HANSGROHE RAIN-SELECT Concealed Shower 1st Fix Install & BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY radiator swap
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Bank Holiday Monday and guess who is out changing radiators........Yep.....ME!!!
got to try out the "Plumb Thumbs" on this though, see what i think.
Also, the amazing looking Hans Grohe Rain-Select Thermostatic Shower has arrived onto one of the jobs im working on, lets just say opening the box and seeing what's inside is very daunting!!.
Took a while to work out what was what....take a look

That is a monster shower, love the pipe work and the bends, very neat, much respect. I also enjoyed the radiator swap, I have to swap two rads in my house for larger ones also repipe to Increase from 10mm to 15mm for better flow, I may need you??? An excellent film as always and a pleasure to watch, I am pleased for you that the channel is growing very fast, well deserved. I look forward to the next film, take care, regards, Chris.

Great bit of kit those Plumb Thumbs. Worth every penny. Beats any black marks on carpets(we've all done it... I have an absolute horror story involving black sludge, white bed sheets and white walls..) If you ever do spill black sludge on carpet though... Leak detection fluid... 😉

Yer I was surprised how well they worked, not sure how long they will last until they start cross threading but at £10 a pop they are worth it for the larger rads when working on your own👍🏼👍🏼

The main hot and cold on this unit go into the shower valve, then out the valve to the i-box. The shower head fits directly to the I-Box on this setup. I had to read the whole book before starting the fit to make sure 👍🏼👍🏼
