I was reading about air gaps and didn’t really understand it until seeing this video. Thank you very much for showing me
@Lightbluecollar Thank you for watching my video and commenting. I'm glad I was able to help
As in every trade out there ! Kinda like sex.... lol
Thanks....im a DiY guy replacing plumbing on multiple houses this vid is giving me the confidence to start using a torch and solder copper
@mariorebac5990 Good to hear this from watching my video. Thanks for sharing
OH good grief I hope every one is wrong about the snow = loved your message son
Old school, The only way. I can't imagine ever using sharkbites or crimp fittings.
@jeffreywhitlatch1409 Old school stuff works best, in my opinion
@@Rescueplumber-mcs It is best,
Sometimes we need a reminder
Many different parts, but these are the basic
That was a good vid son
@philipselman2564 Thanks, Dad.
I've seen bad soldering lead to a pinhole that set off a chain of events that resulted in a school bus full of nuns going off a cliff and bursting into flames at the bottom. I can still hear the screams. Anyway, this is a good video because I think it will help avoid these kinds of catastrophes in the future.
Wow all kinds of tricks
What do you charge per hour?
@gregsexton6544 I don't think that's something that needs to be discussed .
@ ok thanks I do a lot of plumbing work and I try to charge a fair price. Some people tell me I don’t charge enough. I’m not licensed but I’m very skilled. Also I’m a retired Engineer.
That's when you put an external tube on that and run it to a drain
@@kevin-jz2us Thanks for sharing. That's would definitely clean out the floor drain
Didn't demurrage inside of the cut
@@GeradBarron-n5z Not sure what you mean by DEMURRAGE inside the cut
Code mandates that the tubing be deburred to the full bore of the pipe lest it creates a pin hole leak.
@RC-qf1et Thanks for commenting. I knew this would come up in one of the comments ( I.P.C. 705.5.1 -705.5.5) does not mention that. Please send me details of where you found it? Honestly, .I'm glad I did because of all the commenting on this subject . Thanks again, and Merry Christmas
@@Rescueplumber-mcs It is in the UPC and it applies to all types of materials, copper, iron, stainless steel, plastics etc. Not reaming or deburring will definitely cause wear within the piping and in the case of copper will lead to pin hole leaks. I don't have the code section(s) on me but it is there. I am surprised if IPC does not mandate this as it is a must in piping preparation. Thank you for the reply, have a nice day.
@RC-qf1et Thank you. I will check into UPC book. I really enjoy the feedback
Lol dang pnt tnp line put a cap on it call er good. Lmbo DO NOT PLUG THIS IT WILL BLOW UP LITERALLY!
@@nathanforeman7135 Thanks for commenting. Something would give right!
I started early 70's, have always Face sanded my Fittings, chamfered the inside of my pipe, used just enough flux to cover the fitting/pipe not smother it in flux, Heat draws the solder in, squeeze is good. Keep up your good practices.
@@raymondjacobs8429 Thanks for the kind words. Bless you
What would youdo if the angels were wrong when you got back to the pipe, is it heat and move the pipe with no leaks?
@@Bailey-y9b Thanks for commenting. Reheat and adjust
I don’t know nothing about them son ha ha ha
Does it do this as a test when you first turn it on?
@@shanewilson8321 This was just turned on. Not even 2 minutes
Wd40, or any other oily substance will permeate the copper pipe and if you ever need to solder over that section it will often cause a leak. Soapy damp rag or even spray with some 409 is always the way to go.
@@mikemiller9030 Thanks for commenting. I did not think about the 409. I will try the 409. Thanks again
@Rescueplumber-mcs i just retired, but 24 years ago as a new apprentice we received a load of copper pipe that kept having leaks after soldering. Turns out it had gotten threading machine cutting oil on it in various spots LOL.
@mikemiller9030 WOW. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
It's dangerous
I didn’t see you ream the inside of the pipe, I was taught to do that
@BlakeOsburn Thanks for commenting. You are right. Sometimes, I leave stuff out just to get comments. Thanks for watching my video
👍🏻Thanks for sharing

@PhilipTrythall Thanks for commenting. I have a Master Plumbing License. Plumbing over 20 years . Not perfect, but thanks again
Is using to much flux a problem?
@@Rick-tb4so Thanks for your question. Not really. Oily and a mess is all
The biggest secret to soldering Is cleanliness! Wherever you apply the flux the solder will attach itself to it!
@@DaveBooth-qs7sw That's so true
Denatured alcohol cleans the flux off also! That's what I use!
@46miles Thanks for sharing. i didn't know that
Thank you 😊
You forgot to ream out the inside of the pipe after cutting it ! Another trick !
@elainerussell924 Hello, I thought it was pretty much a given, but I have got many comments on this topic, so I made a video of just that. Thanks for commenting
@Rescueplumber-mcs you got it magician!
Show us a couple of tricks ! Do you pull a rabbit out of a water line ?? How about some card tricks !!!!
@elainerussell924 Hello, the only real trick I know, and I show all the kids, is the one where it looks like i remove my finger. Hahaha
@Rescueplumber-mcs remove your finger from what ? Or should I ask !!!
@elainerussell924 Have you never seen someone slide their thumb on the opposite hand, and it looks like they removed the finger

