Ratchet wrenches with various socket sizes are invaluable for tightening and loosening nuts and bolts in tight spaces, especially useful for ASHP engineers.

SIZE TENS ALWAYS GO MISSING :)

Grips

bishopisa2 — 2024-10-21 10:03:19 UTC

Also known as pliers, grips come in various types like slip-joint, needle-nose, and channel-lock. They're essential for gripping, turning, and manipulating pipes and fittings.

Spanners

bishopisa2 — 2024-10-21 10:03:19 UTC

A set of spanners (wrenches) is crucial for tightening and loosening nuts and bolts. Adjustable spanners are particularly versatile for plumbing work.

Allen Keys

Also known as hex keys, these L-shaped tools are essential for working with hexagonal socket-head cap screws, often found in ASHP systems and some plumbing fixtures.

Handbender Guide Bar

bishopisa2 — 2024-10-21 10:03:20 UTC

This tool helps in achieving accurate bends when using a handbender.

Handbender

bishopisa2 — 2024-10-21 10:03:20 UTC

Essential for bending copper pipes, a handbender allows you to create smooth, kink-free bends. It's a crucial tool for both plumbers and ASHP engineers working with refrigerant lines.

Spirit Level

bishopisa2 — 2024-10-21 10:03:20 UTC

A spirit level ensures that pipes, ASHP units, and other installations are perfectly horizontal or vertical. It's crucial for proper water flow and equipment efficiency.

Drill Bits

bishopisa2 — 2024-10-21 10:03:20 UTC

A variety of drill bits is essential for creating holes in different materials. HSS bits for metal, masonry bits for concrete, and wood bits are all commonly used in plumbing and ASHP installation.

Core Drill Bit

bishopisa2 — 2024-10-21 10:03:20 UTC

Used for creating larger holes in walls or floors for pipe passage. Core drill bits are crucial when installing new plumbing systems or ASHP units.

Blow Lamp

bishopisa2 — 2024-10-21 10:03:20 UTC

Also known as a blowtorch, this tool is used for soldering copper pipes and fittings. It's an essential tool for creating watertight joints in plumbing systems.

Torch

bishopisa2 — 2024-10-21 10:03:20 UTC

A good quality torch is essential for working in dark spaces like under sinks or in lofts. LED torches are popular for their brightness and battery life.

Heat Matt

bishopisa2 — 2024-10-21 10:03:20 UTC

A heat-resistant mat is crucial when soldering to protect surrounding surfaces from heat damage. It's an important safety tool for both plumbers and ASHP engineers.

Volt Detector

bishopisa2 — 2024-10-21 10:03:20 UTC

A non-contact voltage tester is a safety essential. It helps detect live wires without direct contact, crucial when working near electrical systems in wet environments.

Battery Drills

bishopisa2 — 2024-10-21 10:03:21 UTC

Cordless drills offer great mobility and are perfect for most drilling tasks. They're essential for both plumbers and ASHP engineers, allowing work in areas without power access.

110V Drills

bishopisa2 — 2024-10-21 10:03:21 UTC

These powerful drills are used on construction sites in the UK. They offer more power than battery drills and are ideal for heavy-duty drilling tasks in plumbing and ASHP installation.

De burring tool

bishopisa2 — 2024-10-21 10:05:26 UTC
