I’m sure those o rings are nice and toasty burnt. They also make screw on stainless steel adapters to put the pex rifjt on so you don’t mix copper and make maintenance replacement easier down the road. But hey I’m just a non plumber doing things the correct way.
I started watching your videos as a guy aspiring to be in the HVAC plumbing fields just going to school. Now I watch your videos 3 years deep and can fully relate. Thank you sir lol
Nice stain on the home owners concrete floor from the heated acid from sweating the copper. 👌
as a plumber i still watch your videos to learn more. thank you you are awesome
Will that heat from torch melt that o-ring in faucet if you don't remove it?
I would remove it, personally.
Thumbs up! I have to replace mine. I have to go from polybutylene to PEX to Faucet. I know the PB is no longer allowed in homes, but mine has it and will replace as they leak, great video Steve.
Nice job Steve! I like your new TH-cam icon!
Nice work Steve!
Pex comes in many colors. I have White, Ivory/yellowish, Red, Blue, Orange & Black
Thanks Steve!
That was a good twofer ... Thanks ...
3:23 that’s how we like them
Hey Steve may I ask what was wrong with outside faucets
I just bought that 1/2 inch white in pluming department using outside . I use Sharkbite with it. What wrong using it ? What the color got to do with it?
Quality job.
The white pipe it’s pex, for sure
Good again !!!
And did not dirty those white socks !!!
What do you think of sharkbite spigot frost free?
what is that vehicle? :)
Why not just buy the sillcocks with pex end already on it?
Easy peasy gd job
I only use white it's easier to stock and you can't trust the original install could have the red and blue mixed if they ran short .
With the noise of the traffic, that house sounds like they live on the Mass Pike.
That white pipe is sharkbite pex.
So you wanna be a Plumba,, It ain't easy being cheesy, this is why I wear gloves, LOL.. love the videos..
Was that pipe clear pex? Maybe? Nice job sir, you ever use pex A? Uponor
the white pipe is pex, educate !
Steve, pex does make it easier.
Nice job Steve. Do you like that style of crimp rings?
@@billybob042665 Incorrect. The video had Pex-B, you're talking about Pex-A. Totally different.
Why didn't you just rebuild the valves? I recognize the "Wofford" brand and I've rebuilt the valve stems many times. It's real easy! and cheap!
Pex B?
Baby the Dog!
Quick fix outside hose bibbs. Steven Lav. Most cites around my area outlaw pex piping, had class act suit years ago.
The white pipe could have been PVC conduit.
Dude, does your phone ring on every video?
pdovale76 it better no ringing no money
No more _Value Testers_ endorsements?
That white pipe on the hose bib in the beginning of the video looks like C-PVC, or if the original installer was a cheap bastard, it might be just plain old PVC. Those clamp type connectors are crap, all they really do is crush the end of the PEX, and are the most likely to fail over time. Of all the different types of connectors out there, that is probably the only one I would never use, even in an emergency situation. I prefer Uponor PEX and fittings, they offer a much more reliable seal that will never leak, except for installer error, AND they are guaranteed lead free.
As always another great video. If you’re ever in Iowa I want to buy you some Iowa sweet corn. You haven’t had sweet corn until you try ours. It’s best when eaten the same day as it’s picked. I know you’re busy, so it may never happen.
Maybe that white pipe was sharkbite piping, used incorrectly.
Omg what has the world come to I wouldn't have pex for nothing . DIY heaven
What a waste of time, just use a 3/8 shark bite connector on the Pex with 1/2 inch male threaded end and a small 1/2 inch female ends braided steel flex line. Attach the shark bite to the Pex, just slip it on, attach the steel line to the shark bite and attach the other end of the steel line to the male threads on the faucet The original faucets appear to already be "Frost Free" and on a New house, Come on Steve !
Looking at the plumbing work inside, I do not know if I would have faith to re-use anything they had - even if it appeared to work. If you use the old ones and they fail, the owner will blame you and you get to make another trip for no $$$.
That’s how he gets paid. And every job he goes on , he says what a mess. Come on not all home is built yesterday
Honestly I hate pex. It’s flimsy and doesn’t look as clean as copper does. And it’s more work converting from copper to pex. Might as well make the whole house copper at the end of the day if you’re gonna have to solder.
If you use shark bite connectors you don't need a plumber, just do it your self, No soldering ever again! And you can go from copper to Pex.
My mom's home was ruined by plastic polybutylene (PB) pipe, but I plan on replacing my PB home (zero leaks, 28 years in) with pex. Because I can run a pipe from the manifold directly to my each fixture's shut off valve with no joins or welds. I just have my doubts over sharkbite in cases where something like water hammer continually stresses the coupling. I am more comfortable with the crimps and a precise crimper. But it is more difficult and there will be cases where the crimper can't get in perfect position and years later you have a leak there... where a shark-bite would have worked flawlessly. I wouldn't convert copper line unless you are getting pinhole leaks everywhere from bad water. Good pipe you can just braze on a new coupling and you're good to go.
I'm a southerner, so I am used to lower insulation values, but I'd want at least 2-3' of downward slope on the pex to empty out more water when you winterize. I know pex is freeze resistant but still...
I live in PA. My entire basement is copper and ALWAYS popping a leak somewhere. I have replaced with Pex and had ZERO issues.
