“Sometimes it’s nice to store these, so you don’t even know where they’re at later” lol so true

[@hankgraver6934]

I have many “these” stored soI don’t know where they’re at later, too!

[@kaboom4679]

It's the unwritten law of repair . And Easter Eggs ...

[@DustinKreidler]

Came down here to quote the exact same thing. Put it somewhere safe... where no one can find it. Not even me!!

[@pistool1]

Man, this guy needs his own channel! Essential Plumbing (and dry jokes), no need to thank for the tip :-) Having followed EC since the day 1.

[@unclefreddy2009]

Love his sense of humor, this is the kind of guy that would be a joy to work with. What an expert

[@molin2]

Phil needs his own spin-off KZbin channel named Essential Plumber! 😄

[@okerac8344]

Absolutely! i’ll watch. Make it once a month.

[@kaboom4679]

15 minutes of plumbing .....

[@SteinBulgogi]

He is a very sexy man also

[@bryankrall8302]

Yes, Adventures with Phil

[@willamettehops]

Best idea I've heard lately.

[@samuelbell626]

hahaha "Hardly leaks, I've asked them to complain we'll see if they do" - Phil is solid gold! 😆

[@davedarling6512]

He keeps his humour nice and dry so he'll never have to deal with a leak.

[@davidquirk8097]

I love Phil's gentle humour. I can fully understand why you like working with a guy with such a generous spirit.

[@alanbromfield1387]

The banter among working men is universal the world over. 😊

[@srooster4410]

“strength of the youth!” i USE to hear that one, now im the one saying it. 🙄

[@erikshilo9934]

I had to watch this video twice!!! Please get Phil on more of your videos on this channel! Your views will skyrocket guaranteed! He’s a straight comedian and a old school plumber all in one!

[@stucorbett7905]

"Its nice to store these parts so you don't. know where they are at later" Classic So funny

[@tudyk21]

It's always a treat when Phil is on the show. 😊🔧

[@Bugbee86]

Pro press fittings are a game changer. As someone who has changed a lot of these big water heaters in hotels that never want their water shut off either, they make it much faster. I also think they look clean. Thanks for all the great content.

[@Hey_Its_That_Guy]

Phil is a real trip! He missed his calling as a comedian!

[@feelthepayne88]

Lol Phil is a riot 😂

[@dnfinnegan24]

Hell yes I love Phil. He cracks me up.

[@myrimu9829]

Laughed out loud at 11:10. Been on both sides of that "never failed me" "you're too young to say never" convo. :)

[@TheGreatQbert]

Hey Phill, I'm in on that hot tub project!

[@cyclesingsleep]

Almost nothing is better than helping a buddy! 😊😊😊

[@rdebije]

I find its nice to store these, so you dont even know where its at later. Phil is so funny every time he shows up in a video he makes me laugh!

[@SerranoPE]

I can listen to Phil and yourself all day. True gentlemen and masters of your craft! Thank you for the video.

[@michaelrichter1465]

I'd hang out with that guy if he didn't know anything about plumbing. But he does know and that just makes it awesome to learn from him. His sense of humor is priceless and spot on. This is one of the best EC videos ever.

[@RayRaysRippin]

Man this is a really good channel. Any young men getting into the trades or any construction or even if they do another job this channel could seriously benefit them and our society. Because a majority of our society is confused on what is a man. Well this dude is a man’s man, just deep down a good ol fella. Keep up the good work and God bless.

[@tomkinney3216]

Properly executed plumbing is like fine art!

[@user-mv4ec2wk1q]

😂 Phil brings a fresh meaning to the old plumbers crack...up!

[@Stang413]

Phil has a great sense of humor. I liked watching him use the press tool for the first time.

[@PhotonFlightTeam]

"the strength of youth! that's awesome!" almost missed that one, Priceless!

[@Ed-jg3ud]

This plumber is hilarious; u need more videos of this guy!

[@benshell8662]

Its always great to have a friend you can rely on and who can rely on you. However, it somehow works out that all my friends are busy or out of town when i need that extra hand

[@titus142]

I could watch Phil work every day. Love his humor.

