Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you Steve! Thank you for providing a break to us all of education and funny videos from a really crappy year. All the best to everyone for 2021!
We had the pressure control fail at my apartment complex a couple years back. They replaced a section of leaking water main and the sediment it kicked up busted the control system. Maintenance said 4 water heaters blew out immediately, then a couple more every day after until they got it fixed. Blew my faucet mounted water filter to bits (spraying out the seams) and the toilet would splash up the side and out from under the lid when filling. Pipe in the stairwell with a pressure gauge on it was reading around 150. Showers were glorious though, and the top load washer filled in just over a minute, and I'm on the top floor at the end of the run!
Wow! My secret to a good flowing shower has nothing to do with changing my water pressure and causing problems. I go and get the el cheapo, all metal shower head from Home Depot. Take the head off the ball part and drill out the ball part a bit (it's chrome plated brass). Beautiful flow and it doesn't clog up
@@FixIt1975 I bought a double head one off Amazon with no flow restrictor in it. I think all the ones sold in stores have to be low flow in some capacity. Pretty sure this one would get you shot in CA. With the high pressure the drain could hardly keep up with the flow.
Just a matter of time before something gives way and floods the house with that 110PSI. Modern, crappy, plastics and rubberized hoses are not designed for such static pressure. With such static pressure whenever you get any sort of, even mild, hammer the pressure spikes to crazy numbers.
I just had this same problem. The fill line was leaking at both ends. The fill shut off valve would leak once it was moved to off or open! Went to house main gate valve to shut off. It started to leak when I closed it. Had city cut off water at the meter and called my plumber. New valves. Main is proper ball valve now. New toilet shut off valve, new flex line and fill valve. Decided to get a new toilet 🚽 and get the o-ring replaced. The floor settling probably caused my solid fill line issues and I didn’t trust my old wax ring anymore either. Simple leaks get expensive fast.
What happens with those solid toilet supply lines is people cut them just to fit, and then they put pressure up on the fill valve and the actual inlet pipe and valve, and it ends up leaking, we actually had no locking nut on the upstairs toilet fill valve in the old house, the shut off didnt work, the toilet became loose and would literally push the fill valve up and let the water leak, the leaking was worst when you'd sit on it, but the downstairs toilet was also faulty it would always run, bought 1 new fill valve, 2 flexible supplies, and 2 flappers, did the downstairs toilet first and then went upstairs and put the nut from the old downstairs one on the upstairs toilet fill valve, installed a new flexible supply line and it was good to go, never had another issue, for 4 years, haven't seen the new owners that bought the house in october replace toilets yet so my guess is they're still good to go.
well you cant warranty any of the stuff you put in, the supply likes are only rated for Like 80 pounds, if he wants a floor he can warranty that, not you
Steve is working again ya’ll! I’m glad you posted a video on Christmas Day. I was bored and needed something to watch on TH-cam.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you Steve! Thank you for providing a break to us all of education and funny videos from a really crappy year. All the best to everyone for 2021!

That was a nice and clean toilet job Steve. Too bad they all aren`t that pleasant...
Merry Christmas Steve
Merry Christmas Steve stay warm
I just did the same for my snowbird neighbors...Christmas gift
Thanks!
Yes the good old days, when a service plumber was required to make his own supply lines to fit...
Yeah and it was a brass ballcock shank and brass 7/8 nut
He better hope he never gets a leak. It will be the fire sprinkler system in ever room. Oh yea mama.
MerryChristmas 🎄Steve
I like Molly's jacket:)
wonder if Steve prefers working on oil burners rather than shitters
MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL STEVEN like your patent-pending catch-all pan
With your hand? With or without gloves? LOL! Hope you had a Merry Christmas!
Great job and video like always

Happy Christmas, Steve - from the UK!

"She's a leaker" lol
Fixing that leaka mama
Merry Christmas y'all
The lady was wanting to drop a fritz could have did a live shitter cam Christmas Special lol.
I just put one of those brass craft fill valves in my toilet
Love the shittercam
Geez 💯 psi! A guy would get his skin torn off in the shower 🚿...
He likes the pressure, till he has to start replacing water heaters, piping and taps every second year, then he will want the valve in.
