    I used the knowledge from your videos to replace a leaking water line at my in-laws house yesterday. I did a couple practice runs on some spare pipe and fittings before making the actual repair. The final product was fantastic and looked professional (I bought all the tools I saw in your videos). I have never soldered a pipe before. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I’m going to your Paetron site next to contribute.

    Very well done. Sure, it's not like being a journeyman, but for home DIY, this was invaluable. I kinda knew what to do, and had done the electric side of soldering a bit. Finally dove in, moved 2 feeds around a corner to an adjacent wall in our bathroom. Thanks for the tips, alot of solid info. I left the whole day for it, and went slow. Turned the water back on with zero issues. There were a couple of really nice details and tips that saved my ass. You said preparation was so important, and i think thats what got it for me. It really made a difference.
    great video.

    If I have to solder I use fine grade steel wool to clean the joints and polish them up with some brasso.
    I use a little less solder then yourself. I clean the joints with steel wool also whilst hot. You can barely see it's been soldered. Especially if you touch the joint on the rear.
    8 years of soldering endless joints. You become a pro no blobs or runny joints just pure bliss 😊.
    For copper tube cutters in tight spots my mentor taught me to use a large slip wrench. Always worked a treat 👍
    Always glad to watch your videos bro. 💯

    I watched several of your posted videos, and I found them very concise and helpful for most DIY home owners and thank you so much for your contributions. If I may also suggest adding a few more comments in your future videos regarding the importance of heating the pipes and fittings uniformly before adding solder to allow the wicking effects of the solder to pull solder into the solder joints. Also it will be helpful to add a few words about how to add solder always from opposite side of the flame to avoid cold solder joints. Thank you again for great videos and looking forward to your future video postings.

      Can you please make a video showing how to physically install the same connector shown in this video? Sounds simple and like a task that should not require instruction. However, due to rigidity of each pipe end, I'm unsure of the proper way to handle the pipes in such a way that enough space is created to allow the connector fitting to be installed without putting excessive pressure on the already installed pipes that need to be connected. I was looking forward to this step being shown in this video but it was not shown.

    This is super useful, I am doing electronics soldering since I was a small kid, but never really tried these before. I am generally very "tech aware" so to speak and usually solve all my technical issues by myself, but for copper plumbing I really needed a few starting tips, and surely enough there's plenty of them as in any profession, many of them impossible to know before years of experience and hard work.
    I just moved to a new house and it's pretty cold during winter, the radiators are on copper pipes and I think in a few months I'l get bigger ones and replace them myself. :)

    If you're feeling extra cautious, or you don't have a small-flame torch, what I like to do (in addition to these steps and precautions) is to use a spray bottle to wet down the studs that may receive more heat than I want. I wait until it's all fluxed and assembled to be sure there's no water getting on the mating surfaces, dampen all nearby combustibles, hang /position my fire cloth, and then apply heat. Since I typically have a MAP bottle with a larger head on it, this gives me extra peace of mind.

    • @nelsonechevarria7009
      @nelsonechevarria7009 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I do the same thing,I fill a spray bottle with water and I saturate the area where I solder before I solder and after I solder as soon as the joint is cool enough to where I don't have to worry about the solder splitting from the area being saturated with water.

    Good video especially about the wet rags I like to use a spray bottle of water. I have a few additional tips It's always good to wipe the excess solder off and visually inspect the joint for gaps especially for larger piping. It's also very important to heat the back of the joint due to capillary reaction where the flux follows the heat and the solder follows the flux.

    • @Got2Learn

    I bought one of those pencil reamers and I don't really like it,what I have done up until now is to fold a piece of the brown scotch bright and use it to remove the bur left on the inside of the copper pipe.I plan to buy a dedicated reaming too that reams both the inside and outside of the copper pipe.Your idea of keeping a full bucket of water at hand is invaluable advice because often times people will not take into account that once the main valve is shut off there will be no water available to extinguish a fire should one arise in the course of soldering copper pipe.Fantastic video.

    Awesome Vid! I liked this one particularly because you showed soldering a bunch of different joints in different positions in a row, helps me learn better.
    I am amazed at how little solder you use! After watching my plumber (who makes much bigger globs of solder) then I started doing it and would just solder the fuck out of it to be sure. Thank you for pointing out that the extra just goes in the pipe and restricts flow.

    Interesting to see your method. Here in the UK we gave up on the end feed capillary fittings about 10 years ago as unscrupulous plumbers were feeding in the cheaper lead content solder. Now all our fittings have an integral ring of solder in them. No cleaning required as our fluxes clean the pipe as it is heated. It’s just cut, fit, flux and heat. But even our method is getting dated as we are all using poly pipe now, can’t remember as a plumber the last time I soldered a fitting. Even when doing a repair on copper we just use push fit tectite fittings. That’s progress for you.

    I think that these videos you provide are excellent. Very well done and you do a great job narrating as well. Forgive me for one critique I have on this video and one or two others. The person soldering in your videos often does not solder properly. At 3:33 for instance, which is also the thumbnail pic for this video, he is clearly directing the tip of his flame at the very front of the hub of the fitting, the flame is actually hitting the pipe and the front of the hub. For proper solder flow it is necessary to direct the tip of your flame where the pipe is all the way in. This is called the "shoulder" of the fitting, or the back of the hub. Especially important on upside down vertical joints, This will pull the solder up into the fitting hub, thus avoiding solder "icicles"
