Ive been in the plumbing trade 28 years, residential, commercial, and service and going out on my own this year ,and id hire you in a heartbeat !! Great work ,and the laser gives the best results ! HAPPY NEW YEAR !
Thank you 🙏🏼
No hammer arrester??
You don't need to keep checking the crimps. You check to make sure the tool is crimping correctly and than that's it. You check it every so often, not every time you crimp a couple rings.
Yeah, not to sound rich, but for me as a home owner hiring the work out to a skilled professional, then yes... happy to pay some extra bucks for the quality checks shown here. What I find irritating is paying the bucks only to have to call them out to fix it and/or damage the issue caused. That's just me, though, who takes pride in the quality of my work in my profession.
Is the framing a plumbers job or carpenter?
What's the best way to confirm the depth?
I made the same project in trade school today plumbing is fun in my opinion
Can I use shark bites instead of crimping?
Use a elbow out of the valve, then you don’t need a 90 and reduce the chance of leaks
Did you choose to use pex b or did you just walk onto this job? OR did they request pex b? It’s b for a reason, I know you have a cold expansion tool for pex a
It wasn’t my choice, my client already ran the PEX B, so I just continued the installation. PEX B is fine if you have the space to use the tools. But I really like PEX A because it’s more flexible than B and the M12 expansion tool is terrific in tight joist or stud bays
@@HomeRepairTutor I figured that was the case but I was curious, i really like the process of crimping but I worry about how well it can seal cause it’s just a little ring! I know it’s tried and true, on another note we bought a propress machine & it had a set of heads for crimping!!! It’s so cool
@@davebuilds7261 that’s awesome! Let me know how you like that over time. It’s a big investment but very interesting option when wanting to keep everything copper. What brand did you go with?
@@HomeRepairTutor we went with Milwaukee, it’s great however rigid has them beat with the compact jaw set, even the m12 propress has places it cannot get to, where the rigid can. Until Milwaukee comes out with a compact jaw set, I can only recommend the rigid propress
How high did you make the riser?
What about instead of using the FasTape using Hercules Megatape gray?
I like that as well
❤❤❤
Is there a reason you need to use a 90 degree fitting instead of slightly bending the pex?
Yes, unfortunately I couldn’t bend the PEX B without kinking it. But if you can bend it without a kink, that’s a good option. And one reason I like PEX A better than PEX B, it’s more flexible
Dope then tape !!!
Have you ever found one me that was no go with that checking guage . ..😂😂
Maybe once, and I just crimped the ring again
Can I use 3/4 pex B for shower?
Yes, as long as the valve can accept it
@@HomeRepairTutor The valve has 1/2 npt female. I can use 1/2 npt male to 3/4 pex b. Is this reasonable? I am installing a rain shower...
“I used decking screws” why?
Can you unthread those nuts after it’s crimped?
👍👍👍
Did you use 1/2 or 3/4 pex b?
1/2” as that was run to the bathroom for me by my client 👍🏼
If you had a choice, would you have used 3/4"?
Need to use better value
I agree, normally I use Delta but had to install this valve
Who the heck uses the go no go gauge 😂
It honestly makes me sad and hopeful how many steps you take to ensure you are not encapsulatef in a lawsuit. Good luck on your 1-4 generations may they be strong. I'm hopeful for a future generation who hires yours very honestly.
Rats love pex... but do they prefer PEX A or PEX B for their plumbing needs? 🐭💦
Rats love pex...
Use copper yo. That aint gonna last long
why does pex b exist?
pex A for the win! it blows my mind its used unless you have a high pressure situation.
all that fitting cost all those right angles the flow and pressure loss and turbulence and the annoying crimping
if i find out you use pex b i tell you your services are no longer needed hahahaha
My client ran the PEX B to the bathroom, so it was what they wanted; that said, I do prefer PEX A
Both work well, and actually B holds up to a higher pressure than A does.
You catch the recall for pex A a while back and the lawsuit against Uponor?
