Repairing a broken hosebibb on copper pipe from the outside 💦

Every plumber in their mother pro press now. I’m a plumber of 15 years and I also use pro press but rarely. Nothing is better than solder.

pressing half the time. Respond to more calls, make more money. Is it really hard for you to understand that? Or are you not busy enough to understand how valuable a press tool is to a busy plumber?

One of the first things I learned as an apprentice, if you're gonna cut a hole cut one big enough to get the job done. Lesson before that was make sure you know who's gonna patch it 😂 Good work!

[@mikegoldsworthy8504]

that copper is so thin from acidic water the pro press will not hold for long

Good question.. they had this decorative wood trim on that wall and the owner said they’d never be able to match it … he insisted on me coming in from the outside 🤷‍♂️

Should’ve left longer stub out for the next guy. What about when that thing fails next time

[@two7plumbing]

​@lanniedulin1075 he pressed on a male adaptor and the spigot is a threaded spigot. The next guy will have it way easier than he did.

[@dunckeroo1987]

Re-install the type of valve to most likely will freeze again? Install a valve behind the wall, like a gate with a long stem. Have the bib run down so it can drain. A small amount of insulation. Or change the location where you can install a Sillcock.

Secure the hose bib while you have it open

[@PlumbingClinic]

Wow dude. Hahahah. I was watching the video and it was like… ok.. stucco, that already sucks, then chicken wire.. that sucks.. then a piece of wood… it just kept getting worse and worse and the last thing I expected was the propress hose bib 🤣🤣🤣

[@hepparade]

Yeeeep ... im not excited about that stucco patch...

[@bednathKafle]

great job

[@stevea2488]

So the next time it has to be replaced, you'll have cut the wall again instead of extendeding the pipe outside the wall and soldering a sediment tap on. Plus, you make it harder to repair the wall that way.

@two7plumbing depends where you live broski, I've been a plumber fir 30 years and have seen two thread on taps at someone's house , but I've seen many at the local homedepot that no one seems to buy.

[@two7plumbing]

@stevea2488 I think there may have been some confusion. I'm not saying they need to carry them with them, just saying they ought to know how to access them, which I meant as knowing where they can purchase one if needed.

[@cyberfux]

@@mattmaracle3053 That's why we place a plug in the outlet before the "wall guy" comes and place the bib afterwards. Don't know if they do that in the US too.

[@travisjernigan8529]

Plumbers can patch walls, but only if they want to.

[@BrandonYoung-vn4dt]

Best to hammer stucco with jagged edges instead of smooth easier for the patcher so wet stucco forms and sticks better .makes my job a whole lot easier.

[@isaiassanchez2098]

from what i learned from stucco guys leave them some paper and wire so they have something to work with when they patch and never square cut looks nice but not needed the chip away more anyways .

[@jr303official]

Plumbers don't mind the big hole they left because they leave it for us carpenters to fix.

[@donhgr]

Worst way to install a faucet behind a wall. ALWAYS solder when not accessible ALWAYS

[@veeko616]

A 1/2" female adapter behind the wall would've been my go-to repair. Nice work nonetheless, Boss.✌️✌️

[@theplumberlorian]

Thanks .. yeah it’s a 1/2 inch press male adapter and the hosebibb is 1/2 female threaded

[@davidlynch8760]

Great job, but now you've got a hole in your wall where damp and rain will pour in!!

[@Bluehorrorcult]

Pro press is good but it’s not meant for every project especially a damm hose bib that’s eventually gonna need replaced

[@two7plumbing]

It's a threaded spigot

[@AnatoliyFurman]

goot work.😊.

[@somedude626]

Hey boy…oops wrong channel

[@kendrawilliams1348]

So what people are saying is the person who has to fix the hole you made has to take the hose bib back off to do so and then they will have to put it back on with out being able to get a wrench on that propres fitting you put on they are just going to tighten it is tight as they can witch the person after that is just going to twist your press fitting off in the wall getting hose bib off

[@whydoesyoutubehaveahandlenow]

[@kalgiesenbrook8460]

I think this is the. Screw everybody else method of plumbing.

[@tickiti]

I would have solder a brand new bullet to that existing pipe so I could attach to the stud, let them repair the stucco and come back to install the hose bib 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@rcpasc1948]

If that pipe were any thinner one could read through it. Cheap plumbing.

[@ElPlomeroChingon]

New copper stub out soldered to a hold right would of been solid and alot easier for the stucco guy to do his patch. But what do i know 😁

[@Tonytone-bv8eq]

Why did you need to gain access from the exterior?

[@xpopsx5624]

My company uses pro press a lot (commercial) there are some stores that don’t use allow pro press but it dose cost a significant amount more for the store to use pro press but it makes the job go faster by a lot we ran like 2000 ft of copper and pro presses it all. I would not press right there because when they have to repair right there there gonna have to cut it out and go further in the wall possibly having to try to cut a hole from the inside to make a new stub out.

[@Dixindeep1616]

Drywall is easier to fix than stucco I would never hire this guy

[@titaniumstar1772]

i think press fit is fine and all, but my ocd cant help but ask.....why not solder it? the break is gonna be behind a wall and if the press fit comes loose in any capacity its gonna leak (ik the same can be said with solder, but altleast you can just apply more)

[@theplumberlorian]

The wall would still need to be opened up whether the solder joint or press joint were to fail in the future … there’s plenty of copper there to add a coupling and just extend it to a new hosebibb

I love propress and even i would have soldered in that hose bib and i would have extended the line out of the wall so when that shitty hose bib fails were not doing this all over again would it have been so hard to sweat on a coupler and a better piece of 1/2" and bring the pipe out of the wall you could have thrown on a 1/2" escutcheon and a male adapter and a female hosebib and then when the hose bib fails in the future it could have been easily changed out now when that hose bib fsils your cutting the wall back open cutting off more pipe and starting over from scratch i love propress but this was done wrong im sorry to say a good plumber is always forward thinking and you dropped the ball on this one sorry bro and dont even get me started on how you pressed it a little sideways then used channel locks to slightly straiten it on that shitty pipe you had to fix before you pressed it on i dont know if you were tired or it was a long day or one of those shittiy calls that comes in while your on call on a saturday and you wanted to get in and out but bro come on you knew better than to do this

[@ConkersLegendaryDay]

Trust me with the cost propress it will never be autopilot I have been a plumber and plumbing installer and water treatment installer for 15 years and I have $9000 dollars invested in propress tools easily probably more and that's just the tools and jaws, the fittings are beyond expensive you can drop $1000 easily to restock your truck with propress fittings as an independent contractor there's nothing even close to autopilot about it evey job I quote especially large water treatment installs the cost of materials if I propress is almost triple what I charge to sweat but the time is cut down by more than half it's a good alternative to soldering and I have never had a leak and its the only option that I will use other than soldering or running pex but dam it's expensive especially when you get above 1" pipe and don't even get me started on the cost of fittings above 2" and the cost of the jaw adapter kits to press 2 1/2" and up pipe I paid alot of money for it like I said with my dewalt propress that came with the 1/2" to 2" jaws I paid $3500 alone then I bought the adapter kit for 2 1/2" up to 4 inch and that was $2500 and my mega press jaw adapter kit for gas pipe from 1/2"-4" was $3000 so I sank a pretty penny on propress unfortunately the v1 adapter kit isn't compatible with my dewalt propress so I'm not able to use it but having a dewalt propress with all my dewalt tools on the same battery platform and the fact all dewaly batteries fit my propress is it's own reward plus dewaly has much better response time for after purchase repairs then rigid so when I have to finally send in my propress for repairs I know I'm taken care of
