Ugh...globe shutoff valves. Have had those things get stuck before, and a quickie plumbing repair suddenly turns into a job that requires turning off water to a whole apartment building.
Yeah it adds a whole new level of fun!
Man...that's the cleanest "under sink area" I've ever seen!! Great vid brother!! Josh
😂 yeah you should have seen all the stuff behind me!
smart to add the male adapters👍 otherwise the next time would be super painful
You always hope there won’t be another time, but things happen. Thank you.
Cool install options I hadn’t seen before! And relevant for new home construction pex-installs!
Glad you found this useful.
If it's your 1st time working with PEX, I strongly suggest you practice (purchase a 4 ft piece at H. Depot, lowes, where ever) expanding and installing fittings in PEX b4 trying it on your line coming out of the wall. You only get one try to get it right.
That is a great call. Thank you b
my dad always liked to open those gate valves all the way he said then it had a extra seal with gate tight up to top against the packing to keep valve from leaking around packing nut. he was a plumber too I just like good quality ball valves LOL
I like ball valves as well. I have had gate valves stick and the stem snap in that position. We have replaced a lot at work on steam systems because of this.
Great repair job Brian 👍
Thank you Britt! Hope you are having a great weekend.
Another excellent job Brutta!
Thank you!
Good idea.
Thanks bro
Your welcome.
I have somewhat of the same issue under my kitchen sink.. bothe of the durl brass valves need to be replaced as they will not turn off. From what i can see there is only about 1.5 inch of pex sticking out of the wall. I pulled on it a bit but there really is no slack. I cant ell how it connected to the pex. I dont see any crimp rings to speak off. It looks like thrre is a compression nut where it slips on the pex but cant really tell without removing it. Also not sure if its pex A or B. Any suggestions.
I think it should be required to remove diffuser from the faucet to purge debris on a job like this......
Great job Brian!!! I don’t have the fancy expander tool…. Bummer
You can borrow mine anytime commander!
@@ThatFixItGuy you gonna drop it off? Would love to have you visit!!!
If you’re going with a quarter turn I have to agree go with Dahl.I bought an older home & they are mostly Dahl valves.I don’t know how long they have been there but it’s been some time & I tried turning them for maintenance & they all freely turn.I had a repair done with a Sharkbite & the hot water side is completely seized.The Dahl on the other fixtures are turning freely & I will bet they have not been touched in over 10 years +.
Try that method today , my brass is able to spin , is that right?
I use my dremel to cut the pex ring off. Usually take two to three cuts. It takes time, but you save pipe.
What happens if the stud pipe isn't long enough for the valve?
I saw a video where a guy put a bit of silicone inside every new ball valve before installed and worked it back and forth a bit. He said it keeps the valves from getting stuck in the future. I wonder if that really works?
That is interesting. I will have to check that out. I know the new valves are awesome. Dahl makes quality products.
@@ThatFixItGuy Thank you for the Dahl recommendation. I have some home fixes coming up where I'll replace a few valves.
If you don’t have enough pipe, install another valve in series. Leave the old one in the open position.
That would have worked as well. Thank you
What a mess with a valve sticking through the sidewall. Just wait for that to fail. Hopefully it won’t.
Yeah. So many around here this way.
another good reason to never have pex plumbing copper is the way to go.
Even if pex is used it is always good to bring copper out the wall. It does not save that much money.
@thatfititguy I need your instruments to fix mine
