Clever device. I could have used this a few years ago. I was helping a friend and his main water valve wouldn't shut off completely. I managed to solder in a ball valve anyway by disconnecting the outlet of the main and putting a container under it to catch the water. This would've been so much easier.

[@stevetravers8195]

Note: You can also use a good socket set to turn the cutting tool instead of a drill .I did. My 15mm copper pipe was in an older house and therefore a thicker gauge I guess .Even my brand new work drill wasn't powerful enough. Really great product this though. Recommended

[@Jinxytomboy]

I ended up handballing installation too 😂. Thankfully it worked 😬.

[@jschenkyou]

You should show a picture of it taken apart after install so we can see what it has done to the pipe. Awesome product

[@mayolivia1]

Once cut the section of pipe below the cutting disc is completely removed separating the pipe within the valve, the spent pipe is then compressed into the valve base on the 15mm EasyFit, (22mm & 28mm do not compress the spent pipe, these valves have a well to store spent / cut pipe ) and replaced with a rubber barrel, this barrel has a 98% bore allowing for virtually a full flow ball valve / approved stopcock to be installed on pressurized pipe up t0 16-bar.

[@willgilfether5078]

I've used these in the past for exactly the scenario you described in the video, seized stopcock, outside stopcock buried under tarmac and a layer of gravel!!😬 Had to remove about 30years worth of gloss paint from the pipe first😤 follow the instructions and you can't go wrong!

It sheers both sides of the pipe and pushes the waste into a cavity, there's images on the web if you Google it.

[@Sk8london]

I nearly p**ped myself using this for the very first time yesterday, cutting into a live pipe is scary. Make sure the pipe is secured to the wall allowing you to use some force ie manually, use a professional drill so you don’t get stuck halfway due to lack of power, get the KIT or you’ll find you’re missing loads of adapters… Sadly mine was leaking trough the threads and had to deal with that so have some putty or tape jic. Overall massively impressed and enormously delighted with a great solution and quality product, saved me a massive headache.

[@andygillespie2101]

@2E0PZM - that's what I was thinking for the gate valve on my HW cylinder feed that won't close off 100%. Unfortunately, when the 22mm version was delivered I discovered that the valve base where the compressed pipe gets pushed into is about 2" deep and there's no chance of getting it behind the 22mm pipe because it's fixed (as it should be) with pipe clips to a wooden board in the airing cupboard and there's only about 3/4" - 1" max. space between the pipe and the board.

[@stephenhookings1985]

@@andygillespie2101 common issue. The gate valve stops flow of cold water.into HW cylinder right? Mine is 28mm because it supplies two baths. Given 28mm is less common I got my boiler engineer to fit new one. We have indirect cylinder so I had to shut water off to tank in loft and let water drain down over a few days (ie people having baths and showers) once the upper tank was empty there is still water in cylinder but the gate valve is above this - so he could cut out old valve and fit now one. We looked at old one ... Decent amount of chalk on it :-(. Have to recall to operate valve periodically to reduce chance of it happening again. Some hot lemon juice cleaned out old valve. I was wondering if there was an acidic chemical (citric acid, vinegar etc) that could be added to tank, heat up and move around hot system - maybe it would free up the other full bore service valves on hot side? Sorry if what I described isn't your system - but at least it worked for me. Best of luck solving your stuck gate valve.

Got one of these for plastic downpipes from a roof tank ? It's very important to isolate roof tank water supply line prior to changing shower or other fittings.

When it cuts into the pipe, does it leave a small disc of copper/plastic in the system? This channel is fantastic. I've learnt so much 🙏

Splendid, many thanks. Just the job.

[@richardbinnie]

Remember using something similar many years ago but it was a kind of explosive charge that that went off when you hit a piston very sharply with a hammer. Used on a huge malleable iron heating system to install one extra radiator. Saved a huge amount of time.

[@mayolivia1]

Hi, this is nothing like the exploding tee, all debris and spent pipe is kept separate from the flow and retained in the valve base, as the pipe is removed a barrel with a 98% bore replaces the pipe section, this encapsulates a spindle to fully isolate supply, once the handle is fitting you then open and close as a regular ball valve, however EasyFit is also WRAS approved as a stopcock. Warrantied for 10-years.

[@superwout]

Ah those are used for steel pipes, but I think not for copper

[@petergibbs8086]

What happens to the copper "washer" that is produced as a result of drilling the hole for the valve?

It makes shavings that go down the water line and clogs up the nozzle strainer, take it out and clean it.

This is amazing item. Any idea if this will be sold in US?. Our water pipes are usually 3/4 inch and 1/2 inch copper. This would be great to separate water supply into zones so when you need to work on one section, no need to turn off water in whole house.

Hey mate. Love your videos! Could you advise me on this pls? I have two pipes to each downstairs rad. No drain valves at all apart from one above the boiler that B.Gas installed when boiler was new. Drained one rad and attached hose to the lockshield side hoping to drain the system and refill. The rads are full to the bleed valves but no water is going through the hose with the lockshield open. The F&E tank ballcock is tied up. I opened the bleed valves upstairs and have now closed them. Please could you advise me what I need to do. Do I require drain cocks on each radiator downstairs Also there appears to be a small leak on one possible on a piece of copper that is bent upwards to the lockshield end. Thanks.

[@cerealkiller4248]

You need to allow air into the system, which will replace the water and allow water to drain out. Have you a valve on the open vent pipe ( the one which raises up over the f&e tank and terminates above the water line in the tank ) there shouldn’t be one but I have come across them in the past, the system breathes through that pipe and it should allow the air in to enable draining. If there is a valve and you’ve closed it open it back up. It is good practice to have a method of draining at all low points. The leak could be a pin hole due the the thinning of the copper which happened during the bending process, but it could be leaking from higher up and running down to a lower level. Dry the area and watch carefully.
