Get your tissues ready? Is it naughty?
So where does the pipe you drill out go? It not like a ice maker tsp where it pierced a hole and the pipe just bends in .
I'm loving it 👍
@@CurvedSlightly
Bring your wet weather get and a towel across to the workshop.
Bugger off it's not your birthday.
I hit subscribe just for the laughs after than bloody song ya nutter :D
Nice piece of kit, I think your wife was a real sport, she not only did it, but she did it with a smile. Awesome.
You have excellent fluency and are very comfortable on camera too which makes following all of it so easy. Full marks again.
James, what it is, is that most people can't tie their shoe laces.
I was a plumbing mentor in a college. It showed me that it takes lots of hands on experience and determination to do plumbing. Not everyone made it through.
Don’t I know it! Loads dropped out on my journey.
Thanks Emily for that great demonstration, better than the other one..
Total respect .. to your wife 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂 she rocks !!!!
Could you uninstall it and show how the pipe gets sealed?
You can see what happens inside here: th-cam.com/video/H9JSbIPLffM/w-d-xo.html
It completely cuts the entire pipe away inside and shoves the section it cuts off to the back
I've used these in the past for exactly the scenario you described in the video, seized stopcock, outside stopcock buried under tarmac and a layer of gravel!!😬 Had to remove about 30years worth of gloss paint from the pipe first😤 follow the instructions and you can't go wrong!
@@sonacphotos in the long run this is a more reliable option
@@sonacphotos sure but I already have compression valves but of course they seized. I didn't do the "periodically turn" thing.
@@sonacphotos like Pegler with the lever? I out full bore service valves in but we are hard water and they free shut - more the hit than the cold. But I hear one should leave them not quite open.
Note: You can also use a good socket set to turn the cutting tool instead of a drill .I did. My 15mm copper pipe was in an older house and therefore a thicker gauge I guess .Even my brand new work drill wasn't powerful enough. Really great product this though. Recommended
I ended up handballing installation too 😂. Thankfully it worked 😬.
This has been a great video for me as my isolation tap doesn't shut off completely ! Thank you, and bless your wife what a good sport, and did a great job too.
Thanks for your video. You saved me a plumber call. Thanks again.
What an absolutely brilliant bit of kit. Thanks for the demo - it is much appreciated.
I nearly p**ped myself using this for the very first time yesterday, cutting into a live pipe is scary. Make sure the pipe is secured to the wall allowing you to use some force ie manually, use a professional drill so you don’t get stuck halfway due to lack of power, get the KIT or you’ll find you’re missing loads of adapters… Sadly mine was leaking trough the threads and had to deal with that so have some putty or tape jic. Overall massively impressed and enormously delighted with a great solution and quality product, saved me a massive headache.
Great video James as always,
Hold tight one thing you could go a bit in further detail to what type of pipes you can fit it as copper, lead, galvanized steel so on?
probably just copper and plastic.... oh yeah lead is quite soft too... Iron and steel ? I wouldn't go that far :-) But this thing is quite handy !
That woman truly loves you...
Excellent video
Without doubt the most useful channel on TH-cam
Very nice job! Congrats to both of you guys
Fitted one of these after watching your brilliant video. A fantastic device and your demo made it easier - Thanks
Brilliant ! I can only get my wife to do this when she finds a free moment from watching tv ( if ever ) 🙄, great vid, actually found it entertaining, cheers for this !
Thanks so much I’ve got a stop tap in a property that’s faulty. The main the stop tap in the road has Vanished this is such a cool piece of kit never knew they existed perfect for the job thanks once again great video
Nice clear video, thanks. Looks great, but what happens to the swarf?
Would be cool if you could do a 'Rate My Plumb' series with Pro/DIY jobs up for scrutiny!
I'm thinking this would be great for seized hot water gate valves.
Oh, don't get me started on stuck gate valves... 73 :-)
@@MrSuperheterodyne but if I get you started on your gate valve then it will start working again?
@@stephenhookings1985 No way.... I hate those things. :-D
@2E0PZM - that's what I was thinking for the gate valve on my HW cylinder feed that won't close off 100%. Unfortunately, when the 22mm version was delivered I discovered that the valve base where the compressed pipe gets pushed into is about 2" deep and there's no chance of getting it behind the 22mm pipe because it's fixed (as it should be) with pipe clips to a wooden board in the airing cupboard and there's only about 3/4" - 1" max. space between the pipe and the board.
