Would have liked to see you actually attach the rad to the pipes as I will be simply replacing my normal rad with a towel rad. Great vid non the less 💝
Worth adding that you should check the pressure on your boiler after completion and top-up if necessary. Fair play for giving it a go and yes you made the odd mistake, but others can learn from that. Best regards
Another great video! I'm thinking of replacing my old rusty radiator with a nice chrome one like that. My fear is that I'll pull the old one off, and something won't be right, the pipes coming out my bathroom floor are old copper things that look..... like they could need replaced too! Think I'll be letting a professional do that one! Lol
Hiya Bob. Hear what you're saying mate. You've got to be so careful that you don't knock them around too much and b*gger up the joints and create leaks. TBH it can be quite nerve racking especially knowing how far water can travel and the damage it can do. Take care mate, Des
Hi mate nice work. We're you able to get the radiator with the same spacing as your existing pipes so it was just a matter of placing on top or did you have to pipe that up from scratch??
Hello there. Unfortunately, there were no existing pipes there so I had to install them. The chrome finish on the copper tails was a nice touch but they've got to be properly prepared before fixing (i.e. they need to be sanded down first). Thanks for watching. Best wishes, Des
Hi there buddy. From memory, I did about 10 wraps of the ptfe and have not had any problems at all. I did give it a good tweak with the spanner though. Everything fine 2 years down the line (fingers crossed!). ATB, Des
Hello there and thanks for watching. Even if it is not required it's not going to do any harm is it? Belt and braces job. Have a good day where you are. ATB, Des
As soon as he mentioned Victoria plumb I turned off,never watched the full vid but hope that wasn’t a customers house. Victoria plumb are renowned for some of the worst quality products going.
Hello mate. Interesting to hear about Victoria Plumb. Not being in the trade I wasn't aware that they had a bad reputation. The towel radiator has been in for 4-5 yrs now and still going strong thankfully. Thanks for dropping by. ATB, Des
Never had an issue with Victoria plumb on the other hand Victoria plumbing which is a different company are crap their aftersales leaves a lot to be desired too

You put the PTFE tape on the wrong way - you should wind it on clockwise.
Thanks for your valuable feedback. Appreciated. Des
good job gaffar
a bit of tape on ajustable will speed up the job. Love learning on the job.
Thank you my friend. Best wishes, Des

how many turns of ptfe was that..mines dripping after 9. only slightly

PTFE wrong way round a couple of times.
what size allen key is that you use at 3:57
Really sorry but can't remember. Apologies, Des
The rubber oring seals he vents no real need for ptfe
what a wally let the rubber do its job
No centre markings not helpful at all. needs draw the actual marking. how do I hang the radiators.
I still don't know how to install it to existing radiator
gaffer tape?
Shouldn’t it be higher up the wall
That's simply personal preference. Could be though if someone wanted it higher. ATB, Des
Saw another tutorial channel decide to fit it upside down, not by accident. Wonder how he'll bleed it 😆
Lol. Sounds like gravity will take care of that for him? ATB, Des
Lol I said that video also
You don't need PTFE what a wally!
