Pretty Cool! I was at Lowe's one day and they had a 3/4" PEX Crimp Kit on clearance for $3. I couldn't believe the price so I took it to the cashier to ask if it were correct and bought it when she said it was. I figured it might come in handy some day. I'm not a plumber so I have not used it yet, but it was interesting to see how it worked. Thanks
Nice installation Steven. Soldering pipe in the future will be a "thing of the past" in another 10-15 years. It almost already is with lead and okum for cast iron drain pipe.
Steve - have you ever used Wirsbo? Plastic Pex line that you flare out with a flare tool then it shrinks around the fitting. No crimp rings. One less thing to rot out.
I had a wild bunny like that in my yard for years. Named her "Mrs. Tweed" because she looked like she was wearing a tweed coat. I gave her carrots and lettuce but she wasn't interested. She just liked to nibble the grass.
Very nice Steve. I haven't seen you mess with any Pex yet. I notice you do A/C & plumbing soldering with the same torch & gas. What do you use? Sure looks easier than lugging around 2 tanks of oxygen & acetylene. I want one! Thank you man!
good video, my only critique would be to speak up a little more so we can hear you, and to explain in more detail what you're doing and what you're using. I had a hard time hearing. but over all very well done.
this is a great video I'll say that but I do have to say stay away from that cheap crimp stuff yes it's pex but get Worsbo Pex A pipe but love your videos Steve I like to watch them to pass time and learn code for other states
a little more detail in explaining would be good and cut out the 2 mins of drilling would help too, but I just fast forwarded it. I was waiting to hear about how the clamps work and I'm assuming you need a special tool~ I did learn a little something, thanks!
Seeing the whole job from start to finish is a very valuable thing. Channels like this old house glaze over a lot of stuff that are important steps. This guy is a full time plumber that edits and posts videos everyday when he gets home. Its a lot of work.
Shark bites are rated for inwall use, I'd use a shark bite fitting in wall way before I'd trust a sinch clamp, lots of failures with those style. Shark bites are also rated direct bury if wrapped.
