I just love your videos, you speak at a nice pace making it easy to understand. When I get nervous I repeat your mantra “you can do this”. Your the best:))))
You've been a good source of knowledge for at least two projects now. Thanks a ton!
Thanks so much Leah. I never have had to do this but I know now that if I ever have to I will be able to thanks to you! Thanks for all of the videos you make teaching and showing us how to do things and mostly telling us “we can do this”.
You're very welcome, Becky! And thanks. 🙂
I am so proud of you handy lady ! Thank you very much for sharing. Happy Holidays and Be Safe and Be Happy!
Thanks Leah! I keep buying the wrong type of valve. glad to know there's a threaded version.
You do good work miss Jane
Better You than me ~ Great Job!
This is one you must do perfectly; Nothing worse than plumbing always on That List.
Thank you! Much needed help
Keep up the good work!
Love all your videos Lea.
Thanks! 🙂
Seems easy! Years ago I tried to change out a washer from a very old bathroom sink what mess! The valve was so old and tight that I applied enough pressure that cracked the valve, feeder line and the drain too! The plumber had engineer a solution and I had to get a new sink.
Thanks. You are the best.
You made that look easy, as you always do. Thank you, Leah.
Hi Linda!
That was helpful I have the old thread on valve
TH-cam University with the BEST Instructor “Leah”.
Love her class. I always need to buckle up and know that she is taking me places. Instead of her grading the students we get to grade her and she always passes with flying colors.
Thanks!!
I like pointing where water comes out downwards for flushing into a bucket purposes in future as sediment builds up in the fixtures. 😊
great-job-
GOOD JOB LEAH
thanks, Joe!
Threaded is soo much easier to work with than compression fittings. I believe a ferrule puller should be a must for every house.
Your the best Leah
🙂
Love your video! They are very informative. Question to you, please: this video is exactly my case. I can remove old threaded valve per your instructions. Can it be replaced with 1/4 turn push-on valve? My threaded pipe stick out the wall about 2”. Thank you in advance!
love those 1/4 valves! have had a few of the older style handles break right off and spray water everywhere!
Jonny DIY I prefer the multi turn and I'll tell you why. if you go full bore into a bathroom sink, the over flow may not handle it. kids leave the sink on and the over flow can't handle and you go out to dinner, when you get back it's a catatrophe. the multi turn allow you to throttle down if need be. do a test to find the sweet spot. if the sink is left on by accident, no harm done. and BTW, same for toilet. in case of float failure you better make sure that little center over flow pipe can handle the load. easy to throttle down with a multiturn.
Vincent Herman you could just turn the whole house water pressure low. Then your tub, your kitchen sink, your shower, your washer, your sprinkler won't overflow on accident. Ok I know I am being snarky, but you can turn the 1/4 turn valve to just the flow you like and then take the handle off. To quote my favorite sage, easy peasy lemon squeezy (9 year old grand daughter on a math test answer).
rlund3 the mechanics of a 1/4 turn are like a ball valve and should not be throttled down like you would with a multiturn valve that can release the pressure based on how far the gasket is seated in/out.
mixwell 1983 that is interesting.
The plumber that did my house used the cheapest multi turn valves available, and they all started leaking on their own, and when I tried to shut them off, the plastic fractured each time. I replaced them all with the ball valve types, far more reliable.
This video help[ed me a whole lot....Thank You...
you're very welcome!
Leah, first I like to let you know how much your loved🌻 I’d like to know if I can run washing machine hot/cold and drain hoses behind my stove. Thank you
Thank you so much for this video. Is there such a thing as “too tight” when I tighten my valves in place?
Can you do this change if the pipe is soldered, rather than threaded?
Yes I can. Lia, When I have a 5/8 copper pipe with a thread, what valve size do I have to buy that goes to the toilet? Thank you.
You must be psychic. I need to change the water line on my toilet but was nervous. I got this.
Hi Tasha, in the event that your water shut-off valve is not the threaded type, here is another vid we did on how to install water supply valves: th-cam.com/video/HeEORnczD3s/w-d-xo.html
Yea I almost got myself in trouble. The kind of pipe you have is very important and changes everything. I watched the one on copper pipes and got what I needed and was ready to cut that old schiznet off there and start fresh....luckily I called a friend before I started. He saw pictures and explained that I have these steel pipes and would be very sad if I cut them.
Is 1/2” the standard size for the pipe coming out from the wall?
Is it bad if the outlet of the valve is pointing sideways or down in terms of collecting sediment?
Just like mine. At first I didn't think I could tighten the valve to the wall pipe that much.
