Plumbing with Phil ECP 7

[@PLUMBEROO7]

Hey,this is my channel. It is more of a repository thing meant for some friends.Not much editing involved.kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKbcm3iAibaAg8U

[@simonsays2374]

theses pod cast should be way longer .. i really enjoy them .. thanks guys .

[@adambell2068]

Please have Phil on this podcast as much as he is willing to appear. There is just something about him that whether he is talking about plumbing, stories as a kid, drones, whatever-he is a pleasure to listen to. Very much enjoyed this, keep up the good work guys. ABSOLUTE best channels on KZbin hands down!

[@EC2]

Thank you Adam, I'll make sure he gets the message!

[@robertkywildcats9266]

I've been waiting for this episode lol.

[@TokyoCraftsman]

I listened to this driving through traffic in Tokyo today, now I'm watching it. Phil is the real deal, really enjoyed your conversation. Cheers!

[@zook420000]

i could listen to Phil talk for hours. i find this stuff fascinating. please have him back again. thanks for the vid

[@kennethgreer]

I've been waiting for this podcast.

[@marshalltaylor505]

That "gray stuff" (5:49) I think was Polybutylene (PB). Cox vs. Shell 1995. The resin is an engineered polymer (EP) that is chemically one of the best options for potable water ever made. It was the aluminum clamps and other fittings that caused the issue, but because of the lawsuit, no one will touch the stuff.

[@michaeldougfir9807]

When this episode was new I saw it. Now I am back because there was a link at the end of Nate's father's channel. The [8-18-22] episode. I enjoyed Phil in the Spechouse build, in this podcast & as he helped with the full bathroom in the new shop. I am a plumber's son and I helped my Dad a bit when I was young. (Same deal as Phil going to work with his Dad.) So anyway I really enjoy Phil. So thanks for the interviews, plumbing advise and other footage that includes or features Phil. And I always learn something!

[@dcolc4197]

You guys are quite simply fantastic to listen to. Thanks for all the hard work, and please keep it up!

[@EC2]

Thank you we will sure try our best!

[@jassoncaza9742]

One thing probably the best advice I could give young people go out learn a trade. always be able to feed your family

[@royreynolds108]

My advice to younguns in high school is to have a goal but have at least one or two other things, hobbies maybe, that you could fall back on to make a living instead of just one thing. I pretty much specialized in my degree and got caught in the economic downturn.

[@psidvicious]

Good stuff guys. Phil so reminds me of ‘all’ the plumbers I ran across in my career in const. Funny how they all just seem to come out of the same mold 🤔 🤜🤛

[@rustyshackleford5060]

Keep up the good work!

[@realdeal8078]

I want to apprentice under this guy.. Seems like a great all around plumber.

[@63256325N]

Very cool. Phil is quite a guy. Thanks for posting.

[@EC2]

You bet, thanks Duncan

[@bradleyniven7942]

That intro! Has anyone complimented your song because it is a timeless intro. Feels like something Ive been listening to for years.

[@EC2]

Thank you Bradley, we are really proud of it. One of these days I'll discuss how it came to be!

[@matejbursa]

@@EC2 Speaking about the music, could you please tell me what is the song at the beginning of this your video kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4WxY56Vga16mqs ? I believe I heard it in more of your videos. I tried Soundhound but it did not help much :( You have a great channels. Keep up the good work! :)

[@cra5hproductions]

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! I have been following you guys since I stumbled on some of your first videos on KZbin. And I have been hooked ever since. You guys have inspired me to not only learn the ways things are built, but also learn and understand why things are done the way they are. The Essential Craftsman videos are just filled with valuable information that takes people years to accumulate and soak up on their own. Bravo, gentlemen. Bravo.

[@onZampie]

Phil was a great guest. And good work on the audio Nate, you hardly noticed anything was off!

[@nimrod275]

I can listen to these guys all day long. I really enjoy the podcasts and the build series on essential craftsman. Thanks for the content!

[@scruffy6151]

Essential Craftsman show a lot of things but, EC2 goes into more detail why things have changed over the years. Plus we get to listen to why thing's are done the way they are. Plus the back story of the subcontractors helping on the job.

