Shut downs on apartment buildings are the worst. I always use lockout tag out but even that still bugs me out from time to time that someone will take it off and turn the water on while I’m actually on a job I hate that feeling.😔
Yeah don’t be surprised when you come to Florida and you do something like that. You get beat more your gonna get some really bad shit happen to you. Lock out tag out is very serious when you’ve been hit with 220v the ass whooping “they” put on you is about to get put on them.
Lock out tag out means lock out tag out put a lock on the valve and a tag saying how many people have to approve the lock being taken off you can even install multiple valves to put a lock from every contractor so this doesn’t happen
And that's why projects involving multiple teams should always have lockout/tagout in place, cause when they don't it's more likely to get someone hurt/killed.

You should some of the craziness they have in downtown Atlanta, I worked on a bhulding that was only about 50 years old and it looked like 5 different blind plumbers and jacklegs had added stuff. We just touch on plumbing to get water to for our food svc equipment and icemakers and it baffled me how bad it looked. Luckily, I just told the plumbing crew what I needed where and they hooked us up
One time I was replacing some 3/4" pipe in a bathroom of an apartment high up when the upstair's neighbor's leg came through the ceiling. And I look up and see this guy's leg kicking above me and him yelling. The floor was so rotted the man nearly fell through the floor. That was a very old building and should have been torn down. The pipes they had were from the turn of the century and the whole interior was nothing but rust crumbling to dust that had breached to the outside in places. The whole building's plumbing was nothing but a giant sieve that damaged its structural integrity to the point of being condemned.
People do not take into consideration the stress a plumber takes in such situation and few days after especially when the phone rings because nobody calls to congratulate you for a good job
this right here .....u could do 3 million great jobs all nerve racking shit and do them great but as soon as something goes wrong that one time!!! lol forget about it
@@roybangathat’s true for all industries that’s why as a tradesman I ALWAYS acknowledge every person providing me a service.

I was doing a shower valve cut in once 30th floor of a building just finished prepping everything about to start soldering and I heard the air whistling That is a sound I will never get used to. Through my phone out of the bathroom made my apprentice run down to security I closed the shower curtain and I just grabbed the pipes and held it together. Building boiler is set 125 I had some nasty burns by the time they got it shut down and drained but there was no damage done to the unit below.
NYC plumbers are a different breed. They have to contend with pipes that can be a century old or more. We don't give Mario enough credit. His day job is definitely harder than rescuing princesses.
I work in a hospital and they decided to fix a toilet without shutting off the water cause our maintenance crew is absolutely horrible. Flooded the ground floor and it was a nightmare. No patients could enter or leave for hours. I didn’t get to see how bad it was, but I saw the repercussions. Some of my patients had to go on observation from missing dialysis that day granted they were already very on and off again with refusing with chronic renal failure.
Dude I believe it, that shit is so stressful. I've had a few leaks in my day and that feeling is the worst, I can't imagine a total nightmare like you described, you can actually destroy a building!
People don't understand how much water we wield. I've done some water main flushes on 12" pipe, (which isn't as big as it gets by any means) it is a lot of water.
This is why lockouts exist. My family is sprinkler fitters and pipe fitters. When they turn off gas or water there is an adapter (easy to cut if needed) to use 8 padlocks instead of 1. All workers take their lock when their done. If someone forgets their lock, it can easily be cut off after confirming that all workers are gone and the work is completed. If the valve doesn't have a slot for a pad lock, wrap a chain or steel cable as tight as possible. Even a plastic zip tie can work. The purpose isn't to stop the valve from turning ever, its just to confirm multiple workers gave clearance to turn something back on. If this happened with a gas line you would be counting lives lost instead of money lost.
Once we had a guy plumb in shower body and everything else and when it came time to hook up the tub drain it was quitting time. He just bounced didn’t say shit didn’t leave a sign. The painters came in and used the tub to clean all their brushed and buckets. When they were done they came downstairs to people running out side yelling. With so so so much water lol. So glad I wasn’t there. I hate water related shit.

@@TheMinecraftACMan It doesn't matter, it is designed to let people know it is not safe to operate, doesn't matter if they used the best lock out there, I have multiple tools on me that could remove anything. The tumbler in the lock is actually high quality because they don't want someone elses key opening the lock, the body and shackle are cheap plastic to make them light.

