Cleaning 2” PVC Shower Drain Pipe with Calcium and Lime Scale Buildup

How would you fix this leak?
zhlédnutí 198Před 3 měsíci
The contractor that installed this trophy drain in the standup shower, cut the ends off to modify the length. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to get a good seal on the ends and water is leaking down past the waterproofing and into the ceiling below. What would you do to fix it? Caulking only held about nine months or less. I was thinking of using a fiberglass resin to plug the holes. What woul...
Electrical mistake or is it correct? - CAFCI breaker with GFCI receptacle
zhlédnutí 379Před 4 měsíci
Are the gfci receptacles tripping due to the current draw of the cafci breakers? So the electrical system in this house was recently upgraded by a licensed electrician. They upgraded the electrical panel with CAFCI breakers, but also added GFCI receptacles in the kitchen above the counters and below the counters, pretty much everywhere including bathrooms. The problem is we’re having false trip...

      This video is the equivalent of pulling a joint that wasn't soldered properly and blaming it on the type of joint. I'm betting this was not installed by a professional and it wasn't done properly. That said, shark-bites will last until the O-rings inside dry up and break down, so I wouldn't feel comfortable installing them under a wall as opposed to under a sink.

    How long do they last?... you never said. Are sharkbites supposed to be used on copper lines? Look at that corrosion on the line, how's that supposed to seal?... it can't. I'm pretty sure sharkbites are designed for PVC lines and not copper. Personally I wouldn't use sharkbites on any line, those seals inside are gonna dry rot sooner than you'd expect. Rubber seals also shrink not just dry rot. A quick fix is never the real solution.

    First off, siemens arc faults are known to be extremely sensitive. Companies like siemens, eaton, square d call AFCI breakers "combination". I don't know why. this just confuses people. What you have here is the same effectively as a DUAL FUNCTION breaker, having arc fault protection in the panel, and ground fault protection at the outlet. This is legal! It should not cause any tripping. Like i said, these breakers are JUNK and should be swapped for an EATON CL arc fault. Guaranteed you won't have an issue, and they are rated for siemens panels. Ask me how i know, this exact service call probably made me 20k last year with the amount of times i have swapped these breakers. EDIT: ANOTHER option you have is install an eaton dual function (afci and gfci) breaker and install a regular outlet instead of your current GFCI outlet.

    Understand exactly which type of "combination" you have. Some are labeled that way and the "combination" is parallel arc fault + series arc fault. Don't quote me but I believe Eaton breakers have a green stripe on the breaker label along with the blue, green referring to GFCI. Not sure about Siemens.

Sharkbite joints allow considerable motion - and the green deposit may have been a tiny seepage thst'd self-sealed. Again, I think they're all garbage and installing hundreds of them behind expensively finished walls is asking for trouble in my book, but the vid isn't objective.

  • @erniea4424
    @erniea4424 Před 5 měsíci

    I made the mistake of using these in PEX, in a heating system. The rep I spoke with by telephone assured me "that's exactly what these are made for". After 2 heating seasons, the tiny vibration of the circulators in the system caused the internal stainless ring to wear a groove in the PEX, which allowed the system's glycol to run out on the ground. Never again... Not PEX Not Sharkbite I know of many sweated copper fittings in service more than 70 years with nary a sign of any problem, so you tell me - which costs more?

    • @phillipvansickle4220

      Oxygen barrier pex is great for heating loops in concrete. However, I would use the proper crimp fittings. That said, I prefer soldered copper for standard plumbing.

    • @sonacphotos
      @sonacphotos Před 5 měsíci

      PexB sucks for that. The thin metal crimp rings is the only thing stopping it from popping off. Anywhere you have metal you have chance for corrosion too. Also PexB uses internal fittings which restrict flow. PexA is a little more expensive but fixes all these issues. Once expanded it will always be trying to tighten back down on the fitting with a LOT of force for the rest of its life. It won't budge. It won't corrode. It won't pinhole like copper. Also no flow restriction and easier bends. Anecdotally, my heating system is polybutylene (not american crap pb, its quite standard here) and pushfits (not sharkbite but much better european brand) and its been in service for over 12 years with zero leaks or any issues now.

      i remodeled homes for just short of 50 years. hard life, and retired. my solder joints have never failed, and will last at least 100 years. when we see sharkbite last that long, which i doubt, i never trusted them. nor pex. if i'm not mistaken, both pex and sharkbite have, or at least had a disclaimer, they recommended neither be installed in a closed wall or ceiling. at least they used to. yes, i remember when they first were introduced to the construction industry. pex having a nation wide, class action lawsuit for their joints failing all over the country, did make them improve their product, but no one will know if they'll last at least 100 years, until they do, or don't. no, i'm not saying don't use them, just do what i did with my customers. both pex and sharkbite saves time, but if you choose to use them, i will not guarantee the work. i simply couldn't, and i'd write it right in my contract. same as not putting a guarantee on dura rock, vs. the mud floors, walls, and yes even ceilings in baths i'd do to hold tile, marble, granite, sandstone, slate.. you get the idea, to the ceilings. . to me, old school, type work, harder to do, and takes longer, yet proven longevity is what mattered to me. my care of the jobs to my customers, was always the utmost of what mattered. i only would at minimum tell them if i actually could trust any new methods in construction, i would say i agree. most i couldn't.

    I have seen knock off push fittings fail in 6 months! I have used many genuine sharkbite fittings and have had success with them. I have several in my own attic!