@@andygillespie2101 common issue. The gate valve stops flow of cold water.into HW cylinder right? Mine is 28mm because it supplies two baths. Given 28mm is less common I got my boiler engineer to fit new one. We have indirect cylinder so I had to shut water off to tank in loft and let water drain down over a few days (ie people having baths and showers) once the upper tank was empty there is still water in cylinder but the gate valve is above this - so he could cut out old valve and fit now one. We looked at old one ... Decent amount of chalk on it :-(. Have to recall to operate valve periodically to reduce chance of it happening again.
Some hot lemon juice cleaned out old valve. I was wondering if there was an acidic chemical (citric acid, vinegar etc) that could be added to tank, heat up and move around hot system - maybe it would free up the other full bore service valves on hot side?
Sorry if what I described isn't your system - but at least it worked for me.
Best of luck solving your stuck gate valve.
What happens to the copper "washer" that is produced as a result of drilling the hole for the valve?
It makes shavings that go down the water line and clogs up the nozzle strainer, take it out and clean it.
@@altyndom7039 the Easyfit cuts a swarfless cut so there are no shavings of pipe. Instead it removes a coupon of pipe which is pushed to the back of the housing .
@@niftylittlebleeder that is brilliant. good product.
where does the copper piece that you drilled go?
It's compressed into a flat slug and retained in the housing on the valve, it's out of the water flow path.
@@JohnSSSSS Thnx, I was about to ask the same question. A very cool invention.
Interesting: Obviously it cuts a hole in the pipe...what happens to the cut piece of copper ?
No hole... It cuts section of pipe out and it gets crushed flat
@@mrthomas394 but it has to go somewhere? Also, if it does cut a section out does that make the valve full bore?
@@kevinjackson5191 there is a chamber on the bottom of the valve were the crushed section of pipe permanently stays thus leaving a full bore valve.... Google the valve and watch the video it explains everything... We use them at our place of work... Fantastic piece of engineering
This video shows it really nicely: th-cam.com/video/MCVQ0HkxNeg/w-d-xo.html
nice bit of kit James, why not film a 22mm one on a bit of cut pipe so we can see through the middle in slow mo .........
Th Fc I thought I was sad, but you just set a new bar ..get a fkn life!✊
would also like to see this.. watch and learn.. :-)
@@billy4072 you're hard. Abusing people in the comments section ain't ya. Jog on if you can't be nice.
I’ve always wondered where the bit of copper goes that it cuts into
That's what I was wondering
Narnia 😉
I have the same question ....🤔 apart from that it is a great and handy item to have it
Well done 👍!
It gets crushed and pressed into the bottom of the main casing.
can't believe you didn't take it off the pipe after to show how it worked! :(
cause it's a cunjuring trick
Its amazing to see how your channel has grown
Emily manages to stop the leak in her own home....effectively...
Still got a massive drip tho ;)
Very harsh🤣😂
HA!
Try it on 60 year old 1/2 inch copper,the drill wouldn’t touch it,had to use a 3/8 square drive and ratchet and only just got it to cut through, easy to fit after that and works really well after my stop tap was blocked by my new gas main being installed right in front of it
God Bless both of you, Very good informative video, I need to put a few of these in my house but unfortunately the pipes are not reachable.
When it cuts into the pipe, does it leave a small disc of copper/plastic in the system? This channel is fantastic. I've learnt so much 🙏
Your wife is a good sport, that would not go over so well with my wife.
going to put on of these on my refrigerator supply line as the plumber that installed it just used one of those cheesy puncture things that has no shut off.
thank you!
This is amazing item. Any idea if this will be sold in US?.
Our water pipes are usually 3/4 inch and 1/2 inch copper.
This would be great to separate water supply into zones so when you need to work on one section, no need to turn off water in whole house.
Hmm. No sure, check Aladdin's site. They've got great aftersales! *Don't miss this week's live stream* bang the notification bell too! th-cam.com/video/TRJJjTkdENw/w-d-xo.html
Brilliant video and a very helpful step by step guide to carry out the task.
All your videos and tips and helps are fantastic and you are doing an amazing production.
Just one question though; what happens to the cutout piece after this kit cuts into the pipe?
It gets squashed at the back in the rear of the valve housing. Glad you like!
No Skulduggery.... which means in layman's terms, underhanded or unscrupulous behaviour or trickery. Great video and I can't wait to use that word. Great video. I hope I can buy these in Canada...
Did this for Fiver 30 years ago, got much more detailed since and mine added a connection for my dishwasher!?!
What's the blue indicator on the socket for? You didn't tell us, please tell us, I'm going out of my mind.
