![Replace Leaky SHUT-OFF VALVE With SHARKBITE Slip-In [EASY]](/img/n.gif)
It’s always a good feeling when the leak is gone, good job
Thanks I appreciate it and thanks for watching
You got the job done. Your situation was probably the toughest one would encounter. You had very little pipe to work with.
Yes, there was not a lot of pipe there but we got it done. Good luck on your project. Thanks for watching.
Very fine drywall sanding sponge works absolutely fantastic on cleaning the pipes. 👍 oh yea….fix that cracked tile too.
Thanks for the tip!
The water seems to be leaking out of the 'packing' nut of that valve. You can simply tighten the packing nut and that usually stops the leak. If that doesn't, then take the packing nut off and replace the old packing with new packing material. And if that is too much work then just take the old compression valve off and insert a new one, using the old compression ferrule and compression nut that is already on the pipe, it usually works fine with the new valve.
Excellent tips will try that next time appreciate it thanks for watching
I say if the fitting is 15 years old or more--take it out.
Yep that is the scary part. Pushing it on if you’re worried that you’re gonna crack a fitting somewhere down the line. Good luck on your install. Thanks for watching.
You can extend the copper coming out of the wall with a 1 inch sharkbite extension then ad a 2 inch copper out of that to put your new valve
I think you could try that it should work. Good luck on your install.
The issue of pushing the angle valve into the wall plate how are you going to remove the valve when you need to replace it due to a leak (push on release at the base of the valve)? you should have used a small hack saw to get closer to the valve.
Good tip and thank you for watching I’m not really a plumber I’m a do it yourself
I’m a compression , screw on person ( commercial electrical mechanic ) push on fittings seems like the way to go but I’m with you if you have to replace it 😮 , now I’m in the same boat, I’ve got to replace that fitting and debating on what to use 🤔
You are welcome thank you
you can just pull that compression sleeve and you have the full length of copper to work with
Excellent thanks for that info
Thank you
Thank you and good luck on your install
This should be , 'how not to replace a water shutoff' you should use a hacksaw to get as close as possible to the old shutoff, then use the pipe cutter to square off 1cm.
Thanks for the tips
Escutcheon is not the correct size
Never cut copper pipe with a hacksaw. It will warp have jagged egdes and leak with a shark bite fitting.
@@mrgcav use angle grinder with metal cutting blade.
If you had one, an angle grinder could cut flush to the nut, giving you more pipe to work with
Excellent Tips and Notes appreciate it and thanks for watching
I am in similar situation, I am going to get a sharkbite couple and some pex pipe if the length is too short
Good idea good luck on your install thanks for watching
Love it
Thanks
That looks like a compression nut connection was already in place. I think you could have simply unscrewed the old compression nut, preserving the full length of the stub out. No need to cut anything..
I do believe you are correct. Thank you for the tip.
Came here to say this.
Yeah he should not cut the copper tubing , he can just removed the old shut off valve.
I don't believe the 3/8 supply connection on the stop angle is national pipe thread, that is to say, a compression thread. Rather it is just plain strait mechanical thread, and not for sealing the connection. The water tight seal is made by a rubber gasket in the top of the nut. So the 'plumbers tape' really isn't necessary.
Excellent tip thanks for the info and thanks for watching
Hi, question. I had to replace my shutoff valve. When I took of the old compression sleeve, new one didn't fit because the old ring made the pipe a bit thinner. So I googled and found Sharkbite shutoff valve and installed. My question is, after installed, if I leave it just as is then it's no problem, no leak. But if I grab it and twist then water is coming out. Is this normal?
Do you wanna cut the pipe clean behind any bend or twist it, and make sure it’s straight and then sand it really good before you install the shark bite
See you here Bro
How much is the red tool and where do I get one you didn’t provide a link
You can buy it on Amazon just put in shark bite and all that stuff will come up
The Whole point of compression fittings is that you do not need and never use tape on them or they will leak.
Good point
I'll be changing my shut offs under my downstairs bathroom sink from sweated to compression in a few days. My plumber said push ons are not "code"? sigh... Compression are pretty easy too...
Everybody uses them and they work really well. I’ve had some for 10 years. Good luck on your install and thanks for watching.
@@TomLeeman much appreciated!
3:08 - What is this mark in your 2 arms? Do you use drugs ?
Tom, my project didn't turn out well. The shut off valves under the sink are not a standard size so I am unable to connect ANY kind of shut off valve. I found this out after my water was shut off to the house. Now I am waiting for a plumber to come over and re pipe the copper pipes so I can have a valve without solder...we will be without water through Easter. 😟 this, though an inconvenience, is the first plumbing failure for me as a "do it yourselfer"
I wish I could put these on my toilets! I just don’t have any extra pipe. I think I’m gonna spray the nuts of the old compression fittings with PB blaster, let it soak, and possibly hit it with a torch to heat it up and see if I can get them off, so I’ll have more pipe to work with.
I know you definitely have to have a little bit of pipe to work with. Sometimes you have to cut out the drywall to get to that pipe and in some cases you’ve got concrete walls and older building so it is a little bit of a pain, but good luck on your install.
You might be able to use a new compression fitting with the old ferrule and nut by putting a little pipe sealant on the old ferrule. Then sock it up tight to the new compression valve. They also sell compression ferrule removal tools for about $25.00 US.
you can get a pipe cutter that cuts closer to the edge..
I can't believe that the tile guy used that cracked tile behind the john. Where's craftsmanship or pride in work these days?
I think that tile cracks with a settling of the house is inside a second story
how much do you charge?
for u free!
555 wrong way wrong tools. Do you how to use Duck puller? Please
The only problem I see is that you will not be able to remove that SharkBite because it's recessed into the wall.
True hope it holds until we sell the house
next you have to replace that tile !!!
that's were the water leaked through to the light socket
If you took off the old fitting, you would have had plenty of pipe.
So true most of these things that I’m doing I’m doing for the first time so I learn as I go along. Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching.
Good video and good job.. Second option is call a professional Plumber, and stand in the doorway as you watch the plumber complete the job
while smoking a cigarette and drinking a cold glass of sweet tea, Then call it a day.
It’s definitely easier to have a plumber do it
Do not use Teflon tape on these shit off valves they all have gaskets that use compression and the tape prevents this.
Thanks for the tip
you didnt need to cut the pipe
Thanks for the tip
I’m not sure what you’re talking about
Watching this is sooooo painful! Don't loose your day job, unless its in plumbing!!!
I am definitely not a plumber
remove valve you dont have to cuti it. dump
I had some trouble with this one
