Man , you have the highest ratio of valuable information per minute of any RUclips videos I've seen. Subscribed! I may have to re-watch these every once in a while to keep these tips in mind when the need arises.
Love your tips and tricks. 68 in BC. Been doing my own plumbing for four decades and still find your your videos helpful. Wish you were around forty years ago.
I am a Journeyman service plumber in colorado.... these are great tips... in our trade ...if you don't learn something new every day.... your doing it wrong .... God bless you and your family....Peace
as someone in HVAC these tips are really good and most of them are relatable to real problems I have had. most of these "life hack" videos are crap but yours are amazing.
Liked the tip of using the rubber handles of your channel locks to loosen the faucet aerators! This will work for any chrome screw-on fixture, such as shower heads and wands, for example.
I’ve been surfing the web for more than an hour today, yet I was unable to find any stunning video like this one. It’s alluringly worth it for me. Keep posting more such amazing videos.
Plumbing has come along way over the years. I work at the VA medical center and we have a few freeze machines that will freeze a line without a valve and we use a Pro Press to crimp the fitting on. We also have a Add A valve that bolts to the copper and cuts a whole in the line to temporarily shut it off until you install a valve. Shark bites are good for certain situation but not with anything that you don’t need movement. I have a B tank with a rose bud tip for soldering along with a oxygen and acetylene tank for silver soldering or brazing. Pex is also getting more and more popular over copper in new homes. We do all the plumbing, pipe fitting and maintenance with 3 guys with over a million square feet. We stay pretty damn busy! Great videos for new ideas, I’m always willing to learning new things and sharing with others!
Many thanks! Love drilling small holes before using a large hole saw. Drilling a bunch of large holes will wear you out - even with a handle on your drill.
Thanks, I'll be using the dye in the toilet tank idea and also the sandpaper or pumice stone in the bowl tip. There is a steady dripping into the toilet bowl but the tank never seems to lose water? I've replaced ALL the guts in the tank including the rubber gasket between the tank and the bowl and still have the constant dripping or water lines on the inside of the bowl coming down from the top of the rim. I live alone and no one else uses my toilet. When I get home from work and look in the bowl there are wet water lines running down the bowl. I got nothing.
A ball of bread works very well inside the pipe to stop the water so you can soldier. Once the water is turned back on it will blast the bread to pieces and dissolve it.
@@telocho Bahahahahaha too funny, I'm gonna leave that one alone! learn from Telocho- don't feed yer H2o pipes health nut bread! It will constipate them instantly!!
I have done the vinegar soak for the shower head, it does soften the deposits but still needed to get in each hole with a small paperclip to further loosen up the debris
I use a wet dry shop vac to remove standing water from pipes before soldering. The vac can also be use to remove water from the toilet trap before removing bowl.
With so many comments it probably has been mentioned, but an additional tip about threads is that MOST of them are cut to a 60 degree angle, so a small triangle file is the trick to fix nicks or other problems.
Plumber here in Alabama....like the channel...also when removing shark-bites it's best to push the fitting when trying to release it....it'll help the teeth release easier...
i have used needle nose pliers that way to remove them. they are skinny enough to fit in tight places so you can apply pressure on the plastic ring with the pliers while pushing inward on the fitting.
You don't need wet/dry sandpaper for hard-water stains on porcelain. There's a pumice stone specifically for removal, called 'Scouring Stick' made by Pumie. They're ~$3 at home-improvement stores, and last for *years* cleaning normal toilets. They're softer than the porcelain, and won't scratch/damage it.
That's true, although the stone works very well, there's a bit of extra work involved as its quite rigid and doesn't adapt to the curves in the bowl so easily. Next time I may try the sandpaper:)
@@la196 The pumice wears down pretty quickly and conforms to whatever shape/curve you're working on. Try wetting the end of the stick and it will soften it.
@@mestizoboy Absolutely, when it starts wearing down and starts conforming nicely, that's when it starts working its best:). No need to be a little afraid of a little toilet water, just got to get in there and go for it. Works incredibly well!

Great tips and techniques. I've learned the hard way to never use sandpaper on porcelain. Eventually the scratches will show, and the scale will build up faster on those tiny scratches. Use white vinegar instead.
I've heard the same concern about sandpaper (or pumice) on porcelain. Since the stain is at the water line, it's hard to get the vinegar where it's needed. I drain down the bowl, then put paper towels wetted with vinegar along the water mark, above the drained-down water line. Give it a few hours, to break up the scale, then scrub it down with a toilet brush, or worst case, a melamine sponge / Magic Eraser
i must say a scouring stick aka pumice stone works very very good, it feels like you will scratch dont worry ,,,,but it really works better than anything i have used
If you have a drip on a pipe that won't stop, get some cheap old white bread and stuff it into the pipe a ways up. The bread will absorb the water, act as a dam. Afterwards, when the water is turned on the cheap bread will just turn into mush and be flushed out. Works awesome.
Old trick: To solder a pipe that can't be soldered because it continues to drip, stuff it with bread. The bread will stop the water while you solder. You can use as much bread as you want, it will wash through when you turn the water pressure back on.
@@keithsmith5908 And you know this, how? This is a well proven trick, and plumbers have used it for many years. You are totally wrong, the bread dissolves... I think you're not talking from experience, but you are guessing, and 'talking through your hat!
Keith Smith its a tried and tested method. If you’re installing on a line with aerators or something and youre concerned simply remove the aerator when recommissioning
I have done all of these tricks for yrs but the shark bite string trick was Awsome and the channel locks turned around was very cool. Can't wait to try this one. 👍👍
@@Got2Learn Agreed ... I clicked on this video because it say "15" hacks and the video was only 4+ minutes. When I see "5" hacks and a 15 minute video, I dont even bother.
Another tip that I like to use to unclog a drain is using the exhaust side of a shop vac. I do it once a month just for preventative maintenance. Just make sure you plug the air vent before you do it.
Stuffing a leaky pipe with bread will allow you to solder, then the pressure will blast it right out. Also makes a delicious crispy smell when you sweat the pipe

Citric acid is my go-to for removing deposits. If you can't find citric acid, lemon juice works - it has a lot of citric acid in it.
The solder belt tip is the best! LOL!
