Dear B.H. , I just think this is one of the best videos EVER for showing a novice like me how to do plumbing. This particular job is exactly what I need to do and what I was fretting about. In this vid, I learned how to take off sharkbite caps with the dedicated tool, and how to install quarter-turn straight valves using channel locks and an adjustable wrench. You are so generous to show us how to do this, and the camera work showing every single step SO CLEARLY was more than professional. THANK YOU!!
Down about 20 years since I've done this and I forgot about the compression fittings. I should quit smoking weed. Thank you for the video friend, you did a great job making it very clear for a burnout like me thank you again!
Hello Guru Thanks for educating the community and appreciate your volunteering Thanks to your team Please keep posting some more Tips and Trick of your great profession God Bless You and your family
This saved me from calling a plumber. So easy now that you show it to me! I just need a pipe cutter to cut off the sweat valves I currently have on my pipes.
Great video thank you. Can't believe the person who installed the sink in the kitchen didn't put in shut-off valves. Wanted to replace the faucet, but saw there were no valves. DOH.. off to home depo I go.
Perfect thank you. Went to change out my faucet (first timer) and discovered I don't have any isolation valves already installed in my water lines coming up to my sink.
Great info on your video...Question please. By any chance do they make a shut off valve that you can screw on the fitting of an old style shut off valve? So that you can leave the old style shut off value, (the old style no longer shuts off)... This is for a bathroom sink supply line.
Keep in mind that this is -installing new valves . However, If you are replacing old compression valves be prepared to remove the ferrule ( that brass ring) which may be difficult to come off. You may be able to remove it with pliers , but if not then be prepared to cut the pipe,or cut the ferrule, of purchase a $20 ferrule removal or puller tool etc.. Be careful not to deform or damage the pipe while removing the ferrule. .Other helpful things to know is that you should clean the end of that pipe . Do not damage the ferrule by over-tightening the locking nuts. Also purchase the valves with the correct orientation (take a photo of the old valves with you). No thread sealants are needed (no teflon, ptfe paste) because water tight joint is made by compression between the pipe, the nut and the ferrule. Buy an extra valve just in case
Personally, --and I'm no plumber-- I would always throw a little pipe dope on those ferrules. It's not going to hurt. Just like every O-ring should always get a little valve grease. It's money in the bank.
i attempted to replace the shut off valves but the hot water side the water doesn’t stop even after 20 minutes of draining with the main water line turned off. do i also need to turn off the hot water tank line too? thank you for your help.
Thank you for taking the time to make this excellent video. Regarding the tightening of the nut between the angle stop valve and the copper line. Should that be a half or three fourths or a full turn after the nut is hand snug tight.
@@thebaldhandyman1103 plumbing since 1985? And you still don't have a license? That's a long apprenticeship. It's all good, keep installing home depot Brasscraft compression valves onto type M copper, a plumber will come back and fix it in ten years when the valve breaks off.
@@oldbird299 don't be mad Don. You guys provide a valuable service for electricians and plumber's. If you weren't out there making a mess of things, there would be way less work for us. Keep "saving money" for your customers.
Turn it to the right is off and turn straight up is on correct? You make it look so easy, I have to find a tool to help me to turn because it won't move why? Help. This is my first time trying to mess around with the faucets.
I just replaced a stop valve and when I looked at the valve I could see that the washer was starting to fall apart. I replaced it with a 1/4 turn ball valve. Just buy make sure to buy the stop valves that are all metal. There are some 1/4 valves that have a plastic ball, seal and nylon turn shaft.
You noticed that no Teflon tape is used. Using Teflon tape is worse than unnecessary, it is where inexperience meets stupidity. A little lubricant on the threads is all you need. Other wise a very good instructional.
I might of missed something, but I think you used the wrong side of the Sharkbite removal tool for the removal of those caps. The hollow side of the tool is supposed to be applied against the fixture while removing. I think you used the solid side.
@@_JonathanReeser because this guy does not know what he's doing. Real plumbers always apply pipe dope to the ferrule and socket before installing stop valves.. they also know the difference between an angle stop and a straight stop.
Tape is not needed on the threads, all the sealing is done by the ferrule pressing tightly against the pipe and the valve. If there is a leak it could be because the nut has been tightened too much. One use for teflon tape would be to wrap around the ferrule itself (not the threads, just the ferrule) to help improve the seal, but only if it isn't sealing on its own. If done properly there should be no need for tape anywhere.
Thanks! I recently changed the faucet on my kitchen sink and when my Mother turned the valve to turn the water supply off, it started to leak. It is a plastic valve...
Just goes to show handymen don't know what there talking about. These will work on cpvc and pex as they have same OD. Inserts should be used when installing on pex.
I did this today, but it still leaks where the compression ring and nut are. Maybe the valve is faulty at the compression ring and nut. I tried it a couple times.
I need to change a cartridge in my faucet but, the shut off valve under the sink is broken and no longer closes. The problem...it's the hot water. If I shut off the main water supply, it(theoretically) will stop the water but, what about the water in the hot water tank? Does it need to be entirely emptied in order to safely pull off that valve for replacement?
