Looking at the new tubing twisting going in, have you considered supporting it with some sort of bearing arrangement? Say, one of those expandable reels like they use at the hardware store when you buy cut-to-length wire. Pay for itself the first time the tubing kinks.
Great video! I'm replacing my 1cuft/hr leak, 30+ YO buried copper service line via a home warranty company, and counter to mine and the service technician's suggestion of trenchless replacement, the company wants to spot repair my 30+ YO buried copper pipe. I called the plumbing company, then the warranty company, and I hope a second, third, fourth, etc opinion can deliver trenchless replacement. It does seem like the tools could be paid for with one or two jobs, and the work could last another decade. This video has helped re-affirm my stubborn-ness...I am impressed it made the corner, will this slitter method work for a straight run of Copper too?
I have galvanized pipe. I'm getting an estimate and they do trenchless. I'm glad they won't have to tear up my driveway, and I'm not that far from the curb. So that's a plus.
How did your replacement go? I have galvanized as well. I’m going to proactively replace my water main before getting new landscaping and sidewalks done. Checking out the different solutions
@@davidnewkirk2438 It went pretty well. They replaced the galvanized that went to the street with a copper pipe (regulations, had to have it copper) and later on, we replaced galvanized inside with pex. When the outside pipe was replaced, the water became clogged up, because there was old pipe inside the house. It happens, I guess. I didn't have a lot of water pressure, until the pex was installed. Love it!
@@tylero8595 100 psi don't bother me at all, I keep my house around 80. I have seen whole neighborhoods in the 120's. PRV is just another potential leak or break and shut the water pressure down to 20 psi
They simply feed a multi-strand pull-cable from the water service supply side up to & over to/through the foundation side & then reverse-pull the pipe splitter through while also pulling the replacement hose.
great way to get the job done. Im in Ohio, I replace water lines..mostly old galvanized..rusted badly...what system do you suggest for this type of material? Where should I look to buy tools needed to pull a line through when there's barely a pencil width of space in the pipe.
If we are pulling a one inch line, we make a 3 inch core hole. And use links seals to make it water tight like a frogs ass. But I like your snatch block. Very nice. Also our water has to be 5 feet deep. Up in NY
Thank you for the video. Question: can this be used if the sewage line has a belly ? I am guessing not because that would cause the new line to have a belly as well? Gotta 6-8 ft of a belly on the sewage line causing a back up every once a while. I can't afford to dig a tunnel for it, what would be your advice, what are my choices? Thanks.
Thats pretty slick! I'm thinking that the home owner saved a ton of money too. Great job!
GENIUS method. This excellent video is a great service to the general public. THANK YOU.
Brilliant. I’m a Multi-craft Technician but I’m making a career change. This is amazing
The video you shared is very helpful! hope to be your companion in the future, thank you for everything!👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great video, thanks for taking the time to post.
great informative video. Love the procedure and the thorough explanation

Very cool, love those compression fittings.
Wow!! Absolutely phenomenal!!

Can you do that when replacing buried copper?
How did you get the cable threw the old pipe from the meter to the house to pull the pex threw????
probably with a fish tape
Excellent work 👍🏻

Thats simply amazing
Love that concept
Can they split copper like that?
Is it safe to assume this won't work with old galvanized pipe?
Silly to put a PRV that will leak to take off 20 PSI, Should of left water pressure at 80 PSI. I did enjoy the pull in water pipe.
80psi is too much. You have to reduce it. At night the city pressure would probably bump up to 100psi. Always a prv.
@@tylero8595 100 psi don't bother me at all, I keep my house around 80. I have seen whole neighborhoods in the 120's. PRV is just another potential leak or break and shut the water pressure down to 20 psi
@@tylero8595 Probably go down in my area, Everyone runs sprinklers for yards almost year round.
Very impressive.
excellent !!!!
Any way I could figure up the rough cost of this? Currently have 3/4 galvanized underground
Pretty cool 👍🏾👍🏾
But how did you get pipe puller through system,
Information please.
They simply feed a multi-strand pull-cable from the water service supply side up to & over to/through the foundation side & then reverse-pull the pipe splitter through while also pulling the replacement hose.

What part of Ohio, I’m from just outside of Akron.

WHY….
Did the original build pipe fail??.
great job guys , what state was this recorded ?
Where are u located, and what states do you service
Genius
Can I run this through galvanized piping? I am desperate as I am working with limited funds? I have a small property in CA.
I do not know the answer to your question. Search for videos on PEX A tubing installation projects by homeowners.
I've got galvanized as well. How would a splitter split through metal? I don't see how this method would work. (So back to digging I now go!)
What does something like this cost
I just got an estimate for replacing my service line to the street, and it was $15k. yay
@@thecinematiccrapalliance How many feet are you from the meter?
What state are you in that allows pex underground
next winter will ne to be replaced again do the same thing with K soft copper, that can be good up to 60 years 😎
I would never have PVC at the wall penetration like that. Asking for future trouble to save $5.
Around how much is rhis kind of job?
Ha that’s not deep enough where I live!!
Great video your driver was hauling ass tho
Why use pex over copper?
Oh God I count count the ways it's better.
If we are pulling a one inch line, we make a 3 inch core hole. And use links seals to make it water tight like a frogs ass. But I like your snatch block. Very nice. Also our water has to be 5 feet deep. Up in NY
why would you let it twist goin in like that... slow down and do a decent job
Thank you for the video.
