I like that you leave all your errors in there like it would happen in the real world. Most edit them out or make the situation look like it's as easy as making a pb and j sandwich. You really are a great teacher. Very informative video.
Thank you RJ. I think it is important for people to see the mishaps as well. It’s plumbing. It never goes perfect no matter how good you are. I did edit out the leg crap and the back spasm though! No one needs to hear that. Tight spaces suck’.
You did a really good job explaining how to make this kind of repair. You def deserve any affiliate benefits from this video. Great job and thanks!
Thanks for the tips Brian. Honestly plumbing is not anything that I would want to do full time. I have done lots on my house and some for family and friends so seeing this is always helpful and is good knowledge to have. Cold wet crawl spaces makes it even more difficult, you have shown us some of the nastiness that you deal with. And for that I have to say thumbs UP to you for doing what you do. 👍
Your welcome Richard. A crawl space is not my favorite place, but if I am able I’m always willing to help someone out. It’s one way I know how to let Christ’s light shine through me. Thank you for watching. I hope you have a great weekend.
You just saved me the expense of getting a plumber to replace a leaky hot water cpvc joint! I did the repair in about 30 minutes and it doesn’t leak!
Your instructions were very complete and understandable. I would have bought the wrong glue if I hadn’t watched your video.
Like you, I didn’t want to wait 6 hours to test the joint. What I did was turn off the water heater, and then took a “Hollywood” shower, using up all of the hot water!
Thanks again, and you’ve gained a subscriber.
Thank you for subbing. So glad that this was able to help you out.
nice videos very few ppl here show real work on site
This is what I'm doing tomorrow. Thank you for the video and products I should use!
“Now she’s comin pretty good “. Thanks for the help!
You're an amazing plumber man, keep posting videos pls us apprentices appreciate these informative videos 👍
I don’t know about amazing, but I try to do it right once. I never love being called back. So glad this is able to give you some good info.
Used more 90’s than necessary and made it more difficult at the end. You could have not glued the 90 on the pipe off of the beam and made a “U” with 2- 90’s and pipe which could have been glued on both remaining pipes at the same time by pressing on the ends rather than having to glue 3 joints at once. Worked okay but you made the job harder than it had to be. Other than that it was a good job.
Nice job but you could have used one less 90 and made the job easier by connecting diagonally between the two sections of pipe.
Whats up. Im moving to house with pvc pipes only ever had copper and pex. So i better search and learn up was cool it pulled you right up
Shark bite style has never failed me. I'e made over 25 repairs with them. A lot of people laugh when I say that and say they're unreliable, but I've had nothing but luck using them compared to other methods.
Was looking to see if could find anything useful on getting to a hard to get to busted water pipe
😂😂 when you drop the tape measure in the bucket of water “oh nice” 😂😂
LOL Yeah it happens! Its never as pretty as some videos make it.
Hey Brian thanks for sharing, that is so frustrating when you are trying to glue the joints together and water comes out and messes it up. I hate insulation under a house. I took mine out it was falling down in places and in the summertime where my floor registers were it would wick the moisture off my flex duct where they sweat from the humidity and draw it up next to the wood and it starting to cause mold. I have noticed no change in my electric bill. Take care and have a great weekend 👍
Thank you Britt! That is a weird things to happen. Glad you got that taken care of. If you took out just a little around your registers I don’t think you would notice that. Nobody wants mold! Thank you and hope you have a great weekend as well!
Awesome video brother especially this time of year with frozen busted pipes. Your channel is growing buddy
It is Steve! Thanks for all the support. This is our year to grow grow grow!
Thanks for the info!
I closed my eyes and it sounds like Joe Rogan is teaching me plumbing lol
Thanks for yr video it was helpful
Nice. Thanks
Great video, what I like about your videos is that you don't try to hide it if something doesn't go quiet right, keep them coming
I am not a fan of videos that make things look so easy. It is not the truth. The truth is messy sometimes. Even for a plumber that has been doing this 20+ years.
I knew you were going to screw up that last bit. I'm just impressed I didn't hear any swearing.
