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!

    Never seen a rad marked out that way before! Great pipework as always 👍
  • @andyd2528
    That pipe through the wall is full of dirt which could damage the boiler. Tape the end before you push it through.

    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

  • @Bigtel1970
    Not a criticism, more of a curious question… why do you cut ‘the middle bit’ out when fitting the tee - surely you’d cut once then just slide along?
  • Perfect video thanks!! So run pipes above skiting. So how high approx is bottom of radiator from the floor?
  • @lennykelly9952
