I'm a Master Plumber, and that was the most solid way I've ever seen anybody blow out the lines on a shower valve install. I'm sharing your video with my guys. #BIG💯
@samspry9452 so just like master mechanics take many tests through the A.S.E program, plumbers have their own aswell! It's really only for the sake of the customer, many plumbers can be just as good or experienced but without that certification you may not get the same amount of work.
Takes four years of school to get journeyman license here. Then more time and a quicker but basically same test gets you master. It’s an actual cert. we plumbers are the only trade that has to be licensed with the department of heath. Pretty difficult test too👍🏻 but not even worth going for masters anymore
Im a master plumber and have been for 15 years. Changed so many shower valves Its unreal. That is one of the best jobs ive ever seen. Going in from the back is usually my 1st approach and to be honest, never really considered swapping it out the front. Im floored my guy. aAWESOME WORK!!!!!
I mean if you done it for 15 years ain’t no way you haven’t run into it where you can’t cut the back wall cause in my experience in plumbing it’s a 50/50 you can cut the wall never know
I wish I would’ve took plumbing as a skill set in my 20’s.I started late at 39 and first year I made over 70,000 w/job another 12-15,000 on the side. At 42 I was locating burst pipes in the ground,excavation work.I made 3,000 first in ground side job,family tipped me a 100,I was low balling big jobs.It wasn’t so much the money,Plumbing started to be simple and so enjoyable.I loved being a plumber,Plumbers I love you all.I have spinal stenosis and it damaged my nerve roots.I can’t walk around much anymore your videos make me laugh and cry.I wish so bad that I could climb on an excavator and line up some jobs.
I am a plumber for 20 years And this plumber knows his work 100 percent This is an amazing work with all steps followed. Keep up the great one and teach as many kids as you can .
@sancho2005 your good man. Just the know it alls running there mouth again. I like seeing you 14 and 13 years guys being humble. It's a good look. Haters are gonna hate 😂

That "they added in these handy isolation valves so you can change it every two weeks when it stops working" line blew me up 😂😂😂 than there was "Safety Sam" 😂😂. You're killing man. I enjoy these videos
Now there is a new tool for my toolbox. Thank you so much for this. I've only ever done a couple of these, but I hated them. There's not enough room. But I never thought to cut up the old valve and then sweat off the extra pieces. Genius.
Not a plumber, but have replaced many faucets for friends and family over many years. When they are looking for a new faucet, I tell them to pick out a DELTA that they like. Probably other strong brands out there but DELTA has proven to be the best I've worked with.
Yall see that white plastic with the screw going into it... it strips out with repeated use... ya looks like the other one u could at least use a screw driver to hob cob it???
More solid work .. amazing how much info and content you can squeeze into a quick short TH-cam. The fernco is a nice trick for flushing out the housing! Tks.
I'm a plumber 14 years. This is how I do mine. That's a delta 1300 series multi choice. I too use a Fernwood to blow out my lines. I jist don't silicone the plate on because that sucks for the next guy we needs to change the cartridge. But sick skills mam getting that done without a dummy plate 🤌🤌🤌
Met a backhoe guy one day, used him a lot for a while. Only mufuqan backhoe driver that would jump off to help shovel. Had this same voice but real!! “What. Are. You. DOING booooy?!?!”
my old man been a plumber for bout 30 years ive i hate it but i know how he taught me and anything less then perfection with him and working for him aint cutting it! and that my friend would made the old man smile if he seen this!
Nick. That's a easy fix. Find the directions online but basically, you just have to rotate the cartridge. A good cartridge shower assembly is made to be reversible and used on either side of the originally vertical plumbing water lines.
You’re an outstanding plumber mechanic, your videos are very informative. Let me ask you, when you pressure test a residential supply line, what pressure level do you crank it up to, and how long do you require the line maintain pressure?
You made me feel like an absolute moron when you used the handle of the channel locks to install the shower arm. So simple yet so effective. I’m not a plumber, but I’ve definitely messed up more than a couple shower arms even when using absolute care installing them.
Uhhhh I believe you meant to say “errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr you shoulda pressure tested everything before closing it up” ahahahaha I love the voices!! Been following for a awhile. Love the hard work you do brother.
Keep up the great commentary!* The content is great man!* Keep the information flowing throughout the video!* Freakin great video man!* Hell yes!* I love it !* My son's can enjoy this!*

@@michaelderkinderen2261 well, not really. Nothing lasts for ever and people might be changing something or just adding another appliance.

Called the plumber and it turned out to be grit had gotten into the system when the meter was fitted. The plumber complained about the quality of the water meter installation and the general quality of the plumbing on both showers. He was lost for words when I told him both showers were installed by his son!😂
Just did 2 of these "micro surgeries" the other day, definitely a pain in the ass and can be pretty tricky, especially if it's an old 8 inch spread valve. You sure made it look easy with your sweet fine tool blade!
Excellent work I’ll say one things because I’m a perfectionist and would hate to go back, that is to run the water from the shower head before putting the plate back on to make sure there are no leaks other then that great work
Condensation? The pipes are copper. If their is Condensation it will be on the outside of the pipes and by not siliconing the bottom, will do nothing for draining imaginary condensation. When you cut a hoke that big, you need to seal it up good.
Always carry a good fire extinguisher, and a heat deflection. You have the water turned off. The sweat soldering fumes take a long time to come out of the wall. Old Bouy ages ages real fast watching the smoke WONDERING IF!
As a guy who does plumbing on a very large 180 unit multi story building, don't caulk the bottom under the valve escutcheon. Yeah, I know you tickled it with that little red tube, but that's not gonna cut it.

I never seal the bottoms with silicone because condensation needs to get out. I pretty much use this practice on all my construction projects.
Maybe im wrong but it looks like he pokes through the bottom of the silicon after he puts the plate on
@@zakethekid1333he does
He clearly uses a thin red poker (looks like a WD40 spout) to poke a hole in the silicone ring from the bottom of the trim piece.
