- First fixing a shower valve, pipes bend into position while still being in place using the monument pipe bender!
Using press on this shower to reduce blocking the internals of the valve with flux and solder.
Asmr plumbing sounds fitting and plumbing up a shower using a novo press gun
Ever notice how the proper tools make you want to do a proper job? Love tools like this because it's so satisfying to use them.
Yeah you love tools until you ring them up

Igual a mí... Quiero tenerlas todas las herramientas.!!
They only work on very light metal like copper
@@JasonJensenAfor real just had a chainsaw go down on me friggin $1400 for a new one lol.
No stupid Hacks, proper tool use,
10/10. There you go.
Underrated comment.

I'm sure he'd find a way to deduct those same 10 points.
@@lonnellwestbrooks2147 agreed
I found it! They said it didn't exist, but I never lost hope! This is it, the mythical plumbing video where people actually think it's a job well done, and the comments haven't descended into a dumpster fire. I've finally finished the internet.
Haha thought the same! Came to see “ok what’d this guy do wrong…” and was pleased to see nothing!
It's just a break in the matrix. The programmers are working hard on it now. Someone will be fired over this screw up, I promise you.
@@o0o_OutCast_o0o Well, at least someone's getting fired!
Welcome, traveler. Rest your feet, you have a long journey.
Impossible!
I need these benders in my life.
Now there's a sentence I never thought I'd say 😂
Hahahaha I got 2 🤣🤣
Could you please share the link for this bender. Thanks

@@TheFlamez111I hear William Wragg MP found his on Grindr!
What brand of this copper bender?
Whoever trained this plumber, they should commended, for you see his dedication to the trade.
It could just be dad, mom, and the internet
He didn’t use any teflon tape and only put thread sealant on one side of the threads
@@six0two824is that code?
Appreciate it man 🫡🫡🫡
Copper? Must be rich!
That tool changes the whole plumbing industry!!
I'm not a plumber but I've NEVER seen plumbers use this and I've worked on residential and commercial jobs. I didn't think this even existed.
Love it when actual professionals do their work instead of stupid hacks, 10/10 dude!
Haha cheers dude 🤣👏
@@mmplumberdo you have a video of how you got the marks in the right places to do the bends?
As a retired inspector, I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to see a true craftsman do his job well. I used to get so sick of plumbers who used a hammer and screwdriver as a drill or sawzall; or when you’d walk into the rough in and the diverter would be two different lengths of copper, crooked as hell, and not centered over the turn even remotely. Ugh. Same with an electrical panel that looked like spaghetti.
Bet they were mexicans
@@josueibanez9190 well…. I was trying to be more subtle about it, but…… 😉😆
Been on some bad jobs you lad. Dough must have been hard to come by to suffer such shoddery
Подскажите пожалуйста, почему трубы именно из меди ?
I've did the best with what I had to work with. If it doesn't make him happy, I would try again. As long as the water lines and gas lines don't leak, and have easy access to repair what difference does it make?
That bent copper looks amazing. Love seeing those sweeps instead of a soldered elbow.
Bent elbow does reduce the circumference of the pipe, reducing flow. Soldered elbow allows for a consistent circumference.
@@justtestingonce but a regular elbow has greater flow resistance due to the tighter corner. Fluid dynamics.
@@justtestingonceyou’re wrong
@@alexjohnson6710 lol, you haven’t got a clue, it’s pure stupidity to argue that the circumference is not reduced. There’s a reason why we don’t go crazy bending pipes and instead will use an elbow of varying degrees.
@justtestingonce long radius bends have less restriction of flow than a tight radius elbow. But yes, the bent pipe is flattened unless you fill it with sand or use a mandrel bender.
❤❤❤ Impressive workmanship! 👍
Saving so much $$$ in fittings and time !!!!!
When you've got the right tools for the job, things come together splendidly... especially when you know how to use them...
Me disseram uma vez:
"A ferramenta certa faz metade do trabalho. A outra metade é do seu conhecimento."
