joe great vid on pro press...yea can see it saving time. Old school here,still thread the pipe guy..ha! Two years from full retirement cant justify a $2000 plus tool these days...a few of our younger guys swear by pro press...i ve always been a code guy ,happy to see you the same! take care see ya friday!
Good to see you here. One of my mentors is very close to retiring like your self, and I’ve convinced him on many other “new age tool” but like you, he won’t budge on using or buying this one😆. Side note I’ll keep,this story short. Just recently We were in a jam & noticed a pipe was leaking, & at the same time we were trying to figure out where these copper lines were going underground. Long story short, we had to use my tool to valve off one of the leaking pipe not knowing if it was tied in with anything else.😬🤌🏼
Great vid and well done, my friend. Always great to someone that cares about their work and knows the code. Wish you were in my area! 😃 Best wishes, and keep em coming.
@@ahybki lol thanks. It could have been backwards tbh. I have it in my head that it was that day lol for some reason. Rushing around probably just put whatever up. 🍻
Nice video, and question what is better to run underground for gas ? I had a leak but the last homeowners had black pipe but it leaked bad and I’m new to this please help if possible. Thank you
Underground is nice if done properly & by code. Polyethylene with risers is the only way to do underground gas. Iron is NOT aloud underground. Hope that helps. Thanks
Nice job. All that work and cost for a grill! I was thinking about doing this myself at my house, but instead i just fill a few propane tanks a year. Way easier, plus I don’t have a gas line running 75 feet along the back of my house.
These clients don’t have to worry about propane tanks running out when hosting many parties. They also think gas line isn’t as ugly as propane tanks laying around like a trailer park. To each their own I guess 🤷♂️. Cheers
@@HVACRNorth I hear ya. I fill 5 tanks at a time so I always have spares and make less trips. And I’m not trashy, they’re stored away when not in use. Good video dude.
Both good for water, iron, & refrigeration. B18 does do a little bigger size pipe, & depending where you are located Refrig. jaws brands are easier to locate or buy depending if you have the m12 or m18.
@@HVACRNorth Dont buy expensive tools on ebay or your local pawnshop or fb market, or offerup or craigslist, since you dont know if its stolen the serials from the tools will be inside the tools, when its is broken u have to send that tools in for repair and serials said its stolen u just lost it.
@HVACRNorth lol you are good man! This was during a ot podcast you asked who was on the hundred I think for the candian bill. But I lived in florida. Not a big deal just bustin ya. Glad to see you post vids
Oh man,your a press guy now! I honestly cant stand any press fittings.We have had 3 failures on 3 different brands ib 3 different areas this year! Only common was they were all 6 to 7 years old! The one fitting cost us 54 grand,took out a fuel monitoring panel and an generator ATS control! My company does not allow there use,so the million dollar question is,who is getting away with using them. If you want burr free pipe,buy an evolution saw! I never ream anymore.I will send you a pic
Hey bud. 3 different brands and why? Water, refrigeration or gas? Yea send a picture to overtime email or mine. I’m an everything guy lol. That band saw was expensive I just say.
@@HVACRNorth nibco,Viega and not sure what the other one was! I love my saw,best $400 i ever spent,it cits steel,stainless steel,aluminum and you will never ream again! Perfect straight cuts everytime! I bought mine originally for building race car parts(ers tubing).Water was its use!
This tool is expensive but considering what plumbers charge AND the fact 99% of them decided to no longer act as a proffesional this makes complete sense to buy to complete your own projects.
@@HVACRNorth Not here in the USA, plumbers do both, at least in the states I know of. Do you and your competitition ace as proffesionals or are most guys arrogant babies that never developed their social skills past the 9th grade? By proffesional, I mean how you act, not the quality of work.
Excellent job not showing the code out of the book on the screen. Two years ago we finally got our first gas leak at the seam of the casting in a 90° elbow . It was installed in 1919 to 1921. All gas fitting should over 100 years.. 👍
Fantastic, this is exactly what I was looking for. I was unsure if Megapress fittings could be used outside and how to paint around or over them.
@@wogfun Ty. You can paint if you’d like I just wouldn’t glob* paint inside. By code outside Gas Iron has to be all painted. 🍻
you're the man Joe. we need some more videos! your content is great

Cool video! Good work.
Bro, love your video but was your ladder backwards or am I just crazy or do I use mine wrong?
@@ahybki lol thanks. It could have been backwards tbh. I have it in my head that it was that day lol for some reason. Rushing around probably just put whatever up. 🍻

You have a wealth of information on your channel. 👍
Thanks 🙏
Greate job !

