Chrome pipe bending and filing

[ShaunCorbs]

Bending looks a lot better and shows the customer that you take pride in your work.

Also shows your a plumber not a handy man

The work of a handyman and compressions.. lol I lowered it yesterday and changed the valves to straights and put a couple of offset bends

And I think I see cheap isolating valves on the pipes as they come out of floor? Absolutely hate them and definitely not for heating pipes

I agree with that Sir. Horrible things and more often than not useless and leak !
I never use them on heating systems.
They seem to be on everything at the moment.

I totally stopped using them even on cold supplies to toilets etc. I only use the good quality full flow valves on hot & cold supplies and I never use valves on heating pipes unless lever or gate valves that are there for good reason.
Too many DIY or " I am a plumber" type people doing plumbing who have no idea really. The isolating valves just makes their job easy to stop water flowing

Same here. I can't see the point in fitting restrictive leaky valves everywhere.
In my opinion, if you're a decent Plumber, you don't need them anyway. More often than not you can manage to shut off or drain something whilst you fix can't you?

It drives me insane, going to repair something only to find you have to replace the leaky isolation valve as well LOL.
Same with those quarter turn pump valves and drain taps at the bottom of the heating system that fill with gunk and the washer rots onto the seating.

Rant over !

Cannot stand quarter turn pump valves, if I need to change a pump and I see those my heart sinks.. I know the minute I turn it, if it turns at all, it will leak and won't stop. So always just replace them with gate pump valves

Looks wrong and ugly and same amount of time as bending a set

i ment coming out from the wall in to the valve the elbow would be in the wall to the heated towle rail
