My 241 should be in tmro! I’m excited. I also ordered the claps that come with a separate jaw that allows you to swivel the tool rather than having to be straight on with the pipe.
What a great video on how to repair from start to finish - the best I have ever seen!! Hopefully a piece of plastic was added to keep the two metals from touching. Great pace, video quality, and great detail - especially the repair coupler. Just excellent teaching!!
Thank you so much Ricardo. Yes we put a rubber piece between the two metals. See you around . FY I. I have an Spanish channel . "Alex the handyman en Espanol". Thanks
I think you could have cut those pipes with compact round or C-style copper tubing cutters like the autocut. Milwaukee, Husky and Rigid also make C-shaped compact copper cutters. I would prefer these because your cut will be perpendicular to the end of the pipe, which will reduce the likelihood of leaks in your press fittings. I see that you said you put a piece of rubber between the copper and the cast iron, but I think it would have been better to try to reroute the pipes a little bit to prevent the same issue from happening in the future. I would have tried to look at where the pipes go into elbows further down the line, cut there, and tried to reposition a longer span of pipe that had at least an inch of clearance from any part of the cast iron so the repair would last for 100 years not for somewhere between 1 and 10 years. Yes, adding a rubber shim between the pipes would theoretically eliminate galvanic corrosion or abrasion to the pipes from movement over time, but I'm not sure if a tiny rubber shim would stay in place, and wedging a shim in a tight spot where 2 pipes were already touching will put stress on the copper line. I like the fact that you used propress here to speed up the repair, but I think a couple minor improvements to the work would lead to a less-fragile repair.
I probably would have put 2 45s in there. Brought it off of the cast iron. Or put a metal separator. But otherwise O.K repair… but it will happen again in another 5-10 years if that..
New pipe repair stil rubbing against the cast iron. To avoid copper pipe rubbing against cast iron, I was hoping you would use copper pipe to make a U bend using pipe bender to bend it and couple that with elbows on both sides
That was not in the quote, it cost more time and money doing that, owner didnt want to pay that, so no, i dont think so, its another service call later down the road, more money that is all, its call job security.
Hello Luis. I don t know if The XL C. works but the smaller kit does. Watch this vide0 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--nQLkwH6vF4.htmlsi=vgZqyCQnF2vLgfd2