Salute brother
Nice job, Joe!
First message .. coming from one of the OGs of the community. Thanks bud 🤘🍻

@@cliffordmontana4562 I still gave propane bbq👀 lol. Thanks bud
what iss the brand of those hangars? very nice
“Pipe stays” common at suppliers.
not in pennsylvania@@HVACRNorth
@@KennardWeaver Try Home Depot “water line pipe stay”. Epoxy coated
Is this your yearly video Joe.
Quality,..... not quantity.
Great job Joe!
Thanks fellow 🍁 🙂
Which code are you referencing bc Chapter 6 is appliances in the IFGC
Nice job !
Cheers😂
Hes back online good man! Hope youve been doing good
Hey brother .. always nice to see you homie 🤘
@@HVACRNorth clean install guy! 😁 stay safe and do your best
Thoughts on m12 vs m18 press tool?
Both good for water, iron, & refrigeration. B18 does do a little bigger size pipe, & depending where you are located Refrig. jaws brands are easier to locate or buy depending if you have the m12 or m18.
Anywhere online you reccomend buying megapress fitting for a diyer?
Used tool sites in your area? EBay
@@HVACRNorth I'll check eBay I usually buy on Amazon and was not seeing any shut off valves in mega press.
@@micaht52 Sorry the actual fittings are hard to get anywhere but suppliers.
@@HVACRNorth Dont buy expensive tools on ebay or your local pawnshop or fb market, or offerup or craigslist, since you dont know if its stolen the serials from the tools will be inside the tools, when its is broken u have to send that tools in for repair and serials said its stolen u just lost it.
Great job! Happy National HVAC Tech Day!🎉
Ty John
Why too a fan of meth head torp ?
Where is this? NYC?
Canada
What code are book are you referring to,, there do you get them pipe hangers,, why not just use a bell on the end? I hate bushings
Hows the summer treating you?
Good buddy.. trying to do a vid about this DC blower ok a roof with our big Canadian 600v - 480v transformer crapping out as well.
How’s yours
@@HVACRNorth working away, needed to hit up a cottage or something along those lines
@@DJSubAir it’s been a minute since I have. Are you?
@@HVACRNorth I haven't figured it out yet but I'm hoping to
Nice informative and well done video…. You know your stuff buddy👊✌️👍😎🇨🇦
Thanks 🍁. best rock truck driver folks 🤘
Hey North thanks for the thumbs up. I left you a message on whatnot but not sure if you got it.👍
Hello my beautiful friend how are you my dear friend osm good job my beautiful friend 🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳❤❤❤🙏🙏
Well Done
Your good
Thanks bud
Cut and thread doesn’t take that much longer.
lol right
Get it joe! BTW you still owe me a hat from the o.t podcast like a year ago lol!
Refresh my memory please I have a couple. I owe chipmunk as well from uk
@HVACRNorth lol you are good man! This was during a ot podcast you asked who was on the hundred I think for the candian bill. But I lived in florida. Not a big deal just bustin ya. Glad to see you post vids
@@wewonsemail hvacovertime let me see what I can do 🤫😉
mega press not pro press :) Pro press is copper.
Nobody ever shows exactly where to put the jaws when pressing black iron there’s a grey area there
The title should be megapress not propress, propress is copper tubing
Ah f**k it.. prioress trends more 😆
cool gas vid, that roof job? fuck that, what's that shirt you're wearing?
Shirt your an OG 🤔
👍
Ty bud 🤘

Plumbers should be doing drains/sinks work. HVACr Techs do most Gas fitting in Canada.
