Yo broski! I'm a pro woodworker and amateur plumber. I've always done my own plumbing since I've been too poor to hire a pro. Over the years I've installed 4 water heaters, replaced all the galvanized pipe in my basement in one day, several remodels, and lost track of how many times I've had to pull a toilet to get a toy that's been lodged in the bend. Sometimes I've wanted to jump off a roof mid-project, but turning the water on with no leaks at the end is so damn satisfying. Your videos are great. I love watching a master do his trade. NYC plumbers have to be the best of the best since you guys are working on all kinds of jacked up stuff going back well over a hundred years sometimes. I know it's hard work but you make it look easy. Props to all the hard working tradesmen who keep the world turning. Peace broski!

I never even knew it was possible to do plumbing on pipes that are still fully pressurized. Very educational in more things then just plumbing (I never knew why things lined up easier when going diagonally for screws). I also like the way you gave the information, it was professional and well thought out~

This is why I love engineering. When I bought my starter home which was built 100 years ago I was concerned about the old shutoff valve which looked corroded and flimsy. I imagined a product such as this which I could put in front of the existing shutoff and not have to mess around with the old shutoff. Engineers see a problem and find a solution. Seeing how often the problem is getting supers to agree to a shutoff, this product alone will make plumbers job so much easier.

Total profit for this at $1500 is $386.00 after all overhead costs and taxes and paying your employee to install this. Oh and we have to legally warranty this item for 2 years cause it’s a permanent and it malfunctions? You now just lost all profits. But if you’re a small company or a solo plumber and don’t have any employees you make around $521. “It’s a 5 minute install”, let’s get real here, you take your time to investigate issue needing this device and driving there and diagnosing exactly where to install this probably took you minimum 2 hours, then you need to order this item and return which is another 1-2 hours. 3-4 hours of you or your employees time invested.

I have used these they aren’t too bad they cost 50 quid in the Uk which is a bit steep for a isolation valve. The problem which them is what they do to the pipe I have seen it crush the pipe or have seen a seal leak which isn’t too bad because you can tighten up the screws. Plus they only seem to come in 15mm versions. Personally I prefer a freezing kit some problem can destroy the pipe but it is more adaptable. On steel it never goes wrong from my experience. Personally I prefer an isolation and a drain down.

The Subs, contracted to do the "hot splice" did all the work, I just had to have several 4" trash pumps setup incase everything went to FFS. I think it was 14" od and 10" id poly pipe.
