Tip: run this video at 1.5 -2 x

Very practical approach. But, I want to find that paperback, or its modern equivalent, buy, and read it. I'm 78. I was helpong my Dad do plumbinh on his rental houses about 65 years ago. Now, I do a job once in a blue moon. I can't afford to pay plumbers the cost of a shady lawyer. THANK YOU, Sit!

Skip all the blah blah to 5:50

Can this be done without turning the water off?

I used a 1 1/2 inch x 1 1/4 inch coupling,nipple through the wall is 1 1/2 ,then put a 1 1/2 ptrap

I would of start with pipe wrench on the thread first

NICE FAKE VIDEO BRO NEXT TIME TRY A PIECE THAT IS GLUED. YOU HAD NOTHING BUT A SMALL DAB OF GLUE ON THAT PIECE ALL THE REST IS THE PURPLE CLEANER COME ON NOW

I learned many different skills from you and gained the confidence to tackle some jobs I never would have otherwise. Thanks

I’ve just done a repair like that in a very old house in the uk. This video has confirmed that I did it right !

Great! On point...

Can you repack a 125 gate valve with it fully open? I just found out they have a back seat. In a boiler with low water pressure 14-15psi max in my case would it work or piss out like crazy? It already leaks past the stem with the packing nut off when the gate valve is turned off. Wondering if it would leak less fully open against the back seat with the packing nut off.

It works! I used a Sabre saw with metal cutting blades. Took a while but I could see the progress. Great video.

Thanks goodness for these videos because my good for nothing alcoholic womanizing absent father didn’t teach me shit

7:46 this is one of the few videos that explains the bonnet retaining nut adjustment & how it should be used to create the tension on the ball assembly.

Bob, Thank you for your demonstration in every day language. I have an outside faucet that uses a rubber packing washer and I can't even find one that looks like mine. I am heading out to get packing right now. Thank you

I have a MCAVITY 125 gate valve from 1950 that has a very slow drip past the stem. I tried tightening the packing nut but that wont stop it. It's one of two return shutoff valves on my boiler.The other return shutoff valve is much newer and shuts the whole return side off. I thought there would be graphite packing string inside the packing nut,but theres some type of rubber washer in there,so I put the nut back on as water leaks past the gate valve when shut off. The stem width is .390" or 25/64. The thread width the packing nut goes over is .924" or 59/64. The rather large packing nut is 1.12" wide and takes a 1-1/8 wrench. The packing nut is 3/4" long. Do you know what size packing washer it would take? I think the ID would be 3/8" but not sure what the OD would need to be.

I have lots of plumbing experience and stick with pipe dope only.. Teflon tape IMO just gets in the way of the seal.. The threads are made to seal without the sealant.. The dope is actually just a lubricant..

So I'm in this predicament this very moment. Just to clarify, that is a nut and threading (separate pieces) right??? It's not just one piece of plastic made to look like a nut threaded up this pipe, correct? Before I take a saw blade to this as the last resort, I've sprayed some oil on it to see if it will come loose.

Thanks for sharing the benefit of your experience.

Great video. Informative and clear. Appreciate it.

what about copper Flexes

Where was the drain field?

Thank you for the informative video, lightning blew up my tank only and left my bowl completely intact and was confused how to install a new one

Can you use brass vlaves on steel pipe?

Worked great, thanks.

This little problem is the reason A product called a jam bar is made. But thank you for the video it's good to have Other techniques and dealing with the same problem

What is the correct way to seal BSP or G thread with out the machined face for the gasket. ?

FlexSeal wrapped with heavy, waterproof tape actually works on similar leaks...

YOU ARE SO EXCELLENT INSTRUCTOR. THANK YOU

Nice video and technique It would have been nice to clean up the mess created by all this work with a vacuum first before putting everything back together.

Great insider information. I can use the Bluevue gasket assembly. You fully covered the the topic.

Quick question. If you block the tub from inside the tub with a stopper does the Overflow drain system still work?

Very informative. Hope all is well.

I have that contraption in my 100 year old building. I wouldn't trade it for the world. Because I also have a very large bedroom a very large living room a large foyer area separate kitchen separate bathroom three closets. These new buildings are like micro apartments. You're lucky if you can get a twin bed in one of them. #teamprewar.

Your amazing Bob. You have the gift of being able to see in advance in your mind how your going to be able to get through the problems you see coming

Bob, you are always the best!! I haven't seen one of your videos in a while. Pop-up on my phone and this one here is perfect as usual. Ps.... It's been a while since i've been over on that slide of the Goffles bridge. I used to live in The little town in the middle of edison new jersey

GREAT explanation

Very helpful. Thank you!

Whack that nut up! Lol

Just because you got straight to the point didn't ask to like or subscribe to the channel and give a whole story before the video I liked and subscribed. Good vid

Good video but this tool is a waste if time under the kitchen sink to remove water supply hose and absolutely no help to remove the tub faucet bolt. I think it is worthless and a waste of money. I am just angry Rigid put this scam on us.

Nice to hear my thoughts being used to assure my game plan. AWESOME JOB THANKS

Very informative and interesting video! Excellent!

Thanks you SO much for your video!!! I went to my local HD store & bought 2 different internal pipe or nipple extractors, one that has a cam style (Husky 1003 002 606) and the other that has an easy out type end that is not tapered, & is way too short (Husky 1004 568 186), BTW I smashed my finger when trying to tap it into the pipe! I worked on it for over and hour with both tools with no luck. Tried to extend the easy out type with a 13/16" socket with a 4" extender, but it still didn't work, it just didn't grab. The cam type grabbed sometimes but the pipe wouldn't turn, I think it's because it puts too much pressure outward on the inside of the elbow as you turn it, basically clamping it into the female elbow. After much frustration I ended up ordering the Superior Tool 1/2" nipple extractor # 5245 from ACE, they didn't carry it at my local store but was able to get it delivered to the store for no shipping cost (about $17). You can also get it shipped directly to you. I put the extractor in with a few light taps of my pliers and used a 11/16 deep socket with a 3/8" ratchet and it came right out! Talk about having the right tool for the job!! I needed the extension because my shower is a mud (cement) job & the elbow is quite far in. The trick with this tool over the 2 Husky tools is the teeth on the Superior extractor are sharp and really dig into the metal, it is also tapered so even though my shower arm was not perfectly round (due to using my 12" slip Channel Lock pliers trying to get it out) it fit right in. The tool is just "Superior" to the other 2 tools! I also liked your idea of using the handle of the pliers to help install the shower arm.

But if the pipe is in wall, how are you going to hold it steady with a vice?? 🤔 😂

Thank you thank you thank you!!! I tried with the hack saw and screw driver but it didn't come loose. So I got out the multi tool. I didn't do this first because I really didn't think it would fit in the tight area I was working in. But ten seconds later the valve was free to take out. I never would have thought of this had you not suggested. Thank you again!

Very clear and well-explained video. It helped me fix my main linking valve.

I’m a plumber but never asked what this tool does. I would have fixed my shower last night if I knew sooner. Will fix this after work today now though since I have this tool.

Im installing the flange and toilet to sub and layer gonna pipe to septic tank need to shim up for finish floor right ?