Thanks tips … not a plumber therefor rarely tackle it @all differently can’t flux solder @ all but hvac for 29 yrs can & do braze copper all day long 15- 10 % sill floss …. why not. Flux . no idea , but need practice on some scrap pipe iam guess thanks new subscriber
@jmead6121 Thanks for commenting i probably couldn't braise at all
I don't understand why you just don't use alcohol or some other cleaner to get the flux off? You're eliminating all of the flux with something like that, I'm not sure that the WD-40 is going to do much other than let you rub most of it off and then mix with it and stay on the pipe. I guess I'll believe you if you have the experience and haven't had any call backs after a few years of doing this. thanks for the video
@faradaysage15 Helps remove oil residue and shines pipe
6:47 What are you doing with your right arm here? Are you swatting at flies? I can't figure out what's going on here
@faradaysage15 Yellow jacket is trying to get me
Didn’t know bout that WD 40
I’m sorry but if you give 5 plumbers a way to do something you will have 5 different answers but he could have propressed it all in and sweat the 45s in and wiped them . Master P !

A rag soaked with transmission fluid does the same thing
@@Jeffrey-y1d I did not know that
If you can do a good solder joint, you'll never have problems! To hell with shark bites and all those PP fittings that are xx amount of $$ every fitting you have!
@@erikbrantner4295 Thanks for sharing. Soldering is a skill
@Rescueplumber-mcs yes it is indeed!
In the house I just bought, it looks like whoever did some plumbing modifications did not clean the joints afterwards. Green funk has formed on about a dozen fittings, will WD-40 remove it? Or is there something else I need to do? I want to remove the mess before it causes major problems. Thanks
@olegearhead2483 Hello. Thanks for watching my video. I don't know this for sure, but white vinegar heated up some. I do know it kills mold! I would try it before anything else
How much solder for a 3/4" copper fitting, it's on most test?
The amount it takes to wrap around the pipe
@bartmormino907 Thanks for commenting. I never went to plumbing school. I could have looked it up to answer the question, but I taught on job training. Until it drips!
@@Rescueplumber-mcs that holds true for any diameter of pipe
The answer is the fitting size, for example a 1" 90 will take 2" of solder a 1/2" 90 should be 1" of solder.
@bartmormino907 Great information
De burr the pipe inside after the cut is recommended in plumbing school 😩
@alfasweden Thanks for sharing. Yes, sir, deburring is recommended . I think it's great so many people notice it was not done
Tricks to soldering 😂😂why are you still using it are you trying to kill peoples with lead poisoning 😮😮😮do you stand on your left leg with your right eye closed do you cross your toes jump up and down twice and turn around three times. Tricks 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hey Brother! Do you guys deburr / inside rim your pipe in your neck of the woods?
@JesusRamirez-gh6em Not always. When it's a large commercial building trying to get a lot of pipe installed in a 10 hour day
No ream of ID at cut, for piece of copper pipe? My Dad, as a contractor working under contract with the federal government during the 1960s, told me rotary "pipe cutters" were forbidden. Hacksaws were required, because that method of cutting didn't crimp the inner diameter of the pipe. Richard Tretheway of This Old House has more recently told how un-reamed inner diameters cause eddy currents inside the pipe, which causes uneven loss of copper and eventual leaks.
@johnbecich9540 That might be true, but I haven't seen it personally, and if i did, i wasn't aware that deburring caused the leak. I would do it more if that was the way I was taught
electrician here, we actually use Milwaukee cordless circular saws with metal cutting blades in them for our EMT. We have the same problem with ridges, it strips insulation off of wire. also if you ream that part after using one of those c-shaped cutters, you're thinning the metal out quite a bit. I'm a fan of solder but it doesn't matter if they use too much flux because it's just going to boil out and suck the solder in. I've never seen these shark bites used anywhere but Jesus Christ these contractors are so cheap these days they don't deserve things like this. they're already making so much money, spend the time and do it right. Your reputation is at stake and if you have to go back to fix a job you're working on something a second time for free.
Excessive flux can leave flux pockets in the joint. This is where the flux did not escape before the solder surrounded it. This means the solder in that section of the joint may only be millimeters thick. Over time normal vibration will crack the joint, causing a leak. You only need enough flux to prevent air from oxidizing the copper until the solder fill the void.
@1959Vento Thanks for commenting. This is a completely new term for me, flux pockets.
Very goor tip about crimping the fittings onto the pipe, Thanks.
@@billcoleman7316 Thank you for sharing. Some of the tricks of the trade i learn and don't mind sharing.
Never thaught about about using using WD-40 on sweating at all : but now I will : young dogs can teach old dogs new tricks ta taw !

Great info on the shark bite removal Josh
@rbennett-pr8nj Thanks. Sometimes, we don't have the removing tool but normally always have a crescent wrench
Love your videos clear and simple information thank you for sharing your experience
@rbennett-pr8nj Thank you for watching and commenting.
What type of flux do you recommend for water supply lines? Or does it not matter, thanks!
