Epic Pipe Burst: They Lost $30,000!

At first I was wondering about what that kind of surface was where you set the fitting to be soldered... 😎. Thanks for clarifying.

Mistakes were made!

Nice job, but using the shorter sillcock could be a problem if there is wet pipe in exposed to outside temperature and you have prolonged very low temperatures. I am not sure from the video if that is actually your situation.

I didn’t show be what did spray foam it for insulation. It’s only a little shorter than the old one. I also informed them to make sure it’s empty before winter.

Why on God's green earth did you NOT solder the 1/2" copper into the end of the sillcock? WHY put the dang female adapter on? Why did you not just put the new copper into the 3/4x1/2 reducer instead of adding yet another 2 joints with the repair coupling? This whole video shows the difference between a professional, and a hack! Sorry for the hit of reality, but you put this video up for all to see. P.S. NOBODY "lost $30,000" - the only thing lost was the cost of the insurance deductible! Don't be such a drama queen, be a man.

The title worked you clicked. Could’ve should’ve but I didn’t. It works no leaks. Thanks for watching Scotty!

@@CharlietheHandyman so for you - you are willing to do - anything - for a stupid "click". Pretty pathetic, but on par for your generation we lovingly refer to as generation ZERO.
