First time I've heard of hemp for sealing threads! Hemp is kind of the wonder plant. Suppressed. But really capable.

Thanks Bru, just what I need.. got a fairly modern kitchen mixer to replace but the previous installers hard coppered to the tap and solder joint.. got cut it out and put flexi in..

Cheers, seems like a straight forward job. I got a couple to fit in my cloakroom. It is annoying not to have them and then to shut the main water stopcock just to change the seal in the mixer.

Could you provide a link to these stop valves with 1 female end please? I can't find these anywhere and it would save me a lot of hassle on a job. I can only find valves with 2 male compression ends. Thanks

Bit of a dumb question but when the taps are 90 degrees to the copper pipe is this cutting off the water, and do they need to be kept this way during normal time? Thx for the excellent videos.

Use a proper hand twist copper pipe cutter for cleaner cut. They make tiny ones for tight locations.

Thanks for the video, it clarified some doubts I have. I am going to make a vintage style faucet that will be put on a countertop so the copper pipe ends below it. I need to connect the flexible pipe that comes from the shut off valve to that copper pipe, what I should use for that? We are in full quarantine here so all stores are closed and Im gonna buy it online. Thanks!!

@tinkthefoxylilmiss6801
@tinkthefoxylilmiss6801 8 месяцев назад
Hemp was to create a seal (the hemp expands when it absorbs water which seals the pipe).... some people prefer to use Teflon tape as a seal. The hemp sounds genius!😊

Why didn't you need to flare the copper?
@ecologicaltime
@ecologicaltime 4 года назад
the watertight seal is made owing to the ring. You do not need to flare on this setup. If you were joining copper to dissimilar fitting that had a bugle type end, then yes flare it.

hemp is right. PTFE is inferior for metal fittings. great for plastic though.

Use the coupler on the copper pipe and connect the coupler to one end of the stop valve and the other end of the valve connects to the flexi pipe.

The flexi has a valve in, how would you attach a flexi to a fixed pipe?

@nevis5559
@nevis5559 5 лет назад
I certainly wouldn't recommend using a cutting disc on a pipe that has another pipe directly behind it. If it were necessary I would recommend using a piece of scrap metal for protection in case the grinding disc catches the back pipe.

Don't know what country you are in but in the UK we fit isolator valves direct to copper and flexi plus there is no need for ptfe. Don't over tighten the fittings that's the major problems for the diy enthusiasts.👍👍
