I went in the street and found my mains and used that long tool to stop the water. Took the connector off, tap into the home, and see exactly black pipe similar shown here. Is it possible to move the pipe sideways under the concrete somehow? I think I will need to re-think where to put my units. I have imported a german kitchen which is already assembled etc. I will need to move things around unless you have some useful suggestion. Not sure I can move the pipe even if I break the concrete.

I'm installing a new water supply with 32mm mdpe into a different location in the kitchen, under the kitchen sink, the pipework is entering through the outside wall using a insuduct housting 110mm ducting at 90 degrees just above floor level,. What are your thoughts as to puttting the philmac mdpe type stopcock 90 degrees or should I put an elbow fitting onto the incoming pipe then a short piece of mdpe then the stopcock upright? I'm thinking the upright stopcock would look neater however the horizontal way would have less fittings before being able to turn off.

hi there I was wondering wether you could point me in the right direction. today i attended a leak and it was actually on the philmac fitting. the stank outside was cemented over. and there was no way to shut it down so had to phone the water board to do a partial grid shutdown.

once i got the fitting off to see why it was leaking i found that the pipe was cut at an extreme angle so it was impossible to fit the fitting on fully home. anyway the water board guy was telling me about these lead shut down clamps you can get that basically crimps the pipe shut. this would have been ok in this scenrio as the pipe was a dead end anyway. do you know where i can scource these or even give me a link so i can see what they look like.

This video inspired us to carry out this too! "A perfect example" according to the inspector. Did you concrete straight onto the clay/earth when filling it back in? Many thanks

@ultimatehandyman

Yes, I just filled it back in with some ready mixed concrete as I was tanking the floor, then screeding it afterwards.

My brothers house had lead pipe to the kitchen, but his stop tap outside is right outside his front door so the pipe comes straight in and all the way under a suspended floor to the kitchen, if its replaced does it still need a long bend radius or just run the pipe as the lead it run

Great video from back in the day. I've just started this job. Currently digging a trench About 6 metres across front garden then core drilled through three layers of brick at front of house. I've run 110mm blue flexible ducting through the underfloor of the living room and then core drilled underfloor kitchen wall. The ducting then comes up into the kitchen through another core drilled hole. Not seen the flexible ducting in any youtube video as most use 110mm soil pipe. Think I should be ok with that as United Utilities don't specify any particular ducting. By far, hardest part is digging down into rock hard clay. Getting there though....

Hi again. I have a problem as follows. I have in my property a black pipe not a blue one. It comes out about 30 cm from the wall in the middle of the wall! I designed my new kitchen without thinking and I am now installing and plumbing. Over that entrance is a 60 cm full sized integrated dishwasher!!! According to video I would need to break the concrete to try to do something under the level of the floor to move it sideways but it is exactly as you have it inside another larger pipe. Help!

Hello great videos :) I got a questio, I have a 1930s built house with lead pipes in the walls. My kitchen has both hot and cold tap pipes go into wall.

I have no idea, sorry. It all depends on the plumber, he could have routed the pipes anywhere 👍

so when the waterboard comes they take off the mechanical stop and connect it up? or was the pipe with the mechanical stop end not the supply pipe?

Terry Leach is a good plumber. Trades under TT Leach.

I accepted the situation and reversed the order of the items. I now have the 600 mm sink unit over the pipe and the dish washer to its left. My wife wanted bowl on the left as is customary in Eastern Europe. We tend to have the bowl on the right. Nothing to do with left or right handed, just custom of nations. After posting phoned a plumber who told me as my pipe was black, imperial, washer no longer made, would need a trench to get to house: blue pipe takes 2 days and would be a tricky job?

Thanks for making this video, I'm planning to undertake the same job in a couple of weeks. Did United Utilities make you remove all the old lead pipes from the ground? Also what did you use to extend the long radius bend in order to make it long enough to reach under the wall and out? Thanks!

Even if it doesn’t make sense, we do it that way because “we’ve always done it that way” But to be more serious, mostly in the UK we store our hot and cold water in the attic (loft). So the 15mm “mains water” is used mostly in the Uk for the kitchen tap (no other tap, ONLY the kitchen tap) and to feed the ball valve on the main cold water storage tank in the loft. That cold water storage tanks feeds the rest of the taps in the house, the toilets and is also used to create the pressure to push the hot water out of the hot water tank. We’re slowly moving to instant hot water and/or pressurised water but that won’t happen overnight. Welcome to the UK :)
