Tried to fix a leaking toilet and now I just want to say: I respect all you professional plumbers.

they make it look easy

I love the “simpler” videos you keep knocking out. It doesn’t matter how “big” your channel gets, you’re not afraid to do the basic tasks. I trained as a plumber for two years and due to age ended up having to go alone. I couldn’t afford to be an apprentice wage. Long story short I gave up because I made some mistakes over time that just knocked my confidence. I’m now a desk warrior 😕 I love these videos because although I’m not doing it anymore, I still get to learn from the professionals. Keep it up James!

For someone who knows nothing about plumbing and who works in a plumbing depot these videos are slowly helping me! Thanks!

You Make Plumbing Look so Easy And Fun Thank Goodness U have made this Video On how to Install a Side Enrty fill Valve toilet . Must admit i Will Have to watch this A few times To get use to fitting

Love the fluid master procp packs keep a couple in the van. They come with a dual flush syphon cable operated, a brass shank bottom inlet valve and all the bits to fit most cisterns. Can get them from city. They also stock the parts separately to replenish parts if you dont use the full pack.

Hi James. Another tip for checking if you've got a leak into the toilet bowl is to get a piece of toilet tissue and hold it against the back of the bowl (as long as toilet hasn't been used for a while). If get immediately wet, then you've found the leak. Gaz

Great video as usual - I noticed you used a push fit on the flexy - how good are they (I tend to use a compression joint) and is there anything I should do to ensure they don't leak when refitting. See you of Thursday on Ale Army, for the usual beer rants, banter and laughs as usual. Hold Tight!!

Excellent ! Request for future videos on toilets - concealed cistern + weak flush + how to set up a greater than 6 litre flush.

Nice vid, Jimbo. It would be really handy if you did a vid on toilet installations with a vertical soil stack in the ground. Using the question mark/flexible waste? Just an idea 👍🏻

You make me laugh 😂and informed.. excellent

Nice vid.. thanks keep them coming 🙏

those fluid master they are a dream to install and easy to adjust.

Hiya. I've recently just subscribed to your channel. And very informative it is.Have you ever done a video on converting an old cistern with a side flow valve. Into a twin flow system?

Thanks!

Nice too have a large rubber on there 🙄🤔😂😂 never know with you haha another great vid, great channel, full of the very best advice and content 👌

Hi there and really enjoyed this video, very informative and easy to understand, I would like to ask something about toilets, basically in my flat there is a bathroom and to the right is a separate toilet, I would like to know if it is a good idea to install a secondary toilet in the bathroom (with obvious modifications to the where the basin is now) being also ground floor flat please..........technically I suppose that would be OK,however in reality there would be 2 toilets next to one another about 60 cm and separated by a wall.......would that work? thanks and I would appreciate if someone could give me a guidance..........🙂

Newbie here, how strong does the wall have to be to take the weight of the older cistern if it’s not testing on the pan? My wall is just plasterboard and not sure where beams are.

i use 15mm talon pipe clips to fix the cistern to the wall. great vid..

Hi James, is one toilet shorter than the other? As in the waste pipe on the right, does it have a lower height than the toilet on the left? Just wondering thanks

Lol the one bit i needed to see was you unscrewing the flexi pipe and it was sped up 😄 please can you show how to undo the pipe from the toilet? I’ve had really bad trouble with mine where it seems like the pipe is really stuck on the plastic screw 😩

Can we use flexi toiler pipe into 4inch fittings???

Can you do a video on replacing the filling loop valve next to a pressure vessel please? 😄

Hi my loo needs replacement, it seems to have the widest pipe part on the left side is that a named pipe ? What do I order what’s it called ? as I need all new pipes ,, cheers

I am not seeing the bowl refill hose on this new valve like I have seen on every other fill valve. How does the bowl get refilled? Thanks.

I have a side entry ball valve can I swap it for this one I'm not sure its compatible

Why isn't there a speed fit type flex with a valve and a female connector to a 20mm cistern fill valve ?

Need an idea how to connect another toilet pipeline to a new toilet made just next to that room. The pipeline coming from the old toilet is a floor toilet pipe and the new one is gonna be a wall pipeline as there is big sheet. Can you please give me any idea? Will it work if I do that. I mean can use the toilet perfectly right? Its just an idea I have for a new toilet.

Great video as always, I wonder can you answer a question. What do you call the rubber connection that goes into the back of a toilet bowl from the elbow pipe, thanks.

Hi James and everyone I've been using the fluid master bottom entry bottom fill a lot on all my toilet upgrades I've been doing. Would you use these or should I start using the air gap floats on future installs?

@chrispowell1866

3 жыл бұрын

The old black and red ones are being phased out as wras discovered they are not to water regs. You can get away with it with a double check valve but that's adding further costs. These air gap ones are just as easy to install but don't have the same height adjustment. If you have a short wide cistern, they will not fit.

Very useful video once again i am just wanting to know,is there such a thing as high and low-pressure valves anymore,or do all the modern valves just self adjust.

@ChristianBHough

FluidMaster says that the airgap6000 is compatible with both. On a mains feed, you keep the little insert at bottom of the brass shank in and when you have a gravity fed system, you remove it.

What topics in maths do you need for plubing I'm 13 and taking my gcses next year

No L brackets under the low level cistern?

Also, be interesting to know what these are like in hard water areas. At least once a month I have to clean the scale in my fill valve 😂

I've just asked screwfix when they are planning to start stocking these as they currently dont. Brass all the way for me too. I never buy the fluidmaster combo packs because of this, even if it's cheaper.

Just had a look on the Toolstation website and they stock them. A couple of quid more than the standard brass Fluidmaster valves. I’m with you on the old Fluidmaster combo set. Always brass.

Look like good valves. I find fluidmaster valves to be very good. However not so good for retrofitting to toilet cisterns with a conventional siphon as often a bit bulky to fit between the side of the tank and siphon. One needs a much slimmer valve for those. It also often pays to change the doughnut washer if having to remove cistern to change valve

I had a toilet/built-in bidet combo fitted a few weeks ago. With the international loo roll crisis of the past few months (😁) I think it'll come in handy.

16:53 if the cistern fixing screws are not rusted,and isolation valve works.🤔

I don’t like the flat rubber washer on the fluidmaster, much prefer the conical washer as they give an easier and better seal.

Hi James need to pic your brain when I turn on hot tap on bath or basin the pipes in the house hammer like a freight train and only way to stop it is turn on the hot tap in the kitchen how can I fix it ??

@user-pn3xc1rg3g

3 жыл бұрын

I'm not a plumber by trade but check the tap glands and if you have a header tank in the loft, check the float valve. They are both relatively simple tasks providing you know where to isolate your hot and cold water feeds. The header tank should have an isolation point on the rising cold water main.

The same with the radiators everything but the pipe work. 🤷‍♀️ not plumbing just DIY and following instructions already giving in information manual

Funny when you talk about leaking toilets, my neighbour both of her main loo and downstairs loo overflows are constantly trickling. Infact the front one, she decided to put rocks there to make it look like a waterfall?! This has been constant over the last 13 months. According to the wastage you quote for a days worth of a toilet doing this, then she's paid for nearly 150,000 litres of water and still hasn't fixed it. Tbh I'm more worried it's going to sink the foundations of her house, which mines attached to 🙄😭😂 Not really sure how you tell a neighbour 'YOUR TOILETS ARE FUCKING LEAKING" 👀👀👀