Wow, you're left-handed like me! Cool! In this video there were threads avalaible to screw on the new valve. But what if there are no threads and you have to cut the pipe? In that case, what's your opinion of the shark-bite valve, which allows a valve replacement without any soldering?
DrZaius I'm not a pro, but sharkbites installed properly are great. I've used dozens of them and had nothing but good luck
I like Sharkbite, and they are very easy to install. But, they are pricey.
Thank you so much! I have to replace a shut off on my toilet. Then it’s on to the hot and cold shut offs under the sink. 🤯
Never heard “escutcheon” pronounced like that. Sounds more accurate though 😁
Just wondering if your new valve,has an internal washer to seal against the thread,its just that i was told to use the tape around the thread aprox 6 turns.,thanks love your video,s
quarter turn valves have a gate instead of a rubber washer
Is it possible to over tighten?
Great video. Thanks! Curious if there should be any concern with possibility of creating leaks behind the wall when applying leverage/movement to the stem?
Possible! Depends on what type pipe you have. Steel, copper, pvc, cpvc or PEX.
My concern as well. If there’s room to grab the pipe and the valve, the actual pipe should not turn.
YES! I had it happen to me on a valve that would not come off. Thus, I always get a grip on the pipe.
Someone used threaded pipe on my toilet supply line and I am trying to figure out how to get the shutoff valve off of the threaded pipe. I'm afraid I will unscrew the other end of the pipe behind the wall or move it so much that it breaks something off on the PVC side that it connects to. Murphy's law is in full effect. LOL.
Another great video, Leah. I need to change my toilet shut off valve. You’ve given me the kick in the pants I needed!
Hi Sophie, if your valve isn't threaded, we have another video that walks you through the replacement process step by step. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/HeEORnczD3s/w-d-xo.html
Have plumbing issue maybe you can address or give advice. After flushing toilet and tank is full, there is small stream of water still going into bowl. Would a new flapper help? I need help. Thanks.
Hi Pat, it could be that the flapper needs to be replaced. Or it could be that mineral deposits have formed around the flush valve, preventing the flapper from seating tightly. We have two different videos that address how to fix each of these issues. Here are the links: Fix a Running Toilet with No Tools needed th-cam.com/video/jh4M5tuahwM/w-d-xo.html And, Fix a Leaking Water Flapper to Save Money on Water Bill th-cam.com/video/BSO_yBm2sfg/w-d-xo.html
Should pipe joint compound or white plumber tape be used on 3/8” outlet thread, please? Thank you
You know what? We are going to do a video to answer your question! Keep an eye out for it.
@@grezikpainting Hello Josh, I answered the question by making a video which explained it in visual detail...videos are what I do. I expanded the question by explaining when to use tape, sealant and when not to use either.
Are the galvanized pipes for shut offs all the same size?What size is a basic shut off for galvanized pipes?
The pipe nipple looks brass instead of galvanized, which is not good to water. The size if either 3/8 or 1/2 for most bath room supply.
I love how you do things easy to understand but what do you do when the in coming pipe is to small to replace a new Valve that don't fit the pipe ?
Team southpaw. Does that write in the rain notebook help prevent the lefty smudge as well?
BassMonsterTiff used to hate that in school writing an essay and having ink all over the side of my hand. Lefty problems.
As a matter of fact, yes, the rite in the rain notebook is great for fixing that problem!!
That would be such a drag as I like using fountain pens. My friend refuses to use mine because of that,
I have a question. I have a 3/4" threaded iron pipe under my sink. I am having difficulty finding valve adapter that attaches to that size. They are all 1/2" everywhere I look. Is it possible to use an adapter 3/4" to 1/2" and then attach the 1/4 turn valve?
I think it might be better to get stainless 3/4 to 1/2 converter since stainless is inert and will help with corrosion caused by connecting different metals (steel and brass). Try search 3/4 to 1/2 stainless female Reducer NPT adapter.
When you use pipe wrench to remove old valve aren’t you also loosening the iron pipe stem at the same time?
You darn well might. In this video, the valve just unscrews nice and easy, but if it's been on there for years (most likely), they can be very tight. If you don't put a pipe wrench on that pipe coming out of the wall to keep it from turning when you try to unscrew the valve, the whole pipe might turn in the wall.
The nipple looks brass. Iron is not good material for water supply to batch room and will cause corrosion issue when connecting to brass vavlve.
You should make a video on “how to stop condensation on toilet tanks”.
Hector Garcia-Martinez Lower your bathroom humidity with an exhaust fan
I did this today. Used Teflon tape, and it leaks at the connection to the threaded pipe. I wrapped the Teflon tape 5 or 6 times. I tried getting it a little tighter, now. Loosened a but, nope, leaks more. Tightened again, it's even leaking a bit and the valve is turned off. I just did the bathroom faucet, no leaks. This shut off valve is not my friend today.
