Pretty Cool! I was at Lowe's one day and they had a 3/4" PEX Crimp Kit on clearance for $3. I couldn't believe the price so I took it to the cashier to ask if it were correct and bought it when she said it was. I figured it might come in handy some day. I'm not a plumber so I have not used it yet, but it was interesting to see how it worked. Thanks
Nice installation Steven. Soldering pipe in the future will be a "thing of the past" in another 10-15 years. It almost already is with lead and okum for cast iron drain pipe.
Steve - have you ever used Wirsbo? Plastic Pex line that you flare out with a flare tool then it shrinks around the fitting. No crimp rings. One less thing to rot out.
I had a wild bunny like that in my yard for years. Named her "Mrs. Tweed" because she looked like she was wearing a tweed coat. I gave her carrots and lettuce but she wasn't interested. She just liked to nibble the grass.
good video, my only critique would be to speak up a little more so we can hear you, and to explain in more detail what you're doing and what you're using. I had a hard time hearing. but over all very well done.
Very nice Steve. I haven't seen you mess with any Pex yet. I notice you do A/C & plumbing soldering with the same torch & gas. What do you use? Sure looks easier than lugging around 2 tanks of oxygen & acetylene. I want one! Thank you man!
a little more detail in explaining would be good and cut out the 2 mins of drilling would help too, but I just fast forwarded it. I was waiting to hear about how the clamps work and I'm assuming you need a special tool~ I did learn a little something, thanks!
Seeing the whole job from start to finish is a very valuable thing. Channels like this old house glaze over a lot of stuff that are important steps. This guy is a full time plumber that edits and posts videos everyday when he gets home. Its a lot of work.
this is a great video I'll say that but I do have to say stay away from that cheap crimp stuff yes it's pex but get Worsbo Pex A pipe but love your videos Steve I like to watch them to pass time and learn code for other states
Shark bites are rated for inwall use, I'd use a shark bite fitting in wall way before I'd trust a sinch clamp, lots of failures with those style. Shark bites are also rated direct bury if wrapped.

+Stuckneutral usally 1/2 is all you need but 3/4 will come in handy also for larger piping mains good luck with it fiend
+steven lavimoniere Thanks, that's probably why it was on clearance. I guess now I must buy the 1/2" to make a useable set. LOL
mine does 1/2 3/4 and 1" pex

Brad1237202 i use pex if the job warents it
Came out good. As for that other faucet with the pipe buried in the beam, I'll stand behind the "If it ain't broke dont fix it" motto along with you.
Dwight Bennett the one drilled into the beam ,i would not touch it .. sad workmanship to something like that
Nice job as usual Steve. I figured that was going to be an old house when your bit kept going and going. I like bunnies...
Nicholas CeeA ya i got a few more bunny ,coming up for endings
Nice work Steve! Wish we got those taps here, would save draining down the outside tap in winter.
heavydiesel ya but you have to remove the hose or these in the cold weather ,,,or they will freeze up and split big time .
Nice job! Good call on not repairing the existing one.
mandylee6300 i wanted nothing to do with the one drilled into the beam

Great Video Steven
awww that bunny was cute at the end
dklucas1 i am doing some more bunnies
A longer faucet was in order and it should be taken apart before soldering.
Great work Steve.
leanorlando thanks willie

***** no i use acetilene turbo torch for a.c ,,,,,and l.p. turbo torch for water pipe there different
steven lavimoniere oh I didn't know that. Another nugget for my sponge. Everydays a school day. Thank you Steve!
thank you for sharing but why you didn't seal around faucet and screws?
Nice video Steve.
Like your tool box, I had the same one in my younger day whenI did HVAC work
Great video Steve, Thanks for posting
efman2k3 thanks for watching
In your older video you used crimping rings for pex and in this video you using cinch clamps. Are cinch clamps better than crimp rings?
Thanks.
Alex Moisseev i only use this same type of crimp pex ring
Great job Steve, one of the few times I've seen you use pex pipe.
teh60 i use pex when it makes sense
Nice work Steve
Harry Dickson thanks harry
Are they the stainless shark bite crimp rings for pex pipe fittings?
Man that was one thick wall !
Ragano michael looks like a 6x6 for a sill plate
Your awesome the best
Timber frame old house, fun fun...sometime s you gotta improvise👍
very nice job steve thank you for sharing!!!!!!
Hey Steve, nice video as always. What size bit did you use and what was the length of it? thanks
good job Steve, you got to watch those old beams. thank for the tapes. mama!!!!!!!! you all.
Love your videos next level next level
Good job
We can only use CPVC in my area. They tried flex pipe years ago and only lasted a few years and had to be replaced
USMC 1961 cpvc is not good for hot water it will get brittle and break in time
Pex will outlast cpvc by about a century. It can even freeze without bursting. That rule in your area is very misinformed.
a little more detail in explaining would be good and cut out the 2 mins of drilling would help too, but I just fast forwarded it. I was waiting to hear about how the clamps work and I'm assuming you need a special tool~ I did learn a little something, thanks!

Alex Moisseev thanks for watching
I guess I'm looking for a video on PEX with push joints. You're soldering here.
This is when propress comes in handy.
Good video...thanks!
Patrick Harris thanks for watching pat
How much would that cost to do if you hire someone
Would it matter which 1/2" branch line you tap into?
great video! you still need a propress sometimes!
Ben Staton i won't be buying the propress any time soon
Nice job.
codymon100 thanks man
this is a great video I'll say that but I do have to say stay away from that cheap crimp stuff yes it's pex but get Worsbo Pex A pipe but love your videos Steve I like to watch them to pass time and learn code for other states
nice rabbit, niglio.
If the job warrants it I would use pex and shark bite if open never in closed wall.
Shark bites are rated for inwall use, I'd use a shark bite fitting in wall way before I'd trust a sinch clamp, lots of failures with those style. Shark bites are also rated direct bury if wrapped.
is that blue substance just pipe dope?
Why not just PEX faucet?
whittle4u i use a frost free sill cock faucet like any plumber would
I live in DuPage County Illinois. I don't think code would permit use of that tubing.
Pex is the building standard across the country these days,
@Meplayjoke And?
nice. :)
***** thanks man
steven lavimoniere ur welcome. :)
Big old beam.

I can't stand watching those pex connectors being crimped. They seem like a leak waiting to happen.
