1 INCH COPPER BALL VALVE REPLACED WITH 1 COMPRESSION BALL VALVE

[@domenicpetruso7751]

Hi Steve, I'm a handyman landlord and your videos have been a great help. I have you in mind every time I change a faucet or a wax ring. All the best from Chicago.

[@johnboykin3128]

Yeah, me too. Steve has taught many land lords how to save thousands.

[@bugattivi7110]

Hey plumbers only lmao joke

[@johnfleming68]

Your the best steve love your videos I've learned some much from the videos thank you!

[@williamdyckman9704]

Steve, your tip of putting dope on compression fitting ring works great. !!

[@johnkrim8377]

William Dyckman ,Most plumbers that know what there doing have been putting dope on any type of compression fitting for the last 60 years or more !👷🏻

[@plumbcrazy375]

Have you tried the 12 volt Milwaukee pipe cutter

[@xcmskim4]

Can’t you just replace the valve handle?

[@Fireship1]

Funny how I learned dope was never to be put on unions or ferrules. After seeing Steve do it, I put it on everything. It keeps the torque tension down and is extra insurance against leakers.

[@halfinchholes88]

Unions and ferrules love anti-sieze. Apply for no troubles

[@lordthorby6199]

You can also wrap it with Teflon tape first than add pipe dope.

[@webbac8491]

I like the idea of the valve incorporating a drain on the outlet side. We can't get them here in the UK. Thanks for the video Steve.

[@MrSuperheterodyne]

Yes, I was thinking that too. Handy when you want to solder nearby and you want a way to get rid of the water. Wish we had those!

[@kansascityshuffle8526]

They also work as a shut off to an outdoor tap. Allows water to drain out on the cold side

[@plumbcrazy375]

Order them online

[@Garrett9339]

I was wondering how you had so many subscribers until I watched this video for all of two minutes. Hilarious and informative. Thanks!

[@davechurchill416]

What do you think of gas fired tankless water heater are they reliable

[@Moe1472012]

Why didn’t you change the handle on the valve

[@lcampm2]

He had an old valve with the same handle too. Must be another reason,

[@kennybrown1881]

Are you using compression to easily swap it, when it goes bad?

[@dklucas1]

🎵 blinded by the light,wrapped up like a deuce another plumber in the night 🎵 😂

[@oldhandyluke]

LOL good one!

[@paintball130]

I'm a big fan of these kinds of compression fittings. You don't see too many plumbers using them that often. i guess they prefer the easier crap like propress

[@jxtdenco6984]

OK Steve I need your opinion. I want to change out an old existing gate valve for a ball valve in a 1/2 copper pipe feeding cold water to my boiler. Should I use the compression type or the SharkBite type? I value your opinion. Thank you in advance!

[@mw906]

why not just solder it? you already soldering the coupling.

[@he-got-a-new-mommy]

Probably because that's what he had

[@Hubjeep]

Why use compression over solder? Unless you don't know how to solder.

[@he-got-a-new-mommy]

@@Hubjeep if there is a fire hazard for one reason. If that's all you have that is another reason. If you can't solder because water in pipes that's another reason. If you ran out of solder that's another reason. Do you think Steve can't solder?

[@Hubjeep]

@@he-got-a-new-mommy Fire hazard is out since he is soldering the repair coupling, and this establishes he can solder and water are not in the pipes. Plenty of solder still on that spool so he's not out of solder. Final conclusion is that it's all he has on the truck. Everything else aside, I don't recall seeing him in such a rush in any other video, odd.

[@lcampm2]

Use solder on the compression and toss the compression fittings. Also if the pipe moved that much a sweat coupler wasn’t needed. Sorry Steve

[@appleztooranges]

Are you against sharkbite ball shutoff valve? I used one 6 months ago and no issues at all.

[@beerbeforebreakfast]

Emergency use. But then again u can use compression for that situation too and it can be permanent without worry.

[@beerbeforebreakfast]

@@plumbbuild6517 i live by this methodology: Solder for new work and high and dry areas if it can be safely done Compression for repairs with any water or difficult to solder areas Push fit for avoiding disaster....not much else.

[@beerbeforebreakfast]

@@plumbbuild6517 propress is on my radar, just haven't needed to pull the trigger to keep the money per hour working as i need. But when it does, I'll be very happy to add that version of work to my life! Appreciate your thoughts, Keep it flowing and dry!

[@jy9687]

Hey Steve do you prefer the brass jet couplings or do you just use the copper ones?

[@jspinosa50]

I like the Channel locks burring removal system, HA HA

[@sydsyd]

I prefer the Sawzall over the grinder!

[@halfinchholes88]

Really? Grab a 6" Metabo with a slicer disc. A frction of the time and less stress on joints upstream and downstream. Game changer!

[@Hubjeep]

@@halfinchholes88 Yup, less vibration!

[@robertcherry4971]

What kind of blade you using on that grinder Steve?

[@WeatherNut27]

I think he had mentioned just any disc that will cut metal. Maybe made of stainless steel discs since he deals with water while cutting. Not sure.

Is the old ball valve bad?

Looks like that truck of yours could use some new shocks it’s really bouncing and rolling thanks for the videos

You're a cool guy, Steven.

Hi Steve a nice little job will done and really good to see miss molly in a pretty pink coat from her extensive wardrobe .👍

[@ut561]

good how to video but the best part was the puppy :)

[@mp289634]

First time I’ve ever seen someone use a grinder while fitting cooper pipe. I’ve got to admit this is some hack shit

[@noahholt482]

If you watch he explains why

[@lcampm2]

Have you ever just took off the new handle and put it on the old one?

[@kevinkowalski5913]

Nice job Steve quick and easy

[@TheBuildingExpert]

Great work 👍

[@edjovi3677]

steve you need a pro press its would 2 min job same price ed bon jovi leak master plumbing

[@danielvelezdiaz5851]

No hangers to support pipe,and no fire extinguisher to prevent fire. Safety first always!!

[@bobniles1928]

I would have used a Jet Sweat to install a solder ball valve.

[@bossmantrucker656]

Yep 👍 you should sign up for American Idol lol 😂✌️

[@Albrecht8000]

Steve keeps America going!!! 3:30 What do you think about buying a ratched pipe cutter? Stay healthy, big one. :-) Greetings from Germany

[@nilolee2426]

Good enough for this neighborhood! 😂

[@jimjackson4256]

Why not just replace the handle?

[@givemeinformation]

He probably could have but like he says "when in doubt cut it out" It was old so I imagine he was thinking just replace it and not worry about it.

[@metallitech]

That's a Taj Mahal level of tightness.

[@donnierobertson3088]

Great job and video like always

I used to screw with the scammers, but it's so mentally taxing, that's it's not worth it!! No matter what you say, all they want to do, is tell you, their bulls*it!! As much as we pay cell phone companies, it seems like they could do a better job of blocking spam callers or make sure if I block them, that they call someone else!!

A friend keeps blocking them I told her she is wasting her time they never use the same number now

[@buffydog21]

@@waltradcliffe4482 I block them too, but they got a way of cloning a new local phone number, even though they're calling from a different state or overseas. I can't even answer my own phone without it being a scammer or a salesman trying sale me bulls*it, that I don't want or need.
