When the boilers a pressure tested at the factory, they’re taken to system pressure and vacuumed down to get all the water out. The residue water is held by the heat exchanger and internal pipework the bungs are then fitted to protect the box. Personally it’s a good idea boilers are tested at the factory. We all fit what we are comfortable fitting and installing some people like fitting Worcester’s. Others fit Baxi, Ideal or Vallaints. Great video as ever and Happy birthday to your Dad! Glad he’s recovered 👌🏻

@ 18:33 Top Tip... Never put a light bulb in your back pocket & sit down... Having lost a few bits down cavities myself;... all metal objects... Strong Magnet tired to paracord or string;... & fish it out... I've even made a pair of Footprints... As 4 that gigantic void;... I have a selection of old tyre inner-tubes... Folded in half & inflate...

I fit Worcester’s everyday of my life as I work for the council, and yes the 4000 PRV is the worst design flaw ever, now I pre solder onto the bend and put it on the boiler after it’s on the jig and then drill out the wall after the boilers on much easier then the plastic piece, as for filling loop put the screws in first only a bit then tighten once filling loop pushed in 👍

Another good one P.B must have patients of a saint for that boiler. Look forward to these every week. Also your arms are getting bigger every week lol. Good news with van manufacturer. Well done P.B

P.B vids are defo a Sunday evening highlight! Cheers buddy! 👍🏼🤙🏼💪🏼

Hope you dads OK pal! Give him all our regards! Should be proud of yourself with how far you have come.

Another fantastic video Pete. Thanks

Never usually comment on social media, but well done mate, watched all your videos, think this channel is mint, top tipps 100%

Fit loads of Worcester boilers, prv is a pain but the rest of the instruction is far easier than other manufacturers

The spigen gear is really good. Every phone case I've had has been spigen and they do a great job of stopping breakages!

Fit the preade blow off bend before you hang the boiler and set the blow off last

Top video again pb. Keep it up!

I appreciate your work

Been waiting for about a month for the spare cutter wheels for that Milwaukee. Love it

Great video as always

A little tip, start the screws first by a few turns then fit the filling loop then do them up. Prv is a little trickier and could be better designed but not impossible. Great video as always.

Great video, made me laugh you two cursing the Prv. Looks a nice job so far and a nice brick up👍🏼

Good Wach , Preso ! Tank You

WB last installed one in 2016 Its all coming back like a bad dream.

A Worcester for a Worcester change on the same rig is a nice early finish

I'm going to buy a milwaukee pipe cutter after your recommendation and demonstration.

Totally agree about worcester pain in the arse great vid pb

Top vid again 👍

Agree love my pipe cutter like is in the video too

Pipe the PRV up when you put the boiler on last. So much easier. As for filling loop use a wera joker ratchet hex key 👍🏻

Never had a problem with fitting the prv, a bit fiddly but takes about a minute if that, just got to spin the nut anti clockwise to line it up with the plastic thread then runs up nice and easy 👍

Went from being on a site fitting Ideals for 5 years turned up at my next site to find out it is Worcesters, my heart sank. All our pipes are 1st fixed to go straight into the valves, so if you use the keyholes for fixings on the jig, you have to take off every valve and put them on one by one. The top part of the jig sways more than a spiders web on a windy day, as there is no stabilty. The PRV connection, dont even get me started. I not ever going to go on about the flue turret, bloody things.

I felt your pain with that PRV connection. You should send this video to Worcester and ask them for their comments

The way I work out how to hang new rad same level as old vales is measure from the floor to the centre of the vales then floor to the top of the bracket then minus one inch, smack on every time.

