How much did you pay for your press tool Ron?
Oha harvest it’s actually on old version of rems.. it still has a wire. I’d actually prefer cordless but as long as it works I won’t buy a new one. You can get already crimping machines for a decent money. Definitely worth the penny. I don’t solder no more I used to a little when I used to be an apprentice and when I got here in uk but have changed back to crimping.

Did you get it second hand?

I got my first one from my old company. Once I left the country I got my second one from my mate which is kind of second hand. But as mentioned still with a wire. I would most like get a cordless one if I was you. I’m super happy with it. It really speeds the works up, it’s no hazard to the property, you can cut live water pipes / put a valve on and crimp. Had to do this many times.
 
Hi guys just an update on my saturday's install.
Thank you first of all to all for giving always a great advise and help.

Would you recommend putting a plume on ?

Very neat.
Is it an 825?
Are the 22mm capped pipes for power flushing?
It doesn’t look like 300mm to the door so yes a plume kit is probably needed.

Hi Scott,
Yes it is a 825. The capped 22mm ends are for future if somebody doesn't have the adapter so he has got an option to flush from without the need to cut into the pipework. It's not really 300mm so I will return and get the plume connected. I had one with me but the bend was missing for the terminal.

I'm happy you like that one.
 
Nice work, but yes on the plume kit. Too close to the door opening and an internal corner.

One more thing, seems as your going back, for the sake of your reputation please change that hideous black clip for a white one 😱🙄😀😛

Totally agree with you I run out and it was late so I had to use what I had 🙂 but much appreciated for the honesty

Seems a bit over the top

The tees sound like a lot of time and money for fittings for somebody else’s benefit!

I actually use the connections too when I do an install as I do not think it's really good to remove a rad to flush. I also haven't got yet the a spirotech adapter so it's fine🙂 don't think it's much over the top but beneficial
