@jeffreyplumber1975 yes u can press type m. Old type m gets really thin over time so you gotta be careful. Sometimes it's too thin and the fitting will seep
Many methods. Suck it out with vacuum or a tube, Freeze the pipe (This is used if you don't want to turn off water to the building you're working on like large commercial facilities), use a jet sweat (inserts into the pipe and expands to prevent water from coming back when soldering on a fitting. Usually used with an open ended fitting so you can remove the jet sweat), Shove some white bread into the pipe to absorb the water (The bread will hopefully dissolve completely when reinstating water), and many more!
Great job. I have seen plumbers use a coupling on a soft copper then sweat a type L copper pipe to the Propress fittings for the Propress Tool
Great video can you please explain the issue with the pipe that might cause a leak?
@@gm1937 propress sometimes will crush type m copper too much and cause a tiny little seepage on the propress fittings
good explanation on your installation, awesome you called them...all the tips and tricks are very helpful, thxs for sharing...
Nice job Type M not rated for press ?

Just wondering if there's water in a pipe how could one get it out to solder?

jet sweat, put in a spray bottle head and spray it out, those are what i do, or use a shop vac
thought you are not supposed to have a PRV upside down
doesnt matter as long as you have the direction of flow in the right direction
GOOD JOB SEE YOU NEXT TIME
Another cool install. These meters seem to be getting way too smart LOL. You obviously got this though bro!
Insurance companies are getting intrusive now. Good for plumbers I guess
Hell yeah!
