Thank you, finally someone actually shows replacing entire assembly and not just repacking the valves. I also appreciate your in-depth explanation on how you can tell if it’s a cracked pipe versus valving issues right up front.

@fromdil6470 2 дня назад

Wow, you've done an amazing job here. Thank you for making things so simple. I had to watch many videos to understand what's going on, but yours was the best. I wish I had watched it earlier. Please keep up the great work!

@Hammerpedia День назад

Thanks for the kind words

Best plumbing instruction video I have seen. Just subscribed. I would have installed a 1/4" turn ball valve and access panel for future access. That's just me...

@rtel123 3 месяца назад

thanks for a good video, but wondering why not just solder a female threaded connector inside and screw in the new faucet? Saves the valve from solder heat stress, only that one solder joint, and might save another sheetrock cut later.

@attheendoftheday8969 22 дня назад

Good point. Now wondering about different options myself

@321chol 2 месяца назад

Hey @Hammerpedia how did you know it was a sweat connection before cutting the drywall to see it? And along that same thought, is it possible to find out if you have a screw in without being able to see the line inside the house? (i.e behind drywall)

@dariandarian9558 6 месяцев назад

What software do you use for drafting your plumbing videos ? I have a customer that I would like to demonstrate the planning/reviewing for his plumbing project 👍 Thank you for your videos! They are great

@nicholasmarshall3191 22 дня назад

1st rate video! I have that same problem, but our kitchen cabinets were built around where the hose bib enters the house. 2 plumbers have looked at it and scratched their heads. Apparently, it cannot be replaced without tearing out some cabinetry. 😢

@michaeltammaro482 Месяц назад

Excellent and informative - Thank you. My hose bib is leaking from the spindle when I turn it on EXACTLY as to your description of a burst pipe due to not disconnecting the hose BUT there is absolutely NO water coming into my inside wall where the housing passes through THANKFULLY. Frankly, I'm baffled. It's NOT coming from the packing nut. It LOOKS like it's shooting out from the holes in the spindle that turns (OPEN/CLOSE) within the housing of the hose bib assembly.

@jakecasper8416 25 дней назад

Can you use pipe connections without soldering?

@jmaus2k Месяц назад

Why not use the threaded connection so if this happens again they can just thread in a new spigot? Also did you measure the level and make sure it drains out? That is a critical step and that could be why it froze up in the first place.

@garysimmons3023 4 месяца назад

Great and thorough video. I’m confused thought because I didn’t see you adjust the slope. I thought the last one failed because it didn’t drain properly. Won’t this one fail too now?

@theironkiwi2948 27 дней назад

There is an angled spacer that goes behind the faucet, which creates the slope.

@jamesscheidt4278 10 месяцев назад

Great job. Do you have one for a leaky one of these?

@Hammerpedia 10 месяцев назад

Not yet, in the works.

@skydivingcomrade1648 2 месяца назад

Extremely white bread stuffed in the water pipe is helpful to keep it dry and dissolves with water flow.

@donwolfjr1 10 месяцев назад

I guess I'm gonna need to replace my outside spicket now!! Excellent video and WELL done!!! I'm receiving your emails now but forgot to subscribe!! Lol. PS... I'm subscribed now!! 🙂😉👍

@Hammerpedia 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for subscribing :)

@mpxz999 29 дней назад

My original spigot enters the basement JUST BELOW the plywood subfloor of the level above. This prevents me from achieving any kind of slope away from the home. In this situation, would I still a new hole, lower than the original spigots penetration, and then fill in the original penetration?

@KewlQT Месяц назад

I just cannot locate the inside end of my freeze proof spigot for replacement. I know it's inside the utility area of my basement but I have no reference points and so many wires & pipes in a small location. Any tips?

@filamfamadventures1097 2 месяца назад

What would the charge for something like this? I am not looking for a formal quote just curious. I was quoted a little over $500.

@robertwaldvogel3619 2 месяца назад

Mine isn't like that at all. Under a crawl space where I can't pull the pipe out and what I have there's no pulling the pipe out so I have cut the pipe where it is and try to install one where there's soldering.

@r1kid516 6 месяцев назад

What’s this software?

@Hammerpedia 6 месяцев назад

sketchup

@davidbutler1209 3 месяца назад

What if you have no leaks, but top of faucet is broke, has no cap for the top...

@vietcong411 3 месяца назад

Why not just unscrew it? Isn't the screw on piece soldered already?

@KE-op4vb 7 месяцев назад

Why don't you use a shark bite coupling instead of soldering

@michaeltammaro482 Месяц назад

What if in the future the housing (the whole hose unit), has to be replaced AGAIN? When you unscrew it from the wall and the water connection I would HAVE to believe a SOLDERED connection vs. a SHARK BITE connection would be less likely to leak when you're done. No?