[@alm000]

Been enjoying these, Really cool what your doing, Thanks :)

[@kmagnussen1052]

I have seen and done what many plumbers have to do the dirty sewer type jobs. I have a lot of respect for someone that has to endure those literally crappy situations. I grew up and did the college route, no I did not make much money and was abused by corporate megalomaniacs. I went to high school with a kid that his grandfather, father, and uncles ran the company plumbing business. On occasions he would show up late to school because he was out on a job with his dad. The other kids would give him a hard time because frankly he needed a shower. I recognized he knew the plumbing business and he would ultimately inherit the family business. At that moment I wondered who would be more successful. It was not me. Plumbing is a job that is local by design; you cannot export it to India. Even if you go to college it is always good to have a trade as a backup Thank you to all of the honest hard working plumbers. It sure beats chamber pots! Oh great channels. This a unique time in history where anyone with a good head can learn and do almost anything after watching it on the internet.

[@bobolander]

another vote for a longer format, Phi's great have him back!

[@esigman1]

Phil is such a fun guy and reminds me a lot of my father. When I was a kid I had to go to work with my dad if I was sick on a school day because my mom was a teacher. I had to clean all the copper fittings and sort out the PVC elbows and line up the pipes in the truck by size. I would spin the pipe cutters, play with the flint sparker for the torch, and open and close the jaws of his pipe wrenches. We would go to the Sportsman club for hot dogs and a Coke (Michelob for him of course) at lunchtime. I would get a lollipop at the counter of the supply store where everyone knew his name while I spun around like a top on the stool. Those were the days.

[@junebugg2446]

I just discovered your channels, I saw the most recent episode with Phil and had to go back and watch all the past videos with him in it. Really like your channels and think Phil needs his own youtube channel.

[@integrafan2770]

The grey pipe in trailers i believe was polybutylene. Great discussion. Awesome seeing some fellow southern Oregonians love the new podcasts!

[@EC2]

Thanks Dustin!

[@kazukarukelley]

Well Done NATE! The re-recording was done well! Great job with speaking like you were still right there in the moment!

[@EC2]

Thank you!!

[@mattlowry8256]

Been watching since 10k subscribers, and I'm still here!!! Thanks for all you do.

[@spyem1]

Been eagerly waiting on this one! Listening to Phil talk about growing up on the job site reminds me of my childhood. I'm a bench jeweler and I grew up in the family jewelry business learning from my dad in the exact same way. Sized my first ring when I was 12. He taught me everything that he could, and I'm thankful for it. I never went to school for it and never made it to college, but today I'm one of the best jewelers in my area. I take pride in knowing that when I send something out the door it's done right and looks great. Anyway I would love to hear more of what Phil has to say! Thanks guys.

[@neogx148]

just found this channel and was really interesting to hear what scott had to say

[@CP-du3ci]

Here in the Highlands of Scotland we have water effectively straight off the hillside rather than via deep bore abstraction. As a result we have high peat content making the water slightly acidic and no minerals to neutralize it. Copper in my area will only last 20 years, something I found out to my cost when the pipe developed a pin hole in an area that wasn't apparent until the torrent fell from the ceiling destroying a bathroom and kitchen. I will only have our version of PEX installed now.

[@glennricketts3735]

Got to love the honest answers and the gob smacked reactions.LOL

[@HardHeadMilitary]

EC, can you do a pricing guide on your spec home? Run through each phase, what it would cost without the supplier discounts, the market evaluation/appraisal.. also the land price? It would be a great video.

[@carladelagnomes]

I hope you have more interviews with Phil. Great content!

[@John_Montgomery]

just met with our inspector hear in socal. (electrical contractor).. he commented that he was glad to see that the plumbing was in copper and not pex. His comment was that the plastic piping would leach out toxins .. True??

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Great conversation and video

[@trailblazingfive]

This is so wholesome - love the podcast :)

[@gc7782]

Phil is a great guest! Speaking for myself, I would be interested to learn more about cast iron and which types are recommended. Thank you!

[@PlumbusRunner]

I love what you guys are doing. Great setup. Keep up the good work.

Thank you Jeremy, will do!

