It’s also a good idea to replace the toilet supply line as well. They usually have some type of compression O ring or plastic washer that are designed to be tightened once. Also if the supply line has been in place awhile, those seals will harden and not seal well if reused. Cheap insurance.
It’s easy when you have plenty room, it’s like pulling teeth if it’s under kitchen sink with copper too short or behind a toilet seat, with one handed access
Which 4x4 closet model is that? I can’t seem to find it. I have 4 inch abs stub out and I could only find the 4x4 abs that slides Over the Pipe and not inside like the one you’re showing
I really enjoy this person’s videos but I would have done things a bit differently. I wont comment on that because the man is trying to help others. I think. Been plumbing for over 30 years. Fact is , three plumbers couldn’t come up with three different solutions for the same problem. For example, I don’t care for push ( sharkbite ) fittings. Maybe I’m old fashioned. Thanks for the post. Keep it up.
You should share. Those are the best kinds of comments I think, you might help someone down the road, which as a handyman should be something you're used to
It shouldn’t fail if the pipe was prepped properly. I’ve had several last 10 years with no leaks, and they were still working perfectly. I’m not saying I use them exclusively. I like compression valves and PEX valves as well.
I have had them over 15 years with no issues. In Australia (where they were invented duringWW2) and Europe they are used a lot. The key is to prep the pipe and mark the insertion depth to ensure you get it on the pipe the full amount .
I'm remodeling a 40-year old bathroom and discovered a set of what looks like foam tubing-insulated 1/4" pipes next to a set of 3/4" copper pipes. Why would they have installed both?
What is the difference between a shark bite valve and a compression valve? They both look exactly the same in your video but it seems that they are different to you. I’m not sure what to do now. I don’t think I have a shark bite valve (though I don’t really know what that is either).
With shark bite you just slide the valve onto the pipe and it basically locks itself on water tight. Compression valves get tightened on with a wrench. I would trust compression more but I have heard shark bite works great.
It will flush if there’s water running from the valve to the tank. If your toilet doesn’t flush properly, it’s likely a fill valve problem, venting problem, or obstruction.
amazing. thank you
Love it!! I have a few i have to replace so this is perfect!
You’ll rock it out buddy 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Great video👍
Thank you 🙏
I needed a series of bowls to drain the water from the line... seems it’s the lowest point in my house.
Thank you.
That a giant watch!
Muy bueno tu video, bien explicado
Gracias 🙏🙏🙏❤️

I think you meant to type that 3 plumbers COULD not couldn’t )come up with 3 different solutions. But I could be mistaken
How long does a sharkbite connection hold pressure?

The package I had said they do 25 year warranty so makes me feel pretty good.

If I were you I would look at some other videos ... who knows, you might find one that better fits your situation.

Don’t forget to flush the toilet first and hold the handle to empty the tank👌
And after you do all of that the toilet still won't flush!
One little, but very critical, step what's left out. lol

@@HomeRepairTutor it is a valve problem. And not the one that you replaced. You left out a very critical step.
@billhart46
Don’t keep us in suspense… what was the very critical step left out?
@@sorsha_sky @HomeRepairTutor
Turning the main water valve back on!
@@BillHart46 😄
You need a bigger watch.
