"Experience is something you dont have, until just after you needed it." Its a beautiful thing Jumper Man!
You always have great comments 😂 Thank you brother! It was definitely a beautiful thing 😂 Your support is much appreciated🙏🔧⚡️
Ex-plumber here! I saw this crawlspace, the leak and was on the edge of my seat. Been there done that. No going back now… ohhh, there was a tiny movement. You got this! 🎉❤
I do this same type of work in hospitals and other commercial and industrial sites. We’re not supposed to touch any valves. The problem is that a lot of these stationary site engineers don’t know their own buildings. Good work bro.
Also those valves really should be moved regularly to avoid them sticking. This very few people bother to do.
You can't touch the valves because the engineers don't know what they're for?
@@garrettmillard525 we’re not supposed to touch them because it’s their facility and they’re responsible for shutting down the loops and bringing them back up. Oh I could definitely do it but company policy is that the liability falls in them if they forget to open or close a valve
@@garrettmillard525 if it’s something like a ahu or a package unit I just need to ask if I can shut it down. I do work on a lot of critical facilities. Don’t want to close the wrong thing and kill an operating room or an icu wing.
Great video, brother !!!! 🎉 once you cut that pipe i was like shit no going back from there . Glad the hvac gods where on your side this day .
Thank you! I felt the same exact way at that moment. They definitely were. Very thankful that job was done. Stay tuned for new videos every week! 🔧⚡️
Yup, get'r done, time to earn that paycheck 😂 Been there.❤
That point of no return cut is always some scary shit! Great job!
The pressure was definitely on when I cut that. Even the night before knowing I was going back for another attempt to fix this was big pressure. Thank you brother! Stay tuned for new nightmares every week 😂🔧⚡️
That's a good name "the point of no return cut", you know after you make that first cut your day has the possibility of going bad to worse because you don't know what's in store next !
Yup that's the point where you litteraly 🙏 that there is nothing else going on. Did a very similar repair a few years back and the pipe literally fell off 😳 entirely 💀💀💀
JMT I admire how you get things done in such horrible tight spaces.....you the man! 🤙
Thank you very much! I try 🙏 Much appreciated brother. I always get stuck in tight situations. Stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️
Man! I may complain about my company's overzealous safety protocols but seeing you in that safety nightmare kinda makes me happy my company is a little over the top!. Great job ! I respect you for being willing to go through that hell
Jumper man, I subscribed to this channel because of this unit, it's turning into a real saga!
Thats awesome! That unit was a whole mess and a half. Welcome to the channel! Stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️
Bro us old guys did that crap back in the day and from all of us thank you for carrying the torch forward. When that nipple broke loose after the torch we all knew you had it. Congrats from us old farts that just cant do it anymore

Wow , this was the best soap opera ever ... Great work JMT ... Thx
Soap opera 😂 Yes, it was. Thank you Eddy! Thanks for watching & stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️
Anybody that has turned a wrench knows what it’s like to have limited leverage. The torch saves the day again. My mini pipe cutter has also saved me many times. Good job.
Facts. It's the worst with tight spaces but thats all you get here in NYC in many locations. The torch did save the day. I hear that! Thank you! Stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️
Trick I would use in a tight space would be to take a scrap elbow and thread it on top of the nipple and then thread a longer piece into that to use as a breaker bar
I agree with “ YOUR FUCKING AWESOME” I and all my guys watch you. Makes for GREAT lunch conversation.
Haha thank you!! That's awesome that I'm part of lunch conco with the guys 😂 Thanks for watching & stay tuned for new videos every week! 🔧⚡️
Good job! Brought back memories of my Chief Engineer days. Could have really used your skills back in the day. Your positive attitude and style is rare these days.
Brings back memories of when I used to be on breakdown maintenance team.Great piece of fitting work carried out by yourself
Mann i screamed like my fav team won the superbowl when the peace got unthreaded (and cursed a lil lol) JEEZ LOUISE GREAT JOB MAN !! hope u celebrated that night
Let's goooo!!! 😂 Thank you very much! I was exhausted when I came home so all I did was relax. Wanted the day off the next day & I ended up with a 6AM emergency with another huge water leak in the same building. That video drops this Saturday 🔧 Stay tuned & thanks for watching!
Try amalgamating tape. Wrap it tight enough and it will seal mains pressure leaks even
Have been waiting for this day to come. Nice work.
& I have been dreading for this day to come haha thank you!! Stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️
Great job bro...good to see that good workmen are still out
Very nice work as usual. Gotta love the tough ones. Your experience really paid off, patience as well.
Thank you brother! Much appreciated 🙏 Experience definitely played a role. Need to keep calm in hectic and pressured situations 💯 Thanks for watching & stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️
Great work Jumper man. I bet you are glad that nightmare is over.