[@jamesmisener3006]

Phil is a guy with a sharp wit and some wicked humour. Thats Humor down your way. Cheers 🇨🇦

[@SteinBulgogi]

My wife keeps asking to watch this Essential Craftsman video and I think she keeps checking out Phil!

[@jevans4379]

Professional and a sense of humor. There is still hope in this world. Cheers.

[@DeTrOiTXX12]

Phil has a brilliant sense of humor!

[@TheBurnsStuff]

Phil is one (of many) of my favorites that you have on your channel. Education with humor mixed in.

[@IANREA]

Question, if the acidic water is eating the concrete, why are the tanks directly on the floor, why not raised on a plinth or blocks to avoid being in contact with the fluids

[@mackfisher4487]

Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but he may not like it.

[@WilliamAlanPhoto]

It's always such a pleasure to watch, and listen to Phil work. Thank you.

[@williammrdeza9445]

Love watching Phil work along with his commentaries! Thanks Scott!

[@kevincarlson6183]

A couple of years ago I commented on a video asking for this exact video. Thank you!

[@Edition89]

Phil is a national treasure.

[@WayneSmith-yf3fg]

I love "This is science!".

[@garrett6371]

Go work more with Phil! He's the funniest, most hilariously sarcastic plumber the world has ever known.

[@OpossumPiper]

Watching a competent plumber work is simply a thing of joy!

[@r2doucebag595]

Phil cracks me up. His self-assured attitude about his work and the nihilism of everything fails eventually definitely shows the duality of man perfectly.

[@TAITheAsian]

I always love seeing Phil's work! He sure has the bits and the intuitional knowledge.

[@grimreaper4015]

I plan to store this so I won't know where they're at later, OMG WAY TO FUNNY ,BUT SO TRUE. 😂😅

[@RyanAllendorf]

Phil is the best.

[@James.......]

Phil is hilarious (and an excellent plumber)

[@amishbuilt]

You could start an old fashion PBS kid's show with all of the wonderful characters in your town!

[@videos10]

I used to work in a meat packing plant.. and cooking the meat in boiling water taste so damn good. I used to chop off the best part of the cow 🤣🤣...

[@jamesrudolph7794]

Working with guys like Phil was always a treat, you might be working hard but who cares you at least laughed all day!

[@alldayfitness]

I'm thinkin about buying a house in Roseburg JUST so I can hire Phil

[@hankgraver6934]

Than you! Loved seeing a seasoned professional get it done. Most enjoyable!

[@herbschneeberg7685]

More PHIL! Great episode, love to see his inelegance and character

[@sprucecoastpress]

Coincidentally just replaced my water tank today. Always a fascinating journey watching Phil!

[@andrewresczenko1958]

Phil is Awesome

[@stephentucker5406]

It was sorta funny and strange at the same time to Phil using a pro-press to affix the pipes And he certainly was more at ease with the torch. But one thing is for sure. I GUESS YOU CAN TEACH A OLD DOG NEW TRICKS. Loved seeing Phil again hope to see more on the sousvid meat plan idea

[@bwyattm1]

Phil is something else

[@louisnemick1939]

It is nice to see a professional work.

[@robdogracing]

Love Phil! Genuinely loves learning new things and sharing the adventure along the way. You bet I want to see a video on the half caw sousvide.

[@jordanstipp5459]

This guy is the best!

[@daleannharsh8295]

Phil! Fun to see you guys together. Hope he found a torch with a deadman switch....

[@dee73]

Mr Phil just one of the many Legendary craftsman that is such a pleasure to get to visit with oh this fantastic channel keep up the good work

[@dannyguajardo4661]

You guys are the best, been watching for years now. I feel like I’m buddies with the EC crew at this point! Best of luck moving forward!

[@diverdave4056]

...mmm I am not a plumber but i did work on loads of construction sites during my 30 plus years on the jobs... Some how this hot water system looks like someone decided to add in a lot of EXTRA piping that isn't really needed ! as for the too hot water going to the washroom sinks - just turn off the hot water on those sinks and crank up the dishwasher heat

[@jpm1211]

I love Phil's deadpan offhand comments... I guarantee he's a laugh a minute on a jobsite.

