  • useless

  • Removing the nipple on the radiator side with adjustable pliers? Spare me.

    For credibility's sake please get an internal pipe wrench. This makes this video amateurish at best.

  • This is rubbish.

    For God's sake, you don't need to drain down the whole system to change a bloody valve!

  • Did Homeserve put this video on here to get themselves some work?

    "If you mess it up after watching this video, you can always call us!"

    As long as they don't send the bird in the video round, you'll be fine. She's filmed doing just about everything wrong (Not her fault though. She's not even a plumber's wife).

  • @deathgrinful What money??

  • @jumpdance24 they are youtube partners taking your money watching this vid.

  • It is quite unbelievable that someone has done this video and no one on the production team knows anything about tools, central heating, boilers or plumbing.

    What a bunch of Muppets !

  • Well if your team carry out jobs like that then I should be able to double up my own workforce at your expense. PTFE Twleve times, what about opening the air bleeds before you disconnect the rad valve before you flood the downstairs..................

    and as the lads said below....inhibitor? There is a British Standard relating to central heating water quality you know!!!

  • @jubilee clips are tightened in a clockwise direction ( not as shown ) How ca they get things so wrong?

  • Four wraps of ptfe! try 20 but clockwise.
