Easy listening, your videos have a soothing pace and good explanations. One thing you could’ve comment on is the extra cap on the outside spigot. Not all of them have them.
Great video! I haven't started using Pex for my projects around the house, but I think I will now. Being able to run your line without worrying about joints is a massive bonus.
Thank you! I'm glad you found the video helpful. PEX is indeed a game-changer for DIY projects. Its flexibility and the ability to run long lines without worrying about joints make it a fantastic choice. If you decide to give it a try, I highly recommend it. I've included a link to the PEX crimper kit I use in the video description to help you get started easily. Happy plumbing! 😊🔧
Very well done and explained. You made it look so easy to do. I appreciate you provided a list of materials and tools. Terrific approach. Appreciate the service loop. I love the tip on what to do if you don't have a shark remover tool. I never knew about high pressure spigets. Awesome job!
Thanks a bunch! It's like magic, right? Turning a complex task into something doable. And the shark remover tip? Genius! Happy plumbing adventures! 😄🚿
Yeah, that service loop was a neat trick. Couldn't do that with a copper line.
@zeropoint546 That service loop in any non heated area in the north will freeze. It also will prevent that pipe run from draining, done to prevent pipes from freezing and busting in the north. I don't know if a loop of water filled pex that freezes will burst. Or will it expand? I also know the pex fitting removal tool or homemade piece of cut pex used, will not release a damaged from freezing, pex quick connection fitting. Which can be extremely hard to remove in a tight space, when it's failed from freezing. Where ever possible, it's best to put lines, in angled towards down, so you can empty that line up north, in your planning, once empty there's no freezing problem of bursting. I had to use a grinder to cut open a quick connection fitting or cut the line out to repair damage. Not fun.
Love the service loop idea 🙌
Service loops really come in clutch! They make future maintenance so much easier. Thanks for appreciating the tip! Stay tuned for more useful tricks. 😊🔧🚿
I'm old, which means I just know about old school copper water lines. Is there a risk of that PEX stuff freezing out in the garage?
Don't worry; you're not alone in the copper era! PEX is pretty durable, but in extreme cold, it's always wise to insulate pipes. Better safe than sorry! 😊🚿
I'm finally getting around to installing my sink, urinal, toilet and water heater in my shop thats 300ft from my house. Two years ago we replaced our entire septic system and I had them a run waste pipe and water line to my shop. I just realized it would be smart to add a faucet to the front of my building while I'm doing all this plumbing which brought me here. Do you recommend a 1/2 inch or 3/4 line for the faucet?
1/2 inch is fine, because the faucet probably has flow restrictions.
Great video!
You're very welcome! I'm delighted you found the demonstration helpful. Happy plumbing, and thanks for watching! 😊🔧
Issa mee mario!
Hahaha! Let's-a go! 🎮
I need to hire you for a re-plumbing project!
I'm flattered by your trust! If you ever need plumbing advice, feel free to reach out. Thanks for considering my work! 😊🔧🚿
Why move it? Just add another.
Absolutely, adding a tee is an option, but in my case, I won't need the old one. We're planning to plant some bushes there. Thanks for the suggestion! 😊🌿🚿
