im doing a corse with t4ts. stuck on sceniano 1

[bl1ngboi]

i have done everything i can think of for replacement of the ball valve. i seemed to have done it the first time but cant understand what i have done. anyone done this. you have to drain a bit of the main water tank. but how. plumbing scenario 1 t4ts

 

[heinz57]

Tie up the ball valve then drain off some water from the system, if you can isolate the supply to the ball valve first, there should be a isolation valve (silver compression thing about two inches long just before the ball valve), if not isolate the main supply, drain down and put on a service valve for the next time.

try turning on the hot water tap for 10 second dont forget to replace the tank lids.

You need to isolate the water supply to the tank, go to the bathroom and run the tap to emty the tank, then fix the float operated valve or "ballcock". Also you need to replace the stop valve under the kitchen sink. Dont forget to do a full cold water system check which involved checking all isolation valves on toilets sinks ect and run all the cold taps to make sure they are 20 degrees..
Im not an experienced plumber but I completed this scenario the other day hope I have helped.
If any of my terminology is wrong hopefully someone will correct me.

Hey I can't help with your question sorry but just wanted to ask some advice about your course. I'm weighing up my options as to the best way of getting into plumbing and thinking of doing a course like yours. What is your course like is it good? How much have you paid if you don't mind me asking and would you say its been worth the money? would you reccomend it to others? Which qualifiaction are you doing and have your course coordinators helped you with looking for work for when you are qualified? Finally where are you doing your course? So Many questions sorry! Any advice would be greatly appreciated though cheers buddy and good luck with the rest of your course!

[Dannypipe]

Who/what are t4ts?

 

[Phil]

I'm guessing its train 4 trade or something like that, I think they need to teach them more real world plumbing though.

 

[Dannypipe]

Ah, right. Is that one of these online plumbing training things?

There are somethings where reading can only take you so far...plumbing one of em.

I spent the whole of today crawling around in a loft, banging my head and cursing at my career choice. I think all new recruits should do that for a week, if they come back on week 2 you know that they're serious!!!!
