    2 things 1( the red plastic maxwell house coffee cans are great to catch water out of a tank. 2( you can quickly replace a flowmaster valve by pulling up on the plastic ring and pulling off the stem. Just slide the new valve over the old stem and lock the ring.

    First mistake: wires should be disconnected hot wires first than ground. To reattach its ground first, white if applicable push them into box than black. I’ve trained electricians, I’m stricken on this because a white neutral wire may be shared with another breaker, always treat wires as if their live.

    As a plumber myself, I would've charged anywhere from $125-200 to replace that fill valve (depending on the area, upcharge to wealthier customers, discount for poorer customers). You maintenance guys don't even make that in a day of work lol. Until property managers start paying their maintenance guys more then that gig is a dead end. Best use the job as a means to get experience to work towards a license and then get out and make some real money.

      @@LexVance I made the leap from apt. maintenance to commercial/institutional facilities maintenance/management over 25 years ago; it took me places I couldn't imagine when I was lead maintenance at an apt. complex. I went from there to work at a fitness research facility, an art museum, and now manage HVAC systems and etc. on several buildings at a local university. I learned chillers, steam boilers, commercial HVAC controls/building automation, etc. Even got an associates degree and teach HVAC design part time at a local community college. Watching your videos is often nostalgia for me as I learned many good things doing apt. work; enough skills acquired to build my own woodworking shop building from the slab up, decks, sheds, etc. Best leap of my working career other than serving in the Navy as a young pup.

    • @losferwords100
      @losferwords100 Před 3 lety

      No way to know unless you check voltage on all the wires with the power on. Usually, one of the black wires is your common/hot wire but you can't just assume that as every house is different and has different wiring. It's best to check with a volt meter first rather than trial and error.

    • @losferwords100
      @losferwords100 Před 3 lety

      The trick with those is to find the common wire and don't just assume it's the black wire (especially on older houses). Get yourself a multimeter and check voltage on all the wires on both 3-ways with the power on and the switch disconnected, the one that gives you voltage is your common and then check for what's you travel wire. I'm sure there's plenty of vids on CZcams on how to do them without trial and error. It's a nightmare if you guess wrong and go through more trial and erroring, trust me, been there done that. Lucky if you guess right on the first try.
