This guy does it wrong every time he uses a compression fitting. He thinks it’s extra insurance against leaks or lubricates the threads when tightening, neither of which is true. If I saw this on a job of mine I wouldn’t be calling him back again. 🤡 of a plumber!
Pipe dope is to seal the threads when there’s no other way to seal the fitting… In this case, you used a copper COMPRESSION fitting. The compression ring seals the fitting, the pipe dope on the threads did nothing. If anything it caused a problem vs helping in my opinion. But as long as it doesn’t leak I guess that’s all that matters.
It’s not to seal the fitting in this application. It is to allow for a tighter compression as the pipe dope serves as a bit of a lubricant. No problem caused here. 😊
I'm a licensed plumber, and I'm sure you are as well, but you never use pipe dope on any type of threaded component that does not utilize the threads as the seal. Like in this application the compression ring is what seals the valve to the copper pipe. The threads do not receive water. Therefore, pipe dope on the threads is only making it harder for someone in the future to remove valve. It is not helping prevent leaks at all! I'm very surprised actually , looking at the tools and the procedures in removing the old angle stop, I would think the person has enough experience to know what I just typed.

Been a new construction custom home plumber since 1998, I’ve doped the threads on every angle and straight stop I’ve installed. (Literally thousands) Helps center the ferrule and helps lube the threads for a better seal when tightening.
The threads don't seal. They're straight, not tapered. The ferrule is the only thing sealing. Easiest way to find the people who don't care about their job enough to learn about it. Aka, hacks.

Thread sealant is not necessary on a compression fitting. Threads don't seal water...the compression ring does. All it does is make it harder to remove upon the next repair
The pipe dope is used as a lubricant not a sealant in this application. Faucet grease or in petroleum jelly would work to enable the compression nut to tighten enough to compress the ferrel. The brass on brass threads can bind up before getting tight enough to. It just makes it an easier install and the Blue Monster pipe dope is actually anti-seizing, makes it easier to take apart later if necessary.
I'm 76 years old and I have never seen a compression fitting in that position. I will be paying more attention in the future however...lol. By the way, a compression fitting gets it''s seal from metal to metal contact, thus there is no reason or benefit to put pipe dope on it!!
Sir I really hope you are retired. As a Tradesman myself I know how labor intensive the trades are and what long hours we put in constantly. You deserve a chance to relax and enjoy your life before it is over. Your generation and my grandfather's generation are sorely missed in the field.
Is this a compression fitting that seals with a rubber gasket like the supply lines, or a compression that relies on a compressed copper collar? If it's the latter, i don't see the issue with using tape or dope.
I hate those cheap 1/4 turn valves. They have a plastic ball, so if they get a shred of something in them while being turned off, they will never seal again. The old multi-turns could have the guts changed under pressure without losing more than about a gallon of water. Commercial buildings, sometimes you can’t turn the water off.

We used to use steel pipes for plumbing. In fact, I have some steel plumbing left in my 175 year old house. We have thousands miles of copper for pipes in USA homes and businesses now. Copper is the expensive norm. We are transitioning to PEX (plastic pipe) in many applications. Especially, in colder climates because of the risk of freeze-thawing (you guys know about that).
I constantly use it on unions and JIC fittings at work. Even though it’s supposed to seal it doesn’t. Everything is pressure checked and has to hold over night. But to add to it. Not like the pipe and flanges ever line up like the are supposed to😂
That was good work. Me I would’ve done it differently ripped out the copper so you never have to be down there with your head next to the toilet fixing it when it leaks again. And put that extra putty in there when it wasn’t needed that was a good job too. That thing should never leak again.
Probably did for the comments to be honest. But wdym don't put it on parcel threads? I know not to do it because the ferrell is the seal but if the threads were perpendicular would you seal it?
Incorrect. Thread compound dries out making it harder to remove the nut in the future. Which actually makes the seal stronger over time as long as it's appropriately tightened. Teflón tape is actually designed as lubrication if used correctly. Even though we use more of as a sealant. And i have not seen anti-seize that is code legal for potable water systems. It would contaminate the water supply from leaching.
@@djaa7 Well. I' m not plumber. just a handyman with rentals. But because I have experienced the nightmare of a seized nut on a thread in a plumbing job g to. someone before me, I vowed to not put myself in that situation if it was in my control. So I started using. RectorSeal soft set on plumbing jobs and when I have had to come back to remove that nut loose from that thread.,came off real easy. Never had one harden of seize up over time. Never regretted using it.
As long as he's not using tef tape it's a non issue, I use petroleum lubricant on compression fittings. Really helps the threads bottom out and get good compression on the ferrule.
Yeah man. I was just going to add my professional opinion (as a decorator) about whether or not he should be putting that blue gunk on the threads of that brass fitting, but someone beat me to it 🙄
Surprised he didn't just sweat on a threaded fitting, then add a threaded valve, so very easy to change out in the future. Compression stuff is great for the unskilled and also great for damaging the copper till you run out of pipe exposed beyond the drywall, then you are forced to cut & sweat on a sleeve, and extension pipe.
Thank god you put pipe thread sealant on the compression fitting. So many people are using teflon tape when everyone knows you use sealant because that will keep water from leaking out if the compression fitting fails. EVEN THOUGH THEY NEVER FAIL AND EVEN IF THEY DID THE SEALANT WOULDN'T DO A FRIGGING THING!!
Lol, compound on the threads. 😂 Wee bit wiped onto the pipe where the olive will sit, and a bit on the olive itself is what will help seal it. Hardly need any.
I really like that ferrule puller man, you got any specs on that one? Thanks. Still haven't gotten used to all the drama LOL but if we're all licensed and insured, who cares how you do your job? You bear the burden of that responsibility so it's hard for me to understand all the strong opinions, although I do enjoy learning about different methods.
If you need thread sealant then you have installed the valve incorrectly. The combination of compression between the nut, the farell, and the valve body make the seal.
Wherever there's water there's rust there's corrosion there's oxidation that's why you need to use the compound the thread compound. On all places where the water is
After over 20 years in plumbing heating and cooling and never surprises me where I find thread sealant and pipe tape where it doesn't belong. Is there any new construction I always braise or solder every connection and the use of nice high-end valves but most likely never need to be replaced. Although I do believe that the replacement was probably better than the original but I believe that both installations were flawed and should have both been done in a permanent manner.

