Steven, I am always amazed how good you are to older folks, so respectful and understanding!
Today, my plumber doing a small job checked the water pressure and found 100 psi and suggested a water pressure reducing valve. Your excellent video showed me what to expect the plumber to do in installing a water pressure reducing valve.
Wife complained about the water pipe hammering when the clothes water is running. I tested the water pressure, it was 118 PSIG, then I went to adjust the water pressure regulator and none was ever installed for the 43 years we lived here. Up the hill about a half mile or so they installed a new and larger city water tank with more head pressure. So, I need to install a new pressure regulator with gauge, and a shutoff valve upstream of it. But I'll call the Plumber in case something would breaks free at the water supple valve or water meter location. I did watch Steve's other video where they called the water dept to shut the water off, and they did have a pipe nipple break at the meter. So, let the experts handle the job, or maybe get ready to pump your basements out.
Getting ready to install this exact valve tomorrow. Our city installed backflow preventers over the summer and the pressure of our incoming city water is now 102 lbs! I freaked out!. Made it look easy!
"...secret to a long marriage..." (hard of hearing) LMAO I appreciate how you treat your elderly customers with respect and good humor.
You are the Bruce Springsteen of plumbing, born to be! 👍
never seen a foosball table used for soldering...that's next level!
make it happen i always say
What a wonderful job on this install. You even helped clear the sink faucet clog.
Good job. It was nice of you help out that elderly couple. Thanks for the video.
Thank you Steve. No bones, just straight instruction! Many thanks!
Steven Lav shows us another "Tech Tip" on how to get standing water out of a vertical pipe. Nice job Steven!!!
your down to earth with people steve I give u prop's for that especially the elderly we r gonna b in there shoes one day.
Nice to see you do a PRV video, I have a very similar setup to this. I like how you included a gauge on the downstream side. If PRV begins to fail (and it will eventually), the gauge will catch the problem.
yes i always like to install a gauge
Btw I’m a journeyman plumber journeyman gassfitter washmachines fridges and dishwashers have quick closing valves they require hammer restors also I like the your channel locks taking of that poor mans errator
"You cant hear so well huh , Thats a secret to a long marriage " lol im rolling
ValarMorghulis I was dying lmaoo
Real talk
Good mod Steve. You got them dialed down to a better pressure. They sure had some high water pressure at that house.
Excellent job Steve
I have learned a lot from your plumbing videos
One of the best informative videos on this subject I've watched.
Looks good, Steven. Interesting customer chat. That old timer's been there, done that. Baby the dog!
he is a good old guy
Enjoyed the video and thumbs up. You sure know how to run that torch. My hearing is about as good as Al's. Works out good for me too.
Thank you! Putting my first PCV in today. Needed your vid.
Good job I love watch your video around town and plumbing repair
Another satisfied customer.
Great video. I have 100psi from the city side. Sounds like a machine gun going off.
Great job Steve have a great night
Thank you!! I have been looking for this exact sort of video. I'm going to be replacing my PRV soon in my home as it is really old and we are having water pressure drops with multiple taps in use, and hopefully the source is the prv. I'm hoping to install gauges before and after the prv and this is exactly what I was looking for.
Great job, nice customer. Keep up the great work Steve!
Great video Steve and a professional job as usual thanks for sharing it
Good job!
Even an older fellow can have a nice man cave! The secret to a long marriage = that's a good one. He sounds like a really cool guy. Nice work, too, Steve!
great work!!!no leaks for sure....
Great work Steve, on to the next level !!
Will the check valve in the pressure reducer device cause the expansion of water from the water heater to drive the pressure up and make the pop-off valve drip, or is there an expansion tank in the system?
Thanks Steve brilliant as always mate
real working man next level
good job steve.
Your a good guy Steve.
Good job. Came out nice.
Nice job, Steven
Nice job Steve, as always
Nice Job Steve, Good to go.
Love the daily posts !!!
Nice video Momma
Next level job Steve great work
excellent job steve as alway's! how is the baby mama!!!!!
That Bunny Rabbit Rubber Ducky at the end made my night ! LOL !!! :-)
The pressure. You check it at is o ly at that time e that is why there is that red arrow on the gauge so you know how hi it can get at night when the pressure usually gets higher. No one ever talks about the city pumping in way too much pressure and ruining people's property before the regulators.