Alright, found your podcast! Subbed, love your content, would love to meet you guys one day. Much love from Washington

[@stephenwagar2663]

I Really Like Phil !! He Is One Down To Earth Fellow ! I Once Had A Boss Like Phil I Would Make A Comment And He Would Say " Thats More Truth Than Poetry "

[@GarrethandPipa]

lol I had forgotten packing the fitting with hemp and leading it until phil just mentioned it.

[@mastertech.81hvacr8]

I’m a Master HVAC/R Mechanic out of New Jersey. It costs the boss around 160k/year to have have me, and I found this conversation very truthful. Would love to hear from Mechanical Contractor.

[@gabewhisen3446]

The awesome thing about plumbing is it's an open book test , which makes for an open book life I guess that translates to the test makes you look at the code book , and surprisingly some of these kids actually want to work

[@645hughes]

With regard to the instantaneous water heater(gas) I would recommend you look at the Worcester Bosch brand. They're pretty much the staple here in the UK albeit in their high efficiency condensing combination setup. I'd also suggest you pipe the 'boiler' into an unvented cylinder, this way you'll have mains pressure hot water at all your taps... or faucets as you say on your side of the pond. Just make sure the system is sized correctly for expected use. Really enjoying this channel and the 'main' channel too. All the best from Ayr, Scotland.

[@dorsetengineering]

Alexander Hughes mains pressure cylinders are the norm in the US, if you showed them an open vent system with a header tank they would look at you all weird :)

[@xXAnchormonXx]

Two things for your tankless setup. I’d highly recommend a Navien 240A, it should be sufficient for your homes needs. 2. If the water is harsh your going to want to install a Naviclean before hand which is a water treatment filter designed to extend the life of the stainless heat exchanger. I have a few hundred of these installed in my county with no issues, if I can help in anyway just ask.

[@CraigHuey47]

As a 15+ year machinist, and having a best buddy who's a plumber, I'll second Phil's opinion

[@zacharyloveland6453]

Charlotte pipe makes a no hub cast iron pipe called “quiet pipe” that we installed as vent piping in a rehab hospital. Not sure how great it works but it’s supposed to be more quiet than pvc.

[@silveravnt]

Here in OK almost all houses are slab on grade. I've talked to two people who have had gophers chew through their pex under the slab. I've been told that if you run the underground pex through a PVC pipe it helps alot.

[@EC2]

Great idea - love it

[@abenzuoo]

How Phil can be that cool

[@robertkywildcats9266]

If you wanted an electric water heater backup, you wouldn't have to use it as a storage tank. You could put a Tee with a shut off on the line coming into the gas water heater. Then do the same with the line coming out of the gas water heater. Of course you'd want shut offs on both sides of the gas water heater in-between these Tee's. Then you could replace your gas heater while running your electric. Easy to do with PEX.

[@Aepek]

Remember when we got babysitters when Mom & Dad went out for the night. Our treat was TV dinners from the oven (as didn’t own a microwave), hooray! Also, the babysitters were the typical you’d see in 80s/90s movies: sit/lay on couch watching MTV talking on the corded phone to their boyfriends, while we were doing whatever during day, & in rooms at night.....back when kids played outside from sunup to sundown😂, cuz that’s what we did; & only tv we could watch was PBS, or other educational shows. Now we did watch tv shows, but only with parents & usually the ABC TGIF shows Friday night from 8-10pm, lol. Wow, times were different back than....but had a good time building forts, going to parks, etc....”a little more simple” I’d say, but nothing wrong w/ that😉👍🏻 Cheers✌🏼

[@charlesmiller5078]

Back then we learned how to talk to people one on one, and that paid off later in life. Having grown up in Central Florida mid 50s to mid 60s, we never really knew how good we had it. It was all you could do to change out of your school clothes and get outside to find out with your friends what we were going to do.

[@shanegillespie6014]

I was going to say that Phil needs a channel but then you said he had one. Where's the link? I really enjoy this video and looking forward to many more like it.

[@RodneyFisk]

Polybutylene = the gray pipe

[@alantrimble2881]

Polybutylene pipe is fucking hideous, even when properly installed with copper clamps and lots of hangers.

