    Hey Mark. Its a buddy from across the pond. Don't be afraid to pre press some joints! For example you could've pressed your 2 90s together with the piece that went into the coupling. Then just put it into the coupling and moved it to the orientation you wanted then just press the coupling in place. Less moving parts. But like you said press takes a little pre thought especially in some tricky spots. You'll get it man! Keep killing it!

    It’s that customer service that makes all the difference. It takes dedication to give up a Saturday morning to a job that’s already broken the record for ballache per square foot. Plenty would have left it: it’s only a small thing, but your customer would have seen it twice a day for the next ten years or so and felt a tiny little twinge of disappointment every time. Now it’ll be a daily reminder that they chose the right person to do the job.

    Hi Mark, the bathroom looks great in the end, that pump really changed the performance of that shower, excellent. I think the press fit was acceptable in that situation, it is out of sight and you could complete the job with water still in the pipe, so all good. I would have had to change the unit top too, as my ocd would not let me leave the damaged on in situ. I’m enjoying the press fit tutorials, another great film thank you, take care, regards, Chris. 👍👍👍

    There’s definitely a learning curve with press. I’ve found on my press gun if I’m trying to hold a pipe plumb with a level on it I can feather the trigger and not have it do the entire crimp in one punch but rather check the level mid way through the crimp cycle while the pipe is stiff but still has movement if it needs adjustment. Then finish the crimp. I’m not sure if all guns can stop mid way but I find that very useful. Also watch out that the jaw doesn’t interfere with another part of the fitting, one time I crushed the other side of a tee fitting where the gun forced itself into it and I had to cut out some work and start over. It definitely has its place but I can almost guarantee you will still be using your torch. By the way after 18 years of plumbing I’m two weeks into working for myself. Talk about a learning curve. My biggest challenge so far is scheduling myself and trying to get faster at paperwork!

    I've been using the Rothenberger press tool for a few years now. I don't do the volume of plumbing you do and agree, they can twist a little on pressing. When you are stretching or in a floor void and can't always get your spare hand on the pipe/fitting to steady it. However, inside a unit/under a bath etc I think it's tidy. Much better than plastic in my option. I'd rather see press than compression even if in view. Keep up the great work 👌

    Very interesting video Mark good intro to press fit. You are a customers dream plumber you really are I’m sure a lot of plumbers would not have bothered coming back to sort those issues out. With reg to the shower pump you had a separate hot from the cylinder already fitted for the existing shower so you used that isn’t that right and I take it the cold was independently tank fed. Is 15 mm pipe ok then for those pump supplies inc cold from tank. Cheers great video you’ve done it again excellent material.

    Hello Mark really good to see the level of customer service you have provided here. Bit of a blow to see this type of fault in the first place, after doing everything right! I think every fitter would done the same thing and left the film on untill it was fitted. Only to find the little fault when you removed it. All done now and sure the customer would have appreciated it. Those press fit fittings worked well in this scenario. No risk of scorch marks or need to get water out of pipes before soldering. The only thing I would have done different would have been to use a couple of offsets instead of all those elbows. Appreciate you were trying to show everyone your new press though 😂

For years on YT and forums, plumbers have whinged and mocked solder ring for being a DIY job and looking horrendous yet they all seemed to love Press Fit and jump all over it 🤣 I get its application and pro points but I think its over used for general work and is just more expensive but that's probably why plumbers want to go that way.

    Should've used them random 45's in your fitting box to make an offset of sorts. 😂 Good education on press. I'd be interested to know longer term if you stick with it how it affects your pricing. Jobbing jobs the time saved might equal another job done so it'd pay for itself, but bigger jobs on day rate with lots of fittings might be a different story I guess. I can see the advantage definitely for pipes with water in them, and for mlcp you've got no choice, but for newbies starting out its a luxury to aim for.

    Hi Mark. Continuing to enjoy your videos. Just a comment about the choice of shower pump: Personally, I would have opted for a universal pump. Reason being is that the choice of pump isn't necessarily the location of the pump in relation to the tank in the loft, but the distance between the base of the tank in the loft and the shower outlet. It might well be that the head pressure from the rain shower is so poor it might not be sufficient to operate the flow switch in the pump. Many people with positive head showers with this sort of set up find they have to start the shower by firstly diverting to the hand held sprayer, removing it from the holder then directing it downwards. Also, is that an isolation valve I can see on the hot water draw-off before the vent?

    Glad to hear that, Mark. It's just something I've come across a few times. It's usually not an issue to begin with while the flow switch is nice and new, but the issues start when the flow switch ages a bit.

    Fine grade sandpaper would never remove a dent as it does not offer enough of a cut, it might hide it but with the light at the right angle you'll still be able to see it and always been able to feel it's still there. You would need to start with a low grit sandpaper to flatted the surface out and then work up to remove the scratch marks by which point you would have broken threw the finish layer. looking threw the comments I agree with yourself and most others on how bad press fit looks, I don't even think they really look industrial they are just plain right to big and meh. I would much rather see solider fittings. I think the Yorkshire fittings or at least I think that's what they are called (ones that have solder inside) look industrial but in a good way, suite my taste I guess.

    Feel you pain on this one mate, I take it that you swapped it out at your expense? I had a similar one recently! Customer had asked for the tap to be lined up with the central mullion of the window in the bathroom. Worktop sink and tap installed and customer okayed it ( very fussy so covered my a***). A few days later she calls and says it’s not central (installed with a lazer from the mullion to the centre of the tap!). Turned out she’d supplied me with the wrong sink ( she had 2, one of which didn’t meet her quality control!) but insisted the tap wasn’t central ( it was). It was also made worse as the tiler had worked his centre from wall to wall and not to the window (5mm discrepancy) I agreed (stupidly) to replace the sink and on removing it (carefully) it delaminated the worktop ( really pleased about that🤬). Customer put the onus to replace the top on me even though she’d given me the wrong sink! Luckily my supplier gifted me one but still out of pocket time wise and vowed never to return!

    The minimum flow rate required for our positive head pumps is 2 litres of water per minute (L/min). If you don't have this minimum flow rate from all outlets that are to be pumped, or if you're not sure, then you will need a universal (negative head) pump.