Thank you! I am beyond glad 😂 Stay tuned for new videos every week! 🙏🔧⚡️
Wow, that was awesome, I enjoyed watching the great techniques you used to get it done.✌️
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed watching this video. Appreciate your support! 🙏🔧⚡️
Very talented, Sir.
Thank you very much! Stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️
great job JMT, congrats
Thank you very much! Stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️
Great job. I feel your pain. Maybe a longer nipple to start off with to get above the elbows. But your there and I'm stuck on top of a different FCU 😊
Fantastic repair man, you're a rockstar
Haha thank you very much! 🤙🎸 Stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️
Unfortunately when stuff is designed and installed any thoughts regarding maintenance are ignored
If they had used the proper nipples this would not have happened. He thought, "I'll be long gone when this blows".
Great f**king job jumper man tech. I’ve been waiting for this follow up on this call. This was a complete nightmare and turn into dream work entertainment. I could here this intense buildup in your voice before the point of no return when cutting that pipe open. The self belief you have is the passion that drive to go through this. I’ve been in these same situation. Celebrate not many people can do what you just did. Drink a nice cold one after this job. It the closest feeling of pure ecstasy when finishing this job……🎉
BRO, TONS OF PROPS to YOU!!!! I used to do nothing but temperature controls and I DONT MISS THOSE TIGHT SPACES!!! Nice job, good to see someone cares.
Nicely Done! Perserverance and a little bit of ingenuity went a long way to your success.👍
The key would have been to have a longer dialectic pipe then the other fittings otherwise way to stick with it, people who don’t do this kind of work don’t understand how difficult or of what character people like us have, good job!
ohhh man you have balls of steel! I was feeling all of your pain and nerves if this not gett it to work... But one more time... you have big balls for sure! I can not even imagine what will be scenario if you cant fix it.... But man you are legend!!!
Great job bro. More patience then me
Congratulations on the work. extremely laborious maintenance.
Thank you very much! Stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️
Great Job with that leak JMT that space and that leak looked nasty nice work with that cut! 👏 love this channel man!
Terrible access always is great job I hate water leaks
I always end up with terrible access 😂 Water leaks are a pain. Thanks for watching & stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️
Great work! I love to watch your videos. Thanks from the netherlands!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy the videos. Hello to the Netherlands✌️ Stay tuned for new videos every week! 🔧⚡️
Awsome job. Great video. To me the hardest part seems to be purgeing the system all those pipes throught the while building didden valves where would you even start. Thats what has always intimadated me with commercial. Is all the piping that seems to go everwhere. How to find the purge valves. It looks like it would take days to purge a big building.
Hey man,nice job getting nipple out,i used to do that back in the day I don’t miss working in conditions like that😮 super good job
What a cluster. Good job.
I've been watching this saga since you first got there. I'm glad you got it! Thank God that tee was good otherwise you'd be f**ked! I was feeling the pressure you were lmao 🤣
Did all the correct things from start to finish. The guys that stay in shape and think out of the box are the guys that are the most valued . Keep that in mind.
Great job as always JMT. Interesting and helpful video. 👏👏👏
Thank you very much! Stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️
Whatever the hell they’re paying you, it ain’t enough. There is no turning back once you cut you sure have some guts.
Who else was holding their breath til that nipple broke loose.
Hats off, brother. Its jobs like this is the reason we do what we do.
Pack your cape up until next time brother.
Fantastic skillset jmt
Thank you brother! Always appreciated 🙏 Stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️
You should lookup internal wrench tools, might help for situations like this
I thought the same thing.
Great Job Jumper, I knew you could do it
Glad you had that confidence in me 🙌 Thank you very much & stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️
Confined spot or what !!! 😢😢😢
Oh yes! It was not a fun job or space to work in. Stay tuned for new videos every week! 🔧⚡️

Like a champ!!💪🧰🥷
Let's gooo! 🙌 Thank you & thanks for watching! 🙏🔧⚡️
this was intense!!!!! holy #%^*. major major credit to you & your partner. this was truly incredible to watch
It really was! It was a tough one. Thank you & stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️
Good work Jmt-I usually go for the pb blaster and let it soak in for awhile,guess I should try the torch next time
you have some amazing luck on your side
Haha definitely a bit of luck on this one. Very much needed. Thanks for watching & stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️
i do residential hvac and watching what you just did here was insane.
Beautiful!!!! Turning back on the water to verify no leaks was as stressful as removing that nipple 😅😅
Thank you! Agreed 😂 Glad I got away with this one. Thanks for watching & stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️
You're a legend bro! Thank you for the video!
Always enjoy watching your videos. Great Job!