Thanks for the info. Both faucets need a new cartridge. One more question: I have the old crystal (plastic) delta knobs..do they sell replacement knobs? More specifically, the handle type rather than the doorknob type.
I have valves in my bathroom sink, but not in kitchen sink. Dishwasher supply line in crawl space did not have a valve. I soldered a ball valve for that line. Upgrade for hose and clamp. House built in 1969
I was sweating changing my 70s faucet because of this. Put my mind at ease, easy peasy. Hero man
How fortunate I found your video! As a 71 year old female, I'm still doing my own repairs and love learning something new. Thanks so much!

Hello Guru
Thanks for educating the community and appreciate your volunteering
Thanks to your team
Please keep posting some more Tips and Trick of your great profession
God Bless You and your family
Thank you. This confirmed how to replace an old faucet that was soldered on using these fittings.
Great video, thanks! Minor correction though, thats a straight valve not an angled one. Thanks again.
This saved me from calling a plumber. So easy now that you show it to me!
I just need a pipe cutter to cut off the sweat valves I currently have on my pipes.
Thank you for the tutorial, and the walk down memory lane with Marvin Gaye.
excellent! these quarter turn valves are gonna save me a lot of work! thanks for the vid!
You're welcome !
Thanks well informed with your instructions as to how to attach fittings.
Great video thank you. Can't believe the person who installed the sink in the kitchen didn't put in shut-off valves. Wanted to replace the faucet, but saw there were no valves. DOH.. off to home depo I go.
perfect is right! exactly what i had been searching for. straight simple clear! thank you!
i can now get out from under the kitchen sink!
This is video is great! You just saved me a plumbing bill.
You're welcome ;-)
Hope you saved a LOT !
Perfect thank you. Went to change out my faucet (first timer) and discovered I don't have any isolation valves already installed in my water lines coming up to my sink.
Thank you! Great music too. 😃
Great Video! You just saved me over $100.00 Thanks!
Spot on ,Just what I needed to See “.. 🎄🎉🎄
Thank You! You have given me the confidence to this on my own!
Very good video very straightforward
Nice job brother! No bull shit video. Love it
yes, so easy. i m good now. i just have to get shark bite release. thank you sir.

Does turning them after they've been tightened affect the ring. Why not put it where you want then tighten it
i attempted to replace the shut off valves but the hot water side the water doesn’t stop even after 20 minutes of draining with the main water line turned off. do i also need to turn off the hot water tank line too? thank you for your help.
Very sharp presentation. I subscribed...
Thank you !
Thanks for the video I am literally buy them tomorrow
Thanks a lot. Exactly what I was looking for.
thanks for such a great video, I need to install those for each of my bathrooms, your video is a tremendous help
Thank you for taking the time to make this excellent video. Regarding the tightening of the nut between the angle stop valve and the copper line. Should that be a half or three fourths or a full turn after the nut is hand snug tight.
Good video good tune
handyman doing plumbing = more work for licensed plumbers, thanks for the future business !
LOL ! I've done plumbing in some capacity since 1985...where were YOU then

@@Pigsandpies1984 it's just a standard old compression valve. What are you going on about?
Thank You ! I’m gonna try to add my own!
You are the man
Great video. Solid soundtrack!
Perfect!! just what I was looking for thank you.
Position the valve correctly before tightening the compression fittings. Don't spin the valve once it's tightened.
100% irrelevant
This clearly isn't the first time he's done this - he seems to know what he's doing...
you know how...yet you're watching a "how to" hmmm
Need to do this to my sink...old plumbing. I have a habit of using plumbers tape on everything. Would you say it helps? Or unnecessary?
Master Plumber trick. Use some plumbers grease or vaseline on ferrel to ease when tightening !
Great idea, thanks for the trick !
Valve grease is for O-rings. You want pipe dope for those ferrules.
@@AStanton1966 Not on Fluid side!!! Put on top where you tighten it and that reduces the friction!!
Very helpful. Thanks.
Great video. Thanks for posting!
Very Useful Video Thank you so Much

Congratulations thanks 👍👏👏👏
Can compression valves as see in your video be used on existing copper supply pipes that have threads? Thanks
Wow. Thank you for sharing!!!!!
Awesome video. Thank you so much.
great video, and even better music!
You noticed that no Teflon tape is used. Using Teflon tape is worse than unnecessary, it is where inexperience meets stupidity. A little lubricant on the threads is all you need. Other wise a very good instructional.
Can you do this for toilets?
Thanks! Can these be installed onto chromed pipe?
Don't care how simple this looks - if I do this myself, I'm gonna fuck it up somehow ...
Are the shark bite fittings reuseable?
neat! thx for showing me this!
I love you bald plumber man
LOL ! Thanks
I might of missed something, but I think you used the wrong side of the Sharkbite removal tool for the removal of those caps. The hollow side of the tool is supposed to be applied against the fixture while removing. I think you used the solid side.
