THANK YOU!!! every other video instruction replaced the entire set up, this is exactly what I needed. I just called a plumber to come out. You saved me a house call fee and only God knows how much to replace a $3 part.
I don't want to rip on this too much, but it's literally a video on everything NOT to do. Should have fed the blue pex through the hole and already had it attached to the spigot, that foam and entire outside arrangement will not stop the line from freezing if you're in an area that has winters like the Northeastern part of the country. Just so many better way to move the line if that was the purpose. Guy has a good attitude, but I would not do this.
Very cool idea bro. But people use spigot/faucet with a 1/4 turn handle so it’s easy to turn on and off and you don’t have to sit there turning it on and off. Always try to up the size of opening in back-so if your water line is 1/2 get a spigot with 3/4 fitting on back and reduce it down to 1/2-it will give you a little more water at the hose-do this same thing with sprinkler valves. If your pipes for sprinkler are 3/4 then get a 1 inch sprinkler valve and reduce down to a 3/4. Things like this are friction zones that slow water down so if you make the friction zone bigger it makes it flow a little better.
As a plumber, I recently replaced all of these stops in a house because one did blow off and flood a 3-story condominium. Why are these things even allowed to be installed to begin with? They are absolute trash.
Method A has teeth mark, but after adding new valve with pvc cement... Does this negate the teeth marks because the cemet "fills" in the gap from teeth mark??? I ask because I don't have a saw to cut and wondering what is the negative of the teeth marks. Thanks in advance for anybody's response.
PVC is easy cast iron is a ball buster. Especially 1955 cast iron this house was built like its going to war they did not mess around back in those days.
These videos make this look so easy. I pull mine up "half way" and it only turns a 1/4 or so and then it stops. I still can't get it out. I'm just gonna pour a gallon of drano down the drain and let it set for about 6hrs😅
My goodness, you're amazing. I've been trying to get the drain out for weeks and couldn't figure out how. Google wasnt giving me anything helpful until i stumbled across your video. Thank you so much!
Good job, but i have to ask, why use those outdated antiquated spin forever water valves, when you can use a 1/4 turn ball Valve. I've replaced all of mine and have Zero Regrets. Excellent work. Thanks for sharing.
Would this process be any different on a fiberglass tub and shower unit? Are the same replacement parts and methods shown in this video applicable on fiberglass?
Good job and thanks for posting this. I was literally about to walk out the door and go buy channel locks because I didn’t have them but then saw your video. I had it off in less than 30seconds! 🎉 rockstar. Thank you!
My pipe extends about 3 inches from the wall and is threaded but the threads are damaged and the spout replacement shot off I tried but can’t unscrew the copper pipe to replace it
I did the same EXCEPT my house is plumbed with 1" PVC so that made the plumbing easier AND I am sick to death of not having a free spigot available SO I put 3 faucets on my 1" riser pipe. 1-my 100ft lawn watering hose 1-my 6ft hose I wash cars or rinse or whatever 1-always free to wash hands or fill a bucket with. I call these my WATER TOWERs they are 48" tall. I have one off my garage & one back of my house. I would also like to put one off my Rv shed but thats 100 - 150ft away, but, I am thinking about it. !
Don’t be worried. It’s pretty simple. I recommend open a faucet somewhere in the house, then try shutting the water off, you should hear the water stop running, you then know it’s off. Good luck.
My spigot is maybe 6in above ground at the front of the house and is a pain getting hose on and off. Previous owners put an auxiliary spigot at the back of the house and the back of the yard. It has a connector hose to the rear spigot (not plumbed) which has a Tee to go the remote spigot. Another pricier option is something called aquapor. It mounts flush to the house; you plug and adapter in whenever you want to use the water. Very clean install.
