Thank you, finally someone actually shows replacing entire assembly and not just repacking the valves. I also appreciate your in-depth explanation on how you can tell if it’s a cracked pipe versus valving issues right up front.
Holy cow! I think this is one of the best videos I’ve ever watched. Plane and simple and to the point. Love the graphics too. Made me a follower today!
It's a pleasure to watch a pro at work. Thank you, Hammerpedia guy 🙂
thanks for a good video, but wondering why not just solder a female threaded connector inside and screw in the new faucet? Saves the valve from solder heat stress, only that one solder joint, and might save another sheetrock cut later.
Good point. Now wondering about different options myself
I love this guy. Great video. I bought his plumbing course and it was worth every penny. Thanks for everything sir.
Wow, thanks!
Good to know that this solder joint meets code and will stand the test of time. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent explanation and instructions. Thank you for making it sooo much easier.
This is so clear! I really like these videos. Super helpful.
Thanks and looking forward to your follow up video on rebuilding one of these.
Excellent explanation! Good work!
Thank you so much for that super-helpful instructional.
Great video!
Great presentation. Thanks.
Excellent information!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!!!!!
Awesome information!!!!! Thank you!!!!!
You’ve made this so easy to understand. Excellent video! Thank you!
Thanks Melissa!
Very helpful. Thank you!
Awesome stuff.
Thanks for the information!!
Great video! Thank you
Great video! This helped me do my first hose bib replacement.
Great!
Best plumbing instruction video I have seen. Just subscribed. I would have installed a 1/4" turn ball valve and access panel for future access. That's just me...
this explains why my faucet was leaking behind my brick wall only when it's on. Thanks! have a like
more videos! your explanations are great!
Many people drove cars with no antifreeze. Freezing water can crack engine blocks. happened to a buddy.. Good video. I replaced a frost free last year. Love this learning on TH-cam.
Excellent display
Freaking awesome video man!
Excellent Information! Thanks for taking the time to make this video. "God Wins" ❤️
This is amazing video bro❤
Excellent and informative - Thank you. My hose bib is leaking from the spindle when I turn it on EXACTLY as to your description of a burst pipe due to not disconnecting the hose BUT there is absolutely NO water coming into my inside wall where the housing passes through THANKFULLY.
Frankly, I'm baffled.
It's NOT coming from the packing nut. It LOOKS like it's shooting out from the holes in the spindle that turns (OPEN/CLOSE) within the housing of the hose bib assembly.
Perfect video
Your on the team.
GOLD... thank Brother!
Very helpful video, thanks!
Gracias Primo 😂
Great details/ installation.
I’m trying to teach my 17 year old.
Hey @Hammerpedia how did you know it was a sweat connection before cutting the drywall to see it? And along that same thought, is it possible to find out if you have a screw in without being able to see the line inside the house? (i.e behind drywall)
Thanks
1st rate video! I have that same problem, but our kitchen cabinets were built around where the hose bib enters the house. 2 plumbers have looked at it and scratched their heads. Apparently, it cannot be replaced without tearing out some cabinetry. 😢
Good day sir, hope you make videos like this, it's so informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for your kind words.
Amazing bro just hit the follow button 🎉🎉
Nice job dad
Thanks Pugrolly 😁
Very well done I had to go thru almost the same on one i did
Thanks!
Why not use the threaded connection so if this happens again they can just thread in a new spigot? Also did you measure the level and make sure it drains out? That is a critical step and that could be why it froze up in the first place.
good
My original spigot enters the basement JUST BELOW the plywood subfloor of the level above.
This prevents me from achieving any kind of slope away from the home.
In this situation, would I still a new hole, lower than the original spigots penetration, and then fill in the original penetration?
What software do you use for drafting your plumbing videos ? I have a customer that I would like to demonstrate the planning/reviewing for his plumbing project 👍
Thank you for your videos! They are great
Can you use pipe connections without soldering?
I like to clean the pipe BEFORE i make the cut..;)
I just cannot locate the inside end of my freeze proof spigot for replacement. I know it's inside the utility area of my basement but I have no reference points and so many wires & pipes in a small location. Any tips?
Great job. Do you have one for a leaky one of these?
Not yet, in the works.
Great and thorough video. I’m confused thought because I didn’t see you adjust the slope. I thought the last one failed because it didn’t drain properly. Won’t this one fail too now?
There is an angled spacer that goes behind the faucet, which creates the slope.
What would the charge for something like this? I am not looking for a formal quote just curious. I was quoted a little over $500.
Extremely white bread stuffed in the water pipe is helpful to keep it dry and dissolves with water flow.
I guess I'm gonna need to replace my outside spicket now!! Excellent video and WELL done!!! I'm receiving your emails now but forgot to subscribe!! Lol.
PS... I'm subscribed now!! 🙂😉👍
Thanks for subscribing :)
Mine isn't like that at all. Under a crawl space where I can't pull the pipe out and what I have there's no pulling the pipe out so I have cut the pipe where it is and try to install one where there's soldering.
What’s this software?
sketchup
What if you have no leaks, but top of faucet is broke, has no cap for the top...
Why not just unscrew it? Isn't the screw on piece soldered already?
Why don't you use a shark bite coupling instead of soldering
What if in the future the housing (the whole hose unit), has to be replaced AGAIN?
When you unscrew it from the wall and the water connection I would HAVE to believe a SOLDERED connection vs. a SHARK BITE connection would be less likely to leak when you're done.
No?
