps you could do subtitles ? )
Lots of love and best regards from north of Watford gap 🤪 .
Shmeeerrrr.....danke!
plumberparts LOL , funny guy , I’ve noticed that you and Bradley Walsh are never in the same room at the same time, Hmm ,
