Not sure why there are "thumbs down". Your videos are very helpful - easy to understand, clear and cover most important details. Keep going!

[@billshowto]

Thanks you 👍

[@utopian123]

Agreed! Very helpful, well done! Thumbs down probably from other tradies who don’t want us to understand 😂

[@ArcticSeraph]

Maybe they're plumbers who don't want you to fix it yourself 😂

Excellent video Bill, thanks mate.

Am having this same leak and I tried to take off the tap but I think it’s glued on like yours was, so I gave up. Glad I looked through your videos and found this. Now I know what to do. Thankyou 🙂

Nice one brother , thanks

8:17 with an L is super funny

[@mets23q]

The mini stops work the best no need to service just swap it

[@KeiraDaley]

Great video, thank you! Cistern one was also super helpful. The leaky valve I have has an extra section (sort of a right angle piece) that makes the tap run parallel to the wall instead of perpendicular. It's so old I'm thinking of replacing the valve rather than just replacing the washers. Anything extra to consider for this angled set up? Thank you!

Hey Bill Great video mate very handy. Do you know where i could buy the cover plates that go behind the shut off? Mines are missing and its one of them ‘get around to it one day jobs’ 🤗👍

[@billshowto]

Lol, there’s always plenty to go on the to do list. They are available from all hardware stores and cost about $2 👍

[@brentonasmith]

No bullshit how to.......thanks Bill

[@BO_Riddle]

can you show how to do this with american pipe fixtures?

[@benpaci8561]

Hahaha how come we never got to see you connect the flex hose to the new valve? Was it the right size?

[@billshowto]

Trying to Shorten the videos where possible 👍

[@benpaci8561]

Lol 😂 nice recovery Bill! 😉 I love your videos, don’t shorten them. Just keep producing them legend 💪🏼

No problem, what do you mean refinish the valve cover?

[@imrichbtch1995]

@@billshowto the cover that fixes to the wall. Is it a good way to bring it back to life other than clr?

[@billshowto]

Oh the cover plate costs roughly $2, might be easier to replace with a new one👍

[@imrichbtch1995]

@@billshowto true, I just bought a house. Your videos definitely been a big help!

[@billshowto]

I’m glad you are benefiting from the videos. Hopefully, plenty more useful videos to come

[@volgrenfanbus1294]

Are you doing it in a customer unit

[@billshowto]

That’s correct 👍

[@nuts403]

You didnt show the stuff up , You installed the wrong size valve , It should be 1/2" outlet what you installed was a 3/4" outlet so the easy hooker or (flex hose) wont screw on because it was a 1/2" female thread , Why didnt you clean the wall and the easy hooker or (flex hose)
