It is a bit daunting but being in your brother's place should put you at ease a little. Just take your time and plan ahead as best you can.

Good luck with the project.

If your Brother wants to do some joints because "that looks simple enough I think I'll have a go".

Make sure they're somewhere you can easily cut them out when they leak.
And re the above, don't leave your tools around so he can have a go when you're not there.

Brother or not.

I was trying to think of a smart harris comment as a comeback but I just checked the photo out and the wiring does look a bit wayward!

Why don't you solder fittings?

Very expensive way of doing a small domestic job

Still do but turned out we saved a day of labour only took 2 days to install instead of 3

Nice work Shaun, any reason for running the hot in 22 on a combi though.

Ahhh that's what they are.. Are they they ones you have to press together with a press tool?

Yes and gray about the same price by the time you talk of solder flux and time to do it and clean it

But the only cost is the tool but that's like anything

and jay you started yet how you getting on ?

 

[jaydebruyne]

Start Thursday morning.. I'm quite looking forward to getting stuck in 🙂

Depends what your paying for them!!

 

[ShaunCorbs]

these are the lowest around on the internet

Geberit Mapress | Pipekit

but if you buy from the local bss you will get them cheaper depending on your terms

Oh my word... 1700 squid for the pressing tool?

yea thats the only prob

thats retail so take with a pinch of salt they can be bought from 700 - 1200 realistic

or buy a few fittings and have the tool for free speak with the geberit rep for that

Think for now I'll stick with soldering - I don't do much install work at the moment - that's a privet tool but if it makes installs quicker and easier that's good
