This job wasn’t as straightforward as it should have been… In today’s video I’m carrying out a first fix for new radiators on a large system, but there’s a catch — we’re dealing with 10mm microbore pipework buried in the walls and the customer wants designer radiators with completely hidden pipework. Sounds simple… but it definitely isn’t. I take you through exactly how I approach first fixing pipework properly, including: • How to plan pipe runs for designer radiators • Working with 10mm microbore systems • The challenges of buried pipework • How to keep everything neat, level and ready for second fix • And most importantly… the mistakes you NEED to avoid There are a few moments in this job where things could’ve easily gone wrong — especially when trying to get everything lined up perfectly without access later on. If you’re a plumber, heating engineer or even a DIYer, this will give you a real insight into what goes into a proper first fix and how small errors now can cause BIG problems later.