Lots of skill to use pro press lol
@@Middleton119yet you probably struggle using the pencil…. 🤡
Yea watching a man bend pipe with his bare hands does something strange to me ngl. Gives me mad wood
@@Middleton119 it is a precision tool. In his hands is his weapon. Ngl makes me feel a special kind of way
First time am seeing something interesting about plumbing! 👍🏽
Thanks dude glad you liked it
Nice combo thermostatic/volume control valve!

This plumbing system is great!! I love it!!
The Milwaukee pro press is the best invention ever made. Makes the job much faster 😀
We use one and the only thing i don't like about it compared to the rigid, is the clicking noise it makes once its fully completed the crimp, the Milwaukee does not make any noise.
Didn't know there was a new way to join copper pipes
@@Joseph-xt2qg it's nice. We can't use it on every job but more jobs are adopting them.
Only problem with crimped fittings is if you make a mistake you have to restart from scratch
I do agree mate defo the future
Making the sparkies a little jealous with those pipe bending skills lol
What brand are those benders?
Not really, need a lot more leverage and bend radius for steel conduit
You would not.bend steelconduit with a bender that small
That pipe bender is a lot more practical than anything I've seen on this side of the pond
Because making 90’s are so hard
If it's inside a wall, solder those joints! 10/10 on the bending.
Wow, the bends are nice. But that looks way more fun than soldering, hehe.
I love watching professionals work.
Really appreciate it dude
Dope on a flare is weird.
Yeah right?
Bending the soft copper looks so nuch cleaner. Im a plumber in America, i know for a fact this is in another country, we use propress fittings out here, but the method is the same, also i dont think ive ever seen a shower valve set up with compression fittings built in. Good clean work, plumb on
It's not soft copper
It's R250 half hard
That’s type L
Type soft
electricians the only ones bending pipes in USA
Amazing work and years of experience ❤❤
Thanks mate!
Professional...and works perfectly
Got pipe dope on my shirt, pants, fridge, and my phone screen just watching this.... 😬
I was about to say the same thing. 😂
Glad I wasn't the only one. Seems silly to use it on the threads of a compression union unless it's as anti seize, could have at least cleaned up the over jizz
IS THAT A FUCKING ATOMSHIP PFP
@@choose282 hey momma... Can't you see I'm fuckn cooking? And he said... All my friends bloating and floating away.
😂just like duct sealer
We’re not allowed to bend Type L copper over here in the states, unfortunately. Soft copper tubing only. I’m sure you could get away with it in a residential application.
European copper is almost always annealed. It's semi-soft and bends without crinkling.
That can’t be type L if it bends. Or am I crazy?
Silly people,
Type L copper comes in hard or soft. L is a thickness, it has no indication of hard or soft.
I prefer using the thicker Type K, that also comes in hard or soft.
Man sad
Man see satisfying pipe work
Man happy
too see new plumbing with copper is a rare treat from what been seeing
"That fancy compression fittin' ain't gon' last."
-some oldtimer... probably
The rubber inside carries a 25 yr guarantee,so you're 100% correct
Funny you should say that.. how does it mate onto a clean surface and not leak ? Copper is soft..
@@markkennard861 - annealed copper is soft. Those fittings are actually pretty stiff. There's a gasket inside the raised channel you see after the compression tool tightens it down. It's a considerably tight fit all around.
Water wins vs plastic and rubber every time, just a matter of when.
@@alexandercampbell6034so not long before you pay off the house you need a remodel, go figure 😂
Bro your work is very clean and top notch. Hope you are being compensated well.
hay i think i saw a leak😢
Not very clean. See how the paste was applied and it was either excessive or not enough.
Don’t worry about me my friend, I’ll keep posting and hope you still watch 👊🫡
@@andyn5912not enough 🤣
Not really. He brnd it too much.
Plumber like you still give me hope
A lot of people in the other trades so often downplay what our plumbers do. As a licensed general contractor and carpenter by trade, I think the plumbing trade is fascinating. Imagine if we didn’t have them..
