Radiator pipework and soldering copper pipes

Asmr plumbing video on me installing a radiator on some fresh copper pipes!
I love using these pipe clips from Ecoclip as I can have my own custom pipework spacing to suit me! They keep the pipe off the wall nicely and allow to open and close the clips.
Easiest way to hang a radiator is work out the height of skirting boards. Come up an inch I always do then work out a distance that you want the valves to be above the pipework. Measure from the bottom of radiator up on the mark to the top of the bracket and you’re good to go!
Soldering these copper pipes in 90 deg fittings to keep everything looking uniform is pleasing to the eye.
Enjoy watching how I do it and let me know any different ways you do it!

    Hi i just want to thanks you from 🇫🇷 because you are one of the rare plumber able to show a quick efficient productivity skill, amazing tools with a really estetic and operational results. i have 2 two observations regarding what i learned that : 1- radiatiors must be feed horizontally to increase the surface of exchange in order to get the maximum heat from the radiator. exept larger radiator than higher and high hand design radiator with different internal feeding. 2- you use i guess for practical and efficient reason industrial connector ( time and so monaie saving and effort) that increase hydraulic resistance. would you show us a classic copper pipe jump and a chipping on pipe that readuce at least in my mind connections and hydrolique resistance ? thanks and your content is amazingly satisfying

    Just wondering, did they ever import “Yorkshire” brand copper plumbing fittings into the US? Yorkshire fittings had a ring of soft solder incorporated into the fitting’s socket end. You’d just hear the copper tube (not the fitting) and the solder would melt and form a nice joint. No additional solder was required. These fittings were available in Australia in the late 70’s and 80’s but I haven’t seen them around for a long time. I used them with great success.

    In Australia we still use “Yorksil” fittings which can either be silver brazed or soft soldered. These days I have to ask for “capillary” elbows or tee pieces as most of the young counter staff are too young to know what Yorkshire fittings are. Keep the videos coming as I find it interesting the differences between how plumbing work is done in the US as compared to here in Australia. Good on ya mate 😁👍

    @@mmplumber I was going to ask about this as well because it's something I don't see many plumbers doing but the air conditioning guys always seem to do it. One thing I've noticed is that the automatic cutters leave a much larger burr than the manual ones - A burr so bad it takes forever to remove. I've found that the Javac Edge Mini Tube Cutter (JAV-1010) works much better for this - It still has a spring so you manually set it to the "hard" copper setting and then just spin it like an automatic cutter. I've found that it leaves a fraction of the burr that you'd normally expect. I'm just an amateur so I can't say how well it would hold up to regular use, mind. It's a very neat job you've done, btw.
