Doesn’t help with that specific tray it states not to use a flexi on the waste and 90% of the ones I see when I’ve been doing pipework in the ceiling void below the fitter always seems to use a flexi lol
I don’t know what’s underneath it on this one so I can’t say…. But I know what you mean
Hi Mark, I have seen one like this before it's a Woodford Model 22. They are good with a antifreeze design system. A bit pricey but you do get what you pay for. Good video thanks
Great bits of kit
Yep, always freeze up, and the Oring blocks the check valve. Put 1 upstream inside, always better
You’re the first person that’s said they freeze up….. so many people saying these taps if fitted correctly are brilliant at not freezing up… and I can see why👍🏼
@@MJTiffPlumbing I've had a load of Bib tap checks lock up, 90% of the time I just removed them. It's pretty pointless anyway these days. I've seen American fit them type outside, some they even cut down the spindle length
Good idea, but ! How do they cope with frost. Just seen them on amazon and ebay not identical but same thing.
Just disconnect the hose and they are perfect…. They are the best outside tap for frost protection
Ideal for an outside shower, or filling a hot tub
Exactly that 🙌🏼👍🏼
Easy, pizzy mate
Yep👍🏼
I’ve got one of these which we fitted to hose our dogs down about 7 years ago. you don’t need cut the pipe down like that, you pop the colours off the front of the taps and unscrew, which allows you to take each plunger out and replace rather than buying a new tap. If the pressure isn’t good, you can take a gasket out. I would have sealed round the tap rather than seeing exposed screws. Cheers
Thanks mate, I haven’t cut them down… I cut the old tap to show people what was inside👍🏼
Yes mate, I just didn’t know if you realised that you could pull the pipe out.
Why don't just replace membrane? It is 2 min job.
Because I did this👍🏼
In Colorado, it’s all we ever install.
I can see why… they are great
Don't you just need to know how to weld & shit runs down hill?
Yep…. That’s it mate….. your qualified
I thought you knew everything Obviously not 😂
I’ve never said I know everything…. And never will👍🏼
They are what they use in America,when they frost proof the house for the winter 👍🏻
They are great
Brillient idea....washing the car...no more going inside , for warm water ...shower down after pool ...
Exactly that👌🏼👌🏼👍🏼
Do they comply with water regs ? ? …… 🤔
Yep
Prefer the longer videos. That’s common around here in older homes. From Alabama usa
Thanks mate..👍🏼
I live in the America and I have these Woodford Frost Free Sillcocks on my house. They are great. They shut off inside the house so they won't freeze. But 2 things. 1st make sure that the hose is ALWAYS disconnented when it's cold. 2nd when you instal them make sure that the pipes running in are level or as I did angle upwards so that there is now standing water inside after you shut off the valve. I originally didn't do my rear one and it would freeze close. But if you do leave a hose connected and it freezes the pipe will not leak until you turn on the outside valve.
Thanks for the info mate
@@MJTiffPlumbing FYI. These are rebuildable. You can get all new gaskets and even a new stem. The stem do come in different lengths because they facuets come in diffent lengths. I would also suggest a little Never Seize Compound on the end of the stem under the outside knob. They will seize together, different metals and will break the stem if you try to remove the handle.
yes seen them in spain
👍🏼👍🏼
Question, why did he have a hot water feed outside?
washing the dog washing the car etc. Every refurb or new build we do have hot and cold outside taps
Common to have hot water outside now buddy
MJ, like it, like always. Never seen one of them before, though you can have a hint it's foreign, namely American, from the controls. The Americans are accustomed to the gate valve handle types, I've seen some of their stop valves on toilet inlets with thick handles. They don't seem to involve stop valves with the slots for screwdrivers, or something straight. Though saying that, some of the European countries, Western European, sometimes use the same type handles. You know inside, I didn't note there are any check valves. Am I right? The supply to both pipes are separate, but they mix upon exit, and there's the hot supply, for whatever reason, getting to potentially get sucked down the cold cat 1 water.
Yep first time for me seeing these👍🏼
The longer videos Mark, I find them entertaining..full stop👍
Thanks buddy 👍🏼
Very cool 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks mate
Outside taps have to have non return valves fitted by law,amazing how many plumbers don't seem to bother.
Yep that’s correct👍🏼
Does it reduce the flow and pressure?
