      If you are " on the job " and you need any reference from this video----> you NEED TO STOP PLUMBING!.. ALL of those things were below first day 101 stuff.. i know people wud like to believe this was a " how not to " video.. but its all common sense type stuff and no real parade necessary

      @@DECLANBISHOP actually these things are NOT common sense. Common sense is defined by being common. I’m not a professional plumber but I’ve been doing it for some 35 years, and have worked with owners of very successful plumbing business, very qualified and licensed contractors, the works. I never knew about the different types of copper pipe and their uses, nor that leaving flux on a pipe will corrode it. And just because a video is made to show people who otherwise wouldn’t know some of these things some important info to better their skill sets and help prevent plumbing disasters. It takes common sense to know common sense. At some point someone, whether an author or an instructor, taught you some of these things. The first time you had to cut a copper pipe, you wouldn’t have known about anything besides a hack saw unless someone showed you. You wouldn’t have known to make a very square cut, or how easily heat transfers toothed joints when sweating pipe. And most of all, using flux on pipe and putting it where you don’t see it to “magically” draw the solder into the joint is not something you just pick up by common sense. Nor would you realize how clean the pipe needs to be for this to work. Even if you had started out with a chemistry degree, that still wouldn’t be common sense. And that’s just common sense. No parade needed here.

    Plumber/ hvac tech here! Spot on with everything. Your right about dripping solder into the torch tip it happens to me all the time. Unfortunately, in many situations there isn’t enough room to get the flame on the pipe from every angle. More often then not, the only way I can get a flame on the pipe is from underneath.

I get all my guys together for mandatory mondays, is what I call it. I know how hard it is to make these videos and I(we) appreciate these more than you know, you make my job easier. If you could make a video specifically for homeowners and diyers, starting from scratch like youre teaching a baby, that would be great. I come in contact with ALOT of those people asking simple questions and if I had a video that I could say here, go watch this video, that'd be great. You could help me out and I could throw a ton of exposure your way. One more thing, could you maybe make a traing video with all your videos strung together into one long video that'd be awesome too. Just suggestions. Keep up the great work and keep the videos coming.

    Great info!! I have seen a case where someone placed a residential 1/2 inch copper line in contact with another copper line crossing it. The result being the one pipe has been etched into enough that it would eventually develop a leak. I took a piece of rubber and separated the 2 pipes. I still check it periodically (A different house). More so, My wife's 1988 T-Bird auto had a power steering hose which passed down the side of the battery case. Being out of sight, I never had any reason to look there. One day I was working in that area and checked the hose as it was old and I found it rubbing up against the edge of the battery case. I found a cut in it so deep as to make it a serious risk of rupture. Power steering fluid is flammable. !!!! Replaced it.

Does your union provide health insurance? Got any cool journey stories? Do copper and nitrogen get along? On 1/2” copper pipe which has not had the inside deburred, what is the maximum reduction in water flow in gph from the turbulence generated by the imperfection on the inner surface of the pipe? Do you use Teflon tape on compression fittings? Is purple PVC cement suitable for all types of PVC plumbing? Did you get fired from The Apprentice? Does Donald Trump really smell like black olives? Is his lower lip really held up with wires in his face? Do they really squeeze the Orange out of millions of Cheetos to dye his blood Orange?

      Rubber... no.. they will never learn with a rubber mallet.. something in a 3lb steel works better.. he did really fail to bring home the point that the solder will only follow the flux... and who flipping sliders anymore----> pro press, shark bites, Pex?

    When soldering caps on a closed system you want to equalize the atmospheric pressure on the inside of the pipe/system. While heating the joint, if you see air bubbling out of the solder being applied to the joint you might have a leak.
    To counter act this, apply a little more solder to the joint as it is cooling to allow the temperature in the pipe to decrease/equalize which will also cause a slight vacuum resulting in more solder being pulled into the joint. The ideal temperature to apply the solder though is when there is no more vacuum or pressure build up inside the system. And like stated in the video, slowly heat the pipe so not to cause over heating and give more time for that pressure to equalize. Nice videos! 👍

    Excellent. I don't know if it is still used for industrial settings but one time they would use silver solder for tying in the main supply line from the street for your house/valves, you should do a little silver solder video if you don't already have one and if it's something you use in the trade.

    Personally committed #6. I roughed in a basement toilet and forgot to cap it. I ended up with the smartest sewer rat ever. He ran away with sticky traps, broke out of spring traps and started lifting glue traps out of the way. I finally got him by hollowing out portions of apples, screwing them down and adding crushed poison pellets.

    Agreed with most of this video, only part I disagree with is when you say to crimp a cap to secure it. Smashing a fitting can cause your solder to not fully take around the smashed area and will most likely leak over time

    • @millomweb
      @millomweb 3 года назад

      So put a small hole in the pipe at the joint as a vent which you solder up with the fitting!

    • @HerkRants
      @HerkRants Год назад

      Not true. Crimping and swiveling is good practice. For one thing, you only need to crimp the very edge of the fitting, and after over fifty years of doing so, I simply never had leaks.

    Love it! As a plumber I already know theese things but I do enjoy watching theese videos. I would just like to point out.. in my area, in terms of residential dwellings like 2 to 4 story single family dwellings, we would never use type "m" for potable water. Always type "L"
    Type "m" is for heat only lol

      LOL - in the UK we just have copper pipe - it doesn't come in different 'types' ! Differences in wall thickness here are just don to the quality of the pipe. It seems Americans when it comes to stuff, always make the job harder with unnecessary complications !

    • @StilettoSniper
      @StilettoSniper 2 года назад

      In my area (southeast US), type M is code and commonly used for residential potable water applications. My entire 2 story home was built with it in the early 90s, the hearing is forced air.
