Great vid and well done, my friend. Always great to someone that cares about their work and knows the code. Wish you were in my area! 😃 Best wishes, and keep em coming.
joe great vid on pro press...yea can see it saving time. Old school here,still thread the pipe guy..ha! Two years from full retirement cant justify a $2000 plus tool these days...a few of our younger guys swear by pro press...i ve always been a code guy ,happy to see you the same! take care see ya friday!
Good to see you here. One of my mentors is very close to retiring like your self, and I’ve convinced him on many other “new age tool” but like you, he won’t budge on using or buying this one😆. Side note I’ll keep,this story short. Just recently We were in a jam & noticed a pipe was leaking, & at the same time we were trying to figure out where these copper lines were going underground. Long story short, we had to use my tool to valve off one of the leaking pipe not knowing if it was tied in with anything else.😬🤌🏼
Nice job. All that work and cost for a grill! I was thinking about doing this myself at my house, but instead i just fill a few propane tanks a year. Way easier, plus I don’t have a gas line running 75 feet along the back of my house.
These clients don’t have to worry about propane tanks running out when hosting many parties. They also think gas line isn’t as ugly as propane tanks laying around like a trailer park. To each their own I guess 🤷♂️. Cheers
@@HVACRNorth I hear ya. I fill 5 tanks at a time so I always have spares and make less trips. And I’m not trashy, they’re stored away when not in use. Good video dude.
Nice video, and question what is better to run underground for gas ? I had a leak but the last homeowners had black pipe but it leaked bad and I’m new to this please help if possible. Thank you
Underground is nice if done properly & by code. Polyethylene with risers is the only way to do underground gas. Iron is NOT aloud underground. Hope that helps. Thanks
@HVACRNorth lol you are good man! This was during a ot podcast you asked who was on the hundred I think for the candian bill. But I lived in florida. Not a big deal just bustin ya. Glad to see you post vids
Both good for water, iron, & refrigeration. B18 does do a little bigger size pipe, & depending where you are located Refrig. jaws brands are easier to locate or buy depending if you have the m12 or m18.
Excellent job not showing the code out of the book on the screen. Two years ago we finally got our first gas leak at the seam of the casting in a 90° elbow . It was installed in 1919 to 1921. All gas fitting should over 100 years.. 👍
This tool is expensive but considering what plumbers charge AND the fact 99% of them decided to no longer act as a proffesional this makes complete sense to buy to complete your own projects.
@@HVACRNorth Not here in the USA, plumbers do both, at least in the states I know of. Do you and your competitition ace as proffesionals or are most guys arrogant babies that never developed their social skills past the 9th grade? By proffesional, I mean how you act, not the quality of work.
Oh man,your a press guy now! I honestly cant stand any press fittings.We have had 3 failures on 3 different brands ib 3 different areas this year! Only common was they were all 6 to 7 years old! The one fitting cost us 54 grand,took out a fuel monitoring panel and an generator ATS control! My company does not allow there use,so the million dollar question is,who is getting away with using them. If you want burr free pipe,buy an evolution saw! I never ream anymore.I will send you a pic
Hey bud. 3 different brands and why? Water, refrigeration or gas? Yea send a picture to overtime email or mine. I’m an everything guy lol. That band saw was expensive I just say.
@@HVACRNorth nibco,Viega and not sure what the other one was! I love my saw,best $400 i ever spent,it cits steel,stainless steel,aluminum and you will never ream again! Perfect straight cuts everytime! I bought mine originally for building race car parts(ers tubing).Water was its use!