Glad to hear thay & thank you! Stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️
This is fixed after all the suffering!
Finally! Thanks for watching & stay tuned for new videos every week! 🔧⚡️
great work!
What a tight space. Nice repair man.
Man this whole video had me on the edge of my seat! Good stuff
Just stumbled on your channel... Nice work... And in a craftsman-like manner.. Your approach to this problem was spot on. I saw that Milwaukee does make 90° offset jaws for your crimping tool (not sure in that size), but your solution was excellent. The struggle is real in plumbing, right? 😀 Best!
Getting that nipple to break loose and start turning was a REAL butt clincher! Congratulations!
😂😂😂 Thank you!! Stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️
The guy who went to the trouble of making that drain to the sewer clearly loves his job, and I'm not joking.
Just knowing I have a job like that scheduled in the future keeps me up at night. When that nipple started turning I literally yelled “f*** yeah!” 😂
Good job!!!
Thank you very much! Stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️
Just creepy n horible space ...you have done well sir ... Salute ...
Great job brotha. I admire your work.
Thank you very much! Stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️
Internal pipe wrences are awesome for this scenario. Check your local welding supplier if the plumber doesn't carry them. They have impact versions as well that you could hook a right angle hole hawg too or breaker bar with extension.
I think the RUclips algorithm led me here after watching some drain cleaning videos. Despite all the literal crap and fatbergs they have to deal with, I think HVAC is the higher pressure (literally?) job. Great job getting a good outcome despite the conditions
Had a heat wave 2 days ago in western Australia and had to fix my air-conditioning split system. Was a bad cap on fan
Brother earned that paycheck on this job😂😂😂
This is the first video I ever watched on your channel.
Nice work, really a job well done.
You could've used a pro press union just incase there was a leak to tighten up the pipe but it looks good.
Great job brother 👏
Glad you got lucky and that nipple stayed in one piece.❤ When i fixed a similar job a few years back the pipe broke off entirely. 😮😳💀💀💀 Made an already tough job even more "fun"😂
Put the pipe wrench into the open end of the pipe, close the wrench jaw down and leverage away. Works every time!
Nice job JMT! Hope you and your tech are using masks cause that's a pretty bad place to be in and breathe all that dirty/mold
You need to invest in a multi angle pipe wrench. I had a couple and they saved me a bunch of times when working on boilers and chillers.
The horror the horror JMT is the man.
Haha it was a horror film for sure 😂 Thank you Scott! Much appreciated 🙏🔧⚡️
Glad to know I’m not the only one that pulls the pro press off the work and cycles it if I accidentally touch the button a little bit while positioning the tool! It’s probably nothing but you never know!
The original techs should have made that area more serviceable‼️Leaks happen, and service techs must have adequate room to make the necessary repairs❗️
Your skills are totally impressive👍👍
Good job Jumper.
Thank you very much John! It was a tough one 🔧
nice job bro, thanks for your share
Keep the nipple...as a reminder of how bad NYC plumbing is and how horrible the engineers used to be
Don't blame the engineers. This was on whoever installed the piping (plumbers?). Probably did not have a dielectric nipple and got away with using a standard (cheaper) nipple. This was probably not the only wrong one installed.
Nicely done.
Great job on the pipe work brother! 💪 I’m curious as to how long it took to bleed all of the air out of the system after the repair was made.
Nice work dude.
Congratulations on that bear!
You got it bro it's all about the nipple!
19:25 ck it.🤔
You’re the goattt ma mannn
I’m a union pipefitter in Texas doing hydronic mechanical systems for commercial buildings. Throwing in unions right after the valve has saved me many times in situations like this. After the branch is drained just bust the union loose and replace either the nipple or valve or both (assuming it’s not a solder leak) and connect it back together without having to touch the copper whatsoever
Either way it’s still cool to see this being filmed. My girlfriend doesn’t really have an idea of what it is I do for work so this gave her a great understanding!
Amazing work !
Thank you very much! Stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️
Great job man
I saw in one of the Charleston hotels HVAC also running water through. It might look like a good idea to supply cold/hot water through the coils on a massive scale. But after 20 years this system become a nightmare. Corroded pipes, not enough space to do any maintenance. Humidity in Charleston also doesn't help overall.
Lowell makes a pipe wrench head adapter that works with a 1/2 breaker bar or ratchet. Basically a crows foot for pipe wrenches.
Good to know
I’m a maintenance guy I was working a busted pipe behind a sink turn in month long project holy moly 😢
It fills good when a plan comes together
WHich pays more? Being a service tech on these chillers/cooling towers/ ahu? Or being the one installing them?
A larger version of a faucet wrench might possibly be helpful in such tight quarters.
