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.How much did you pay for your press tool Ron?
Thanks scott, it’s nothing major but sometimes you cannot make gold out of a bad install. But I think the customer is happy that’s important.Nicely done
Did you get it second hand?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.

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.Did you get it second hand?
Hi Scott,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.
Totally agree with you I run out and it was late so I had to use what I had 🙂 but much appreciated for the honestyNice 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 😱🙄😀😛
Seems a bit over the topHi 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.
The tees sound like a lot of time and money for fittings for somebody else’s benefit!Hi Scott,

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 beneficialSeems a bit over the top

Good to know. So I will stick to the tails though. Are you still using the adapterI have the spiro adaptor not as good as flushing straight into 22mm though.
Not if I can help it mate.Good to know. So I will stick to the tails though. Are you still using the adapter

Common ground sound good 🙂Actually I do exactly the same thing and have done for decades. Finally we have common ground on😉
Lovely neat install.. well doneAfter talking to you all I added the plume kit and got rid of the black plastic clips🙂
Thanks for all the opinions and advises again.

Thank you very much. I love crimping as it is faster, cleaner and eliminates safety hazards. I can also do my works when water is dripping and if I have an issue with turning water off I can also cut live and put a crimping valve on. But as you know everyone likes different things.Lovely neat install.. well done
The only negative thing is
Press fit🙁
I love crimping as it is faster, .
Don’t see a prob with crimping as long as you have the other skills
I totally agree with you. Plastic is the last resort but sometimes worth doing especially in tight spaces.Everything has its place. I use a combination of soldered and crimping now. Same as using plastic, not my first choice but it has a place
Thank you KOP... that’s actually true though. It’s not a perfect install then. Next time, I will be more in detail and try not leaving anything to point out. I love when other engineers give honest reviews. I am not afraid of perfection 🙂 I will never reach it but I can reach always a higher level.Nice install Ron would have renewed the switch spur though bud it got to last another 10years . Kop