He just called me shitty at my job in 12 different languages. Kudos to you brotha. Now I gotta buy a pro press
Haha 🤣🤣👍
Look out for variations is see this machine toll are quite big 😅 and for 100% license plumber in my country you will need a certificate for that and normally cost 1/2 the machine frost can also be a problem and of course you can break it to 😂 I have tried that and each toll head cost a lot to 12-15-18-22-28-35 and more up and different companies means you don’t sleep when you order press fittings and big tubes need electric machine good luck also for thieves 😮
Them mini benders will do you right!
Make the pipes in the basement look like a work of art
😂😂
@peterking3186 what in the meth?
Love the paste on one side of the fitting on the top of the olive 😂😂
Got to make those threads watertight!
It all spins about with the nut 🤙
Lubricant .brass threads bind easily.
If the threads bind it's because you bought a cheap shit fitting and/or the pipe ain't straight going into it. That joint regardless of how easy it was to do up and maybe undo one day will definitly at some point leak especially the hot one. Good luck with that repeat business side
@@MarkWiseman1😂
i have minimal plumbing knowledge but this looks CLEAN. good stuff
Finally satisfying diy video that actually works!
Are those crimping joints strong enough? I thought solder would be better?
Siglo XXI amigo, hasta cañerías de inoxidable se indentan con pinzas hidráulicas...👍🏼🇦🇷
It’s surprising how well the pressed fittings work - strong and don’t leak if u use same diligence as soldering.
The one thing that no one want to talk about is the o-ring. We're all used to things that last, but in general, the things that don't last are plastics and rubber. You might find a barn kept classic car that hasn't been started in 40 years. Replace the oil, the fluids, and all the rubber parts and it will likely be as good as the day it was parked. Ever seen the old Barbies and other plastic toys still sealed in the box, but molten to a sticky goo by the plastic degrading? My point is this, a soldered joint will last until the pipes themselves fail, the pro-press junk is rated for 50 years. And that's if a good company is making the proper o-rings, and not some cheap knock-off. My opinion is, 30 years from now there will be a class action lawsuit against the pro-press system.
Solder all day long done right it cannot leak. No risk of fire tho.......especially with the totally combustible itchy shit lagging they still sell 😂😂😂
O-Rings have an expiration date, depending on the environment, they could actually make it, maybe...
Looks so freaking good, great job man!
Thanks mate I like to try do the best I can
Watch the full vid 💪
Press fittings expenses
Love these videos, learning something new everytime . Thank you
I’m really glad you like them bud
The pro press is the best tool you could ever buy if you’re a plumber/hvac
The difference between me and a plumber is his tools.
Marking out the bends is actually the difficult bit
I dunno, a lot of people own hammers. But very few are carpenters and some can't even hit a nail on the head, hehe.
A long format video discussing the purpose of each fitting, as well as the reasoning behind why you chose each fitting would be good useful information.
I would appreciate a long form video about the purpose of your comment, go to school man lol.
@@foggynight school is a scam. This is the information age. We learn by going to TH-cam and watching a tutorial.
Эх! всё горит в руках у мастера!!👌👍💥
Красота, руки чешутся что-нибудь такое сделать,это же творчество
I absolutely love work. I can watch people work for hours on end 😊
You must be a supervisor :D
Now that is the work of a Real plumber!
Thanks mate!
I do not do any plumbing, but I am going to get the bender :-))
Hahahaha treat yourself!
Some places copper is more prevelant in plumbing and some other places PVC and UPVC are more common .
I love how this new technology doesn't require brazzing the pipes. I did pipe fiiting for a year and can only imagine the damage i did to my lungs from inhaling flux fumes.
Siento ser yo quien diga q curvar tubo es debilitar su pared y por ende preparar el camino para el fallo o desgaste en la zona curvada. cuando se diseña la tubería en un espesor de pared de cobre determinado, debe de respetarse la calidad de su fabricación en todo momento. La normativa nos impidió este sistema hace ya bastantes años por lo menos en España. Recuerdo un jefe de obra q m hizo desmantelar todas las curvas de más de 20 viviendas!! Ya terminadas y probadas...
