RV Plumbing DIY - PEX Tubing and PEX Clamps

[@GetGonewithUS]

*A lot of viewers have been real thankful for our DIY videos and have ask if there was a way to buy us a Beer. KZbin now has a ‘THANKS’ button under every video, Just click the button. 😀 It’s not required or expected, but it is appreciated. THANK YOU!*

Awesome drinking game, I had a slab leak in my house and the repair was made with PLEX and shark bite fittings. Such cool stuff all made easier in this day and age, maybe we will goto the MOON someday. LOL

[@GetGonewithUS]

Thanks David! It's a little early in the morning, but Cheryl and I took a drink 🍺 when we read PLEX in your comment! LOL It is so much easier to do plumbing in the RV or the house with the advancements that have been made. 😀

[@williamdavidson4576]

Great job. Well taught and easy to understand. Excellent camera views too.

[@GetGonewithUS]

Wow, thank you! 😀

Hello from Ouray, Colorado!! Thank you very much for this very informative video!! We were out on a 2 week boondocking trip that started in the northern part of Colorado, and we worked our way south so as to catch different areas to enjoy their aspen leaf changes. But, my thetford toilet started leaking.....and the leak got bigger with time. I had split the bowl from the pedestal, in April, so as to change the ball valve seal. My guess is I may have tightened the water supply connection too much (an idiot mistake....but knowing how tight one tightens an auto oil filter, no doubt I tweaked the seal). Anyways...with our toilet down, our whole water system was down; so, we came home today. I want to use what I learned from you on this video and install shut off valves on each of our water basins (kitchen sink, bathroom sink, shower, and toilet). Then, if I have another problem, that can be isolated and we continue to operate the rest of the travel trailer. QUESTION: my toilet water supply line is not pex. It is actually a relatively stiff piece of potable water tubing. Do you feel these pex clamps will work with that type of tubing also?

[@GetGonewithUS]

Hi Alan. I never looked into it myself, so I really don't want to say yes or no. I would research it online and make sure you get the right fittings for the job. Good Luck! 😀

[@jerrybell9241]

Thanks for another excellent how to do video. I have a 31UL Precept so your videos help me tremendously. Glad your back.

[@GetGonewithUS]

Thanks Jerry! We are glad you find the videos helpful! We appreciate you checking them out. 😀

[@shanewade9975]

Just the information i was looking for,perfect, thanks

[@GetGonewithUS]

Glad I could help. 🙂

[@karenblair3058]

Best video on pex and fittings. Very well explained and great video images to see whats going on and how to install the fittings and pex. (Plex) lol

[@GetGonewithUS]

Thanks Karen. Glad you liked it! 😀

[@halenelson9983]

Very informative and super enjoyable video! We are new to RV’ing and have a leak and the clamps were unnerving and this video really helped! Thanks!!!!

[@GetGonewithUS]

Glad it was helpful! Happy Trails! 😀

[@robseaton2734]

Another great video. Good to see you folks back doing videos. When it comes to how to fix or maintain or adjust something on the RV you always come through. I will often reference your videos to folks who ask how to do something on the RV forums and facebook rv sites. I enjoy your content more than some of the other KZbin creators as I want to see how to do stuff on the RV more than I want to see where folks are traveling to or RV reviews. Keep up the excellent work.

[@GetGonewithUS]

Thanks Rob! We are glad you enjoy our videos and we appreciate your comment! 😀

[@brucelawing6651]

Hi Guys! Thanks for another informative video. We have decided to put reclining theater seating in the RV, and just a couple days ago , LL said "I think Get Gone with Us did a video on THEIR install !" After just watching this video I checked your playlist and lo and behold (RV Reclining Loveseat Installation) . So thanks for that video too, I think? lol Take care, Bruce

[@GetGonewithUS]

Hi Bruce! You are welcome! We are sure you will love the reclining seating. We put one in our Class C when we had it and as you already know, we put one in Maggie too. We absolutely love having the reclining loveseat. Good luck on the install. 😀

[@MrRemphoto]

Excellent demonstration - thanks!

[@GetGonewithUS]

You are welcome Rob! Thanks for your comment. 😀

[@seabliss22]

Howdy 🤠 so nice to see y'all today even if it is plumbing 😁

[@GetGonewithUS]

Howdy right back at you! Thanks for stopping by even for a plumbing video.LOL We appreciate it. 😀

[@kk55283]

Thx for the great video and practical info.

