I can’t tell if you’re being for real. It’s completely illegal to have galvanized in Texas. My mind is blown. And I guarantee you the whole house is filled with it and the yard line. That’s a massive no no -_-
Hey boy, glad to see you’re not working in a fart environment today. Back in my day, and my pappys day, we worked 18 hour shifts in fart environments that would put you tiktack kids to sleep in a second, with nothing but a pair of the old ladies knickers for a mask
Sure ya did, that's why us tiktack kids are more efficient, paid better, and do double the work, in half the time, something you old farts don't know a damn thing about, but go ahead and tell us how great it is living with cancers and respiratory problems y'all developed over the years as well
Yes, and the CPC also requires dielectric fittings between dissimilar metals. Where's the diaelectric fitting between the galvanized pipie and the bronze cast fitting. That galvanized pipe where it connects to the cast bronze fitting is just going to rot out and rust to pieces. CPC 605.15
Good ole moenflo. In ca they require a dedicated outlet, cant have your water shutoff everytime batteries die...and they make homeowners get a box built to cover it. Very nice clean install
Insurance company flew a drone and told neighbors to clean up their backyard. Was told there were trip and fall hazards. When he asked, they said someone could get hurt and sue. Even a thief!
Flume has a leak detector. We installed it, but it doesn't include a shutoff. Can you provide additional info on the automatic water shutoff valve? Thanks
I looked up the automatic shutoff valve (by Moen). Looks pretty cool and can detect sudden changes in water flow or “unusual” flow rate. Wonder if there are any false positives where it shuts off water where there is no leak. Just all showers being in use at once 😂. Or it gets hacked and some joker turns off your water.
Clean it? It’s 100 ft run going underground and even if I wanted to it would do more harm than good. The pipe would probably crack and leak and clog up every fixture in the home with debris
The water shut off fittings are plastic?? Obviously it doesn't freeze there because it's outside, but this looks like a likely place for failure, and its purpose is to prevent that.
As the other guy already stated how far can you really clean before he can't get any further also think about it and the other sense why don't you flush a water heater after it's been so many years without service because the inside layer is coded in so much corrosion and scale buildup that that is your new barrier you no longer have enough metal to hold it together but other minerals instead if you clean it now you would have the potential for more issues as well maybe clean the little bit that you can get with your finger and any part that may prevent you from making your connections
Did you think you had two different water lines coming into your house hot water and cold water? Obviously the answer is cold water feeds into your water heater and anytime hot water is used it will register on the main line meter therefore you have a device connected to the main line before any fixtures and now detects any and all water usage in the house hot and cold does not differentiate if you catch the cold before it connects to anything
@@PlumbTrix no, I don’t think there are two lines coming into my house. What I am trying to understand that maybe you answered is if there is a drip per minute leak at a hot line angle stop, each drop results in an equal drop per minute of cold water filling the water heater back up? I was under the impression that after a certain amount of hot water used it prompts the water heater to fill? But you are suggesting any hot water drop results in an equal cold water drip to replace it? If so I had no idea tank water heaters were so precise.
@@teamsilva7563 your water heater does not mechanically or electronically control anything to do with your water flow. Think about your water heater as a pipe extension that is a very very big metal pipe capable of withstanding a heat source kinda like a pan on a stove top. A electric water heater has a set of thermostats to control electricity going to the elements that are responsible for heating the water; kind of like an electric stove in the way that when you put the stove on medium heat it doesn't stay on the whole time it goes on and off as needed for heat only. A gas water heater would have a thermostat, gas control valve, and usually some safety features, other various parts, along with a gas burner(like a stove) that heats the bottom of that "large metal pipe". Essentially water heaters work through thermodynamic principles where hot rises and cold falls. The cold side a lot of the time has a tube that reaches towards the bottom of the water heater to aid in speeding up the process of a call for heat. The only part in a house that works based on a reserve pressure principle such as you're referring to that I can think of off the top of my head is a well water pump system. This would be where you have a; submersible pump, pipe, wire, and other various things I won't bother to list for this conversation in a drilled well xxx feet deep. Additionally, you would have; well tank (usually installed; by the well, under the house, in a garage, or very rarely in an attic.), well tank t, pressure switch, and other things. This system most commonly will have a switch that is a "30/50". Meaning that at 30 psi the switch lets a set of contacts come together that are in a normally open state(if you know about electrical this makes sense otherwise I may as well be speaking greek to you) to provide power to the submerged well pump. The pump then would push water to the system until it reaches 50 psi. If you don't use any water this system should maintain this level indefinitely unless you have a leak of some sort. Hopefully this makes a little more sense to you now and I explained it well enough. If not, I urge you to look up some various water heater diagrams. There should be absolutely 0 times a tank water heater has any air in it during a normal daily operation. In-fact, air in any water heater can actually be a bad thing after installation (especially important to know for electric water heaters this may potentially cause cold showers very very quickly) outside of typical service/maintenance.
Good god I hate those Moen Flo's the owners never care to figure out how it works or what it does when it comes with their new home. Never had a customer ask for one 😂
Those flo sensors are trash. I've had a few that are faulty and ready crazy amounts of water being used during irrigation times after adding it in with the app
Asked my insurance company if they cared, and they said they dont care if I added it...., like what. Still might do it just in case for peace of mind...

Make Ty do what exactly..!???
Also make troubles when somting scouring and they need tonpay.

I just NEVER see plumbers using both tape and dope. I like that thoroughness.
Then you have never witnessed a real plumber . Not ever
Been doing it for 27 years, had leaks if using just one
always use both.

Everyone uses both. They serve different purposes.
Yup! Use both

Great work sir 🎉
That sounded like a baby duck Lol
Or a turtle having sex lol😅

This outside above grade work is so weird to me . Our plumbing utility is 8 feet below ground where I live . -30 winter
Clean
Bet they didn’t drop the owner’s rates after this…
now i know why everybody complains about inflation in us charged 500 for a job that is worth 250, these handymen, they wont go hungry anytime soon
Should have cleaned the pipe
Before putting it back together. It was so full of debris.
How much of it could he have cleaned? Like the first 2" of many feet?
As the other guy already stated how far can you really clean before he can't get any further also think about it and the other sense why don't you flush a water heater after it's been so many years without service because the inside layer is coded in so much corrosion and scale buildup that that is your new barrier you no longer have enough metal to hold it together but other minerals instead if you clean it now you would have the potential for more issues as well maybe clean the little bit that you can get with your finger and any part that may prevent you from making your connections
Was that a robocop sound at the end?
California, give it a day before it's stolen
gotta paint that copper and brass lol
Beautiful
I just curious why in Chicago we don’t have this kind of valve😂
so is the auto shut off for the gov't to use when they feel you've gotten enough water, or is a shut off for a leak?
How does the moen Flo determine a leak on a hot water branch? That part doesn’t make sense to me.