Es más adecuada la utilización de accesorios de curvas y/o codos, por muy atractivo y rápido q parezca las herramientas para curvar, ya q mi experiencia de más de 40 años me dice q incluso se tarda menos con codos, si bien se ahorra en accesorios, ya sea soldando o con prensa y juntas tóricas. No obstante decir q el fontanero es habilidoso y posee grandes herramientas... Aunque me gustaría que viera mi taller jjjjj un saludo!
In Italia,da almeno 10 anni , nessun idraulico usa più i tubi di rame, nel corso degli anni si possono formare dei micro fori con perdite di acqua,Immagina ,per la riparazione,di dover spaccare tutto il pavimento...Si usano comunemente tubi di alluminio ricoperti di materie plastiche fuori e dentro il tubo . Questo per evitare i danni delle correnti galvaniche disperse.
Exceptionally superior residential home plumbing!
Saber trabalhar com as ferramentas certas e ser um bom profissional está cada vez mais difícil. Parabéns 👏
Beautiful. Double 90s on one side. Field offset to the other. Couldn’t have been done better.
Love seeing the joker wrench in action 👌
It’s nice feedback on the wrench
Bro, these "do it right videos" are beyond satisfying. That shit makes me feel proud that I'm a man of he same caliber. God bless you, brother.
Love the dope application...
Thanks pal
the work is beautiful and better with the right tools!
It's actually a lot harder than it looks. The math required just for the offset makes this man a plumbing god
🤣hehe cheers dude
No harder than bending electrical conduit
Seems almost like NO OTHER plumber in the world could do this.
Yes but Short runtime 😅
Lol he didn't use any math on this one.
Showed skilles bending the pipe, but not after you used propress fittings when had plenty of room to sweat the copper since mixing valve has a union on it. Comment from a union pipefitter
🙄
Union plumbers are trash, and lazy.
Just imagine being in the plumbing trade for years and then something like this Milwaukee cordless press tool comes along. Obviously it cant be used for every job, but man this thing seems like a game changer
there's something so beautiful about fresh copper pipes
Never use pro press behind a wall. Solder and clean off the extra Flux when done.
I’ve never used a pro press because I’m old. Are the fittings prone to leakage? I’m inclined to agree with you as pro press; if I’m not mistaken, relies on an o- ring for its seal. That and shark bites I’m guessing will have huge ramifications per leakage. Guys bury these all the time. I’m retired, so whatever. 🤣
@@johnbagewll2321 viega pro press was used in my house in the early 2000s and it's doing great to this day, not a single drop of water has leaked.
@@johnbagewll2321The elastomer seals never last as long as the manufacturers claim. This is the same reason why many industries will prefer Greyloc couplings over Victaulic-style ones. Metal-to-metal is the ultimate seal.
This. Pro press should only be used in accessible locations. It may be 15-20 years from now but those rubber seals will leak. When one leaks the others aren't far off. Will be stressful for the homeowner
@@ariso I agree.
You should do a tutorial video on how you know where to bend the pipes to get it to where you need it.
Amigo esto es muy CENSILLO. En una hoja de papel o una tabla puedes trasar como bas a colocar las pipes o tubos y así los doblas. Yo no soy plomero profesional pero hago muchos diferentes trabajos nada es difisil parami.
You just "see" where to bend with a bit of practice.
@@Brayanzabaleta buenisima idea!!!!!
Sharkbites/push connects has change the game for good and bad. Easy to install piping but it also birthed a lot of self proclaimed plumbers.
That is a handyman's pipe dream
Best plumber I've seen imo
Too kind mate thank you!
