Thanks Mr. Paul for producing an Outstanding Video, full of Expert knowledge, presented in a Professional manner. You've given me the knowledge and confidence to tackle a water heater removal and installation. Pred201
HeybPaul nice video…one thing I don't do that you don't…. map is to hot for 1/2 pipe…I use propane. Otherwise your tutorial is great. Thanks my friend…your thoughts please Paul
Great video! Clear and concise, thanks for posting.
Maap gas is not recommended for less than 3/4" dude!
Vent range trough the roof
cool that…..is very easy…….
Thanks for the detailed explanation!
Like you said, I followed your instructions and didnt have a problem. Couldn't believe it on first try because I had 3 spots to solder and not one of them leaked! I think it was your tips on good cleaning and flux methods. Thank you. Subscribed.
Compression is the way to go
He is as good as it looks! I do remodeling of Kitchens & Baths….Would luv to have you on ANY Project!
Here's a hard question: how can there be 53k views, and only 935 "likes"? I have done this hundreds of times, but love to watch another man's technique. Nobody is so good that they can't learn something! I love how you managed to show the color change on the pipe as it heats up ("You'll know when…"). I was not expecting that to be so visible on a video. I am done using propane, by the way. Great job!
Great video. Thanks millions!
First, I never knew that they also used those battery terminal cleaners as pipe cleaners for sweating, but it makes perfect sense the way they are built why not market them for both jobs. Also I love the tip for the top and bottom pipe cutter. I'd never thought of that and have had that issue in the past where I ended up using a hack saw blade with duct tape on it as a handle to cut my pipe. Seriously you have some really awesome tips for guys that don't do this on a daily basis but might need to get a job done.
I soldered about 30 fittings over the past year after not soldering for many years. Everything was great until in a new install in a utility structure I got a tiny leak. I took the pipe out and saw the solder did not flow all the way around the joint. Not quite sure why but I became more disciplined and careful as a result. Really enjoyed the way your video tackles the subject even the magic marker for the shark bite connection. I wondered about that and I see for sure it is a good way to know the pipe is in all the way when you are in a situation in a wall with limited access. Thanks!
I'm a homeowner. …nice watching a professional skilled tradesman. …that's some clean soldering. ..thanks for the tip …feed from the back great advice
