Great video. Just made me realize to not try this at home 🤣 mine is under house, 2’ crawl space, up against the first floor support joists, and it’s been leaking for a while and very wet in crawl space 😳
Thx for the video, trying to remove an existing stuck pressure reducing valve that is Watts N35B. It is connected with copper main line via union(no issue with removal), copper male adapter into PRV(stuck) and then copper is connected with CPVC with some glue. What would be an easiest way to remove stuck PRV or should I just cut it and then use a sharkbite or a coupler?
And what would be the permanent water pressure gauge of choice - a dry one or a glycerin (or silicone oil?!) filled one? Would the lifetime/accuracy of the gauge be prolonged if sat off of a ball valve, so that it was not continuously exposed to water flow?
I'm curious - if a $20ish water pressure gauge could be installed downstream of the PRV permanently, why would you not do that? Wouldn't such a permanently-placed gauge help identify a PRV that begins to go bad, or help troubleshoot any water hammer issues?
Great video. Good info with out all the extra chatting and distractions. Thank you!

yep!❤
So many plumbers do not know the hottest point of the torch flame.
its in the closet behind the box of cheerios😂
if it’s 3/4 why do you need a 1” prv… your going back to 3/4 anyways…

Pretty dopey..You are offered 3/4 inch service so anything down stream your PRV want matter worth a shit?
He explained why... you need to learn to listen. 05:30
a pressure valve can compensate for the diameter diference
