Excellent video! Thank you! Exactly what I needed. 🏆

WAY COOL, DUDE!!!!!!

I have 2 red wires and 2 black wires on my heating box. My relay + transformer wants me to connect L2 to its blue wire, L1 to its black wire, and load to its red wire. How do I tell which wire is the L1, L2, and load wire on my box?

I liked your design it's a cool thing to have on a step ladder very handy piece of kit, you should patent it 👏👏👏👍👍👍

Presenting a good argument for not using SharkBites. Soldering copper pipe is always the best.

As a non-Christian (non- organized religious actually), I cannot help but pay tribute to those who share their expertise. Of course, whether I am a religious person or not is irrelevant to enjoying and benefiting from your excellently informative videos.

Yes, I would not stand on that step but rather I would think there is a possibility of catching my sleeve on the wing nuts while climbing up/down the ladder.

Nice video. Suggestions: turn around the bolts/wing nuts so the wing nuts are under the platform to minimize exposure to you and catching your clothing, especially when you are up on a ladder. Also, I would round both corners facing you to minimize exposure to sharp 90 degree edges that you could come into contact with.

Fantastic solution, thank you

excellent! Being an expert is one and be able to concisely explain it the way you did is another level. Thank you, so much. Im left with the same situation in my 60 year old house.

Mistake #1: Using Sharkbite fittings in the first place.

Pex pipe does not come in just coils. It comes in 4ft and 8ft lengths at home depot

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!

Such a good idea

What type of screw was that? (It kinda looks like a machine screw, but that can't be right.) And how'd you get it into the stud so easily? Looks like you're hardly pressing on the screwdriver at all while screwing it in. Did you pre-drill a pilot hole?

Excellent. But can this stripper strip those three wire stranded cables used in geysers and air conditioners ?

The exact video i was looking for, TY!!

Nice job… it’s always helpful to get a refresher although I was never an electrician I was a lineman so I often act like a know-it-all… except for codes

WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE ROUND PLASTIC CABLE CLAMP USED AT VIDEO MARK 3:35? WHERE CAN I PURCHASE THIS STYLE CABLE CLAMP? PLEASE HELP

Cheap is as cheap customer 😂😂

Thank you for sharing

Smart. I love rechargeable lights, mine last a long time.

Brilliant

Dave, great job. I am working through all 33 of these videos.

Thanks, that is so hopeful!

Dont waste your time scraping the copper. all is needed is to have straight burless ends. My whole house is put together with sharkbites. Never have one leak and not once have I ever clean the copper. Scraching the copper the way done in video is going to cause leaks over time Do: Ensure the materials are clean, undamaged and don’t have any foreign objects in them or on them. If the pipe just has dirt or debris on it, you can simply wipe it off with a wet cloth. If working with copper pipe that has old solder on it, use fine sandpaper like 180 grit to remove it. Be extra careful not to scratch the pipe. Check that the pipe is round and free from other scratches, cuts or gouges. Look to make sure there are no burrs or sharp sections on the cut end. The SharkBite deburr & gauge tool allows you to quickly deburr copper pipe with a simple rotation of the tool once the pipe is inserted. Don't: Forget to clean or deburr piping. Old solder, debris, glue and aging pipe can damage the o-ring in the SharkBite fitting, which keeps it from forming a secure connection. Shine up copper with sandpaper or emery cloth like you would if you were going to solder. This can leave superficial scratches on the pipe that could cause a leak between the o-ring and the outer surface of the pipe.

This video addresses the problem I need to solve-Thanks

I can't hear you

What grit is the sandpaper you use?

First you are not following the NEC!!! 6" of free conductor from the dead front of the box. Secong only one wire should be under the ground screw and the others should be pigtailed and finally wago are no different than back stabing wires and will cause heat and fire!!!

I'm completely rewiring a bathroom and have to pull a lot of drywall because somebody made mistake number 5. Of course, they didn't even use junction boxes. Or wire nuts. Just stripped 1/2" of wire, made little hooks, hoooked them together, and taped them. It's disgusting. It lasted for ~20 years so I can just hear whoever it was arguing that it was fine... but there's definite evidence of arcing. Thankfully your videos will help me wire them properly.

No point doing the job if it ain't done right

You yadda yadda’d over the ones that I need

excellent

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much for sharing

I do mostly commercial. What i see most of the time is power goes to the switch box first, then out to the light. Imo that makes it easier to address things in the future or ro borrow power from a switch. Only the blacks hit the switch, with one taped to indicate the switch leg. Neutrals get tied through. I've also seen it done in residential that the line goes into the switch on black, out to the lamp on white, and the other white and black are tied together. Some advantages to this are that you know at a glance whats going to the lamp. The romex that has a white on the switch is the one that goes to the lamp, the black will always be hot because its unswitched.

It's a question I've searched the net about: "How can I renovate a basement if I've no light to do toe work safety". I still don't know...since I'm sawing, drilling, putting studs in...your example shows so little light for safe work. Regardless, I can see that we all have that same issue; thanks for posting.

will it attach to drywall screws in sheetrock?

As a Christian, I can't help but commend professionals that share their expertise. Of all the how to's I've ever watched of any category whatsoever, the procedures and precautions given out here, go beyond doing a decent job, but are enough to save a person from injury - thanks for an exceptional video!.

Why not use a compression fitting valve? The SharkBite type O rings do not have any long term reliability studies yet.

I must be odd. I have zero trouble carrying it one handed, I simply put my hand over the side and in the recess made for that purpose and off I go. It only opens outwards if you pull that way.

The NEC says you "shall" have 6" of free conductor from the dead front of the box, so from right there you are wrong go to plumbing...

Hi. Is there a special tool to tighten the nut under the sink? When i try to turn the base under the handle, the whole catridge is spinning around.

Very useful info

Just what I was looking for!

I think your advice about the need to clean the old sink drain because a gasket will be installed there deserves mention also in the context of the plastic ring below each valve handle. The plastic rings are gaskets, so the countertop surface under the plastic rings needs to be clean (and flat). For example, mineral deposits might need to be removed. The bottom of each of the metal valve collars that will sit on the plastic rings also needs to be clean (and flat). Although the collars probably already are since they're new, they should be inspected to confirm. (In general, everything should be inspected prior to installation.) The gaskets should be inspected for defects too. I didn't watch the previous installation video, so I don't know whether you mentioned this there.

I infer some of the instructions are overly terse. Also, the aerator should probably not be pre-installed by the factory, because a disassembly step is counter-intuitive. Wouldn't it be great if instructions include a warning list of the most common mistakes?

Great to see your mistakes. That is the best way to learn. I recently changed the ice maker of the freezer.. the first ices were black (due to the carbon of the new filter). I should have running the water first (to clean the pipes) before installing the new filter and in the middle of the process ( to clean the new filter first), something not mentioned in the instructions 😢.

Thanks for letting us learn from your experience. 👍