[@kmagnussen1052]

@@alantrimble2881 The major problem was it was frequently stored outside and the UV weakened the polymer then it would break along the seams. It would start as pin holes. I had to re-plumbed my house because of this crap.

[@brianbob7514]

Thanks Phil :)

[@jordancypihot496]

how do you motivate yourself to keep working as a carpenter after all those years? ive been doing concrete forming for 3 month now and i just dont understand how somebody can do it for so long ?

[@TThomas939]

You enjoy it

[@psidvicious]

Concrete forming may not be the thing for you. For what it’s worth, I would encourage you to stick with it just a bit longer. Just so you have that skill firmly under your belt. Then if it still just doesn’t feel right, move on to something else you think you might enjoy. Also keep in mind that it’s only natural to not to thoroughly enjoy something that you’re not completely proficient at. Maybe as you get better at it you’ll enjoy it more. 🤷‍♂️ I hated formwork when I first found myself doing it but ended up making a successful career with it. 🤜🤛

[@RobertBarth1]

Just curious... haven't looked at the drone footage yet, but wondering why the footage would matter for KZbin monetization?

[@ILikeWafflz]

5:50 YES. That stuff is junk. We've gotten a lot of flooded out floor jobs from those bursting.

[@clydedecker765]

Anything you do is great education as well as entertainment. Now, Phil.... Look at the camera when you talk to the audience... You're doing a great job, you're highly intelligent, you have a good voice, and you ain't that bad looking so .. get comfortable and look at US when you are talking to us. 🤣🤣

[@torque350hp]

Yeah, I wondered if modern cast pipe would be as good as old stuff. Now, the local climate doesn't have big temperature swings as I recall so does that mean insulating ratings and the like dont need very high ratings? And is it a warmer or colder climate? Just wondering.

[@AlexSmith-mi1rm]

The overhead footage of the house build is just great - many thanks for that. Do you have the teaser link somewhere to the footage that Phil has shot? I know we would all love to see it.

Im looking a buying it. Is it a work coat or is it one of the carhartt fashion coats cheers

[@covcarpenter9158]

Also your dads shoulder pain thing. Might that be caused by the braces or suspenders. Maybe thats why he doesnt wear suspenders on his occidental leather bags. Thats food for thought.

You know it's a liberal government law when your motivation determines whether you can do something. If you're doing it for kicks, fly the drone. If you may make some money, you can't fly the drone, but you can look at the pix from the drone on another page. Utter abandonment of critical thinking skills & liberty. End rant. Love this guy. Please feature him some more.

[@TwoKnowingRavens]

I'm only a youngster in the trades but I've been working mostly independently since I was 15-16 and now I'm 37. I'm a carpenter, but I've always done plumbing as part of the jobs I work. I only use copper and I've never had to repair anything I've done yet. I don't think the science is well known on Pex pipe - including by plumbers. It absolutely leeches toxic materials into the drinking water. Copper is naturally antimicrobial , pex isn't and is prone to mildew inside the lines when used in homes where the water gets turned off seasonally/drained. I would not use pex in a house with small children especially the endocrine disruption caused by the "forever chemicals" from the plastics are highly damaging to hormone production. I predict they will be banned in the next 10-20 years just like lead solder was, once we understood the dangers.

[@williamhayes4017]

Really seems hung up on the turbulence thing causing problems/leaks.. These issues 99% of the time are due to water chemistry. Acidic water from wells, chloramine etc and god knows whatever else from city supplies that oxidize copper are what cause these pin holes and leaks. Out of my 25-30yrs of plumbing 5 of it was spent installing and servicing water treatment equipment was tremendously helpful to understanding these things. Water chemistry and it’s effects on materials is far more complicated than most people know. With the exception of a bad solder joint the fittings are rarely where these pin hole/leaks occur. If type L copper is springing leaks you have some very aggressive water. To point at a 1/8” thick brass drop ear Ell and say turbulence is gonna cause a leak because of not deburring the inside of a copper pipe is bonkers. And wipe your fittings after soldering when they are still good and hot! Get the flux off. Cause that acid will oxide the pipe as well.