Sealing threads where there will be no water at all ... or just lubing them so you can over-torque the fitting?
Just trying to get a tight seal bud 😂🙌
Loved watching this. Good job.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙌
Good job. But can you do something about the textured drywall?
Funny thing is that I have that problem RIGHT NOW & need 2fix it. Thanks 4the easy tip.👍🏽
Good for DIY very good demonstration even though we don't have tools the kind he has,we can fix this.
Ok so i am not a pluber or anything, but just wanted to ask, which is better, teflon tape or this kind of sealent liquid
You don't need thread sealant for compression fittings, the compression ring seals the connection
Great Work !!!
Thanks a lot! 🙌
Using all the right tools. Great job.
Thanks 👍
What tool did you take off that ring with?
Thank god you put pipe thread sealant on the compression fitting. So many people are using teflon tape when everyone knows you use sealant because that will keep water from leaking out if the compression fitting fails. EVEN THOUGH THEY NEVER FAIL AND EVEN IF THEY DID THE SEALANT WOULDN'T DO A FRIGGING THING!!
Thanks for watching 🙌
I did this often when I was younger. Not a professional plumber, but I learned. So I did it for myself and for friends. I watched my dad.
Nice 👍
MAN! I love this, need to try it one time.
Thanks for watching 🙌
Is that needed on a compression fitting?
Not needed but nice to have
¿En qué se atornilla la tuerca si el tubo de cobre no tiene rosca?.
Whats the tool you use at the beginning to thread onto the valve stop??
Angle on wrench 🙌
Lol, compound on the threads. 😂 Wee bit wiped onto the pipe where the olive will sit, and a bit on the olive itself is what will help seal it. Hardly need any.
What tool / tools are you using to remove the stop?
I really like that ferrule puller man, you got any specs on that one? Thanks. Still haven't gotten used to all the drama LOL but if we're all licensed and insured, who cares how you do your job? You bear the burden of that responsibility so it's hard for me to understand all the strong opinions, although I do enjoy learning about different methods.
If you need thread sealant then you have installed the valve incorrectly. The combination of compression between the nut, the farell, and the valve body make the seal.
I agree with you I like to have a nice wrench like that to.
I love like love your work quality
Thank you 🙌
I love the cool tool to hold the valve!
Me too! 🙌
Not a plumber so serious question why would you turn the valve off that you are about to remove from the wall??
Wherever there's water there's rust there's corrosion there's oxidation that's why you need to use the compound the thread compound. On all places where the water is
I like that fancy wrench. But do you need another fancy wrench to turn it the other direction?
Nope, same wrench 🙌
Fantastic skill and professionalism.
Thank you 🙌

What’s that wrench that was used? Seems multi size/use
Your work is Awesome!!! What is that tool called that you took that nut off with that’s close to the wall?
Thank you 🙏
I didn't see the brass washer between the nut and valve. I prefer sharkbite over compression fittings anyway.
It’s called a ferrule and it’s in there. If it wasn’t then you would be in big trouble. Also I would NEVER use a sharkbite as a permanent solution.
Where to buy the tools and what are the names of the tools? Please
Wow, this guy has all the tools and he works super fast. Never seen anybody work that fast.
😂🙌
After over 20 years in plumbing heating and cooling and never surprises me where I find thread sealant and pipe tape where it doesn't belong. Is there any new construction I always braise or solder every connection and the use of nice high-end valves but most likely never need to be replaced. Although I do believe that the replacement was probably better than the original but I believe that both installations were flawed and should have both been done in a permanent manner.
People really forget that pipe dope also lubricates 😂😂 clean work
I know for f**k sake 😂 thank you 🙌
