She needs some good piping 😂

[@The1roygbiv]

Great shot at the end of the three states of water.

[@MarkHughes-pb1xe]

You know better than to press that. U tried anyway Cost u about 45 minutes. Looked like a friend job They are always fun.

[@jasonthewiczman5442]

Soldering pipes copper Old school yes

[@01Hokiefan]

Mikey pipes. You need the rigid c1 jaws which work on a m12 press tool. Allows you to get in those tight spaces with press. Rigid 28043. They work with m12 press I see monstah plumbing using them all the time.

[@PipeDoctor]

I am waiting for @Rigid to send me!

[@Hvac-dude]

Good job 😊😊

[@PipeDoctor]

Thanks 😄

[@guytech7310]

So did Mike Pipes turn into Richard Tretheway from "Ask this old house" going on customer calls & getting the customer to participate in the repair?

[@korgmikel]

At 12:56-13:11 I can see a drip in the wall cavity, if you look closely at the gap between the bottom of the shower body and the wall you can see it. From the angle I can’t tell if that’s coming from above or the hot water connection on the shower body.

[@Ariel1S]

Love that you engaged the customer with way and didn't mind them watching and even helping! That's the mark of someone who is really skilled in what they do, they don't mind people watching because they are comfortable with how good of a job they'll do! I would have liked to watch you remove the propress fitting and sweat the other one. Were you not able to record it? Also, use grey PTFE instead of blue on the customer visible parts, or leave a little tail and use that to peel away the exposed part.

[@greghughes9736]

Nice.

[@scottvolage1752]

#1 Make the trades great again Mikey Pipes. Smash that like and Subscribe folks.

[@PipeDoctor]

Hell yeah!

[@crapmaster5000]

Nice job! Most people would have just broken the tiles around and said thats the tile guys job. Sucks that you couldn't get that propress fitting to work

[@PipeDoctor]

Yeah, but I got it done and customers happy

[@StephenWolver]

You should've just have done the hack I saw a couple days ago. Someone decided to solder a propress fitting.

[@CommercialGasEngineerVideos]

I need to get me a mickey pipes baseball cap.

[@michaelmartin2989]

Mikey the Milwaukee 3" cut off tool works really good for cutting shower valves in tile, kit comes with diamond wheel and guard with vacuum dust port.

[@PipeDoctor]

Thanks for the tip!

[@Berzerk29]

Blue Monster is my go to PTFE tape

[@rollenschultz2707]

Steve lavamour what a hooked a hose to the shower spout instead of holding the bucket

[@TBDE845]

I just sweat my press fitting when they fail to press.....lolol

[@Ariel1S]

Wouldn't you need to somehow get flux inside there?

[@Wolfhound.]

@@Ariel1S typically yes but you can patch a leak or a hole without in this case its in a wall it was a good move to cut it and replace it

[@brucestorey917]

Why did you even replace the valve body? You could have just replaced the trim. If the cartridge was bad, you could have replaced that as well. The only difference between the two valve bodies is, the old one didn’t have stops and the new one did.

[@PipeDoctor]

Obstruction.

[@johnstone3310]

You need to open a shop in New Jersey ,, your the best

[@PipeDoctor]

Maybe one day!

[@BuffaloChicken]

Spray-9 is good shit!

[@harryschrysan3183]

You savage bro 😅😂😅

[@blad170]

Come on bro as a master plumber you should know not to press on where there’s existing solder. I would’ve never allowed that but I’m just busting your chops G lol Your the man, if I was still in plumbing i’d work for ya

[@PipeDoctor]

Just showing that I keep it real on and off camera. Fixed the mistake.

[@blad170]

@@PipeDoctor you do bro ! Much respect to ya 🫡

[@anthonyzarcone8696]

Question why didn't you pull out the cartridge before soldering

[@PipeDoctor]

@@anthonyzarcone8696 i did. that wasnt a cartridge

[@blad170]

@@anthonyzarcone8696 there’s no cartridge in a brand new shower body, that grey looking plug is just for protection for the edge and the inside

[@chuckq54]

Need a threaded 90° ell/press for these applications so no soldering inside wall cavity…do they make one? 🤔

[@richardfossani6421]

What do you do with the melted copper? Seems like there could be money in that?

[@user-vs1dz9xr1i]

Well done Mikey pipes, question, why solder after pressing the female adapter on? Wouldn’t it burn the o ring? Thanks John (journeyman plumber from PA)

[@MoneyMarcMes]

I was worried it would leak on you since you soldered after you installed the Viega pro press fitting. The heat probably melted the o ring inside the Viega adapter.

[@paulphillips4148]

Shower bodies always suck to change

[@PipeDoctor]

Yes they do.

[@mrsmith5114]

Ah, your company name is sexually. I get it now after watching the first few minutes of this video :)

[@nickc6399]

He wanted the hawk tua when he opened that door

[@throttlebottle5906]

so, what was on the other side, that you didnt hit it from behind? lol.

[@joelmorales9369]

Why do you use a B tank when you soldering why don't you use a map gas? Just curious. Map gas tank would lighter to carry

[@PipeDoctor]

Mapp gas sucks.

[@chicomarlin1246]

Some people are saying the wife wanted to hawk tuah to cool those pipes down after soldering, you know, spit on that thang

[@260bill260]

I saw a drip

[@rav4hybrid]

This was hawt

[@PipeDoctor]

lol

[@Psolutionsinc]

Proseep for the fail ✌️

[@PipeDoctor]

[@danielrandolph9170]

Look like a bad shower valve why did you do all that costly extra work just to fix a leaking shower valve they do make replacement shower valve cartridges !!

[@gonzalofandino662]

Mike is the gold standard man, cheers🤌🏽😮‍💨

[@PipeDoctor]
