Good vid. Some people might need to make sure they aren't violating code by removing it.

💯👍

I run RV parks. Every year the health department rolls through and makes us spend a lot of money reinstalling these after tenants and guests have removed them. The whole thing is stupid.

watch me touch poop with my finger

Where do you find parts for old rv fridges ? 1986 domestic .

What if you can’t find the thermostat? It’s a 1986 fridge . Freezer works but bottom not cooling .

Very good job!

Thank you! I absolutely hate the one like you replaced - it soaks me every time I turn on the faucet, which is a lot, since our dog likes to drink from the faucet so I'm getting sprayed multiple times a day & it really sucks during the winter!!! I just ordered the Spigot Master so fingers crossed it finally stops the constant leaking with high costs associated to those 24/7 leaks and stops the spraying! Now just waiting for my order!!!

Saved me $$$ and the headache of how to get our broken vacuum breaker off. Able to replace it and a year of leaking resolved.

My anti siphon was tightened and crimped on. Can't take it off. A crazy attachment. My dad owned a plumbing shop from 1947until 1996 when he passed. These new codes are just odd to me.

This guy is legit

I’m curious if the milky clear mp-6 medium body multi-purpose would work the same It says for pvc cpvc & abs I had to get it because I was in a pinch in a small town & that was only option to replace some pipe before I found this video

Can’t get any simpler EXCEPT, like all the other terrible videos you don’t start at the beginning. How to get the damn bulb cover off to get to the wiring. DUH!

These backflow preventors are horrible design

Thank you very very much will be highly recommending your channel to a lot of people

I replaced my thermoster. I also replaced thermostat. I’m at 50 degrees in fridge. The freezer works great. The pipes are hot so it’s expanding ammonia. What about the fan? I’m also it to the point of swapping for a residential fridge and we Rv full time. I have norcold N8XF

Thank you for the video.

I was just gonna plug the pex tubing into the hole but was worried about it slipping out, great solution!!! I didn't know you had to drill it out either, thanks for the vid!!!

I’m lucky if mine will get below 50. It runs and cools and I checked the thermister last year according to the chart but it checked good. I’m found a test run before a trip and the first day I turned it on it hit 50°. The second day I put several waters on the top shelf and struggled to get below 60°.. it’s so unreliable I’m stuck using a cooler or may have to break down and buy a new unit which is crazy expensive. This caper is only a couple years old and was purchased new. It never has worked good.

Finger licking

I essentially achieved the same thing. I took it apart, removed the rubber bladder then filled the tiny holes liberally with JB Weld. Works like a champ!

I got some gorilla glue caulk that will fix that crack real quick

I need the links to those videos

I’d love the video. Good job.

I tried an easy-out at first but the set screw wouldn't budge. Luckily I found this video. It took almost an hour to drill out my screw but it finally worked. Thanks for posting this video.

What a clusterfuck you are! No gloves! Not eye protection! No mask! I wonder how you got that ABS "glue" out of your nose hair? I wouldn't let you anywhere near my RV or my Shop!

Best KZbin video I’ve seen so far, thank you so much!!!

Thank you from 10 years in the future. Got that piece of crap off my faucet and now I'm running leak free.

I knew I should have shut this video down when this guy started dropping disparaging remarks about handicapped people. But then he goes on to spew more ignorance and recommending people use a known carcinogen (PB Blaster, that can be fatal if swallowed) on their hose bib that he's removing the backflow protection on...

THAT WHAT MY TANK IS DOING, WATER IS COIMIG OUT RHROUGH THE VALVA STEM, YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE I HAVE SEE , IT A BAD BLADER AND LEAKING,THANKS AGAIN, JUST HAVE TO FIND, THE RIGHT VALVE FITTING ONTO P OF THE TANK FOR THE, FOR THE WATER LINE WHEN I CAN BUY A CHEAPER TANK.😎

Think about some of the words you use. What a foul video.

Drilling out the setscrew is a rookie move. Over drill and you will be calling a plumber. Simply use a cut off wheel on a dremel to cut a slot in the set screw. Then use a screwdriver to back it out. It works because I've done it.

1:32 #1 cause of water back siphoning are fire truck pumps pulling water from a plug. Contaminating the public water supply with yard chemicals like roundup and fertilizers is the concern, not sewage. It also allows the firetruck to draw more water to fight a fire because the anti-siphon will close the pumps are not sucking air from everybody’s yards. You might feel different about it if it’s your house on fire.

I'm not mechanically inclined. However, after watching this video I decided to go it alone and bypass paying a plumber. Following the instructions worked like a charm. Thanks for helping me save $$. 👍

In my OSHA30 class there was a case we discussed about a dude that died from arsenic poisoning. He had a bottle of pesticide hooked up to his hose spraying his yard. Since it was hot out, eventually he went inside and had a cold glass of water from the tap...he didn't know there was a fire 2 blocks away, and the use of the hydrants caused backflow conditions. The pesticide got sucked into his potable system, and it killed him. I'm sure it doesn't happen very often. It can happen though. I'm glad backflow prevention is taken more seriously nowadays

If you spray insecticide, or fertilizer with you hose in yard,you need a blocker on it,if not the posion will be sucked in the house!YOUR DRINKING WATER, WAKE UP DUDE....

7 years in and this video is STILL saving asses. Good job, dude, you saved me a lot of trouble.

outstanding tutorial, TY

Can this be causing the horribly loud noise forcing me to turn the pressure up all the way?

What could be wrong? I have water leaking from the outside copper line that runs into the float valve, where the nut attaches the copper line to the float valve on the outside of the cooler.

What if all those work but still no cold

I don’t have a set screw, it’s completely smooth and leaks like crazy. How do I remove it?! I have little hands, I’m not strong, I don’t have someone else to help and I can’t afford to hire someone. Also, did you somehow turn off the water somewhere else before you started this? If I unscrew the handle, water comes out

Thanks for the video. I can't find the PipeWeld ABS spray anywhere. Please provide link where it is avialable....

I can see only - ONE - PROBLEM REMOVING THE ANTI SYPHONING DEVICE. "IT IS ILLEGAL TO TEMOVE IT ! " And by the same token as having insurance, you don't need it.. until you do... and if by any chance, Your "no antisiphoning" spigot can be traced to be the source of some kind of locally spreaded water borne disease... hey ! you are in for a very fun, expensive and long LEGAL PROCESS... SOOOOO what do you think ?

Hi, thank you for your video. StraightForward. Do this fridges have fans?? My freezer is working on both electric and gas. The problem is the refrigerator section is not cooling off.

Ours is don’t have that screw or allen head screw. You got an idea how to remove it?

Its illegal here ,state ,local and federal. If you're caught the water company will pull the water meter , but caveat emptor . This is the internet after all.

You can definitely remove those set screws, it's just an absolutely terrible Idea to try to remove a small fragile rusted screw with an impact driver. You need slow constant force, the exact opposite of what you did

Are you an Rv Technician ? Because you are supposed to use Ice water to test THermistors. and Touching the cooling unit and seeing if it is warm does not mean it is working, it can be crystalized and not cooling and still have a warm cooling unit. Heating Element not a coil. And By Flue do you mean Burner ?
