It's a good repair when the owner can use their services at the end of the day! Well done and 5hit luck at that hour, mate 😱 😳😅 Without a doubt though, the owner needs a new main.
Just like most repairs, you never know what you're going to run across. I'm really surprised that you started that repair at 4:30 p.m. However, you got it done and no "leaky leaks" afterward.
My man. Ay mcdonalds, male to pex adaptor, and a piece of pex. Works perfect. Ay mcdonald is like that bolt dresser but better. Fergys should carry them. If not ask them to order some in 1/2 and 3/4 ips. They also make cts ones
Ran pex in the middle next time bro , its such a easier repair when its in the ground , uponor pex a is ok to go in the ground , i wrap it in 10 mil to be xtra , but you will never press hard pipe again , pex is the way
Never, EVER, EVER use press underground, inside inaccessible spaces or for a permanent repair. They are only good for temporary repairs!! You wouldn't get paid if you did that with me!
@user-zl1bh2gk1b I'm not trying to be a jerk but you're 100% incorrect. Permitted unground in soil, concrete and anywhere you can get your tight quarters jaws

you are such an underated channel. good stuff as always.
You handle curveballs and obstacles like a champ , great work as always
Time for a new water main line

Not janky imo. when dealing with galzanied thats pretty good. Ig just use two bakers coupling and pvc 80
show us a new 1"copper K line install in the future.
Oh man that sucks!!! That's a waste of a Mega Press fitting when something like that happens. Those suckers are expensive too!
@@MoneyMarcMes those fittings r like 70 bucks a piece too
Eventually there will be more leaks in that old line.
@@dfirth224 for sure
dressler and smith blair repair clamps was what we had BITD...temp fix was a pop can and hose clamps
Why did the first repair fail?
@@aaronbaraiya3692 old galvy is very brittle
Doing what you're meant to do, thxs for sharing...
I get repairs like that but usually they want to live with the repair and not run a new main . But that m ight be good for awhile
Ounce you start cutting others will pop up. 😂
Frankenstein 😅 you have to what ever it takes to get the water back on for her...was that around 7 at night?
she needs the main service line replaced if thats all galvey or black iron.
also isnt black iron only supposed to be used for gas?
@@Surgekoul yeah it's not approved anymore
Where did you purchase the screen for the hose?
Also interested.
@@MidwestFirecraft Amazon I think. I saw plumberlorian use one

Fixing old. Always a pain the arse. Plumbing, electrical, carpentry, mechanic or any other trade, it's always a lucky dip of problems.
Repipe time
@@charliegodinez9655 100%
Stupid repair. Using copper in the middle of an iron line will just accelerate the corrosion.
@@WApnj its a temporary repair so they could shower that night
@pershingplumbing9007 a very smart temporary repair...good job