Good job...Next level!
the baby dog is working again!!!!
Interesting, here in Wisconsin anything over 80 PSI requires a PRV. I put one in my house because the PSI was 83, I dropped it down to 70 because I like a good high pressure shower like silkwood. 😂😂😂😂
Just remove the flow reducer from the shower head and you'll probably be fine at 60 PSI.
Itu kurang dari itu biasa saya setting up 40 psi karena di sini rata rata menggunakan pipa PVC murah jadi mudah bocor
I learned something: use Teflon tape and pipe dope.
Great job#%!!!!!
hey steve. I just bought a house and my water pressure was at 135. my PRV was bad. I rebuilt it and the pressure was good. however, whenever the water heater would kick on, the pressure would rise. so, I installed an expansion tank.
how dangerous was it to not have one installed earlier for my pipes?
input sekitar 80 psi settingan prv sebaiknya di 40 psi saja bro karena tekanan 40psi jika dari pomoa besar atau air bersih kota kalau di kita pdam 40 psi udah kencang bener karena debit sangat besar 🙏 beda dari pompa air sekelas jet pump atau booster sekakipun gak akan kencang karena biasanya saat pemakaian drop ke 15-30psi saja misal maximal 60 psi saat tidak ada pemakaian beda dari air pdam setabil terus di 60 psi
ditutuo jempol saja jago kalau kuat
saya petugas pdam bro🙏🙏🙏🙏
Cool interplay with your doggie- hope she’s still around. 👍
Any reason why you chose the Watts over a Wilkins?
steve, what type Flux did u use to solder at brass connection ? Thanks !
That old man was depressing me. He seemed bummed out. Seemed like a cool guy though.
Steve nice to see the gauge going in, never checked my water pressure before. I got a gauge with the red hand also, 110 lbs but the gauge reads 80 lbs. my question is if I install that pressure regulator, Watts 3/4 LF25ACUB, does the water pressure creep up after a while to 110 or will it stay at 60 if that’s where I said it.
hey steve u lost some weight there partner! how did u do it? lookin sharp also with them glasses!!!!
Steve, gotta love when they paint those pipes! Top notch job!
The one i have just after the meter is frozen and will not adjust. Can i put a new one further up the main line past the one that is frozen? It would be easier than cutting the old one out.
No gauge before??
He did a wonderful job but I would of installed a gauge in front and in back of the pressure reducing valve to regulate the pressure at that point of service
Steve I have a question, I installed a pressure valve at my house and the psi is at 40 the other day the valve was pulsating and shaking the pipes real bad. The valve is installed the correct way. What would make a new valve do that? And how do I fix it? Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Steven, great video, I could do with some advice if possible, I have plumbing experience (mainly with copper piping), can I install this PRV on PPR pipe (plastic)? If, so apart from the PRV what other fittings would I require? Thanks! Enjoyed your video :)
Did you leave the pressure gauge above the regulator, or did you remove it and cap the tee?
My water pressure in my kitchen is too low...what do I do? Should I still replace the pressure reducing valve?
Pak saran kurangi dikit bagus nya 50psi
Sudah kencang buat semprotan air memang lebih kencang 60 psi tapi biasa nya berisik banget kran nya kalau di buka kecil
do you use the #5 or #95 flux?
60psi over pressur normal use for home 3Bar-45psi
Safety valve where I live opens at 130 psi.. Pressure usually holds around 100 psi, constant. At what pressure does it normaly open in the US?
Hope you are live in my town
👍
steven i have customers who complain about to much condensation dripping from duct work even though they have a dehumidifier any solutions or advice.
wrap ductwork or cool off space ,usally if the duct work in a unconditioned space and not wraped it will sweet its about dew point hot and cold
thanks
I guess I am not watching the videos in order this looks like the same house that the lady was complaining about lower pressure in the shower after you installed the reducing valve
pressure for home?
80 pounds wow
Rubber ducky your the one
Been doin' dis wirk fo tirty two yirs.
brazing...welding..the great way!!!
Why using such a big torch tip, that flame was huge, soldering job looked so so I guess, most people don't care about drippy solder jobs I suppose.
Sds like the old man is tired of political correctness....
still too tight 4 bars should be 3 bars
masih terlau kencang 4bar harus nya 3 bar
I feel like I'm watching Dumb and Dumber. I would hate to be a man that had to call another man in to do work in my home.