Lockout Tagout is no joke.
That's a good question. Wondering the same thing. My company would tell them not responsible for any of that beforehand. I'm sure he does the same thing.
My mom was an electrician in the navy, people ignoring tag outs and killing electricians became such an issue they made it a court martial. It still happens..
Reminds me of the navy guy who ended up on the Darwin Awards for electrocuting himself with a 9v multimeter. (They named the story "Resistance is futile"). It also resulted in the navy teaching the electricity safety course to all its navy electricians twice a year.
I worked with a few Albanian companies them boys don't play when it comes to plumbing, I personally prefer new construction high rises its cleaner compared to some of the sht u gotta deal with and those wire mesh concrete slabs in the walls will forever be my opps, salute my guy ✌✊💪🗽
you need to get holdoff tags, basically its a tag that you put on the main valve, you write what you are doing, and why you need it off, then your phone number is on it. that way you don't accidently turn a valve on. multiple contractors, multiple tags.
I Recommend To Install The Ball Valves The Opposite Side Leave The Break Joint Of The Valve On The Outlet, This Is A Safe Incase The Seal Start To Leak And Be Able To Loosening It And Seal While Pressure In The Building, Also Is Better zin Case Accident And Or Frozen On Other Application. i Use This Methods In All Valves Included Gas Valves, There Was A Mayor Gas Leak In NYC Restaurant Caused By The A Grease Power Wash On Wheels At the Fryer They Moved Causing The Gas Leak And Broke Off From The Joint They couldn’t Turn Off Gas Main No Access, Fire Department Came Shut the Whole Building from The Street
That story highlights the importance of a good lock out/tag out system. In this case the way to go about it is that a single community lock goes onto the water main to prevent it from tirning on. Then the key goes in a gang lock box. Then each plumber puts their own personal tagged locks on the box and keeps their own key to their own lock. Main lock can't be opened until all plumbers remove their own locks to open the box and retrieve the main key.
Can’t imagine all the effort that goes into shutting down those huge buildings in New York! I work on houses and small apartments and that’s about it. Most are only 2-3 stories max
This is a question, can a main shut off valve could be tagged like electrical lock out/tag out with multiple trades tied into it? Like the general contractor who responsible for the tag out contact every single trade to make sure that they’re finished with their work before turning the water back on? Like have a list of contractors who requested the water shut down, and then contact each supervisor to make sure they’re complete before turning it on. Because that’s what I would do, even if one contractor is done they have to wait for the other contractor to finish before water turns back on
Broski.....that's is the nickname I gave my son 20 years ago anyway love your videos and the way you explain everything you would be a great teacher. Keep up the great work
how is it you are able to get the pipes out with just channelocks ? i have a building from 1943 and i always got to use a big pipe wrench and even a pipe on that for more leverage.
Big fan of your content. I have underestimated the complexity of plumbing. I guess the work itself isn't super technical, it's managing all the edge cases of things going horribly wrong which you would least expect.
Is there an emergency tool or part you could carry with you that would allow you to "shut" the pipe? like a sharkbite fitting or something that could be quickly jammed onto the cut pipe?
brosky, why you use brass fittings ? they crack so ezy, one extra turn and could crack and dat crack could be so small, you won't see it, wont leak at dat time, but could later.. is dat for cold water or hot ? use galvanized,yea will rust over time but won't crack-y, brass much cheaper brosky i got it..
Yo quick question. I heard of you use a Vega ProPress fitting close to a solder joint. You're good. I heard if you use any other brand next to a solder joint you'll break the joint. That don't make sense to me. What have you heard about that?
I like this guy the sheer incompetence of all people involved if you’re doing a shut down and you have eight plumbers seven of them come back do you say we’re done go ahead and turn the water back on oh snap we forgot about the last guy. oh well $5 million later what do you care of the insurance companies money?
They might have flooded the place on purpose. That insurance money is good money. If you shop out the repairs right you can pocket all the left over money.
Maybe install a shut off valve as soon as you cut the pipe, you can take your time if someone turns it on when you’re not finished just close the valve
Why all your projects have only metal plumbing. Copper, Brass and Iron. Is it because the plastic pipes are banned in NYC or just because how old are the buildings you are dealing with?
Please tell us more about all the brass threaded pipe, please! Not commonly used in other parts of the country, at least not in the large amounts evident in this video. Please tell
What kind of pipe is that looks like threaded copper but I’ve never seen that. I don’t know a lot about plumbing because I’m an electrician but always trying to learn more

you can always freeze the pipe, the machine is expensive but if you do that stuff its gonna make you money, running water or heating water.
the brand Rems is one of the best in Europe
Are you looking for any plumbers ? I’m fully qualified and self employed I love this kind of graft
Why not install separate shut offs on every unit
Because the engineer wants to save money. Day one of business
Thats what they are doing with every renovation now
Why all threaded brass? If the nipple is that close to breaking off in the tee, shouldnt it be replaced as well. Brosky?
I've fucked up plenty of electrical work, but you're not living until you've blown 40 degree water in your face 😂
😂
What kind of wheel you use to cut that pipe?
For metal. Dewalt type 1
@@hydronyc thanks sir
Bro I like you, content is just pure, keep up keeping on if you come to Canada we should link up.
Do plumbers not do a lock out tag out type system? It would of prevented this. I'm genuinely curious
Sewage lines are even worse.
You cut that pipe open and someone in the building flushes... well... you know 💩
During shut down there's no lock out, tag out thing?
I love your videos man. You don’t edit out the little bitty gritty bits. Really shows that skills like this are all attention to detail. Keep killing it brudda and don’t let the local hardnoses fuck up your day x
He does all this and finds parking for the van in nyc

Ayy lock-out tag out bro.
Do you guys not do that for stuff like this?
Great job broskie!
