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

Actually I do exactly the same thing and have done for decades. Finally we have common ground on😉

Common ground sound good 🙂
There are still things I would do better but sometimes the price won't allow for all items. I'd install some lever valves below the filter, deaerator and of course below the scale reducer just for the sake of service purposes.

Lovely neat install.. well done

The only negative thing is

Press fit🙁

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.
 
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
 
It's just the way you are trained over the years. I used to solder a little when I started working in UK but i went back to crimping which is what I like even though it's more expensive. I definitely do like rushing my works though as I am not happy in the end with the results. I think it would be fun to have a little race though😉

I totally agree with you. Plastic is the last resort but sometimes worth doing especially in tight spaces.

Nice install Ron would have renewed the switch spur though bud it got to last another 10years . Kop

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.

Thanks a lot for your input and giving more motivation
