- This job is not "easy" that is for the average home owner. However if you educate yourself and prepare yourself it is doable! This gets you through the project without the added conversation. If this video is help please subscribe!
Thank you for this video! I wasn't even thinking about just reusing the existing copper connections by removing the solder joints - but you saved me a ton of time and work. Thank you!
Well done! Do you have a video to show how you closed up the wall (cement backer board) and re-tile?
Well done. To the point and no frills or drama. Thanks.
that clip reminds me of the way my AT lines connect to the radiator on my car
How did you remove the valve after using the torch?
Very easy to install.
Thank you for this video.
How did you patch the shower
Why the bell did you not show the removal of the pipes??
Great instruction video!
Hi dear
Is this procedure safe to do from small hole like shower cap hole? Any possibility for leaks behind the wall after the job done
How do you shut new valve on and off?
After replacing the valve, can you re-use the old cement backer board or should you replace the entire board?
How much would this cost for me to hire someone to do this
I just got a quote from a guy in Kissimmee Florida. The dude wants $500+ for labor and $200 in parts.
I charge ppl $350
And if I have to open the wall and repainted the wall that’s cost about 550
$1000
You can buy a small torch, solder, flux, and Emory cloth or the tool that they have to clean copper for probably under 50-60$ just go to a home improvement store or look up a plumbing sales company in your area. Its not hard, I learned this in a day before UA-cam, I suggest looking up a video and doing it yourself. Now wall repair if needed, i would probably leave that a pro....
@@son_of_guns I did the same, but I did some practicing with sweating the copper pipe on some scrap before doing the actual job. Thanks.
👍
Where is that valve that you shut off in the household?
U should have it in the front or in the sidewalk or u have a shutoff valve some where around the house
Theres a main shutoff in your basement or utility room
@@darianzielinsky3284 I wish
I would a little silicone grease to all of the orings
Also when cutting copper pipe it needs to be reamed on the inside of the pipe. Code specifies reamed to full bore
Did the valve come with a black plastic plug where tub spout water comes through? if so how do you remove that?
He didn't ream any of his pipe. That is the most important thing when working with copper.
I was quoted about 1120 for this yesterday (for labor only I have the parts). That's why I am watching this video :). I have a tile that needs to be cut and there is no access panel on the back.
Same here Emin, $1200 plus tax. Built-in cabinet behind so no access either. Guess this is an average price.
I came across an issue with the same shower valve. The shower head was leaking with good pressure even with the tub spout off, even with the tub spout removed. Shortened the pipe for the spout but the didn’t do it. Replaced the cartridge with a new one and still the shower head sprays water as if the spout is on but the spout is no even installed lol.
I did notice the “up” word on the valve is facing downwards and not upwards as is says.
Could this be the problem pls help.
It would have been helpful to see how you pulled apart the old pipes after you heated them. I noticed you didn't have gloves on and didn't say anything about eye protection.
Eye roll
It was pretty obvious he dipped his hands in candle wax before starting for hand protection. As well was wearing contact lenses for eye protection.