Wicked product though
Probably for the 22mm pipe? I guess you would need to crimp/cut the 22 more than the 15 and they probably only make one socket rather than two.
Just purchased one through your amazon link - this will save me flooding the house!
[edit] purchased, watched the video(twice), read the instructions... damn thing jammed up, couldn’t align the dots and now i’m in deeper than before I started - seems like a good idea, now I wish i’d called a plumber in the beginning - £40 down the drain:(
What about the copper bits from the drilling the copper, wont the bit go into the sink valve and cause damage
How much do they restrict the flow compared to a quarter turn valve
I would hope it would be the same otherwise it is not really a very good product.
The blue and red handle option is really good consideration, but it could be better if you have a scald medication come with the red handle.
Be good if they made one as a tee piece?
Can this be used on pipe that has been painted, or do you need to get back to the bare copper?
WOW! I've never seen this product. What if you already have a STOP Value fitted but it needs replacing?
Great piece of kit, wonder what it would have looked like if you took it off again.
It looks like the second step is drilling a stop into the pipe. If you take it off you have essentially cut out a small section of the pipe out.
Does this work for galvanized or stainless steel pipes?and one of my concerns is where does the offcuts go to?
can it be used to isolate 25mm or 22mm blue poly pipe water main for changing the old main tab?
Is the torque driver and the cordless drill not going to be damaged because of the water? Still a great video.. Thanks. 🍀🇮🇪👍
Nice video of an interesting solution. What a terrific support act!
so what happens to the swarf/blank from drilling the pipe. do`s it go in to your boiler pump?
@Jack Badabing yes the drilling swarf must go somewhere ie; in the pipework
Where does the little bit of the pipe that’s been cut out inside the valve go to ?
Good question.
Stays in the pipe, its crushed towards the baack of the pipe
Fantastic great for the airing cupboard for all those seized valves
where can I buy the shut off valve in the US?
Reminds me of the old outside tap kits you used to get.
Gr8 video.
What should be be done to make sure the lever is in th right position, in line with the pipe when on. ?
Can you adjust the preasure with it, by not turning the lever fully on. ?
Great bit of kit ..sick of being a chippy ..on to plumbing lol
What a brilliant idea
It'd be interesting to see what's happening inside... What's it look like if you take it off again?
It sheers both sides of the pipe and pushes the waste into a cavity, there's images on the web if you Google it.
Splendid, many thanks. Just the job.
Your wife is a good sport, that would not go over so well with my wife.
going to put on of these on my refrigerator supply line as the plumber that installed it just used on of those cheesy puncture things that has no shut off.
thank you!
Where do the drill shaving go? Wouldn’t want them in my water.
Hi James I wanna change my kitchen taps, but there aren’t any isolation valves on the hot and cold. We have a combi boiler. What’s best way?
Great bit of kit and great video. Emily done "2" better than you, she fitted the red hot valve handle whereas you fitted the blue cold to the hot stop position, or is the blue line obsolete?
Sorry for being thick but what happens to the cooper pipe that is removed when the valve is fitted ? By the way all your videos are informative, interesting and down to earth.
Tried one /Leak
Called a professional plumber to fit the second one /Leak
Ended up cutting the live mains and use a pushfit isolator In London it cost me £360
How does it work on plastic pipe you normally have to use ferrules to stop the pipe collapsing l thought it was a great piece of kit will definitely keep one handy
Just use a pex clamp on plastic pipe
I'm waiting for one that can be installed on 25mm blue MDPE service pipe. Fortune to be made with that! Nice tutorial (as usual) Thank you!
Use a squeeze off tool
@@marcusward1130 that's not recommended on older mdpe or black from what many plumbers have told me
I've always been sceptical about this fitting maybe I should just try it
I remember seeing this when it was a prototype. Though it was going to cost a lot but seems to have come a long way and is cheaper then expected.
It's a really good fitting
Same here
Aladdin offer a 10-warranty, there really is nothing to be skeptical about
Blimey mate, you really know how to demonstrate. With all the plumbing stuffed in an airing cupboard is there any way of finding out what goes where? Where are you based sunshine?
It does take a few years to get used to! Based in glorious Cambridge! *Don't miss this week's live stream* bang the notification bell too! th-cam.com/video/TRJJjTkdENw/w-d-xo.html
Well I'm now going to replace my bath after seeing this video.
another well presented video keep them coming !!..would you consider doing a video installing the quooker tap system ..
Could you please do a follow-up video where you remove the "Easy Fit Isolator" after installing it, and show us what it did to the pipe.
