@@Masterofnon3 I mean making the hosebibb attachment point a press fitting. There are better, time tested methods available.

@@theplumberlorianI am a licensed plumber in Texas. I understand what parts you used and what you did there. What I donât understand is why you made that a press joint. Should have been soldered.

Good question.. they had this decorative wood trim on that wall and the owner said theyâd never be able to match it ⊠he insisted on me coming in from the outside đ€·ââïž
Wow dude. Hahahah. I was watching the video and it was like⊠ok.. stucco, that already sucks, then chicken wire.. that sucks.. then a piece of wood⊠it just kept getting worse and worse and the last thing I expected was the propress hose bib đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
i think press fit is fine and all, but my ocd cant help but ask.....why not solder it? the break is gonna be behind a wall and if the press fit comes loose in any capacity its gonna leak (ik the same can be said with solder, but altleast you can just apply more)
The wall would still need to be opened up whether the solder joint or press joint were to fail in the future ⊠thereâs plenty of copper there to add a coupling and just extend it to a new hosebibb
So what people are saying is the person who has to fix the hole you made has to take the hose bib back off to do so and then they will have to put it back on with out being able to get a wrench on that propres fitting you put on they are just going to tighten it is tight as they can witch the person after that is just going to twist your press fitting off in the wall getting hose bib off
I wanted to fix it from the inside but the owner didnât want me to cut into this decorative wooden trim in the dining room. He said heâd never be able to match it .. so here we are đ
That was a carbide tip .. it was pretty dull by the end .. usually I use a grinder with a masonry wheel but didnât have it on me .. did the job though
Homeowner didnât want me to unfortunately.. it was in the dinning room and he had this decorative wooden trim all on the wall .. he said heâd never be able to match it. Outside wasnât my first choice
I love propress and even i would have soldered in that hose bib and i would have extended the line out of the wall so when that shitty hose bib fails were not doing this all over again would it have been so hard to sweat on a coupler and a better piece of 1/2" and bring the pipe out of the wall you could have thrown on a 1/2" escutcheon and a male adapter and a female hosebib and then when the hose bib fails in the future it could have been easily changed out now when that hose bib fsils your cutting the wall back open cutting off more pipe and starting over from scratch i love propress but this was done wrong im sorry to say a good plumber is always forward thinking and you dropped the ball on this one sorry bro and dont even get me started on how you pressed it a little sideways then used channel locks to slightly straiten it on that shitty pipe you had to fix before you pressed it on i dont know if you were tired or it was a long day or one of those shittiy calls that comes in while your on call on a saturday and you wanted to get in and out but bro come on you knew better than to do this
@@scarlettjoehandsome6130the press fitting? The fitting has a sealing element in it .. once pressed that rubber is compressed between the 2 crimp joints making the water tight seal
Trust me with the cost propress it will never be autopilot I have been a plumber and plumbing installer and water treatment installer for 15 years and I have $9000 dollars invested in propress tools easily probably more and that's just the tools and jaws, the fittings are beyond expensive you can drop $1000 easily to restock your truck with propress fittings as an independent contractor there's nothing even close to autopilot about it evey job I quote especially large water treatment installs the cost of materials if I propress is almost triple what I charge to sweat but the time is cut down by more than half it's a good alternative to soldering and I have never had a leak and its the only option that I will use other than soldering or running pex but dam it's expensive especially when you get above 1" pipe and don't even get me started on the cost of fittings above 2" and the cost of the jaw adapter kits to press 2 1/2" and up pipe I paid alot of money for it like I said with my dewalt propress that came with the 1/2" to 2" jaws I paid $3500 alone then I bought the adapter kit for 2 1/2" up to 4 inch and that was $2500 and my mega press jaw adapter kit for gas pipe from 1/2"-4" was $3000 so I sank a pretty penny on propress unfortunately the v1 adapter kit isn't compatible with my dewalt propress so I'm not able to use it but having a dewalt propress with all my dewalt tools on the same battery platform and the fact all dewaly batteries fit my propress is it's own reward plus dewaly has much better response time for after purchase repairs then rigid so when I have to finally send in my propress for repairs I know I'm taken care of
dude. Pressed fitting right there seems likes a real bad idea for some reason.
That was a copper press male adapter .. the hosebibb is 1/2 inch female threaded, not sure what the problem is
Press fitting go inside walls all the time. The angle of the press does look funny though đ
@@Masterofnon3heâs using a close quarters jaw. Can press it from pretty much any angle

so you couldnât just cut the drywall on the interior?
cmon bro
And what, reach thru the tiny space?

