😂😂 first thing I noticed tio

[@kentaylor1216]

I have cpvc was scared of it but 20 yrs later no issue. I do use pex on any add ons. I also used a sharkbite 10 yrs ago on washer and was unsure no problem as of yet it is in basement so time will tell

[@davenelson4334]

Thank you so much! Exactly what I needed to know

[@oceannesailor]

Awesome. Handy, valuable info...and entertaining 😅 thanks!

[@carolynweaver5061]

I like how you show how to install the different couplings but what if you cannot turn the pipe the way that you are freely turning and pushing them

[@Teach2Build]

You would just rotate the fitting as needed instead. Best of luck with your projects!

CPVC is brittle garbage. I've had 2 failures THIS YEAR alonge. The only thing you need to know is how to put a PEX-A adapter on the shit.

I am trying to fix a cpvc pipe that is in an incredibly awkward spot that is hard to get to. Can a sharkbite be placed over the existed pipe that was previously glued? I know it should be cut back but I'm not sure if I can where it is located. Can it be cleaned or sanded to make the sharkbite work?

[@Teach2Build]

Sharkbites are very handy for tight spots, but the pipe prep must be perfect. I'm afraid you'll need to find a way to get that pipe cut back to fresh pipe. Best of luck!

[@monkeyman6381]

Okay thank you so much! Love your videos

[@seanelucero]

cannot use those cutters on old brittle cvpc , will shatter the pipe

[@Teach2Build]

That's very true, and if I didn't mention that, then I should have. A small hack saw, also called a Johnny saw, makes quick work of it if it's brittle.

I have 2 CPVC fittings at a shower-former exterior shower valve. They are broken off and flush with the wall. Can I heat up a galv. iron nipple and press into the CPVC to create some threads?

[@Teach2Build]

While we've prob all seen the Tik Tok videos using this process on PVC, I wouldn't trust it, myself. Sorry.

[@ottomatic7823]

In California the State holds the fittings together. It creates great, low paying jobs for someone to stand (or sit) and hold the two sections together. They have formed a union, CA Pipe Sitters Union AFL-CIO. Man I hate California!

[@Teach2Build]

Hahahahahahaha!! Yeah, it's changed a lot since I escaped the state...

[@boatymcboatface2836]

Big gap on the depth marks... interesting. About to do some shark bites....

[@Eger118877]