Brilliant. Life saver.
Can I use a 15mm one of those on half inch pipe?
If it’s steel barrel then no! Unfortunately. You’ll probably need to find a way to freeze it if your that stuck.
No it's half inch copper pipe
paul1962uk I see. I know it’ll fit round the pipe as there the same size externally apart from a few thousands of an inch but I know the half inch pipe the actual copper is generally quite a bit thicker so in theory it should work but you’ll have a bit of a harder time crushing the pipe. Maybe ask Aladdin if you get no luck on here who’s actually done one on half inch. Sorry couldn’t be more help.
Thanks Matt
Yes they fit 1/2" imperial pipe too.
Is there something similar for galvanized steel pipes? Those are much more difficult to drill through.
I have done loads of work in hospitals, there are more stop valves fitted than hairs on my head. Saddle type fittings are banned in most states in the USA. I would worry about turbulence and what happens to the copper that was cut/crimped? Also is the bore size affected after the device has been fitted? I personally would just freeze the pipe and fit a propper valve that you know you can trust.
Exactly these are such a joke. Where is the deburring? You are simply asking for trouble using this. I feel like they are on the same level as a shark bite. Cool but very temporary.
But you can't freeze pipes with moving water
@@robrocco5420 like what scenarios
do you come across? You will have more problems in the future with the water turbulence you cause, but I suppose that's not your problem then is it! Also remembering this is a 15mm fitting, not some 28mm supply pipe or more, its the end of the line.
@@davewilco822 bathtub faucet is leaking.. main value is just spinning aka broken.. city value is seized..
@@robrocco5420 LOL so make the system worse. Don't you think at some point that system should be addressed starting with the city street tap then the main stop tap or will you just go on forever? But actually, what you have just described is a situation where the main house pipe can be frozen
Well done Emily.. what a sport.
brilliant devise but by making hole in pipe by drilling what happens to the copper debris and filings
I'm guessing it's behind the aerator on the faucet. Could also cause turbulence in copper pipe. Looks to similar to those junky saddle valves. I could only see this being useful in an emergency. Until some proper fixes can be done.
Can you use these on mains water pipe coming from the street?
will this work on water pipe or the copper Galv. that is what i have on my well and i have nno turn off on it
What a brilliant device. Thanks for sharing.
Great Vid.... when lining the red dots, is it important to rotate the shaft only clockwise. Or if your over shoot can you rotate anticlockwise to line the dots..... Is it worth leaving a mm away for the red line when screwing in and driving the rest home by hand so the red dots line up....thanks again :-)
What a brilliant product
What happens to the pieces of metal you drilled into the pipe? Even non-soluble flux circulating in your water pipe will make a pinhole leak somewhere years later. A video of where it goes would be nice.
You get them for outside tap kits, usually, the metal just bends slightly but i have been back to houses where they have installed them and they are rattling around the pipework.twice they have blocked the flow to a tap
th-cam.com/video/MCVQ0HkxNeg/w-d-xo.html
Wow its a great idea. I would be buying one just in case if I ever need one.
This looks like a larger scale version of the devices used to tap a refrigerator's ice maker feed. Every plumber I know says DO NOT use those. I wonder if this is any different. Maybe it's a US vs. UK thing.
I can see if you've got a faulty shut-off and have no other recourse...
Very nice. A bonus would have been to remove it and show what the pipe looks like.
What is the benefit of this valve versus a sharkbite slip on ball valve?
fantastic peace off kit
Does it reduce flow? I need one of them to regulate a heater radiator. I don’t wanna mess up the distribution of hot water in my heating system
Can you take it back off? I would love to see what it has done to the pipe. Also, is there debris in the pipe from drilling that will need a flush through. Even a wee insta pic would be cool
There is no debris left in the pipe as the cut it makes it swarfless.
Hello will this valve work with the old imperial 1/2 inch 15.14mm diameter tube?
Thanks great video, and I like your t-shirt!
These have been out for years. They are great for a quick tap in, just not a permanent fix
The Huge Weak link is the O-ring that clamps the water from leaking. it flattens out and leaks.
Hi C I think you are thinking of something else perhaps the self cutting washing machine tap which seals on the side of the pipe using a gasket. Whereas the EasyFit uses a seal the higher the pressure the more it is forced into place thus preventing leaks. It came out in 2013 after a number of years in development. Hope that helps.
Hey James is there any chance you can do a video on water hammer & Fitting a mini arrester ? Cheers Bud
Great video and well demonstrated, Plus Great tip thanks
Love seeing the notification come up