Maybe I can get some guidance here. I pulled water supply valves thinking that the wall pipe fitting (threaded chrome nipple) was 1/2”. Wrong. They must be 3/8”.? However, I can’t find 3/8” threaded fitting with a 1/4 turn and dual 3/8 x 3/*8 compression outlets to supply two sinks. Does such an valve exist or should I be looking at some other type of 1/2”female threaded fitting for this type of pipe.
You can get 3/8 in quarter turn from home good store like HD or Lowes. Not as popular as 1/2 inch but still there are 1 or 2 models.
I still can't get my new shut off valve to stop leaking. ☹
I like to purge the air out of the system and then look for leaks.
what about compression? been putting that of for awhile lol
We've done that one! Here is the link to the vid: th-cam.com/video/HeEORnczD3s/w-d-xo.html
Is that copper threads?
I was trying to reinstall the threaded shut-off valve but could not remove the old one. I guess the person who installed this used some thread compound. I tried to apply PB Blaster and WD40 - nothing worked....it's not even moving. Besides the valve is attached to threaded copper 1/2 " fitting so I have to use two wrenches . I don't now who does such things nowadays...
Not sure if this is solve but one possibility is try to remove the threaded brass nipple and install new brass nipple together with new valve. BTW, nipple MIP nipple should be brass since copper is too soft.
why no pipe dope on 2nd threaded joint?
on the flex line you mean ? If so, it has a rubber o ring in it that seals it to the new valve, well a rubber seal in the top of the threaded part that seals it.
Thank you, warren michael, for answering Donald's question. You are absolutely right!
love your channel. I am what some people would call a jack of all trades. I know a little plumbing, electrical and decent at building stuff. I say this because even though i know most of what you are showing and teaching, you are fun to watch and show people how easy these tasks can be for ANYONE to do. I know you help tons of DIY people realize THEY CAN TOO !!
Are all valves threaded? how did you know yours was threaded before you took it off?
Not all valves are threaded. As to how I knew it was threaded, well, there was no compression nut, so I knew it wasn't a compression valve. And it didn't have the telltale signs of a valve that had been sweated on.
Oh ok thank you.
I had no idea that the flange piece was called a "Squitchen"? LOL
While you had that off you should have replaced the old wall flange
can I be your apprentice, or adopted son love your videos : )
🙂
my Shark-Bite brand threaded-pipe 1/4 turn shutoff valve has a small 'compression ring' in the flexible line connector at the top if the valve. Your video does not mention any compression ring... Replacing the steel mesh flexible water lines that go to hot or cold faucet s a good idea.... those do not las t along time (maybe 10 years) and install them carefully as shown in another vid. Do NOT twist the tubing as the nut is tightened or it will leak....
Just upsetting that some homes like mine have no valves just soldered on pipes that are threaded for the supply line.
You know what? You can still add them. I have had to do this before. Let me know if you have any questions about it.
Call a real plumber 😂
So wouldn’t Teflon tape do the trick ?
Ok this is actually easier than copper pipe
The nipple looks brass NIP. With copper compression joint is best for DIY.
Those valves are not hard to replace and I have had to do it at my mother's house when she was alive. It took me about 30 minutes and I am an amateur at this. I guess that the professionals could do it in half that time and have the area ready to go.
It's just I'm scared of possibly breaking the pipe internally
If that's a concern, use 2 pipe wrenches. One on the pipe coming out of the wall to stabilize it and the second on the shut off valve to remove the valve.
There's an old trick to keep the pipe from slow dripping after you remove the valve. You stuff bread into the pipe. It will soak up the water while you're working on the valve. When you turn the water back on, water pressure pulverizes the bread and it comes right out. I wouldn't put the faucet screen on until after running the water. Plumbing is not my favorite thing to do. I just replaced the bathroom faucet in an rv. Working on a plumbing fixture is hard enough, doing it in an even more confined space is even less fun.
I forgot about the bread trick, thanks for reminding me and sharing that trick with others. That would makes a good video when sweating pipe.
I usually just anticipate the water dripping and get a can or some other suitable container to catch the water when the valve is removed, so it doesn't get everything in the cabinet soaked. The other thing to do in advance of removing the valve is to open all the other water faucets to drain any columns of water left in the system.
If you're working on a lower level faucet and you don't do this, there will be a large amount of water from the pipes above if you don't provide an air break first after shutting off the water main.
use both y. tape and pipe dppe
