I learned the hard way 40 years ago, as a new home owner about frost free faucets. I did not get hose off in time and the faucet froze. Next spring when the faucet was put in service it had split inside the house and was leaking in the basement. Needless to say I had to replace the faucet. Thanks for posting your videos, I’m sure they help people to be better home owners with the knowledge you share.
Great advice Steve to the homeowner with removing the garden hose prior to winter. I work for my county water district for 15 years & have seen some unbelievable & costly damages due to homeowner neglect to remove hoses & draining exterior faucets. Please don’t chance it & invite serious destructive freeze up damages. Trust me it will happen if you don’t take the precautions of removing the hoses prior to winter. Martinsburg, WV 🇺🇸
I work for a water utility in New England and a lot of people have outside showers that never get winterized and let go. Usually late at night a cop will find it and call it in to us.
Steve... I enjoy the Beckett burner videos the most. I learned so much, saved so much money and get a chuckle out of the customer interactions you have. I haven't had a service tech out here in over 6 years since I started following you... I have a shelf stocked with filters, AFG nozzles, electrodes, electrode gauge, transformer, pump, screens, line blow-out kit for compressed air. All have been used and now stock on my shelf. The Bio Slime had me changing the wool filter 2x per year. I just upgraded the filter assem from General 1A-25b to 2A-700B which gives 2x surface area on the filtration. hopefully gets me through one season. What a mess they made..
I can remember some of your videos from years ago where you said in the comments you didn't need a knee pad, which I'm sure was true at the time. Welcome to the club. 😂. Thx.
Steve that black Pex looks like irrigation line but it shows up (Pace Supply) as being more suitable for freeze conditions? Also seems to have different crimp fittings? As if there's not enough types already with PEX type A , B , C, red, blue, white, and now black... Great job!
Love the videos! knowledgeable and entertaining, but couldnt help but notice you didnt debur the inside of your copper. gonna have potential issues in the future. Still, great vid and keep it up
@@stevenlavimoniere Im also a plumber in MA. When I first started, I never reamed the pipe for years. Randomly started doing it one day and never stopped since. It states in the code that the pipe has to be “returned to full bore” (Reamed/Deburred) when soldering

Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again y’all. 👍👍
I always take the hose off before Winter. The last house I lived in also had a separate valve inside that shut the source of the hose water off.
You never have to worry about Steve burn-in down the house!!!! He don't even blacken the wood!!!!!!

No one needs knee pads, till you need them 🤨🤨
i use them to save my knees before they go bad besides i like the soft area to kneel on makes for a easy comfortable job
Good idea.
My orthopedic looked at my knees and said "are you on your knees alot?" Haha. Electrical trade is same. He knew by looking somehow
Good job Steve.

I think it is vinegar PEX … those are their proprietary “press” fittings.
Viega

Hi Miss Molly
Hello Steve!
👍🏻
Hey Steve!
Nice job Steve f the keyboard warriors
If you had a pro press, you would’ve been done five minutes sooner fittings hold just fine half the work and more of the peace of mind
real plumbers use a torch ..
Way too close to the pex to solder.
pex had water in it instine
