    Lock the zone valve into manual position on all Honeywell valves, they slip right off then mate. Not doing that and prising it off can cause the spindle to come off with it and you've got a bad leak on your hands. Been there.

    I’m an engineer too, you done really good, exactly what I would have done. 👍 The only thing that I would benefit from is buying one of those press fit guns for the press fit fittings. Great job 👍👍

    Beautiful work as always your pipe works fantastic and I really enjoyed looking at this how you did it and most important part is you did put isolation valve so the small isolator gets isolated that's brilliant so yeah it's all good it's all good and but I think in your videos be more see about the pipe works and connexion but I think I personally would advise to cheque the bonding as well because bonding is very important and need to be connected to the gas pipes you're going to make sure they are i'm not saying in this case is not but I'm just saying bonding connexion also we need to cheque the the the safety devices Flame picture all these things I know you don't mention it in your Videos fine I'm hay with it but when we installed the hub we look at the flame picture we look at the gas cut out device which win is return a flame on and then we turn it off and we wait for click thermocouple we need to hear them the clicking and so it's all good it's all good we're very pleased to watch your videos as always ffd flame failure device

    if the engineer did tell the customer to remove the case from the boiler to free the pump, I would question his competency and ethics, as it looked like the case formed the combustion seal, so only Gas Safe Operatives should remove it, not a customer. I have never seen a smoking S plan valve. some nice jobs there tho :)

  • @richardwilliams7900

    Think u will find that putting silicone around hobs contravenes most manufacturers installation instructions cos it makes hobs difficult to repair if needed and can also cause damage to a laminate work top if it's removed it can pull laminate away from chipboard base
