[@fernandocabanillas8133]

So glad to finally hear somebody pronounce pōtable water correctly

[@Allintn22]

Roger i remember when you had about 10k subs then 100k now at the level you built this channel congrats man 20 year service/ install plumber in Tennessee here keep it up

[@RogerWakefield]

I appreciate that! This has been a long road, but we made it! Thanks for sticking around

[@LuckySTR8]

I work in Weatherford and those cast iron meter can always destroy those husky keys because theyre made of aluminum and bend so easily. I always recommend the bronze key to get in and shut it off

[@RogerWakefield]

That’s a good tip! I have 2-3 different keys that I rotate between

[@Zero_8347]

very educational! i loved being able to see inside the different valve types

[@RogerWakefield]

Me too! Glad you liked it

[@iwantmyvanback]

Neat. I work in irrigation on a golf course and I use a few of these

[@MesquiteMan]

A gate valve does control pressure, It's just that it does it symptomatically, not specifically

[@termiterasin]

great video

[@RogerWakefield]

Glad you enjoyed it

Dang I haven't been on KZbin in a while. Congrats on your channel having half a million!

[@RogerWakefield]

Thank you! Stop by more often😅 miss havin you here

[@christianstock7183]

What about angle seat valves definitely the best type for potable water.

[@Keith_Mikell]

Just got done using some valves. Flushed out my water heater. It was due. Roger, My house was built in 1980, and so far we have changed most of the valves to ball. I had globe valves and gate valves before. We just did full port ball valves on my outside silcocks. Now the pressure is crazy. My question for you is i have a swing check on the city water (my side) of the meter. It's clanging and banging. That means it's bad, right?

[@tphvac87]

@rodgerwakefield I know there’s not many boilers in Texas but can you do some boiler videos? Annual t+p changing? I don’t think so…. Hose bib is called a silcock your forgetting a few too, zone valve, water feeder (eg 911s), air scrubber, hy vent, ect.

Hey sir, I am currently renovating a house I inherited built in the 60’s. I had to run a new waterline to a new well/pump. I am inside the house with PVC, and I’m going to convert to PEX-A. There are 2 brands available locally, Sharkbite and Apollo. What are your thoughts on these brands, or should I just go ahead and order Uponor?

[@x1984x]

You're supposed to change T&P valves annually? I've never heard that before or seen anyone do that level of water heater maintenance.

[@kevinorr6880]

I have a “frost-free” that has the stem broken waay back. It is in brick. Let's talk about replacement?! Thank you.

[@Hybris51129]

Where I work we have at least three of these types of valve spigots that when you try to use them water erupts out around the face of the spigot and out of the spigot proper. We simply stopped using them because the risk of water being left in the valve and freezing come winter is just too high.

[@davidt892]

​@@Hybris51129 Yeah that's why i don't think they should make the regular "Frost-free" hose bibs. They make a better design that drains the water even if the hose is attached, when the hose bib is shutoff. Although that doesn't stop someone from leaving the hose bib on with a closed valve or sprayer on the hose.

[@matthewjamison1193]

You could try a rebuild kit, sold typically by brand and length..

[@kevinorr6880]

@@matthewjamison1193 I was told it was too old. Bummer.

[@bravingbrivatebrian]

What is the distinction between pressure and flow?

[@kenbrown2808]

pressure is how hard it is to stop the water, flow is how much comes out.

[@bodievinyard5809]

TMP… 😂

[@kenbrown2808]

valves are just water switches.

I heard they are going to show your videos to federal prisoners instead of solitary confinement.

🤣 where’d you hear that

What brought that on?

[@cheddarbiskit1]

You didn’t even mention plug valves roger, I’m just a little disappointed right now.

[@davidt892]

I didn't even think about plug valves. I was like what about butterfly or needle valves.

[@RogerWakefield]

I did mention butterfly but it didn’t make it in

[@davidt892]

@@RogerWakefield Your video seems more directed at the home owner, so it makes sense not to include butterfly valves. I was expecting a complete list, but you at least covered the common valves.
