Great video. We have old black iron pipe which has been painted over and has lot of 90 degree joins. I think I can smell faint gas at one of these. Is there anything (pipe dope itself?) which can be slathered around the outside of a joint to seal it better or is this a fool's game? Thanks!

Hi Tony. I have a kitchen faucet that has those Cooper Standard Automotive brand quick connect snap fit supply lines serving the several small faucet fittings. One end broke off a line and I am trying to figure out how to replace the line to get the kitchen sink functional. Those lines are real neat but nowhere to be found.

First and foremost, I'd like to thank you for the time and effort you've put into this video. I've had to replace two gabage disposals already, so I'm on my third disposal now, and it stopped working about 3 months ago. I was going to take your advice and purchase the disposal of my choice and then have a handyman install it to cut costs. Then I saw the part in your video where you showed us how to insert an Allen wrench into the bottom of the unit, rotate, and clear the bottom of the gunk in the disposal. 🥴🥴🥴 My disposal works now.🤣

Sorry, this is not right. The olive is doing the sealing. Use jointing compound on the olive. That’s totally over tightened. Over compressing the olive deforms the pipe and makes future remounting impossible.

It was $100 vs $130 (after rebate) for triple the horse power and because my plumber quoted $250 to install it, I installed it myself very easily since I didn't need to replace the sink part and sinkerator all the same fit

Bought a 5/8 compression fitting and when I test on 1/2 inches copper tubing it seems loose. Just wondering what size copper tubing are fitting
@masterflowplumbing9812Ай бұрын
There are different sizes of copper. For plumbing we measure the inside diameter. So a 1/2 inch copper has a 5/8 outside diameter. There is a size that is 1/2 outside diameter but it is typically used in other applications outside of plumbing. Such as refrigeration. Hope that helps.

I hate plumbing. No matter what I do it always leaks somewhere. Either the water line or the drain line. Drip drip drip. Pain in the butt. And trying to fix existing copper pipes that were done equally poorly by "professionals" after the walls are in place is an even bigger pain. I had one copper elbow joint in the ceiling just burst for no reason whatsoever and flood the kitchen. And the house is only 20 years old. I'm currently finishing my basement and need to run some lines to a kitchen area and a bathroom. I am NOT going to use copper pipes and solder. I've had enough of that. I'm going to try running all Sharkbite line.

Hi, I wanna know what would be the situation that the relief valve will need to be replaced? We're buying a house and the inspector said some water sign in the bottom of the relief pipe and suggested that the relief valve might need to be replace. I'm not sure whether we should or should not replace it.
@masterflowplumbing9812Ай бұрын
Relief valves go bad and are typically cheap in price. I’d guess under 200.00 for most plumbers to change. It’s a quick job with a $20 part. Relief valve can spill water for two reasons. Temperature too high or pressure too high. If there is a water softener then an expansion tank should be installed to prevent pressure from the ram expansion to cause the relief valve to open. Hope that helps and thanks for watching.

Wait a minute, let's check out KZbin.......and there you were. I watched your video. Located and pressed the red button. Looked high & low for an Allen wrench to fit....no joy. So I used a flat-head screwdriver socket and some vice grips and voila! It worked like a charm. Just like my garbage disposal does now. All thanks to your wonderful video.

My cold supply line to my kitchen faucet doesn't have a rotating nut on the shutoff valve side. Is there a way to reconnect it with another fitting without replacing the whole line? I'm installing an RO water filtration system and I had to disconnect that supply line to add the feed water adapter under it. Thanks! Edit: it rotates like new, after eventually being freed.

@@masterflowplumbing9812 two wrenches freed it eventually. Not sure what helped most, I was just worried I would break/deform the line when I first tried wrenching it. They are all probably designed to rotate, since their conception.

After a hand tight, I see that the man is still turning the nut a lot more and I would say he is over tightening it. after hand tight, I would say from experience one more full turn is very tight already.

I just decided to replace my water heater fittings with the regular copper soldering method. I It was mainly because I didn't want to cut the existing copper pipe too close to the drywall. So I went out got all the supplies at HD it wasn't cheap $140 for the torch, solder, flux, pipe cutter and fittings. If I was doing this all the time it would be worth it but as a one time thing the Shark Bite would have been cheaper.
