Great!!! I love when this happens…

@aubreyevans9165 Месяц назад

I wanna thank you so much. You helped my comfort level to approach this task. However I couldn't get the old valve off with my tools, so I used my small pipe cutter to cut part of the pipe off(had plenty of pipe left) then followed your instructions, added pipe threading and no leaks. Thanks again.

Thanks for the straight forward lessons on how to replace a shutoff valve. I will be attempting attempting to replace the one for my toilet in the next couple days. Just hoping to find the shutoff valve specifically for my apartment which is on the 2nd floor, if not i will need to shut the water off to the entire house. Wish me luck!

@DIYPlumbingGuy 4 месяца назад

Yes! You definitely need to find that water shutoff, you never know when you will need it. Good luck!! 👍🍀

@MaMa-qh4dy 9 месяцев назад

Good job and good recommendation on the 1/4 turn valve. Also, it never hurts to put some "fritz" on the brass ferrule too.

@DIYPlumbingGuy 9 месяцев назад

1/4 Turns are the best, you know right way if its on or off.

Will it be the same if I am wanting to change the shut off valves under the sink that are stuck? Nice video.

@DIYPlumbingGuy Год назад

Thanks for the support… yes! It will be exactly the same, if not, very similar… it’s not a difficult project, take your time, and if you have questions, feel free to reach out. I can always make a new video covering the things I missed the first time. Good luck!!👍

@laurawhite4118 Год назад

We just had a leak we turned off water heater to stop water but when we turned it back on we now have no water comming to that pipe.what do you suggest.all the other sink and tubs have hot water except the one we tried to fix.watrer is not even xomming up into pipe.thank you

@DIYPlumbingGuy Год назад

Did you replace the shutoff ? when you did, was there any other shutoffs you closed. It does seem weird, that after turning water back on, you don't have water.

@neilmiller6405 3 месяца назад

Hey Carlos can I use a butane micro torch to heat up old soldered valve. Thanks and nice video easy to follow.

@DIYPlumbingGuy 3 месяца назад

I believe you can but it will take longer to heat up, just stick with for a little more then normal and you should see these coming off... Good luck, let me know how it goes.. Thanks for watching. 🛠👍

what are the standard value size ?

@homerepairlife5.098 Месяц назад

What about using shark bite valves? I noticed a lot of plumbers are using those nowadays. Do you like them? For beginners make sure you leave that compression fitting on the top of your valve so when you’re tightening down the main compression fitting, not flattening or messing up your threads so you can attach your water supply line

@DIYPlumbingGuy Месяц назад

I like them… I am looking forward doing videos using them.

@brothermine2292 Год назад

Why is thread sealant needed? Doesn't the compression ring already make a good seal between the pipe outlet and the angle stop inlet, when the nut is tightened?

@DIYPlumbingGuy Год назад

Good question... Even though, it is not commonly used, the manufacturer of the shutoffs recommends the use of threaded sealant on the male end. Check out their installation instructions. d2cl5to9q9oami.cloudfront.net/doc/425.04_WaterStops_INS.pdf

@brothermine2292 Год назад

@@DIYPlumbingGuy : I didn't see a recommendation of thread sealant in the Brasscraft instructions document you linked, in the sections about copper compression inlets and copper compression outlets. The document uses the phrase "if using thread sealant," which implies it may optionally be used. (It warns that if thread sealant is used, you need to clean the threads thoroughly first, and be careful not to use too much.) I assume the thread sealant has no helpful effect unless the compression ring leaks.

@leeb.7188 Год назад

Mine was threaded, not soldered, but I absolutely couldn’t get it off. I soaked it all night in PB Blaster but it still wouldn’t budge. So I heated it with a cheap heat gun from Harbor Freight and it came right off! Just a tip if you have a crusty old valve that’s been on there for 50 years.

@brothermine2292 Год назад

@@leeb.7188 : I appreciate the tip, but it's unrelated to my comment, so it would be better to post it as a new comment instead of as a reply.

@garykrell2058 Год назад

I don't use thread sealant pull the stem then unsolder 😊

@myfamily9393 Год назад

I had to do it today, old rusted supply lines are so annoying

@DIYPlumbingGuy Год назад

Right?!? I super agree, replacing these are not only for maintenance, but also for cosmetic. I like to when they are clean and shiny. 👏

@frederickneal4781 9 месяцев назад

Good job but you need to fix that gap between the wall and plate where bugs and stuff can get inside your house.

@DIYPlumbingGuy 9 месяцев назад

Good catch! You're absolutely right about that gap - it's something we definitely need to address. I would say silicone sounds like a possible solution. By the way, what's your take on how to keep the bugs out, besides silicone? 😄 Plumbing adventures always come with unexpected lessons, right? 🔧👍🦟

@homerepairlife5.098 Месяц назад

Silicone caulk is the best against bugs. They won’t like chewing through it. Rats on the other hand I don’t know. I’m gonna guess not.

@WoodgemanX Год назад

Just unscrew the bonnet and replace the stem with a nylon version($3.00) that includes the washer and packing, done!

@DIYPlumbingGuy Год назад

Correct! Actually that was my first idea for this video, but I decided to show a replacement first. I’ll have another video on exactly that coming up… thanks for the support!!!

@DIYPlumbingGuy 4 месяца назад

You can try to pull it with a channel lock, if it doesn’t work, there is a special little tool they make to remove. I hope that helps!!

@andyallen1772 2 месяца назад

Never apply the sealant on the thread. You don’t understand the mechanism. The thread do not any role on sealing the water. If you really want to apply the sealant, apply on the brass ring.

@DIYPlumbingGuy 2 месяца назад

Yes, I think very similar, however the manufacturer recommends this approach, so I added this step to the video. d2cl5to9q9oami.cloudfront.net/doc/425.04_WaterStops_INS.pdf … thanks for watching!!

@MLawson5 Месяц назад

The sealant acts a lubricant to get a tighter squeeze. Nothing wrong with it

@coldjello8436 Месяц назад

@@MLawson5could you use silicone grease?

@beatahandler2496 Месяц назад

It is a crime to use a sealant. The plumber wanted to charge me $600 because who installed the shut-off valve used it. No Bueno. NEVER EVER use sealant.