Full vid out bro
I live in the USA, I bought a pro-press and I normally use hard copper. Could I also use soft copper? I love how plumbers in Europe use soft copper and bend the copper instead of using fittings, looks good 👍
You are not suppose to use progress on soft copper
You are allowed to use it on a soft copper pipe.
Btw in Europe, they mostly use multi-layer pipes these days.
Copper is way too expensive.
@Mvp76 here in Hawaii it's not allowed
Beyond satisfying to watch
I love long radius elbows. Always glad to see them.
Hi ! The copper tubing is already thin enough. When you bend the copper tubing you're taking 20% out of the wall thickness of the tubing at least !
Bent copper is far more reliable than a fitting will ever be.
Yet thousands of bends in soft copper exist all over the world without any issues...
@@timsyoutube6051I call BS on this claim .
@@niniv2706 how would you know? Clearly you're an American talking the way you do and you guys don't bend copper so you wouldn't have a clue about it.
It's common sense really. How can a solid copper pipe wall be more likely to fail than a fitting with solder holding it together?
@@timsyoutube6051 - You got me wrong here ...I amended my original comment after taking in the various ways of bending with diff thickness of copper and malleability ... I agree with you . I am a farmer and do minimal welding jobs on copper ... I have transitioned mostly to Pex for house plumbing . Easier and enough for my skills . Tim ...No hard feelings ... Take care buddy .
I wish they had those benders and pro press when I was plumbing. What a dream! . . . No more scorch marks on the framing.
Не робота, а пісня! Ми ще до такого не доросли!
There is something called a soldering mat 😂
No se por que, pero me da una satisfacción ver estos videos....
Just seeing all these bends and no elbows to be soldered is a feast for the eyes
No point of that paste like that needs to be on the fitting side of the olive including the pipe or what is going to seal
Some people claim that it helps to lubricate the threads, but I am not a big fan of it.
Ah so at some point when it definitly leaks it's easy to undo so you can paste it properly. Makes sense
I like your mini benders.
Very handy
I bought one as well, beautiful
Yeah it’s great to fit in places or keep in your solder bag etc
Link please
When you have all the right tools it makes the job so much easier
I know very little about proper plumbing, but if I did that, I would sit and drink a beer watching my work after I was done for sure.
Thanks, pex, for making life easier.
With the contaminants that they say pex put in your water drinking from them every day might not be the healthiest for your family!!!!!
If your water survives the piping it took to get you your tap, I doubt 20ft-40ft of PEX is going to be the catalyst of your demise lmao
@stephenburleigh7746 thanks for your priceless words of wisdom. I wouldn't have been able to go on in life without them.
@@kayvan1225thanks.. where'd you get your PHD?
I like your video. Where can I find this pipe Bender.
I really wish I could plumb my whole house in 3/4 when we renovate. Our well pump can easily handle the demand and I would love the shower pressure.
Best plumbing job I've seen
PERFECTO TRABAJO, DIOS LOS BENDIGA
Thank you!
I had to rewind to watch that self gripping wrench!?!?!? I need one!!
Haha wera xl pal
Having the proper tools makes everything that much easier. 👍🏻
Incredible how plumbing has moved on from a set of ‘Footy’s’ … a bending spring ( over your knee cap!!) …’Boss White’ and a blow torch and flux!! 😂😂
Никогда не понимал смысл фитингов с резиновыми уплотнениями для трубопроводов из материалов которые могут служить вечно.

I have never fitted pipes in my life, but after watching this video, i feel like i can be a plumber.
WOW,
you just saved me two fittings.
I still trust sweating the pipes plus if you ever needed to change the fitting for an addition you just hear it up and pull it apart.
All was awesome till you pulled out those damn press fittings
You probably still pour lead joints...
Let me guess, you’re still using threaded brass for water lines?
@MisterTwister88 he must still be using lead water pipe.
Haha come on 🤣

The talent is important, but the right tools are critical. When the plumber told me how much that electric crimper was I damn near fainted! ($3000.00 +!!)
But that job is way easier as a good DIY guy with those tools.
100% easier but same result 😊👌
