    Hi. Great video. Very informative to an average diy man like my good self. Nice to see a you tube channel from someone who doesn’t have a workshop the size of a warehouse with every conceivable tool on the planet. Look forward to the next one. Good luck with the arrival of the little one. 🇬🇧🤓

    That's how I'm going to fit my speedfit piped radiators. Thanks a lot!

    Nothing at all wrong with this method if strong enough to lift that much. Never knew about those silicone seal things - very useful!
    No need to change olive if you are using the same fitting, should go back without a problem. If in doubt add a bit of joint compound on the interior edge (fitting side, not nut side) of the olive. Wont matter if you get joint compound on other bits, just doesn't do anything.
    Should note that its common to find valves that use an o-ring too which might need replacing. You have to look closely at the fitting before you take it apart - you will see the fitting shape and maybe absence of visible threads than on a compression fitting.
    Setting the lockshields/ balancing is to ensure all the radiators heat evenly, which can be a problem on branching systems but not so much on manifold which is often the method used with the 10mm plastic pipe.
    Bit untidy the way they did the connections behind the radiator. Usually better to do a single run with no extra joints and put a plate over the hole.

      Agreed with last statement, unfortunately builder and first fix plumber were very poor throughout

      🤣 It felt 3m long. I cant actually remember the length but think its about 1.2-1.5m. Too big for the room I shall add.

      I can only assume you have jumped to a conclusion and not watched the whole video or understood the channel, so will take this comment as not constructive or noteworthy….in the slightest 😁
