Using PVC primer and glue on a CPVC pipe before putting a sharkbite fitting on made me laugh my ass off…why would you use any primer or glue?… it’s not PVC…it was almost even funnier watching him use vice grips to loosen the bottles of primer and glue
Cheers to home brewed beer we just subscribed after your video found us. We love to home brew beer grow some hops, make different wines and meads and others on our channel. Stay thirsty friend and brew good beer.
I think that 3rd metal retaining ring is better left on. It holds the decorative escutcheon plate against the wall, AND helps holds the pipe from slipping back into the wall, when pressure is applied to the pipe when new valve is being pushed on. Nice video otherwise! Beats those videos where they “twist and turn” to remove. Causing pipe scoring
Bad idea glue on sharkbites , next time you need to change those valve you are force to cut the pipe there is no room put a new valve once you cut that pipe.
Finally, a way to remove these ridiculously stupid water valves. Still wondering why builders use these useless water valves. Well, I know it's the cost savings but these things are a freaking nightmare. Riley, thanks for the informative video.
Ass builders knowing you gonna buy the house anyways even you know that’s a potential problem, so why no rip you off a little more from that and that’s your problem now since they handed the house to you without leaking and less likely it will leak in the next 3-5 years
Update! A year later and even though I put glue on them, believe it or not, nothing happened 😂 thanks for all the comments of the “subject matter experts”
You're probably okay but I'd be concerned about the glue and primer breaking down the O-ring in the sharkbite fitting. I use sharkbites a lot and they're surprisingly reliable -- have never had one fail. Push em on dry to copper and PEX. But in general with plumbing stuff I go exactly by the manufacturer's suggestions because the risks are too high to have a part fail.
i work at a plumbing wholesaler this is the funniest shit i have watched all day ive shown all my coworkers and have had a great time laughing at this video.....whoever told you to glue shark bite fittings onto pex with pvc glue needs to be fired
In real life this doesn't work. Only in videos where you just put a brand new valve on a pipe and then immediately take it off. Cutting it off seems to be the only option left
You don't glue shark bites and to remove the stop you don't need to buy that copper cutter you just gently pull it towards you and you rotate it counter clockwise off.
@@justindesimone7904 what specifically is wrong with my comment that rises to the level of name calling? You mean you support glueing Sharkbite fittings on CPVC? Or do you mean it is obvious to the point I should not mention it calling out the practice? Honestly I have no idea why you are pissed of to the point of name calling. Maybe you want to explain? Maybe you don’t.
