Never seen any like that before on copper pipework

Yes, 1970’s thick gauge copper always had that blue “Yorkshire” sticker on it. That would be old 1/2” imperial. I had to rip some blue stickered 1 1/4” copper out about 6 months ago from a 1970’s plantroom.

Hi Mark, I have been following your channel for a few months now and really enjoying your content. I'm wondering why you had to hook a new pipe and do a new T junction for the tubing to the left side of the radiator rather than just shortening the edge of the tube which was already there. Thank you

When you were connecting the newly cut pipes to the existing ones, what was that tool that you used that looked like a pair of pliers which made like a grinding sound? Is it like a soldering/torque/crimping kind of tool to hold the pipes in place?

I tried using loctite liquid on a towel radiator.. had to use a chrome tee on one side due to having a heating element.. left it overnight and was still spinning the next day .. ptfe tape is a physical barrier that creates a decent seal . Not convinced with liquid loctite...
