I appreciate the fact that you show and explain and don’t get carried away with nonsense commentary
Thank you so much. I try my best.
Wish I knew how to get that second side copper pipe to magically grow longer to push it into the valve.
Yeah there is a 45degree angle at the end of my pipe which gave me some play to move it.
I bought shark bite because it’s solder-free but there’s no play so it looks like I have to solder on a coupling long anyways smh
It kill the main objective of the sharkbite installation.
Actually all you need is a shark bite coupler and a small piece of copper no soldering needed
Exactly.
Woah!! How does the copper pipe on the right suddenly have the ability to move longer or shorter to match up to your Sharkbite valve fitting? When you cut the original copper line and removed the old valve, I said there's no way the new Sharkbite will work because the second connection (the right side pipe, in this case) will be too short and won't reach to insert into the Sharkbite. The pipe on the right should have been immovable and rigidly in place.
The pipe on the right had a right angle turn, so it gave it a little play.
They needed 2 shark bites and a few inches of pipe
Sometimes if pipe is in a hanger the hangar can be loosened a little to allowed some VERY LIMITED give. Be sure to retighten hangar if possible.
Damn, you're 1000% correct! I was asking the same questions. LOL
@@sandburgmartin7947 Understood but per this video, he had alot of play and I think this was just a commercial advertisement of shark bite. See how much pipes, including the shut vale he cut off, there's no way he had enough play on the pipe to reconnect it together.
This is an excellent DIY video! My shut-off valve to the outside house bib is completely stuck due to mineral build-up (and being 26 years old perhaps). The original ball valve is on copper pipe that is soldered. I had a plumber come out to do an estimate and he (being the honest neighbor that he is) suggested I could easily do this myself with a Sharkbite ball valve - and he was right! This video gave me both the step-by-step instructions, and just as importantly, the confidence to do this job.
FYI - to get the extra "play" in the pipe to make up for the few inches of copper pipe I had to cut out with the old fitting, I simply saw that further down the copper pipe heading to the outside hose bib it was held up against a joist by a u-shaped hanger. I simply removed the nailed in hanger, allow the copper pipe to flex towards the new ball valve and reinstalled the u-shaped hanger where it made sense. The copper pipe is soft enough to have that kind of "play" it it if the pipe run is of any length.
Awesome. Glad it worked out for you. Thanks for sharing the other idea to get extra play in the pipe. This helps out our viewers.
Highly suggest the SharkBite deburring tool before making the connection. It also gives you the correct depth that you can mark so you know when you bottom out.
Hi Jonah, Thanks for answering my question about the incoming water on the Sharkbite ball valve!
Robert
Glad I could help Robert.
The only way to go 👍👍👍
Yes you're right. Thanks for watching.
This was great. Thank you
Awesome! So glad my video helped.
Thank you so much! Worked like a charm!!!
Clean and straight and not sharp. The end inside presses up against a rubber ring. Best for use at the end of the line, never behind a wall or in the mainline.
It's a very helpful ☺ thanks sharing.
You're welcome. Thanks for the visit.
Thanks a lot. I just had to push the Shark Bite Ball Stop Valve a little further onto the 3/4 cold water copper pipe , then it stopped leaking. Thank you.
Thank you 🙏
So helpful
Glad it was helpful! thanks for the visit.
Nice job Mate, thank you very much for the vid
Glad my video helped Tim. Thanks for the visit.
Very helpful!
Thanks Korey.
Thanks 👍
Thank you, I have this tomorrow to do
No problem. Best of luck!
Nice video. Of course, my pipe is not movable. I'll have to get some more pipe and a connector.
I hope it all works out for you. Thanks for watching.
Where can I buy that accordion-type copper pipe to easily connect the right end?
You can try your local hardware store or Amazon.
You removed about 4 inches of length and replaced it with a valve that is only 2 inches long. How did you make up the distance? That is the issue I am having. I cant seem to find a video addressing that issue.
I thought my measurement was pretty close, but about 6 feet to the right there's a 90 degree turn which gave me a little play.
Great job don't forget to shut the water off outside blow it out and put a cover over it
Great idea.
Something isn't right here? You cut off excess cooper pipes on both end of the shut valve and still have enough cooper pipes to reconnect the new ball valve? If you cut off that much pipes then the pipe should be short. LOL
The dreaded gate valve!!!!!!!
Thank god. Finally found a channel not bashing shark bite. (Which does reveal how smart your “plumber” is). These are too simple to blame the product. Good luck selling your high end filtration system if you don’t like push fittings. But go ahead and blame the product with instructions in pictures on every package. Selling by the millions daily. Yeah. Blame that product.