More than one way to skin a cat. It worked though. Your input is still duely noted. 🙂
What happens if the pipe is old do you still have to cut it or could you just put it on
so how do you open water, I have similar pipe in a room and not sure how do I connect a sink using them
What the music name love it so much ?
Shazam not picking it up plz tell me 🙏🏻
It's named on last 10 seconds of video
Other videos show tightening the nut for the compression ring 1/4 to 1/2 turn max. What did you tighten yours to.
I tighten it until I can't tighten it anymore
If replacing a compression fitting shut off valve, can you reuse the compression ring and nut that is already on the pipe?
Yes
What type of handles are these? I have these underneath my kitchen sink but I can't turn them to increase the water pressure.
Daniel Hairston - top tune!
Very good, thanks
Thanks for the info.
No problem ;-)
thanks got the great video.
why didn't you use Teflon tape when installing the valve?
It doesn't need it...the compression rings keep it water tight.
The Bald Handyman what happens when it is leaking at the botttom nut that tightens to the stopper? It is on very tight and I am still having leaks
JW Reeser: Maybe you overtightened it and it started deforming the pipe?
@@_JonathanReeser because this guy does not know what he's doing. Real plumbers always apply pipe dope to the ferrule and socket before installing stop valves.. they also know the difference between an angle stop and a straight stop.
Do you have to rough up the end of the copper pipe before installing?
no...but it doesn't hurt to do it lightly
Why no Teflon tape at the compression ring threads?
Tape is not needed on the threads, all the sealing is done by the ferrule pressing tightly against the pipe and the valve. If there is a leak it could be because the nut has been tightened too much. One use for teflon tape would be to wrap around the ferrule itself (not the threads, just the ferrule) to help improve the seal, but only if it isn't sealing on its own. If done properly there should be no need for tape anywhere.
Do you recommend to flare the ends of the copper pipe? Or is it necessary to do so?
No...not needed
The Bald Handyman 👍
Thanks! I recently changed the faucet on my kitchen sink and when my Mother turned the valve to turn the water supply off, it started to leak. It is a plastic valve...
Can those compression fittings be used on CPVC. and PEX ? Or just copper.
Just copper...although SOME plastic pipes do have compression rings, like with toilet supply lines.
oceanrider12 Just seen some at Lowe's
Just goes to show handymen don't know what there talking about. These will work on cpvc and pex as they have same OD. Inserts should be used when installing on pex.
nice video , lets get it on musiccccccccccc.
Thank you sir
Fkn epic intro looool
Can you install compression shutoff valves on soft (flexible) copper pipe?
There are 2 types of HARD copper, both you can, but not soft-rolled copper
What is artist version that song ?
can the old valve be soldered to keep from cutting it / making it shorter?
No, valves are specific to their application...this is a compression valve, there are solder valves.
Because you didn’t cut it in front of us I wanna know if you already cut it before you did that
I did this today, but it still leaks where the compression ring and nut are. Maybe the valve is faulty at the compression ring and nut. I tried it a couple times.
I know it's been 8 months, you can put a little pipe dope on those ferrules.
That’s a straight stop not an angle stop, if it was an angle stop the 3/8 would be where the handle is.
Seriously with the sexy music? Lol
hahaha
Before removing old valve, how do I know if the old valve is compression valve or soldered valve?
If it has a nut it's compression
What if you have galvize pipe for shut off vale
Thank you.
Thanks!!!!
thanks！
thank u soo much
what is the name of the song
I need to change a cartridge in my faucet but, the shut off valve under the sink is broken and no longer closes. The problem...it's the hot water. If I shut off the main water supply, it(theoretically) will stop the water but, what about the water in the hot water tank? Does it need to be entirely emptied in order to safely pull off that valve for replacement?
No...turn off main & all water will stop flowing, just bleed the lines by turning on a faucet or hose bib...or both..then do your replacement ;-)
Thanks for the info. Both faucets need a new cartridge. One more question: I have the old crystal (plastic) delta knobs..do they sell replacement knobs? More specifically, the handle type rather than the doorknob type.
You can check Home Depot, they carry some retrofit knobs...or call Delta
In the beginning of the video you said you have to cut the copper pipe
I always seem to seem to screw up the ring by tightening them too far.
💯
What is the tune that starts at about 4:30?
I can't find the water values under the sink. It's a very old house. Please help.
LOL ! How would I know where they are....
SOMETIMES on REALLY OLD homes there was no valve, it's a direct line.
I have valves in my bathroom sink, but not in kitchen sink. Dishwasher supply line in crawl space did not have a valve. I soldered a ball valve for that line. Upgrade for hose and clamp. House built in 1969
thought you were the tile guy
I did plumbing, electrical HVAC long before I ever touched one tile...going back to mid 80's
So you've been doing these since the late 80's. Why don't you have a stop wrench set?
Because plumbing is not ALL I do...to have all the best tools of every aspect of my knowledge would require 2 garage full of tools.
i quarter turned these and it didnt shut off the waater.
I just have water leak after turning cold water off in bathroom sink