[@GetGonewithUS]

Glad it was helpful! 😀

[@mailmanguy1476]

Great video, you guys! Our RV is all pex and I need to have that kit with me for emergencies. Still hoping to meet you on the road someday👍 Semper Fi !!!!

[@GetGonewithUS]

Thanks You. We put all the links in the description box below the video. You never know where we will end up on the road. Semper Fi to you too! 😀

[@randytaylor4459]

Hi, I'm having trouble with my clamps under my bathroom lavatory, I had to use the old screw type clamps it looks horrible and I want to do it right. Thank you for your help, Home Depot were I come.

[@GetGonewithUS]

You are welcome Randy! 😀

[@garyfolkes5911]

Thanks for your content •••

[@GetGonewithUS]

You are welcome. Thanks for watching! 😀

[@timlesprye7001]

Cool video. One of the nice things about Pex is you can rotate it around after its clamped. You could have just turned the valve around without taking it apart.

[@GetGonewithUS]

Yup, but I thought it would be an opportunity to show others how to remove and replace in case they ever need too. 😀

[@adriangutierrez5619]

Thank you guys so much very helpful video

[@GetGonewithUS]

Glad you enjoyed it Adrian. 😀

[@starza360]

Thanks for making this content!

[@GetGonewithUS]

Glad you enjoy it! 😀

[@eugenepolan1750]

The pass-thru holes seem large enough for mice to get in past the tubing hanging down. Maybe pack the space with steel wool to close the gap.

[@GetGonewithUS]

Thanks. Been there, done that. We have been lucky with no mice. We did pack steel wool everywhere a while back. 😊

[@blainemcdonald6972]

I am changing out my water pump using the fittings that came with my Shurflo pump. I have to remove the existing fittings as they are different. After inserting the new fitting into the pex the pex clamp will not fit over the fitting burr, what the issue?.

[@GetGonewithUS]

Did the RV come with Pex?

[@CatFoodDraino]

Quality video! Thank you

[@GetGonewithUS]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😀

[@victorlopez2143]

Looking to remove my water filter canister which is located inside a drawer compartment and it's hard to remove the filter..You have to remove two drawers (next to the bed also). it's the same area where the electrical is...Want to put in a bypass line where the canister is...Currently using an external water filter..This video tells me what I need..Thank you sir..

[@GetGonewithUS]

You are welcome Victor. Good Luck! 😀

[@stevem268]

question for you, why pex b and not pex a? pex a fittings have a much larger id so much less flow restriction. we use pex a regularly in home renovations

[@GetGonewithUS]

I replaced it with what was there!

[@guyaustin9]

Thanks for a good video

[@GetGonewithUS]

You are welcome!

[@marianford7709]

We don’t understand why our holding tanks are over filling. We are at a full service RV park. Help

[@GetGonewithUS]

Sensors are dirty or bad would be my first guess based on your description.

[@thebeardedstork432]

Hi Chuck! Hi Cheryl!

[@GetGonewithUS]

Hello! 😀

[@paula.2422]

Veer nice....just to mention though, your crimps were 1/16" off the end of the pex...you really do need to be 1/4" - 1/8" from flush depending on the fitting you're going on to.

[@GetGonewithUS]

I mentioned how far to mount them at timestamp 12:45 Where are you seeing 1/16" and how did you measure from a video?

[@nomansland4811]

My last couple of RV’s were all PVC. Don’t recall seeing any copper.

[@TimothySmith-tb7kk]

Thank you

[@GetGonewithUS]

You're welcome.

[@kiyamanus3723]

Awesome thank you!

[@GetGonewithUS]

You're welcome! 😀

[@holiyay7565]

Thanks!

[@GetGonewithUS]

Thanks you so much. We are glad you liked the video.

[@ginso17]

Very entertaining

[@GetGonewithUS]

Thanks Ginso! 😀

[@richvanevery3]

Thanks for sharing... Those Crimp rings are awful...,not sure why you would be using them as they are destined to fail...

[@GetGonewithUS]

Just showing how the job is done. No failures here. 😀

[@blainemcdonald6972]

My thought is the Pex you get at Home Depot is different than the Pex you get at an RV parts store ??

[@GetGonewithUS]

I had no problems using the Pex I bought at Home Depot.

[@rogergraves242]

Shouldn’t U change the value to Brass.

[@GetGonewithUS]

Not necessary.