Cure time on cpvc is about 15-20 min max, then let er rip! Never have any leaks
Will that tool work on brittle cpvc? Reason I ask is bc my cpvc is old
Hey Brian the problem is also they used purple primer which is wrong they should have used like you flowguard yellow for covc giue or the traditional orange cpvc for cpvc
wow fancy water meter mine looks like Archimedes made it. so why didn't you just run the pipe diagonally from top elbow down to the bottom one rather than square vertical and horizontal so you could use one less elbow and get slightly better flow
😂. I like the old analog style meters I can actually see the dial moving and I like that. Your right that would have worked really well. This is why I always like other people to walk jobs. There is always more than one way to skin a cat.
Those ratcheting pipe cutters are very similar to ratcheting pruners, and probably could be used as a substitute in a bind.
Have you cut pipe with fishing line?
I was going to mention pruning with them in my video I just spaced it. They work great for it.
Thanks for the video. Wouldn't PEX be a better solution? No worries about water messing up glue joints, less couplings, can be used immediately. Also more reliable than cpvc.
Not criticizing, just curious, as I believe you've used PEX before.
It would have been but for just a small repair I did not want to make that transition. You have to transition to pex and I could have with a sharkbite, it would be the quick way without gluing. Any other way and you have to glue.
@@ThatFixItGuy thanks.
Yes, you are correct. That cpvc with age can get brittle and makes it hard to cut with ratcheting cutters. Can become a headache to fix. When those cutter put pressure on that cpvc pipe it can sometime crack that cpvc pipe in the area of the repair creating a hairline crack. Then you have another problem and leak. Not fun! May have to use another way to cut the cpvc pipe.
Great video Brian! Thanks so much for what you do buddy! Helping so many people! Josh #stoneyridgefarmer
Thank you bro! I’m love the journey you got me on!
I’m gonna try to repair 2 pvc pipes in my basement in a few days, let’s see how this goes 😅
How did it go?
Brian, when there's water on the floor in the crawl space, that becomes a cruel space. I've done demo on heat pipes under businesses, and the tigher it gets, the more cruel it becomes.
Lol! I like cruel space! I have never enjoyed the crawl space. So happy I barely get in them these days. Now if I could stay out of tunnels and pits at work!
I don’t understand the thing about draining the hot water tank. Can’t the homeowner just make the repair in the afternoon, then not turn on any hot water until the next day? I mean you’re not going to have any hot water flowing thru your pipes unless you actually turn on hot water at the sink or shower, right? Thanks for your help!
this is why i never use plastic pipes or anything new I'll let others test them out for reliability. I like the old copper pipes they are tried for 70 years in my house. I've heard that the cpvc can crack if it is old just from being brittle when using those shear cutters how old is that piping?
All that is true. Copper is king for sure. More time and more money these days but so worth it. Cpvc is not a great product and yes this style of cutter can crack brittle pipe I always give a little twist when cutting to avoid fully pressing on the pipe and potentially cracking it. Cutting with a saw is a great option. Dull ratchet cutters can cause an issue as well. My cutter is brand new. The pipe is around 20 years out but surprisingly did not seem to be brittle in any way like some of the other experiences I’ve had with cpvc. Thanks Greg.
You are correct. It can be a pain.
Was that a car at 3:55?
Are those ratcheting cutters okay to use on old CPVC? I have a leak in the wall, and am looking for something to cut the old, brittle pipe that won’t make it crack or splinter. Do the ratchets put pressure on the pipe? What would you recommend? Thanks!
It might work but a hacksaw is what is recommended for old cpvc.
The ratchet cutters do not work on old cpvc. I just tried it, and it shatters/breaks. I just learned that I hate cpvc
How much would you charge somebody for labor?
Good question. These days prices are crazy. I don’t have a business anymore. My friend tells me 200.00 an hour is the cheapest plumber he’s heard of.
PEX PEX PEX forget that PVC It is obsolete, PEX to the rescue , easy to install low cost , best water piping available , much better than anything else. This problem would not have happened with PEX
Started watching this video purely for entertainment. Got pulled off in the middle of the video to deal with something else and while doing that discovered a plumbing leak. I'm not amused... ok, I'm a little amused.
Oh man that is pretty wild. Hope it was not too bad.
why pipe is so tiny 😮😮😮
K
Who uses PVC pipes for their water supply should lose their license...
So almost every plumber in the state of Florida lol.
To much material
