My niece is a disciple of yours. She learns everything you do, and uses your "Master Techniques" to troubleshoot almost everything on a rural farm in VT. I now use you to show how to work like a Master in any profession. I would and do watch, just to see the artistry of your videos alone. You not only teach, you not only create, ive seen your work inspire others to become better than yesterday. A shame that all dont realize to do as you do. Best wishes & Thank you.

Most informative and clearly defined plumbing video I have seen. Thank you for sharing.

This guy is a "Master Video Artist." My niece, in rural VT, is a "devotee", & sent me a link. I watch, if only to see his wonderful creations. I send his links to trouble shooters I instruct so they see great technique for any craft in general.

I really enjoy your videos. You make so many items so easy to understand, so I can follow along. Sure beats having to hire someone for crazy labor charges. I also had to say that your Yorkie is very ADORABLE!

My niece is learning to do, and do it well, everything he posts. She started me watching these, just for the beauty of his creations. I forward these to people in hvac, just so they can see how a master goes about doing any type of work. He inspires, in my opinion. Best wishes to you. I love being able to point out "Masters of their Crafts". Thank you for that. Rich

[@NoWayJoseNJ]

Thank you. What do i do for removing water deposit?

[@zmarssojourner7435]

Ty for the vid. At 4:50, can we use regular white plumber's tape instead of the rope? Ty for the reply!

[@kenwu4921]

Very 👍

[@MeRia035]

I think graphite packing can be used in place of a rubber washer? I had a an issue on a water valve on an old home radiator. I prefer radiator heat over forced air, wish I had that where I live now. Thank you, this is greatly useful information. Always helpful content!💛🌞💛

[@michaelherrera7358]

How do you know what size to get or what size you have now?

[@metalox88]

Packing nut... trying to drive up the repair bill with these fancy words 😀

[@DzungVo-dd8bq]

👍 👍 👍 !

[@beachbums2008]

You have the pipe wrench turned around wrong way on the handle. When you try to loosen the stem nut for the handle it might slip in the pipe wrench.

This is maybe a silly question, but i live in a condo and there is no complete water shut off valve for the whole condo. ( I would have to have the whole complex shut down) its all just separate valves for each separate area (bathroom, kitchen). Will I still be able to change the rubber washer without shutting down the water supply completely?

[@proclaimliberty2000]

Unfortunately, to replace the washers on any kind of water valve in the kitchen or bathroom areas will usually require shutting off the main water supply. If you were replacing washers on the fixtures themselves, then you would just shut the water valve off directly by the fixture and you would be good to go.

[@IvanRossS]

Are u some how related to "seejanedrill" channel??

[@chrismurphy7922]

If the packing nut is stripped on my water valve can I still try this?

[@proclaimliberty2000]

@@chrismurphy7922 I would not. You need to have a completely new valve soldered in.

[@nothankyou5524]

Yes you can. You've still got a 50/50 shot. Then replace the stripped one with the new one. If that doesn't work, look up "chase a thread". If that doesn't work, a new washer, new packing, and material, say waterproof epoxy to make a permanent seal. It's a one time only repair, but it's always worked for me when it's do or die. If you do this, you should have time to research how to replace the valve. I would do this as a kid one time, starting with a "spare" because I couldn't solder. Then I had time to learn to solder. Now there are other ways on the market as well. Most work well. But doing it correctly beats everything. You can learn to do pro style work, Im sure (if you'd want to). Don't be my father, ok? He was petrified of a screw driver. That's why I learned this at 14. He also had no money to hire pros. Go gettum. Just slowly.

[@michaelherrera7358]

Mine doesn't have a handle

[@okay6978]

Yeah but what if you can’t shut off you water?
