A lesson about basic PEX plumbing materials - Intro to Plumbing Systems 

Videos like this are why I watch RU-vid.

I have been plumbing as little as possible for 40 years.Plumbing is my least favorite job to do,but after 40 years you learn a lot and I know 85% of this already.Your approach to-teaching is amazing and I enjoyed watching the video from start to finish.Thank you sir.

Boy, I would have been the star of the class had you been my teacher!! Awesome education you just provided. Thank you so much

This is one of the better produced videos I've seen that explains the different types of connectors, valves and other options available to using PEX. I love the way you explain and zoom in on the parts. Thank you.

Fantastic video.. Clearly describing all or most of the available options to the PEX plumber.

That's, the most beautiful video I've ever seen (holds back tears).

One bandaged finger adds credibility, two fingers denotes master craftsman Fantastic job. Clear, concise and professional. Rare that I like or subscribe, this excellent video earned both.

Thank you for an unbelievably useful tutorial. I have repair my PEX and I'd never heard of it before today.

I just got a few quotes to update the galvanized waterlines in my home to PEX and was a bit shocked at the price. I will be trying to do it myslef instead. This was a great video to understand the basics and empower myself to do it. Thank you!

Thank you for your content. A few yea ago, in Texas, we were slammed with a horrible winter. A property of mine in Louisiana suffered plumbing damages that required the entire home to be replaced. I was taken clearly by surprise when I went to check on it. Weeks would go by before I could address it. Visiting a mom & pop hardware store, one of the workers suggests I consider PEX. I only knew PVC and purple cement/glue. He convinced me that it was worth researching if replacement was needed. I invested in the tools and materials and did the job myself. First time doing this. My dad was too ill to assist at the time, but he beamed when I told him, “Dad, it’s finished, it’s done.” If you are reading this, “You can do this!” Two bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry room….done by yours truly! There’s a tool that takes the manual labor needed out of the squeezing required to get the ring to crimp close. Being in tight spots also makes getting a good grasp on the tool challenging, but it’s very doable.

I googled pex pipes as it was rarely used here in Saudi Arabia and it's new to me. I'm glad I found this video. Even though I did not need to see all of it but I did, your stream of thought and explanation is perfect. Thanks for taking the time to make this.

This video was so so so awesome. I feel like a plumber now. Appreciate your efforts!

Good training, well laid out, very concise. Well done!

Wow Excellent video. So often these videos on RU-vid are poorly filmed or take forever, but you have created a really precise video that doesn't waste time and very clearly explains the basics of PEX. Thank-you for taking the time to provide such good content.

Awesome video. You explain things in an easy straight forward manner that is easy to understand. Keep up the outstanding work.

Just found your channel. Outstanding video. As a retired electrician I wanted to learn about using Pex. Great content and instruction. I'm off to view more of what you have to teach on the subject. Thank you.

I just found this channel because all the pipes burst in a house I’m revamping. I am somewhat new to construction and this channel is such a breath of fresh air. Thank you for explaining everything clearly.

One of the most complete tutorial videos I've seen out there. Thank you so much.

Awesome video, soooo clear and concise, the best pet video I've seen to date, thank you sooo much.

Incredibly helpful video. I've referred back to it often over various jobs at new house this past year. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge so clearly!

I just came across your video. This is what I've been trying to find for ages! This is basically a whole course. Knowing all the puzzle pieces makes us able to improvise the plan. The way that you patiently explained every details throughout was just fabulous. Very well done! I just saved this video as I'll have to watch it more and more late. I just subscribed to your wonderful channel. Thank you so much 👍👌👏👏👏🙏

Excellent explanations on each fitting and what they do and are used for. Also love that you took your time with each one and didn't rush through a fitting that isn't used as often.

Thank you so much for the video! I am always humored by some plumbing supply store that cater to plumbing professionals. If you walk in as a DYI'er they are not very receptive to help. They want you to think you need a plumber,.....which is silly. I appreciate the clear, concise and easy to follow video!!!

Great video! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. Blessings!

As a new homeowner I greatly appreciate content like this! Thank you for sharing the knowledge and teaching us about the trade!

Wow, what an awesome video!! I learned so much from you about pex. I like your calm nature and you explain in detail how everything works together really well!

Been doing my own plumbing for years. Lots of tools, pipe, joints/connections, glues/solder for galvanized, copper, pvc, etc. Recently a pipe and valve started leaking in my recently deceased mother's house. Unbenounced to me the house had been replumbed with PEX a few years ago but I can't repair it as I don't have and can't afford to buy the special pipe, valve, fittings and tools needed to make the repair and nothing I have works with PEX. Trying now to contact a plumber that has the proper tools, parts and knowledge to make the repair without it costing me a large part of my SSI monthly income.

Wonderful. Thanks so much. It’s really helpful for layman.

Fantastic video, truly. Thank you!

Thanks. Glad I found you. We are about to finally remodel the kitchen. Most of the house is done, but over the years I’ve done more and more work because contractors aren’t contacters. When you never hear back from several or multiple ones come out and give crazy high estimates, you gotta put your hand to it. I’ve done a little plumbing, but it still an unknown realm to me. Appreciate the info.

Really great explanation of PEX connections and more. When you showed the ball valve and explained the handle position, I was thinking how it would be cool if he showed the ball inside and how it works, and compared it to a gate valve. Then that was exactly what you did. You didn't waste any time, you spoke clearly, and best of all, no distracting music. This is a template of how an informational video should be done. Thank you.

Glad I found you!!!! You are the most knowledgeable and very informative!!!!!!!! I am needing this info badly!!!!!

Wonderful detailed explanation. Thank you

When using the push to connect fittings, especially on copper, make sure to deburr the end. The o-ring seal inside can be damaged causing a leak. I would also recommend extra care on any pipe material. Even a small piece of plastic getting under the o-ring can cause a leak. These are very reliable when carefully installed. They are very well made and even have an inner support tube to help hold alignment.

This is a VERY well put together video!! Mr. Carswell is very easy to understand, and is very explanatory about the different types of pex pipe and fittings. He takes his time to cover the different uses, advantages and how they work. There are also close ups of the different fittings. He talks in a very quiet and slow manner which is easy to follow. I have a tool box of fittings, push connectors and a roll of pex pipe for my own use. After watching this video, my knowledge has been upgraded. Very well done and a lot of information.

That’s probably the best RU-vid video presentation/lesson I have seen. Keep up the excellent work.

This is awesome and very helpful in understanding how all this works and fits together. Thank u !

Great video for beginners like me. Thanks so much!

This is so amazing. My friend is allowing me to work in his business for a bit. You are explaining very well the things he hasn't had the time to explain.

Thank you! Excellent video with a wealth of information. I was so confused yesterday when I saw all the different types of shut off valves. Now I know to get the straight push to connect valves for under my kitchen sink supply pipes. I'm thinking my pipes are half inch. Subscribed and I'll be checking more vids to help me get my pipes done and new faucet installed. Subscribed. 🙂

Awesome video. I plumbed my tiny little cabin in copper and then cpvc and every year regardless of how I winterize something always splits or comes loose. This looks promising. Thank you.
