7/8 not 3/4
Propress is great for this application until the next person has to replace those valves and what’s left of the stubout pipe isn’t going to be too good for them…sorry customer, I’m going to have to open up the wall…
Not all the pipe can move left and right, you pick the very easy one to show, No Good!
I just did this recently and I'd recommend you go with the new Sharkbite Max ball valves. It's worth spending a little more to have a stronger and longer lasting connection. I didn't have any issues with slack on my installation because I was replacing copper with pex, but as others gave noted; an extra Sharkbite connector and pex extension might be needed to get the slack needed to fit the valve between your pipe.
Which one is better? This one or the shark bite one?
The problem is : Now, the coupling CAN NOT go though the pipe anymore. It have a mark at half of the coupling then the pipe stop there. You don't have enough of room to do like you
Yea! I subscribed. Thank you!
Please give tutorial on same sharkbite shut off valve to install on a wet line. Minimal flowing water. I live in a condo surrounded by units. The pipe will be turned off, water pressure is off, and water flow is still draining.
I literally just did this. I had zero skack and had to unscrew 10 brackets the length of my basement just to get a little wiggle room and still used a pex spacer.
From the Sharkbite FAQ page: NOTE: The tube liner is necessary for use with PEX, HDPE or PE-RT Pipe. It is not required for copper or CPVC, however, it is not necessary to remove the tube liner from the fitting.
Nop you don’t you never have slack
That looks really safe water right next to electrical box
Made up install,you never have slack!
Hey man. Next time don't cover up the action in your video with the script. Couldn't see your work half the time.
Never use a ball valve where it might be subject to freezing. When they are closed, the water inside the "ball" will expand and crack the fitting. Don't ask me how I know.
I've never removed the plastic bushing, no matter what type of tubing I am installing a Sharkbite fitting to.
I have to start using these and give up on sweating pipes, this looks to be more simple. But do they last?
@@MikeOrazzi Absolutely. I've been using them for years. In all of the installations I have done, only one failed, and that was because I forgot to check to see that the white insert was in place, which it wasn't.
@@GG1man The white insert? Is that the thing the dude pulled out with pliers for copper?
@@MikeOrazzi I have never pulled that white insert out, whether I was using copper, CPVC or PEX.
@@GG1man I've never seen anyone mention until this guy, so thanks for the tip. I have to fix a shower with 3 faucets and not much room to work with behind a wall, so I think Sharkbites may make it a slightly better experience.
Never use pro press stops. Just use a male adapter and fip stops that way repair isn't a huge ordeal
Great job. Anyway you could add Links for the tools you used.thanks
Finally one where the silicone had to be cut through. Thanks for the information!!!
You put the Mack gasket for the pop up drain upside down. The beveled side goes toward the sink drain hole and the flat side toward the nut. Otherwise a very nice job.
Good
Or you could just replace the guts in 2 minutes.
How do you separate the two cut ends of the pipe to get the valve installed. My existing 3/4 supply line has no ability to move back and then forward to insert into the valve ??
Hi, we’re making a video for this type of situation. It might be up within a couple days.
Showing how to remove a solder valve was informative - first 2.5 minutes. That said, this was not a “slip valve. Sharkbite Slip valves are longer and installed first past the insertion depth mark, e.g. for 1/2” the depth should be 1” (NOT 3/4” as shown) then, pushed back, using their tool (or something comparable) to the adjoining pipe depth mark. In reality, you will not have the “play” to push the adjoining pipe in place as presented in this clip, thus that’s the beauty of a slip valve.
As a plumber since 1991 I can honestly say I love when these get used by non plumbers. When they go away and something else in the area goes wrong I cut out those valves and put em in a bucket for emergencies only 😂
It’s all in the install. Like anything else, if it’s not installed correctly, it will fail. If installed property, all things being equal, these sharkbite fittings last forever.
you mean you take it from the home owner...
@samsno3667 no dude, I take them from the apartment complex we are likely replumbing... I wouldn't pull one out if it had access and wasn't buried in a fucking wall or if it has nothing to do with the work provided... the fuckers will fail eventually and if I leave it I know it's just a coupling in the line waiting to be the first thing to leak... a dumbass might think it better to leave them in but I'm more often doing whoever (probably a fucking maintenance guy) a favor... so no, I'm not a fucking thief if that's what the fuck you're trying to imply.
@melvinmcgregor2673 no they don't.... every valve that ever was made eventually leaks at the packing nut or pressed in seal. There are no exceptions to that... all valves need access and that is so they can be exercised occasionally and eventually replaced or repaired once they leak... and no mechanical fitting with non metallic seals lasts forever... where do you get this information?
@@JoeA1974 everything being equal - it’s a figure of speech Joe. . Again, if installed correctly, they’ll last just as long as anything else - get it now?
video needs editing. A lot of our time wasted talking about mistaking a screw for a nail, being surprised that a fitting is screwed into the interior pipe more than hand tight and lamenting the wrong size replacement in the bag.
You can fast forward
Waaw
I have never heard that tool called a nose plier. I've hears needle nose and also long nose. Something different!
Love the discipline to have all red and black tools. Good video

Good job, as usual plumbing is never straight forward!!
No one that is using a propane torch should be giving plumbing advice
IKR 😂
Ball valves: install the handle pointing downstream when open. This shows the direction of fluid flow.
The original was soldered and he has a propane torch . Why not just solder another one in it would be so much easier LOL. Too many processes to achieve so little.
so that it will be easier to replace down the line; but then ... it's not suppose to leak anymore...until the mtbf.
I feel like this is missing how to secure the bite.
shark Bite🤣😂😂
No, you don't usually have slack. Your lucky if you have slack.
and one of the main question is: what is the distance of the copper ends separating from each other so that the sharkbite will fit in as it is suppose to? This video doesn't address that.
@@samsno3667 According to Sharkbite it's a 2 inch gap between your copper/pex that is required for a 1/2 inch connector/valve.
Should have used compression if there's not enough pipe to cut and replace later
Thank you for taking the time for showing us video's on how to save money instead of hiring them Plumbers! Dawolf is just a hater and he's that plumber wanna be or is that's trying to rip ppl off.
Thanks for the tips where did you get the floor? I’m remodeling my bathroom and I like it
You're welcome, thanks for watching! I got the floor from Home Depot. Model number: HLVSPC028-C
@@HomePlumbingRepairsthanks!
Don’t mind Dawolf he’s just angry and probably hires unlicensed people at his house😂
The fact that your using a bag to remove a trap and a butane torch and all of the other things that you did just goes to show that your not a licensed plumber . Smh
Thanks for watching!
Where’s that AI voice from? I hear it a lot.
elevenlabs
Idk why this was so intriguing to watch
Thanks for watching!
This is why I just hire a bonded plumber who knows what they're doing. If you have a large home and you're doing reno then yes it makes sense to learn to do this and get the right tools.
Very true
Nice!!