Not at all mate
15 mins for the straight forward jobs 30 or more for more in depth ones, but tricks and tips would also be winner with a lot of hits I should imagine👍
Thanks mate…. Noted
Looks like one of them American things 👍👍👍👍
Just seen you already said it 👍
Hahaha thanks mate
Any time for me is fine Mark, always seem to have better tackle in America some how!!
Yer your right
There dog 🐕 washes mate
Are they???
Hi Mark, jets watched the video. What a clever idea. I’ve never seen one like that I’m gonna research one thanks for showing us.
Your welcome mate
Fitted one of those for my parents about 10 years ago, still going strong
Great ain’t they
smart mate i,ll have 1 of them 👍
👍🏼👍🏼
Ejyptian Cotton hand towel……much cheaper, less hassle 😂😂😂
🤣🤣👍🏼👍🏼
Isn't there a requirement in the UK to have non-return valves fitted to outside taps?
Correct... but why bother with regulations..
Correct
Yep…. Was fitted…. Like I said in the video the GoPro was not running
Hi Mark, I have never seen an outside tap like that before but yes I do like it and think it’s a great idea. Film for me shorter or longer are fine, not a problem with any at all. Thank you for the info with the tap, great idea but new to me, I am always happy to learn. Have a great week and take care, regards Chris. 👍👍👍
Thanks as always Chris👍🏼👍🏼
Quick google of outdoor mixer tap found them. Can order different lengths depending on wall thickness. Also noticed you put the stop connector on the wrong end of the hose 😂
Yer had to swap that over 🤣🙌🏼
A hot tap for the outside, only in America.
Uk now😮🙌🏼
I have never seen one of them before but great idea
Great isn’t it
Yea fitted one about 3 years ago. Exactly the same. Customer provided and I don't know where they got it from though.
Same as buddy
How good is that i have hot and cold tap out side but there on different talps not a mixer tap like that one i love tap like that just had look got them on eBay but they are 160 pound do like tho
Never seen one before 👍🏼
@@MJTiffPlumbing no new one on me to mate
I like your vlog videos with mixed daily content
Thanks buddy 👍🏼👍🏼
Can't believe you slid the new tap through the wall without covering the open pipe ends! That's fastest way to take years off the units life with a bit of grit going in the seals or mechanism! Sorry to be that guy lol
Appreciate that mate…. If you look at how they are designed I don’t think anything would get down them👍🏼👍🏼
i always leave the taps open when i restablish the water supply.so any grit runs out and doesn’t get stuck on the seats.
The longer the videos the better Mark 🤘😎🤘🫖☕️🍪🎥👍👍
Cheers mate 👍🏼👍🏼
Brilliant Tap, The uk will be flooded with them after your video 😂 15 / 20 videos is always good to watch 😎👍🤜
Cheers Tony….. perfect sort of time that😉
Enjoy your video very much but I’ve got the attention span of a goldfish so I much prefer the shorter ones, cheers😊
Hahaha cheers mate
£150 on eBay
Is that what they are👍🏼
thank you for teaching me something new and interesting today 🫡
Your welcome buddy
Surprised a US made part would have compatible pipe size. Is it imperial size 1/2inch pipe? What type of plastic do you recommend for the drain pipe underneath? The one I have has broken down - developed a hole in the top from UV damage it would seem. It seems to be pushfit but grey but as far as I know all pushfit are polypropylene. I read in on lots of sites that specialise in plastic that Polypropylene is very prone to UV attack, ABS is pretty bad too and PVC not so much but it seems quite difficult to find PVC 40mm, not impossible but not available in the usual DIY places so would end up costing more for delivery than the actual pipe. So what am I missing? Is UV not really a problem?
I prefer 15min vids with educational/tips. Great channel.
Thanks mate👍🏼👍🏼
Never come across a tap like this clever idea when we get frost as the frost does not backtrack up the pipe and cause problems i do enjoy videos as you know i watch them all but about 20 mins or so are ideal thanks
Great idea isnt it…. And it works a treat
12:32 😂😂 you accidentally put the stop fitting on the input not the output, but I'm guessing you noticed, loving the videos and what a good tap idea
Thanks mate, glad you liked it👌🏼👌🏼👍🏼
Oh just an elongated tap! Genius
Brilliant isn’t it
