Stanley fatmax cases

Got mine from mole valley farm supplies they were the cheapest at the time ?
Or us the floor as that is a space normally wasted ?

Rack your van out and stock it with at least a bag of every fitting from 15 to 28mm, compressions end feed and plastic if you use it plus a good selection of 8 and 10mm. Take what you need into the job in a plastic bucket along with your flux solder and lamp and whatever else shyte you need. Makes it easy carried and when you are done empty the bucket back where it belongs (i never do and usually just add to the bucket).
I've probably got enough stock in the van to do 10+ heating systems and a lot more.
It all depends how you want to run and what suits you.

I use one of these for end feed fittings and burning kit. Bottom section is big enough for assembled Superfire & canister, big pot of Laco, couple of rolls of solder, burn mat and a fire extinguisher.

Top section can be removed and carried like a briefcase. Big enough to carry pretty much everything you need in 15, 22 and 28mm. Enough for a couple of system installs anyway.

That's what I use as well. Most fittings I need on an install plus 2"10, 2"8 screws red and brown plugs.

I used to have all my fittings in the larger fat max organiser and screws in the smaller all my soldering kit in a bucket so for piping a rad it took me 3 or 4 journeys just to get my kit in there.

This is my fat max rad valve kit. Max is in van eating
