What’s that fitting called ?
Great video
Big help, thanks!
Is this safe/suitable/helpful to use on a 20 year old 75 gallon Wellmate pressure tank? Lots of old sediment here when we pull lots of water quickly.
I’m not sure it would be necessary. This device is used more to unclog the drain valve than anything.on a well tank I’d imagine you could use the water pressure to accomplish that. Thanks for watching
I work in Inventor and have used compression fittings in models but actually didn’t understand how they work. This is great. Thank you
Here today never coming back.
Bye
Bye
Can a multi tool do a clean cut of copper pipe too?
I doubt it But maybe. I’ve never tried
It would help if the item you are demonstrating is always available for us to see in the middle of the screen. The item was more at the bottom of the screen or hidden down below the screen vs being clearly visible at all times. Other than that I liked the video information. Thanks for doing this.
Thank you. This was our first video. We got better over the past two years.
Downvoted for asking me to click Subscribe before he's said anything useful. Why on earth would I want to subscribe to a channel before I've seen any of its content? It's like a waiter asking for a tip before he's brought the food.

@@masterflowplumbing9812 You could have used this as a learning experience. Instead, you double down on your incompetence. Disappointing, but ultimately not surprising.

Read the comments in other videos. I have plenty of haters. lol. But I don’t care. Thanks for watching.
This was so helpful.. thank you!

Would you recommend buying the Auto Cut. Amazon sells this exact model it's 54 dollars? I'm having trouble cutting off 1 mm thick rings off 3/4" copper pipe.I make keychains. Is there a way to sharpen the blade on a regular pipe cutter? Or would yhe Auto Cut be better? Or should I just pay $15 and get a regular pipe cutter I make keychains and having a solid piece that can slip onto a person's keychain is a lot more stable than using a jump ring. 1 mm in thickness looks the best but but it's really hard to do. Like hours go bye while i try and retry.
I’m not sure about cutting such small. pieces. I’d think that would be difficult with any cutter
😂I've done it. You reminded me to go slow. I had forgotten. Thanks.
Over-lapping is not good... Having too much tape off the threads hanging over the opening of the pipe could cause small pieces of the tape to come off and cause an issue of it doesn't come out the faucet. On gas pipe applications, it could cause more issues. The fragmented pieces of tape could block parts and cause reduced gases from passing thru to the burner.
Thanks for watching.
Thanks!
Yw
I installed a toilet hose with plastic nut. I failed to keep it from twisting by not holding it with back wrench. It broke and made a mess. Lucky we were home.
Yeah very lucky
Can the black seal on the steel braided hoses be replaced in case they leak?
Even if you could you probably shouldn’t
@masterflowplumbing9812 I was just wondering if they could be changed if connection leaked.
What is the orange tool for?
Watch the video. Turn up the volume
Hello can you use this on a ac line ?
I can’t answer that. I do believe ac lines are going to be a different outside diameter tubing so it most likely will. It fit

Nice to see a review from a plumber which doesn't seem like an advertisement.
Thanks for watching
The Badger 5 series should be banned. I've seen so many kitchen cabinets damaged when these eventually leak out the bottom.
Thanks for watching
I love mine as well. It saves so much time and fatigue when you’re cutting copper all day long. Milwaukee just released a new version that cuts from 1-1/4” to 2” copper. It is only just now arriving at sellers. In fact, Ohio Power Tool just started selling them this week. I will be getting mine this week from my favorite place down the road.
Thanks for watching
What i now know from this video is actually im the moron and its not my garbage disposal clogging my drain. Thanks for sharing and saving me 200$! Subscribed
Awesome. Thanks for watching.
Crazy to see your story here. Yesterday I was cutting a pipe that was about the width of the tool. With gloves on, holding the pipe from spinning, pulled the trigger. Pipe spun anyway and cut right through the leather glove and deep into the pulp of my thumb. I yelped out loud when it happened. Finished the water heater and thought that was pretty dumb of me. Probably should've gotten stitches bc it's having a hard time healing in the inside knuckle of the thumb. Stay safe, the tool doesn't know to stop.
Sorry it happened to you too. And yeah ironic the timing. Thanks for watching