I just mark the bottom or top depending on style of the existing rad before removing.

top video mate

Velocity are smashing out theys cracking bags

Great vid as usual pal. It’s mad to think I do this all day then watch someone else, especially having the same struggles….it’s refreshing ! I hate Worcester’s and just refuse to fit them, would literally fit anything but them. You may as well build the boiler yourself . Glad the old man is ok 👍

On the filling loop put the screws in started first before putting in the filling loop😉

Got myself a cup of Yorkshires finest ready for this 👍

Instantly subbed when I saw the fallout mask

Opinions on the worcester is an installers boiler from the point of piping the jig, prv is absolute bollocks should be brass save cross threading, looks nice with the casing and flue is easy to fit, wiring blocks are shit no room for wires, also no room to work on them

My next big purchase will be a press fit tool. They are an amazing bit of kit. Whites idea was it for thx customer to get a Worcester boiler ? Great vid 👍

Forget the Worcester I prefer Ideal or Baxi, love the brickwork for the old flue top quality.

Lovely bit of cylinder scrap there :P

Never used a laser level to hang a rad to old valves, just pencil, tape and level. I like the 22-23mm or as I call it 1".

Hey that prv is not as bad as you think I fit at least 2 or 3 worcester every week and it's pretty straightforward just have your pipe ready/planned and hang the boiler do that prv nut and then solder the joints

I'm glad you slate Worcester boilers, they are most awkward boilers to fit, keep it simple fs.

Is as wai for about ten years, and fitted them for years before that as well always been terrible boilers to fit and repair, expensive to buy but parts cheap enough, only fit Worcester’s now if the customer is adamant that’s what they want. Nice to see it’s not just me that have the those problems

I feel your pain with those little screws,especially when your eyes are starting to go 😳

Another good video. Love the moaning posh plumber

Trying to get these F..... little screws in 😂😂 haven’t serviced one of these yet and who knows what fitting parts will be like

I like the jig on Worcesters for piping up when soldering, means you don't burn the base of a boiler! But agree that PRV is the worst design they've ever made!! Those new 4000's are pretty horrendous to fit and don't like the digital pressure gauge, that customers can't see. Great video again mate

Excellent job! What is the design temperature with the radiator setup?

Before you put the keyless link in put the Allan key bolts in place 1st then put the filling link in place,tighted bolts up,job done. As for the PRV,it can be a pain and I do wish it was a brass connection with a rubber insert washer,but to take an hour is a joke. Walk away and take 5 mins. The pre plumbing jig is excellent, especially if your working in a tight space, and you don't have to take your pipework down and to the side if your pipework needs to go up.

I agree Vaillant and Baxi

Excellent job done ✅ well done to both of you guys il offer you cup of coffees 🙂 ☕️☕️

Theses something really satisfying saying the work FUCK. 😂

I always fit the Prv connection before I install.

Nice job lads personally hate Worcester boilers myself. Loving viessmann ATM .Pete do you have a link for the blades for the pipe cutter? I can't get one anywhere seems to be a shortage across the UK

We stopped fitting worcesters about 5 years ago now, they're a pain in the arse, imagine having to take the boiler off to change the vessel or prv, shite.

Hi Paul ---i'm not a Worcester boiler fn ether -- the best worcester boilers were before condensate boilers began -- the RSF 24 + 28 , also the early 24 + 28 junior were a lot easier to fit + to work on --- like it too that your elderly customers moved out while you fit the boiler -- wish mine did , -- i get them following me around in the house , standing watching me for hours , standing on my tools -- and talking me to death -- what a job eh -- we should get payed in gold -- take care Jim ...

If you don't like them why are you fitting a WB? 🤔

That’s why i fit only Viessmann and Baxi’s.

Hi Pete! Just had a look at the laptop bag on their website, do you know if they are doing a 13” version?

Worcester Bosch should do an install with you for product develop/installer feedback.

I install Baxi’s and nothing else if a customer wants a Worcester I tell them to go else where. I don’t know how Worcester get best which buy because they are not engineer friendly. Can you connect the PRV connection pipe before hanging the boiler and then finish piping up the PRV when the boiler is on the wall?

The time i would have got the laser and set it up my mentor would have started venting the new rad lol....

Where did u gt the drill pipe cleaner . I want one like that cant find it .U make it look to easy.

