Man. That trick of wrapping the old ferrule with tape is a super tip. You know, like most people who can't always pay a pro, I've been a DIY-er most of my life. Carpentry, plumbing, electrical, etc. I can tell you it is ALWAYS educational to watch a pro at work. Thanks Leah!!

Hi, Leaha two things, thanks to you I tightened the compression nut and it stopped my water drip at the water supply line to my toilet that was dripping for a couple days. Also, I alone purchased and replaced my toilet. I tried to use a cheap snake from Harbor Frieght but it didn’t work for me that’s why I replaced the toilet. Love you you Leaha. And because of you I actually finished something I started !!!!!

@bradster1708 5 лет назад

Another great and useful video. One tip I got from a Plummer for connections using rubber seal was not to over tighten joint as this would cause rubber to distort and create leak. Great advice considering many guys like to tighten the Cr#p out of any nut.

Thank you Leah! I've been upgrading my basement and part of that included moving the water heater, washer, and dryer and adding a slop sink. I've been using Teflon tape an any and all threads for a couple of years now, without knowing why or when it should actually be used. I also figured out I was using the wrong fitting to screw my washer faucets into.

@mwaguespack504 5 лет назад

I am a licensed master plumber and I use both pipe dope and Teflon tape together. Also pipe dope is used as a lubricant to allow for threaded pipe to get tighter. I use pipe dope for compression fittings as a lubricant so it’s not metal on metal grinding so much. PS I use my channel locks or handle puller tool to get old ferrules off copper. A used ferrule will usually leak even with Teflon

@AStanton1966 2 года назад

I watch another plumber on YT and he does the same thing using pipe dope with tape. Only he calls it "Fritz." He also puts pipe dope on the slip joints found with those cheesy drain pipes you thread together for sinks from the home improvement stores for the DYIers.

@timhardman4764 2 года назад

Jane has a great specialized tool for removing ferrules, it's compact, simple, great for operating in small spaces and easy to store but a little pricey at $40 delivered. see it in her video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y0ikqzSz-DQ.html

@nml4546 5 лет назад

If you stuck all the way to the end, you saw Leah use plumber's tape around the ferril? (sp) to stop small leaks. Great idea to try if you have that problem. I actually had that problem (could not remove the ring, could not replace the copper pipe easily as it was very short sticking out of the wall, so I went to the trusty RU-vid and found that using pipe joint compound around the ring would work, and IT DID. So that's another option for you.

@davidn.757 5 лет назад

Thank You! Yesterday was the first time I ever replaced a water compression valve (for my toilet). Unfortunately, it had a VERY slow but annoying leak from behind the compression nut. Per your idea, I wrapped teflon tape around the ferrule before re-connecting compression nut to valve. It worked! Not even a damp spot to feel. You saved me a sleepless night and a call to the plumber.

@justinlink1616 4 года назад

I've replaced a good number of shut-off valves before but I've just run into a situation where I'm getting a similar leak on one (out of four) that I just replaced and I can't get it to go away. I'm going to try and out now and see if it works!

@smilertiler1 5 лет назад

We have a product in the UK called LSX. it's a clear sealant that comes In tubes similar in size to the two you showed. I find in prudent to add a smear around the olive or on the thread of every compression join as an extra safeguard against leaks.

@bobgreene2892 3 года назад

Excellent camera work and a well-organized narrative. "Bonus" at 6:05 is especially helpful for ferrules which no longer seal effectively. Here is my own bonus tip-- surprisingly often, wrapping pipe threads with Teflon/plumber's tape, first, THEN coating the Teflon-wrapped pipe threads with pipe joint compound is the final solution. This tip comes from several experienced plumbers (who said they seldom had to repair their previous work).

Thank you for verifying tapered pipe threads doesn't seal without teflon..also on my 2004 mustang gt the transmission drain and filler plugs are tapered pipe thread..I've notice alot of people don't put teflon on the plugs..they think just because it tightens it seals automatically..I've replaced these plugs back in the day and when opening the package from Ford it had pipe thread sealant on it..so yes we use teflon in the automotive racing industry and in the home..thank you jane.
