    Dude you've saved me some money and I learnt a new skill. I followed your instructions to the letter and managed to isolate and cap a rad from my bathroom .... This was a first for me so I really appreciate your tutorial 👍🏾
  • @christopliss9947
    I have been watching your vids while replacing my entire bathroom.. the rad is my next job, I had lost some confidence recently, but you have got me back in the groove.. thanks mate!!!
  • @kirkbode6533
    Thank you for talking so fast! I love it because we can get through it without tons of pauses--getting to the information! Thanks!
  • @user-vd9uc3xq2o
    Cheers for taking the time to make this video! Helped me out massively, had a radiator to remove in our downstairs living room and followed your video. No issues or leaks. Also followed your "adding inhibitor" one too whilst i was at it, but used a syringe as opposed to your patented contraption :) Cheers for you help!
  • @jasonspriggs5106
    Mate thanks for doing this video, I'm doing DIY at home, followed everything you said and everything's done, saved me a lot of money, cheers pal 😎

    You've saved me so much money with these videos. If you're ever in Ireland I'll buy you a beer 😊 (I'm about to do this job except I've got copper pipe sticking out of concrete 😠)
  • @ChoppingtonOtter
    Glad you mentioned the inserts. I am constantly amazed how many people seem to leave such a basic step out and then wonder why they get leaks.
  • @davidurwin2675
    Hi Thank you for all your plumb vids it has helped me out with plumbing issues Stay safe 👍
  • @BITTYBOY121
    Hey, Wouldn't it be better and less hassle to just isolate the radiator by just turning off both the valves ? That way if there is ever a very cold spell the owner still has the option to put the radiator back on in the room instead of having to have it refitted again. Great vids BTW - Keep em coming!
  • @mavezy
    Excellent video James! These are my favourites as well as plumbing disasters. My boiler was loosing pressure a few weeks back, lucky it was down to a leaky blanking plug at the top of the rad.
  • @2326TOM
    Love how he put the "insert" in.
  • @zool0941
    yeah james quick question i can only find tesco's own tortillas not old el paso? is that going to be an issue or am i just over-thinking this one? on a serious note - love the videos, you've helped me fix pretty much every plumbing element in me 'ouse...
  • @plumberparts
    BEFORE YOU SAY plastic caps aren't the best solution....but they are part of it! You can use compression ends on plastic pipes. Got those beers by the way!
  • @ukdc-acdctribute1142
    Quick question, is it possible that capping off like this will stop the feed to another radiator in the house, if they run in sequence, so to speak. Without knowing whether this is the case, is it OK to join the 2 pipes together rather than capping them off. Thanks.
  • @barrydoherty636
    Can I ask, why didn’t you join pipes together under the floor?
  • @danielott8359
    Great video as ever. Had to do this last week and thankfully nothing went wrong, but still learnt some cheeky skills watching this! Thanks for such an awesome channel, you rock!
  • @HalfNuked
    my radiators have soft flexible tubing that comes out of the wall, how do i cap those off?
