I agree. You don't have to take the handle off, but I think he was trying to show the nut that needed to be tightened for those who have no idea what their doing like this 55 year old grandma! Got it fixed BTW....yahooo!!! 😁
Thank you so much! Now I don’t need to change the whole thing, my husband just passed away and I don’t wanna spend money for plumbers so I am doing everything my own and its hard sometimes so i just UA-cam stuff and everything seems so confusing and complicated and I need to buy some of the tools and came across your vid and this thing is so helpful, thank you so much!!! 🙏🤗💕
All these folks being negative. No you don't have to take the handle off. But you won't break the plastic handle if someone inexperienced slips off with a wrench, and you can see if there is a drip so much easier. If you gotta be that way then this video isn't for you. Bo is a national treasure and should be treated as such.
Add to the advice, every 6 months, turn the valve off and on several times. Helps eliminate build-up, and when you need the value to turn off, it will. Having problems with it turning all the way off, do the same.
Oh my goodness...so glad I found this video. While stranded at home for a few days due to severe weather, snowed in, my pipes started dripping just like what you showed. And, just like what you showed, I was able to remove the caps and tighten the nuts. And, IT WORKED! So thankful to you !!!
I've never had that work,but sometimes you can work the handle on and off. But then again if no one has messed with it the seal is probably bad which would need replaced.
Thank you!!! While I agree it doesn't have to come off, and i did try it, It was easier for me to get a good grip on the nut without the handle there. Thank you!
If I would've known it was this easy I wouldn't have been without hot water in the second bathroom for the last month 😂😂. Thanks, Dad!!!! Now i don't have to call maintenance haha
Another dad comment, That usually will Not fix it! the leak is due to the rubber gasket (mounted on a stem) being deteriorated inside, you can use a multi turn valve stem repair kit to fix it, not quite as fast or easy but it works. I just did it yesterday,
Everyone is so sensitive these days. Look at all the negativity in these comments. Makes you fools in the eyes of the wise. Good job showing these kids how it’s done.
Thanks for the video. Good job keeping your hand in the way of your camera angle so the viewers could not observe which way you're tightening each of the nuts.
Better way to do it is have a replacement valve on hand unscrew the guts and replace the guts with the new guts from the one hand. Problem solved for the next 10 years.
Or you can shut off the main and replace the whole valve it’s like 5-6 dollars at the hardware store and it will last longer theirs o rings and seals inside the valve overtime they wear smarter idea is to change the valve
Also sometimes those have so much deposits that u wont be able to even close all the way but thats okay thats why u have the main shut off meanwhile u fix that replace the shut off valve and bam ur leak is fixed
i had the feeling that i should have read/look at the comment section ppl are so rude nowadays. no one is perfect and i bet most people talking mierda in the comments can’t fix anything. also this is a free video ppl
that's the shut off telling you it's old and tired, it's like giving grampa a snort of cocaine- you give him a short burst of life, but you'll speed up his death.
May I have the name of a little cotton roll thing that you put into like a circle box and you close it, I know it's connected to the valve, well the valve I have
All of them have shut off valves some houses are set up an mana block system But as corroded as those angle stops look I would’ve just changed the whole fucking Angle Stop you’re gonna tighten up at night which is going to recompress a rubber gasket that’s already going bad
Almost every time I’ve had a leaking shut off valve it was a bad seal. They say because they’re rarely used and once you do have to use them, the seal fails. 🤷🏻♂️
My brother in Chris turn the water of and replaced them both their like 8 bucks this is a warning that their starting to take you longer to go to the store than to replace them
Not all fixtures have a shut off but definitely should. Also you don't need to take that handle off.
Every fixture should and if it doesnt id install one

Thank you for clear and concise instructions!❤
Another dad tip. You don't have to take that handle off.
As an entry level maintenance tech, thank you so much.

Looks like Dad smacked his thumb with a hammer 😂

Take the handle off for fun, cuz it doesnt need to come off 😅

Better illustration for a beginner
So the problem irh that is the handle gets rusted and it wont come ooff
He's just clearly showing the main nut