Thank you. I had to admit I was nervous about using it at first but finally believed how great the product is when I started using it on many of my projects.
The plumber (salesman) hates sharkbites!!!!!!!!!
Yes you're right.
You're #1
Thank you Francis.
The pipe was cut much shorter than the repair. Did it magically grow?
There's a little play 6 ft from the right since there's a 90 degree turn.
Thanks boss
No problem
You cut the pipe so the pipe is shorter, how would you still be able to connect to the Sharkbite value? May be the pipe is flexible so that you can pull them together in your case but mostly are not.
Why did the pipe on the right turn when the valve was rotated? Black mark on the pipe moved up and down when rotated valve
I've seen where plumbers will remove that white plastic 'stiffener' inside the Sharkbite adapter before inserting the copper pipe.
I wouldn't do it.
That white pastic stiffener is for pex tubing. You can take it out or leave it in for copper install. Just be sure if you are working with copper that you buy the Sharkbite fitting rated for copper.
Still an interesting video, but to make Sharkbite fittings work you have to have a lot of play or give on at least one side of the plumbing line. I need Sharkbite shutoff valves in 4 places in my my crawlspace, but I have zero give or play in the CPVC lines. There would be no way to install the valves short of hiring a professional plumber.
If you have a 90 angle a distant ft away, that still gives you a little play.
How can I tell which end of the ball valve is connected to the incoming water source? Thanks!
Good question Robert. In this case, it does not matter which end. Which ever is most convenient to you.
He must have used a short length of new copper and put a sharkbite coupling on the other end, should have shown that.
Your vido is very help full and good line for plumb ing work. I appreciated to you
Please give me afaver wher is abaile toos shark bite fitting
It's available at any hardware store like Home Depot, Lowes, HomeHardware.
They make slip valves, tee's and other fittings for when the pipe cannot be pulled back to insert a fitting.
Awesome. Thanks for info. Now our viewers know.
I can't believe this "expert" didn't know this
@@franciskowalski7367 I'm no expert. I'm just a RUclips Guy. LOL
Where did you find the play in the second pipe?
About 6 feet to the right is a 90degree angle on the pipe. This gave me a small play.
He cheated. didnt use the original cuts opening more like using
But the opening of the 2 cuts was larger....why did not you make a presentation on a rigid set up....the original pipes cuts!
No they are the same openings.
how come you did not take white plasique tube in sharkbite fitting when you use copper pipe
That white plastic tube stays in. Do not remove it.
@@jonahvlogsdiy4143 it not spose to stay in for copper juste pex
when you use copper pipe you take out the plastque tube
According to Sharkbite web site, it is NOT necessary to remove the white PEX insert. As such, I would leave it. I've installed over 25 Sharkbite fittings without removing the PEX insert and never had a leak. Fittings have been in place for over 2 years.
how you cut 6 inches out and still able to connect?
Yeah 8 ft away, there is an elbow. It gave a a little play.
Main water shut off line has to be shut off ?
Yes for sure or if there's is a secondary shut off valve.
Hi Jonah. On yours video everything goes nice and easy. My situation is worse, I have no chance to move the pipes. Everything is connected very tightly and the pipes are stiff. The old valve was installed in very complicated way. If I cut out all this weirdness, it will turn out that pipes are not in one line. Do you have same idea how to do a proper installation. I will be glad to hear a professional advice-Mike
Yes Mike there's another type of Shark Bite that you push in all the way through the left side pipe, then line up the two ends & push back through the right side. Thens centre the SharkBite. You can buy it at Home Depot also. I will try to do a video on it soon.
@@jonahvlogsdiy4143 Hi Jonah. Thank you very much for your reply. I'm retired, with no money. Your technical support will make it possible for me to do this without a very expensive plumber's visit. Can I send you a picture showing this tight cluster of pipes, please. I am sure an experienced plumber like you can give me some good advice. Please, say YES. We have had this problem for over 10 weeks. A small amount of water flows out of the tap at a time. It takes almost three hours to collect a 1 gallon of water. Please, help us--Miroslaw
Very poor video. It doesn't address how to make the connection to the rigid pipe on the right. Will it be a solder connection? If so, how far away to prevent the heat of soldering from melting the plastic inside the shark bite?
Song name?
Does the SharkBite bite
LOL. Thank goodness it doesn't
Deburring! deburring! deburring!!!
Not on Pex, I don't believe.
if you cannot show the video then stop wasting people's time.
