1940s flange replacement turned NIGHTMARE

[@mariofilippi3539]

That flange looks like it was from the Titanic but you figured it all out pretty well. Thanks for the video.

[@coreyk2998]

Great content as always thanks for narrating your thought processes, best plumbing channel on KZbin

[@Germ1993]

I feel exactly the same way about the twist n sets haha. I buy those Sioux chiefs ones up from supply house love em

[@vince6829]

I love your videos. Nice job, as always.

[@bluecrowplumbing]

The bolts were threaded into the flange. We get those almost exclusively up here in Oregon. You can cut them flush and retap if you ever run into one again. Push flanges work too though!

[@Longeno55]

That was like a Murphy’s Law toilet replacement lol! But you got ‘er done bro!

[@aftplumbingofficial]

Should have installed a flushomter toilet, since the original toilet to the building was a Flushometer toilet.

[@christopherjoyce9436]

It looks like there might have been enough space to use a 10" rough-in toilet, avoiding the re-plumb.

[@barryhunt5357]

Great repair, a nightmare of a repair!

[@geraldalfano5581]

Enjoy your videos; you are an excellent plumber and always make a good job of it no matter how bad the situation is. Perhaps more sacrifices to the plumbing gods could spare you so many headaches. Keep up the good work.

[@rsmith7292]

Crazy re-do set up on the supply pipes in the first place! Looks way better after you were done. Just for my own learning, why not just unscrew the remainder of the supply pipe and use a shorter nipple (no pro-press)? Thanks for the video!

[@pershingplumbing9007]

@rsmith7292 i tried but couldn't get any leverage on the pipe wrench. I could only fit my 14" wrench in there and a 1" galvy fitting from the 50s or 60s wont come out without a lot of leverage on a 24" wrench

[@rsmith7292]

@@pershingplumbing9007 oh! Thanks for explaining -- I also thought t might be that you never know if cranking on one joint might cause leaks down the way on older plumbing...

Dam bro, I feel ya. Haven’t had one of those days in awhile but definitely been there and had my a$$ handed to me like that a few times.

Have you ever had the cast iron blow from using those push tights?

[@cominginhot1]

never

[@DravenAutoDIY]

I'm not a plumber professionally and never worked with the steel pipes, so is there a reason why someone wouldn't have just soldered the new pipes instead of cutting the vent to use pressed fittings?

[@grounded-b937]

you can't solder to galv steel. You need to pro-press on an adapter

[@dereksleeth4101]

Hey nice work brother! Have you came across the viega mega press transition coupling IPS to CTS ? I came across them and love them. They are must have.

Great job 👍⚡️💰

[@kevinhornbuckle]

Plastic shims are handy if the floor is not level, but the flange needs to be level.

[@kevinhornbuckle]

I see that you used them under the toilet edge. Very effective.

[@rayavelar98]

Idk how tough it wouldve been to break the 1" nipple loos and throw on a brass street 90 then go from there , in the moment you wanna do what your set up fro , but honestly trynna press in the wall like that aint gonna always be the best go to , love the videos bro

[@rayavelar98]

If your afraid the the nipple squashing from the wrench , smack a 3/4 nipple in there and itll keep the strength up , if its a 3/4 nipple smack a 1/2 nipple and and unthread

[@ronnym1977]

As soon as I saw the 90° reducer elbow I was like "oh f***!"

Are you an actual professional plumber?

im sure he is!!

Nice work.

why not sweat the line,... pro press is cool but soldering would have saved time

After all that angst, this customer is going to block it with wipes within a short time, Just to annoy you more.

[@cominginhot1]

off set flange might of fured the toilet out a bit .

[@pershingplumbing9007]

@cominginhot1 best comment right here. Didn't even consider that, haven't ever used one. That would have worked too

Megapress 90 probably would’ve given you the clearance to not have to cut that steel back further

Someone else patches up the wall? I'd think that should have been done before the tank was set on the bowl... Now it's a real tough job to put in wallboard and compound the joints.
