Glad you rebuilt the faucet. Those old deltas are solid.

Really enjoyed this style of vid. Thank you for that

It is neat seeing a slightly longer video instead of a short, even though this was pretty short. As for replacing the toilet, I've got a couple that just can't be cleaned anymore. But, if the customer has one of the old style toilets, he might prefer getting things done in one flush as opposed to the new water saver toilets. I remember a time when folks would go to Canada to buy the old style toilets they were still available up there.

Im glad to know im not the only sevice guy that starts a little later 😂 i know the suns up at 7 but i want to enjoy my coffee damnit 😂😂

Thanks 👍

[@thekiwinomad]

Great videos. Its interesting how you still use wax rings. Here in new Zealand everything is done with PVC and rubber pan connectors. But the outlets are mostly P pans rather than a straight s pan

[@BryanTorok]

I hate wax rings and would really like to find something that works as well on cast iron flanges.

[@thekiwinomad]

@@BryanTorok yeah we have something here in new Zealand with the rubber ring pan connectors. Which are made from PVC with a rubber seal on the end that connects to the toilet pan and rubber fins that sit inside the cast iron pipe (although we don't really have cast iron pipe here that much) also works well with earthenware pipe.

[@TheGuruStud]

B/c it's cheap and works. Wax ring is $2.

[@cmcc1971]

I thought his voice got stuck like that for a second. Man you crack me up. I saw your earlier video of your tool bag tour. Still waiting for a more in depth tour of your tools and the van too. Great job out there. Boy you could do plumbing for me anytime.

[@strifer43]

I’m happy you made videos like this besides shorts . Enjoy both formats but like videos like this as well . Hope you make longer videos either like this or just installing but worth the watch

[@rippinross3238]

I always find it funny how hard the old timers are but you know we gotta give it to them slingin that cast all day for years and years would make me hard too haha. Keep up the good work man!

[@SpadeAce]

If you have a giant screw collection and you can’t fix your faucet, you’ve done life wrong. Thanks for your videos, I’ve actually learned a lot and I do my own plumbing now being I’m so far out in the country it costs $500 just to get a plumber to drive out here.

[@averageguy1261]

Great stuff

[@montgomeryball5496]

You need to protect the toilet seat when rebuilding a tank. Lay a towel across the seat so it doesn’t get scratched. The rubber washer doesn’t go under the nut and metal washer that secures the tank bolts to the tank, they go under the bowl with a metal washer and nut.

[@238victor]

How can I solve my low pressure flush on my toilet? I have a Koehler 2014 - 2016 model: I tried a 25’ auger snake, didn’t clear any blockages. I cleaned the old toilet prior to replacing it with a brand new one as I thought the internals could have been played out and or the holes could have been blocked by lime and mineral deposit. I’ve checked both “stink pipes” on the roof there were no visible blockages in them either. I have people who rent there and they used to flush sanitary wipes down the toilet. They since have stopped. Could my blockages be at or near the septic tank inlet? The toilet also gurgles on the refill which leads me to believe it is clogged to some degree. The toilet in the other bathroom is losing flush power as well, but still gets the job done. (Both toilets are on the first floor, the basement is partially finished and the septic is closer to the weak toilet)

[@slooooendurooo7989]

[@replumb]

@@slooooendurooo7989 could be reading at 80 but spike or change while water is being run. I would check the gauge while you have a faucet open and it’s making the noise. Do you have a thermal expansion tank on the water heater?

[@JJ-Legacy]

Curious, why dope the Tank to bowl? Not hating just curious where people get habits from. I do things people think are weird, but it was because a old timer told me “because I said so” when I was learning. lol

[@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations]

It's completely pointless and just makes it that much more frustrating to work on. From experience, it's best not to do it.

[@loumitch1]

Hello replumb: I noticed you put pipe dope on the gasket under the bottom of the toilet tank. That's something I've never seen before. What's the purpose? Extra sealing?

[@noahholt482]

Keeps it from drying out and sticking

[@PlumbThumbs]

Lol anytime you offer a new toilet instead of rebuild. They think your trying to sell extra

[@replumb]

It’s usually in their best interest, but yeah it’s always a fight

[@mgkleym]

Personally I would rather repair or rebuild something than replace it when it's economically feasible. Especially when it's a durable object like a ceramic toilet that can be brought back to full functionality with the replacement of a few rubber and plastic parts and some bolts.

[@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations]

It's just pointless and wasteful to replace something that works. Good on them for saving it.

[@ricklee827]

Just a suggestion when your rebuild on a toilet and using the bowl as a bench it'd be nice to put a towel on the bowl

[@replumb]

Can’t see it but there is a blue shop rag between them👍🏻

[@topherlowe2497]

Love the video! Do you ever have issues installing a toilet where the flange is flush with the flooring or is a wax ring with extra wax sufficient?

[@replumb]

Extra thick wax ring is sufficient

[@logancoe69]

more of these would be sweet, my days are similar lmfao

[@justinfertig619]

I’m curious, what do you charge on average to swap a toilet if it’s just a straight swap no other complications?

[@thomasozil2614]

I am addicted to these plumbing videos, LOL. I wonder if it's too late to have a career change and become a plumber. I am 36 yrs old himmm🤔 One question though, you guys dont like wearing gloves? You work around human waste.

[@carbb5760]

While a new toilet is probably better. I do think there is some value in preserving what you have instead of sending a toilet to a landfill that could be salvaged. Great video though

[@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations]

No new toilet will be able to match that one. It was made back before the government regulated everything and so they could actually make a toilet that works properly and takes everything in one go. Save those if you get the chance and thank me later.

[@SomeMaintenaceGuy]

I wish the toilets i worked on were that easy to service… cough, cough (villeroy boch)

[@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations]

[@rdoster69]

I’ve asked before but I’m sure w all the comments it’s hard to reply. Are you filming at regular speed and then speeding them up in playback? Also what speed are they in playback?

[@replumb]

Usually around 6-10x speed

[@JustinMock1]

$5,700 is a lot of money, but still not enough to get me to touch someone else's toilet haha

It’s called running a business. Do you try to haggle at the grocery store to get the goods for less than they paid for them? No, you accept that they stock that loaf of bread on the shelf for less than it would cost you you to gather the ingredients and tools necessary to make it yourself. Same thing with your plumber. He’s going to come out and fix the problem for a reasonable fee. He bought all the necessary tools and equipment to do so, and is going to do it in 30 minutes and then guarantee it will work during the warranty period