Whomever has to fix the wall đ
Owner had the stucco guy look at it before I started and said he was all over it đ
that copper is so thin from acidic water the pro press will not hold for long
Wow dude. Hahahah. I was watching the video and it was like⊠ok.. stucco, that already sucks, then chicken wire.. that sucks.. then a piece of wood⊠it just kept getting worse and worse and the last thing I expected was the propress hose bib đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
What kind of Blade are using on your multi tool to cut the stucco
Yes
That copper looked thin, don't you think?
Itâs getting there .. I couldnât squeeze it with my fingers yet so itâs still got a decade left it in before needing a repipe
Worst way to install a faucet behind a wall. ALWAYS solder when not accessible ALWAYS
New copper stub out soldered to a hold right would of been solid and alot easier for the stucco guy to do his patch. But what do i know đ
A 1/2" female adapter behind the wall would've been my go-to repair. Nice work nonetheless, Boss.âïžâïž
Thanks .. yeah itâs a 1/2 inch press male adapter and the hosebibb is 1/2 female threaded
Looks good! A lot of haters here tho :/
Thanks⊠ahh I get it every video now .. haters are life đ
Damn they type M on that house or what đ

Do those rigid jaws fit on a milwaukee m12 propress?
The RIDGID c1 jaws fit the M12 and the v1 jaws fit the M18 yep đ
Which Milwaukee propress version do you recommend? Have you also noticed a power difference between the two?
So what people are saying is the person who has to fix the hole you made has to take the hose bib back off to do so and then they will have to put it back on with out being able to get a wrench on that propres fitting you put on they are just going to tighten it is tight as they can witch the person after that is just going to twist your press fitting off in the wall getting hose bib off
Proof read your essays kids
What is with the massive hole just turned a minor job into a major job.. hopefully they are residing the house after that
Ur gonna leave that wall like that boy???
The guy fixing the hole is gonna be big mad
He actually already looked at it and said âpiece of cakeâ đ€·ââïž
Well if you prefer doing things the hard way I'll not interrupt. Carry on sir
â@@theplumberloriani dont see why it would be so hard
@@weeman_designsSome things are more challenging for the less talented.
â@MisterTwister88 I'm pretty terrible at it so yep. I make it as easy as possible on myself
Hey boyâŠoops wrong channel
Never will I ever cut the exterior of the house like that.đđđđđ
Wasnât my choice
@theplumberlorian everything here is a 12" frostfree. We use the wolverine brass hosebibs. Their quality is unmatched, I'd recommend them hands down.
Why were you not able to fix it from the inside? This feels like a lot of unnecessary workâŠwhat happened?
I wanted to fix it from the inside but the owner didnât want me to cut into this decorative wooden trim in the dining room. He said heâd never be able to match it .. so here we are đ
this is the dumbest thing I have seen
What multitool blade did you use?
That was a carbide tip .. it was pretty dull by the end .. usually I use a grinder with a masonry wheel but didnât have it on me .. did the job though
@@theplumberlorian looks like it cut it pretty well. If they werent so expensive id use that but probably 1 time use
Why use a gate valve those are crap you should use a ball pin valve.
You canât repair a 1/4 turn hosebibb
Gloves LOL
I guess going behind the wall and using an access panel was not possible
Homeowner didnât want me to unfortunately.. it was in the dinning room and he had this decorative wooden trim all on the wall .. he said heâd never be able to match it. Outside wasnât my first choice
Ya I would not have pressed that
And the hole
I love propress and even i would have soldered in that hose bib and i would have extended the line out of the wall so when that shitty hose bib fails were not doing this all over again would it have been so hard to sweat on a coupler and a better piece of 1/2" and bring the pipe out of the wall you could have thrown on a 1/2" escutcheon and a male adapter and a female hosebib and then when the hose bib fails in the future it could have been easily changed out now when that hose bib fsils your cutting the wall back open cutting off more pipe and starting over from scratch i love propress but this was done wrong im sorry to say a good plumber is always forward thinking and you dropped the ball on this one sorry bro and dont even get me started on how you pressed it a little sideways then used channel locks to slightly straiten it on that shitty pipe you had to fix before you pressed it on i dont know if you were tired or it was a long day or one of those shittiy calls that comes in while your on call on a saturday and you wanted to get in and out but bro come on you knew better than to do this
He twisted the bib after he crimped it.
Is that okay?
Someone tell me.
Itâs a press x threaded male adapter .. itâs able to turn
@@theplumberlorian thanks
What creates the seal?
How does it stand up to time?
@@scarlettjoehandsome6130the press fitting? The fitting has a sealing element in it .. once pressed that rubber is compressed between the 2 crimp joints making the water tight seal
â@@scarlettjoehandsome6130ive never seen a problem with pressed fittings
Wait till the whole speaker fails again what are you going to do pro press another one on lol
I installed a 1/2 inch male adapter and 1/2 inch female threaded hosebibb for future replacement
N. F. G. đ§
Propress is going to be like autopilot, plumbers just won't know what to do without it. Nice repair though
If thatâs all you know sure ⊠good to know the basics before getting a press tool.. canât press everything