Put prv on the boiler before you put on wall easy takes 2 seconds

Great vid as usual, Just a quick tip from me Get yourself a solenoid magnet from any refrigeration supplier and tie it to some string to retrieve lost metal tools down cavities or other drops zones and keep it in the plastic box it comes in to stop the magnet collecting other crap, Just saying

Put the 4 screws in before you insert the integral filling loop. 👍

PRV is so dumb, but the jig is a brilliant idea saves working in a cupboard with a boiler above your head. May not be the easiest to install but sure are the boiler brand out there.

Where do you go to match the bricks?

Those bloody Worcesters are a right sh*t design. Who did the brick work? It was a thing of beauty. As was your pipe work Pete. Good on you. 😁

Worcester. Nooo 🤢 Baxi are my number 1. Platinum with the jig then the 800/600 range. Main for the budget brand choice.

Can someone tell me if that laser level and pole can reach as low as skirting boards for running radiator pipework? Looking to get one mostly for this purpose but never used one

Pipe it up then fit the prv last and pipe it up. it’s easy to screw it on when the boilers on the jig As for the filling loop just do any 2 holes. It doesn’t have to be opposites. It’s only holding it in I guess they leave the water in to show it’s tested. If you know water is there it’s not hard to not drop it everywhere. Always start on the return nut too as it’s the hardest. 1 hour to do that prv 😂 Jesus Maybe next time he should leave the orange bit on so it can do it’s job and help him

Exactly mate! Every boiler is tested at the factory, it's well known and documented in the installation instructions that there may still be water inside. Just take it upstairs upside down or drain the water out outside, duh! Some people like Ben are just moaning fu*ckers 🤣

Just fit an Ideal. So easy.

Hi pb around 20:20 what do you use the cutting tool for? Can it be used for cutting floorboards? Thanks

Intro always reminds me of the old arcade game OutRun

Have we got a P.B 25% off code for the pole and lazer level? 🤣 do your magic mate 👌

Pete do you have any discount codes for Velocity pro gear? I have your service bag and thinking of the solder bag, cheers

Just a bit shit ,ha ha love it ,I hate speed fit ,I do use the cap ends sometimes though

Ayy same boiler as mine

What make of pole are you using for your laser level mate, please and where from thanks

Thanks for another great video Pete, HBD for ur dad. Still hoping if u can spare few minutes to reply about my question on blocked plate heat exchanger video. Much appreciated

LOL!!! I love the swearing at the Whooshitter Botch crap boiler. REM’s really lead the way with the 45 clamps for Press. Great video PB👍

Where can I get the pole for the laser level from?

its actually 25mm,just couse you have to put a plastic tensioning block

Ha ha superb ,why can’t they just put it on for you in the factory ,I have thought this many times myself ,

This model Bosch boiler has a good heat exchanger but its ''Critical'' you treat the system with inhibitor and dont just rely on the magnaclean, any warranty is Void without inhibitor...

can second that i hate Worsters hate working on them will never fit em baxi and main also test there boilers and leave the water in its to prove its been tested

Worcester “the installers choice” 😂😂…I fitted one. Never again

When hanging stelrads, rule of thumb is that the bottom of the bracket sits 3/4 of an inch above the centre of the valves 👍🏻

Cheers mate that’s a handy tip to remember

That guy made such a meal out of that Worcester. I fit the 4000 and 8000 every day! I know all the tricks of the trades to fit these. Like everything once you get use to it, it becomes 2nd nature. You are meant to take the side panels off the boiler when you get these they come with square gaps on the bottom both sides to pick it up and to get access. He made such a meal out of that 🤣🤣🤣 I can agree the 8000 is so HEAVY! which is a nightmare. I'm a man of all boilers. Aslong as it aint vokera I don't care 🤣

Somebody told me the Worcester jig is something to do with making the boiler a one man lift 🤷‍♂️

There’s not a lot of choice for larger oil boilers. Worcester are ok for that

City plumbing have stopped selling the 4000 in st helens Merseyside because of a diverter valve problem

Glad it's not just me that gets this frustrated with awkward bits of the job. Called a 15mm elbow a pig c$#t the other day when I couldn't get a pipe to go into it...

I think Ben needs his own KZread channel- The whinging Posh Plumber. On a serious note - definitely put me off Worcester boilers.