[@kg1033]

It was a nice birthday present to have Phil on today. Thank you

[@gtbkts]

Thank you guys for all the amazing videos and great content!!

[@mchapman2424]

Are yall construction workers or standup comedians? What a hoot! Ive been plumbing by myself primarily for the past 5 years and forgot how fun it can be to bust balls with the fellas. Great video

[@daleholland6983]

This video reminds me of the time that I had to replace a water heater at a motel and restaurant. Like Phil, I was a two-person shop. Couldn't shut the motel down, so middle of the night and galvanized pipe. The crimp fittings would have been very handy for a couple of other jobs. I remember repairing a leaking joint in a 2" copper line in an apartment building. It had been leaking for years and of course there was lime build-up. I was able to get the joint apart and cleaned up, but it took about half a loaf of white bread to get the water to stop so that I could re-solder the joint. Worked out fine, though.

[@tylersanville5990]

I’ve got a phil. His name is Chuck and he’s been out to my house 3x this winter to get my boiler back up and running. Only charged me once but left with cash in hand each time because I know his value.

[@PLUMBEROO7]

We have a Chuck in Roseburg.Great guy!

[@benbecker6974]

The funniest video so far. He told the customer to complain. That’s funny.

[@mrkrause3]

Don’t get much better than “Plumbing by Phil”!

[@SPDLTD]

I've said it before, Phil is a national treasure.

[@cletus7419]

My only suggestion is that Phil should get a handheld band saw

[@kevincorbin6273]

Phil is a gem!

[@andrewjames7616]

Thankyou 👍 way more Phil's needed in this world

[@HoneyGlzedHam]

Always good to see Phil

[@PlumbingExplained]

Ahh the elusive ‘hot water heater’, I’ve been looking everywhere haven’t seen one yet! Just playin hahahha plumbers joke!

[@davidorsillo2671]

Phil is a legend. Thanks for sharing

[@kirkwasson7531]

Great video. Love watching masters at work.

[@russellstarr9111]

Phil always cracks me up. Keep up the good work!

[@hansangb]

@7:45 "sometimes it's nice to store these so you don't even know where they are later" Scott: That's great.... :) Phil does need his own podcast.

[@milesharlan1]

Phil is terrific!! Thank you for sharing!! KUTGW

[@topfeedcoco]

Phil's great, reminds me of my favorite uncle!

[@evan-edstrom]

I used the press tool for gas piping. Pretty slick!

[@klcameron709]

Phil will end up buying one of these fancy fangdangled things. I love mine. He is so smart and does great work. I enjoy all your videos. But being a Master Plumber here, I really enjoy watching him work and his humor. Take care, be safe, and thank you

[@danielbrierly7157]

hot tub beef! found a new use for mine

[@arresthillary9502]

politicians should be required to watch 1 hour per day of random people actually working in this country. this channel should be on top of the list

[@abenzuoo]

Rokus is gold.

[@williambrouwers5664]

Great video! Thanks for letting us tag along! Too bad we couldn't go with to the scrapyard to see how much money was in the trailer! Also, thanks for not bombarding us with other videos of yours. That has been a recent addition and it isn't my favorite. It makes sense because it sends us on to other videos, but it feels tacky to me. You guys aren't the tacky type!

[@JB-jk3ow]

you may have a dedicated 140 degree line. for the kitchen and have tied into the domestic hot line or recirc line

[@dougreichard8826]

HEY!! Phil good to see you again😊

[@saltycowgirl]

6:33 It's Science!! eye roll.. lol

[@2chipped]

Its always a ruckus,when Rokus is involved..the uncle you wish you had lol

[@johncarlson7955]

More Phil and cowbell

[@ryancheek273]

This guy is so funny..I didn’t even see it coming and bam I’m dying of laughter 😂

[@bryankrall8302]

Phil is the man

[@chuckT479]

Phil has a really nice sweatshirt on!

[@rustyshackleford5060]

Keep up the good work!

[@anthonypiligno7618]

I used to do HVAC for a living... I just wish I could have learned more about it... before I stopped doing it.... thanks 👍🙏 again for the video 📸.... JJ...😊

[@anthonys1573]

I wish I had a Phil Rokus