None of this videos show a realistic install on an old oxidized copper tube. It's always brand new stuff and you're never going to be 'fixing' new copper tubes.
I assure you it still works the same way
@@masterflowplumbing9812 Really? An old copper tube, oxidized, frozen and now swollen oversized and you assure me it works the same way? You must charge by the hour to make money.
You never said froze and expanded. You said oxidized
Great vid, thanks for sharing your knowledge to us diy peons...
It’s why we do this. Thanks for watching we really appreciate it.
I always assumed the wrap should be in the direction that will cause the item being threaded on the pipe to tighten the teflon tape wrap rather than loosen it. I just visualize how I'll twist something onto the pipe and wrap in the same direction. Using a piece of loose pipe is easy but unrealistic. You ignored the issue of how to hold the roll of tape while wrapping a fixed pipe.
Thanks for watching
Enough about you!
lol. Thanks
I have a manual PEX crimper. Had 3 crimps on each side, made the mistake of starting with the polyB to Pex adapter then the shut off all done reaching into the cabinet, I realized I could of done 2 of 3 crimps outside the cabinet after my forearms were hurting. My question is Ryobi has a battery PEX crimper, anyone know if they work good? Reliable?
I have a Milwaukee pex crimp tool. It’s pretty nice. Thanks for watching
I’ve never had a garbage disposal but am going to install one soon. Do they automatically turn on when it senses water, or do they all need a switch to turn on?
Definitely need a switch. Thanks for watching
You definitely need a switch. Thanks for watching.
i am installing a whole house sediment filter on my water line after the pressure tank on my well system. I need only a few fittings and have no plumbing skills now do I own all the crimping tools of other connectors. These Sharkbite fittings seem to be designed for someone like me. It's good to have options.
Thanks for watching
I had Pex fail after only few years in my home...split lengthwise...not happy. It was on hot water side close to boiler. Went back to copper. Worth the extra work.
I’m not a big fan of pex myself. Thanks for watching
Compression fitting not really nessicairly needed for waterline for refrigerator ice maker.
Correct. Some refrigerators are now coming with a push connect fitting.
Thank You for this!
Thanks for watching
Thank you! 🙂
You’re very welcome. Glad to help and thanks for watching
@@masterflowplumbing9812 Mne was making vibrating noises, I replaced like you showed but still vibrates? I made sure air was bled out too. Any Ideas?
I just decided to replace my water heater fittings with the regular copper soldering method. I It was mainly because I didn't want to cut the existing copper pipe too close to the drywall. So I went out got all the supplies at HD it wasn't cheap $140 for the torch, solder, flux, pipe cutter and fittings. If I was doing this all the time it would be worth it but as a one time thing the Shark Bite would have been cheaper.
Yeah fer sure. Thanks for watching
Great tool for plumbers! Absolute dog shit for HVAC. Eats line sets alive.
I mean who ever said it was good for hvac? Typically refrigeration copper is a different outside diameter than plumbing copper. It makes sense it would not work good. Thanks for watching. We appreciate it
@@masterflowplumbing9812 Whoever said it was for plumbing either. It says copper tubing cutter so I assumed it cut copper tubing. Thanks for that jackass response.
Most of the other brands are made in China. insinkerator Made Kenmore for Sears. Whirlpool actually owns insinkerator now.
They really are the only name in the disposal world

Hello. My new Delta kitchen faucet has PEX lines directly attached to the fixture. On the supply side, the PEX tubes have a nut and a red (hot side) and blue (cold) plastic fitting with a rubber washer pressed into the end. The hardware pack has two of those directional plastic rings you described. Do I use those rings only if I cut the PEX to shorten it? In other words, use the pre-installed Delta fitting as is or the plastic ring and nut if I cut it. Hope this is clear. Thanks
Yes if you need to shorten the lines that’s why they give the extras. I usually bend or curl those delta lines and use the factory connections. Thanks for watching.
@@masterflowplumbing9812 Thank you for the timely reply. Per your advise, I was able to carefully loop the lines into position. I have never used PEX before, and I don't know how tightly it can be bent before it kinks. I appreciate the help.
Don’t try to cut the supply lines on Delta faucets even if installation instruction says you can. Ran into the issue when shortened supply lines bursted and Delta’s customer support said that if you trim the supply lines according to the manual - you alter the product, hence voiding the warranty.
I'm glad you didn't mentipn pressure testing, as I only have one job to do, and don't want to buy what it takes to do that. I helped my Dad do gas pipe work 65 years ago, and he never pressure tested. He used soapy water, and final tested with a match. None of his renral houses ever blew up. 😊
Thanks for watching
Perfect! Thanks! Next time, I'll rrmember the pro tip of, turning the water off.
Doah! Thanks for watching
ive seen guys recommend to roll the tape into a rope and wrap with that, whats your opinion?
I’ve. Ever seen that done. No idea. Thanks for watching
Hey Tony. I'm repairing a leak in 1/2 inch copper tubing. Got the leak cut out. Tried 1/2 inch push fitting, but it was too loose. Leak city. Then I got 1/2 inch compression fittings. Everything fits, except the sea rings. They won't go on the copper tubing. What's my next move, please? Thanks. 💖
Not sure without seeing it. Thing to keep in mind is the different sizes of copper. Standard half inch copper has an outside diameter of 5/8”. But there are other copper pipes that will have a 1/2” outside diameter. Be sure of your size. Thanks for watching
Sup my dude, how do I connect a water feedline from a sink to something I can used for a garden or drip irrigation setup?
You won’t get enough water for irrigation from a faucet supply. You need a 3/4-1” supply line with a proper back flow device installed.you should probs hire a pro for that job. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the demo. I've seen some YTs which reccommend using a torque wrench to the specified tightness, but I see you feel it's adequate to hand tighten + a quarter turn with a wrench. That will save me some money for the first time I've done this since helping my Dad about 65 years ago, and pribably my last time, as I am 78. But I am doing it for NG inside my house, so I want to get it right. (I suspect it is not up to code for gas today, but it was when this old house was built, about 100 years ago, and the house is still here. 😮
Be careful. Take your time and do it right. Gas is. Nothing to play around with. Make sure to test for leaks. And thanks for watching.
Thank you for the information! When such honest and honourable opinion is shared free of charge - saves a lot of time and trial and error kind of way,,, Brings back hope in humanity and CZcams
Your welcome. Thanks for watching