Love the Love, Dad at the end ❤️ 😊
It's really work! fix the leaking today, 🙏Thank you so much Sir.❤👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! I was very stressed out.
Thanks Dad I appreciate the tutorial!
I didn't know I could do this I was going to go tomorrow to buy a new valve but I'll try this first!
Im a.green! Maintenance tec. Your videos help alot.
Thanks for guidance
I've never had that work,but sometimes you can work the handle on and off. But then again if no one has messed with it the seal is probably bad which would need replaced.
I totally needed to hear this tip. Thx Dad
This worked!! Thank you!!!
You are amazing unc ... Thank you
Done this before. Works like a champ.
Turn off supply, take handle off, take packing nut off. Replace packing with either graphite or teflon rope of equivalent size. Reassemble.
Thanks Dad! For real!!!!
Very helpful! Thank you
Thanks, bro. Much appreciated.
You just saved me alot of money and times thank you so much
Thank you sir. Got mine fixed.
Thank you DAD!!
Thanks Dad!
Thank you!!! While I agree it doesn't have to come off, and i did try it, It was easier for me to get a good grip on the nut without the handle there. Thank you!
A Boy Scout that does plumbing. Cool
Daddy of the day thanks ❤
This guy is god sent thanks you sir appreciate the content
Awesome sauce thanks so much you definitely helped out and made me feel like a plumber lol
If I would've known it was this easy I wouldn't have been without hot water in the second bathroom for the last month 😂😂. Thanks, Dad!!!! Now i don't have to call maintenance haha
Thank you dad!
lol I like it bro. I’m a plumber and you even used the channel locks the correct way.
Another dad comment, That usually will Not fix it! the leak is due to the rubber gasket (mounted on a stem) being deteriorated inside, you can use a multi turn valve stem repair kit to fix it, not quite as fast or easy but it works. I just did it yesterday,
Thanks Man, have that situation and just repaired!!🤙
Thank you!!!!
Everyone is so sensitive these days. Look at all the negativity in these comments. Makes you fools in the eyes of the wise. Good job showing these kids how it’s done.
It's not all wrong . The only way this would work is if it was loosened by someone. It leaks because of calcium deposits or bad seals.
Thanks , Dad ❤
Thanks for the video. Good job keeping your hand in the way of your camera angle so the viewers could not observe which way you're tightening each of the nuts.
Thanks for the help! Add my subscription to one of many!!
Handle does not have to come off but it makes for a video
Thanks dad :)
What is the purpose of removing the handle?
Easier access. You don't actually have to remove it.
You saved me $300 thank you.
Thanks dad
Thank you sir

That's the best bet.
And don't forget to replace it with a quarter turn fixture stop!
Like the quarter turn, if on copper pipe use only compression valves!Thank-you Peter! Jim
5-6 dollars in what planet? Check again, more like 8 on up
@@joer7327 I bought 10 on eBay for about $48, 6 months ago. I needed 9, same with the smoke detectors and hoses. I never buy one! Thanks….Jim
@@joer7327 EBay has a pack of 10 for $38+tax, free shipping…..Jim
Thanks dad! I fixed it! Didn't take the handle off though.
Thanks
Fix that other leak--the blood on your thumb! Just joking around... helpful video and straight to the point. Thanks.
Thankfully dude didn't have to use a hammer......again. *lol*
Can you just replace the whole valve if need be?
Oh dammmm so that's what dads are for lol
You know how many people gonna snap that off 😆
❤
He hasr blood on his hands and his thumb is a little black which means he's been hitting something and missing
I thought this guy was the trailer connector guy.
What if the like from the shut off valve is still leaking?
Its called a packing nut. If its still leaking it needs to be replaced
Thank you. I'm gonna try this in my apartment.
So what size wrench do you use?
And what makes the nut come loose in the first place?
Replace with a 1/4 turn
It's called a Packing nut.
Also sometimes those have so much deposits that u wont be able to even close all the way but thats okay thats why u have the main shut off meanwhile u fix that replace the shut off valve and bam ur leak is fixed
With a busted knuckle, I’m sure it’s worth $6 for a new valve 😂
Mine is not shutting down for our toilet. Can I just replace the guys inside?
Oh no Dad, what happened to your hand?😮
What if there is no valve
And those valves are called angle or straight stops. Just more clarification
i had the feeling that i should have read/look at the comment section
ppl are so rude nowadays. no one is perfect and i bet most people talking mierda in the comments can’t fix anything. also this is a free video ppl
Sometimes this works but those old valves are notoriously leaky
Never used those valves. Always install quarter turn valves
that's the shut off telling you it's old and tired, it's like giving grampa a snort of cocaine- you give him a short burst of life, but you'll speed up his death.
So there isn't a rubber oring inside that goes bad?
Bingo! Most of these valves use a stem with O rings inside!
You can do only ones
May I have the name of a little cotton roll thing that you put into like a circle box and you close it, I know it's connected to the valve, well the valve I have
It's called a packing nut
Just like a plumber. Uses a pliers on a chrome fitting.
All of them have shut off valves some houses are set up an mana block system But as corroded as those angle stops look I would’ve just changed the whole fucking Angle Stop you’re gonna tighten up at night which is going to recompress a rubber gasket that’s already going bad
And also no need to remove the handle. Sure it’s makes it’s easier but it’s an unnecessary. Can definitely tell this guy isn’t a plumber.
My issue is from the very top faucet under it the middle one
Or replace the angle stop…..
The corrosion on the t shows someone else that didn't know what they were doing was there first 🤡💩🙉🙈🙊
Almost every time I’ve had a leaking shut off valve it was a bad seal. They say because they’re rarely used and once you do have to use them, the seal fails. 🤷🏻♂️
Mines leaking at the supply line for my sprayer
seems dangerous…he is bleeding already 😳🤔
My brother in Chris turn the water of and replaced them both their like 8 bucks this is a warning that their starting to take you longer to go to the store than to replace them
Its that simple?? Damn
The green t behind it is leaking...thats why its green!
It’s called a packing nut. Just for clarification
You don’t need to take off the handle to tighten the nut. WTF is up with these shabby fix it videos?
Handymen.
And a plumber would charge $150 to do this simple job. Thanks youtube..
You dont have to pull the handle.
