Thanks Steve for that laugh when you put the recently unsoldered piece for your pocket and laughed about it wondering why it was getting warm. That had me cracking up too. Cheers from Vancouver Canada!
Great fix Steve, a learning video as always! Remain blessed and keep them video's coming 💯💥🥳☝️💪
It is that time of year again momma….New England’s 6th season, aka sill faucet replacement season. 😜👍 Like most repairs, Steve makes it look easy… Like everything else those frost-free outdoor faucets aren’t cheap anymore. Even the re-build kits are at least half the price of a new sill faucet….. Take Steve’s word and remove your garden hose from the faucet when the temps get cold or suffer the sticka shock.
Gotta be very precise with that long solder hook. LOVE IT Steve!
Glad to be able to do that kind of work myself! Just couldn't justify paying someone a few hundred dollars to do a job like that!
why not just replace the outside tap here? I am confused, the issue didn't seem to be internal, only with the external tap not shutting off?
I'd like to know the same thing--why so complicated, why can't you just change the turn-on knob from the exterior?
Steve, that solder job would of made me nervous with that plastic being so close. Good job !!
“It’s not easy being cheesy!!” Best part of the video!! Thank you for that!😂
beautiful soldering, Bud......done like a jeweler.
Miss Molly was excited!! Good job as always Steve!!👍
Real great job Steve keep safe god bless you and your dog
Steve Lav with the step back solder job from deep!
yeah, that working over washer and dryer sucks i was redoing bathroom plumbing over dryer and used a folding kitchen stool with metal grab loop so i could lean over dryer but eventually gave up and moved dryer since i had a bunch of pipes to fix
Using the top of a customers washing machine as a workbench is a big no no for me, I would cover stuff up👍
I was thinking the same thing. My shoe would be going up the yahoo's ass if doing that at my place!
@@dickhertz8103 Sure buddy.
That solder hook was impressive
.
Gotta love those frost free outdoor frost free outdoor faucets !
I was talking to another plumber today,he's using pro press to replace 2" copper in the overhead of a garage,I can't believe how much that tool weighs with a 2" head on it,deal breaker for me,I'll use a torch all day long,good job my friend 👍
yeah i'm not a fan either
I'll take ProPress any day I work on 1/2" to 4" on hotels old ass gate valves never shut all the way off have fun soldering 3" or 4" with good amount of water flowing.
@@plumbbuild6517 Yes I'm there it's getting old I'm 56 my knees and back are going luckey have couple of helpers dragging all that shit. Now alot of places won't let you solder with in building only boiler rooms,Chillers etc which is 90% of my work.
Swedish plumber here and i agree with you. we have really strict rules about anything thats called hot works. cant really solder. use a grinder. weld etc with out having hot work permits so pro press is the way to go here. How ever ive used this really smart propress thing where you put like a ring around the fitting and the jaws on the propress hooks into that ring and you press it. Its still a bit heavy and clumsy to use in tight areas but nothing like those ol massive jaws. But sometimes i wish we could just solder more over here. (if you solder here with out getting that permit and you accidently start a fire its all on you or your company here.) having used 54mm (its almost like your 2") copper press jaws on a ladder before. Not fun.
@@Kerbros100 yes I have have all the offsets and jaw for 1/2" to 4" work on a lot of super tight spaces where straight jaws no Bueno offsets make the impossible possible!
That is some steady hands. Steve had the hands of a surgeon.
I like how the content varies with the seasons.
Looks like the dryer vent duct work needs a cleaning too as the bottom slat of outside dryer vent cover is sticking open, probably with an accumulation of dryer lint.
Another great job Steven! Miss Molly is awesome!
I know it is a tough winter environment, but those faucets seem to fail pretty often. I like the inside shut off and purge the line to a regular hose bib when it comes time for winter, am I way off here? I am familiar with cold winter, but not negative numbers for a long period of time.
most of the ones that fail are due to people leaving hoses connected which keeps the water in the cold area and it freezes and goes bad...
"Why do you wear gloves she asks". Great videos!!
I once seen Steve beat up Chuck Norris with one hand tied behind his back.
Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again y’all. 👍👍
Another Steve Lav customer satisfied💯
So much easier to do a female adapter so the home owner can do maintenance or swap it out next time. Its good business to make things easier for the home owner...
That particular homeowner sounded like an elderly woman, so she’s probably calling in someone to replace if / when needed.
But I agree with you; at my own house I used the threaded female fitting on the inside when I replaced mine. Next time, just some Teflon tape and screwing on.
If you're spinning that female off, that means you're cutting the pipe and sweating it back together.
Nice work Steve!
Nice sidekick!
The bread truck sounds a lot better than before, was that an extra long frost free valve, like 2 feet long, haha just kidding, Good job Steve as always.
Always makes me nervous running a torch on an existing stop and waste valve, for fear of damaging the washer or packing. 1/2" coupling in the new 5" section of copper all day long.
Great as always
I made the mistake and left the hose on one winter and it ruined the faucet. The water never flowed out and froze and split the pipe. Had to replace it.
It's not easy being cheesy 😉👍
Yeah!! Try that with a pro-press! Awesome! 😉
Good job steve! HAHAH Pro Press Not in this Neighborhood..
@@plumbbuild6517 - I had a good lumber come and replace some shut off valves recently. The ones where solder was best were soldered. One in particular where solder would have been bad was for a refrigerator ice maker shut off that was in a wall that contained blown in insulation - the pro-press was the right tool for that.
Good job steve!
Great Video👏🏾
solder it and make sure the home owner cant change it if it fails again!! aint easy being cheesy
i agree Steve to prevent melting the internals, it takes the 20 seconds to take the guts out. lol you solder quicker than the pro press queens get the tool out the case. " its not the space shuttle"
So, this type of faucet can't be repaired like the older style?
11:15 What is that black knob on the top of the faucet used for?
ITS A VACUUM BREAKER
@@stevenlavimoniere thanks - great video btw
Soon it will be AC run cap replacement season.
“Cuz of this shit here.” 💜
Way to put a new one inair!
Just shut it off from the inside till you can replace it. My soldering looks like crap any more. But being 72 and having tremors make it interesting ( aggravating )
Hello Steve!
7:00 Job Security, I would think a female fitting would make the faucet easier to replace in the future assuming you can find a frost free hydrant which is the exact same length. The rubber shutoff washer is right on the other side where he soldered but he took it apart and was good. No leaks that is all that counts in the end.
Those frost free faucets do come in very standardized lengths. There are different standard lengths due to different wall thicknesses and plumbing configuration, so would just have to pick the right one.
Why don’t you ever use a propress just curious
This dude ain't even had a fire extinguisher nearby. Whole house end up in smoke
My God these houses are as bad as mine. At least they have access to a good plumber.
Definitely a leekah mama there! A little bit crusty oooone too :)
Hi Steve and miss Molly

Dude awesome video but what’s with all the moaning
It comes with the job
[ Without Even Seing this Video ]; " Judging by " the " Title and the Picture " in
the " Thumbnail " !
I Would Attach a " High Pressure Hose " With a " Trigger Nozzle " on the end of it and
go from there !
Hey ... It's Better then spending $ 150. +/- Dollars on having " Professional " come out
and Fix it !
Bruh loud ass intro
Thanks again for the videos.
