50 years in the trade, the hole saw one is great. I love CZcams. Thanks
Thanks Tim!!
I love the hole saw one. On the 45 degree angle fittings calculation, I would have liked to see an example, as "subtract the two fittings" isn't clear although I think I can guess what you meant.
Your videos are ingenious! Please keep them coming!
+Rombo Will do! thank you so much!!!
Amazing tricks for home owners, common knowledge among plumbers. I dont use the pen method, just use my finger near the wall, by the time you get the teflon on the pen, I be done putting on teflon on 3 MIPs. I use 1.414 because I like to be more exact and I usually cut the pipe out of the fitting because I usually have more pipe than fittings.
Yes, 1.414. I'm surprised anyone would consider a simple cut length between 2 45s a "trick". That's pipefitting basic shit. If someone's having trouble knowing how to find a cut length between 45s, what happens when they have to figure out a rolling offset? Their head might explode.
Just like the first video I saw of yours; Great info with no extra B.S.! Glad to be onboard with you!
Capttomguam Buckley I've got plenty more coming up stay tuned!!!
This is ingenious madness. So grateful for these tips.
fro0tyl0opy87 enjoy, i've got a ton more coming up ;)
You have solved all my problem. Thank you 🙏 just subscribed.
+Stelios The Greek Great to hear that, thanks a lot Stelios!
You're too clever! I love the PVC pipe trick.
short , sweet and to the point without 10 minutes watching you make a saw cut . love it and am subscribing (I wish more people would learn this
Thanks so much! Please share around:)
fabulous, short, sweet, helpful, to the point, thank you!!
Shannon Smith Wow, thanks a lot you ate super nice!!!
Attention to detail!! loved it
PRO Plumber Brisbane thanks, you are great!
I love that first one with the PTFE tape (that's what we call it in the UK). That always happens to me. I have to say that ONE trick made my day, I knew the rest already. But I am so glad for this channel and I really appreciate it. I learned some other tricks from the other videos as well. Please make more. Even if I learn one, it may save me hours in the years to come.
Glad to hear it helped you out buddy, I got more coming up so make sure to subscribe and click the bell button to be notified when the next video comes out ;)
I've been subscribed for months now. I just saw this one and clicked. Thanks again.
Ok great, enjoy and keep learning ;)
The most ingenious plumbing trick I ever heard of was where you cannot turn off the water in a pipe that you need to cut or replace. Use dry ice to freeze the portion of pipe until you complete your work.
Dieter Domanovic Yes that's a good one, they even have dedicated pipe freezing machines you can get now, they are quite awesome ;)
Ive used a piece of bread in a leaking pipe..itll hold the water at bay enough to solder the joint and after you reapply pressure it will shoot it right out or will dissolve with time
Your plumbing tricks are the best! Keep uploading more :)
nidoevin1 Will do !!! thank you !!
Great video, straight to the point, no fancy music or shitty filler, just useful handy tips.
Great comment thanks a bunch and please share!!!
I really liked these tips.. gonna see if that hole saw trick works on steel xP
He Ka It'll most probably work too ;)
Usually these tip videos are crap. This one has some nice tips. Did most of these before but the teflon tape trick will be useful.
Happy to hear, please share ;)
So awesome as usual! Great tricks 😍😍😍 Good job 👍👍🛠🔧🔨
Thanks a bunch, lotsa cool tricks !
Wow I never thought of that with the tape, what a good idea
+Jake Miller I am glad you like it ;)
nice tip on reshaping copper pipe!
It's my personal favorite ;) Glad you like !!!
never tried that, i always used a coupling and a hammer like object but will give that a try or play with it.
fatcat007 007 it definitly works, I was even surprised the first time I tried it, it's perfect for that pipe that comes out the ground that's exposed to all sorts of things ;)
fatcat007 0o
If that doesn't work deburr the outer edge of the copper and/or change your cutting wheel.
'Substract'. Haha
Worth watching... thanks
+Steve Elder Thanks a lot !
Awesome, thank you so much
My pleasure sir ;)
I use the last 2 all the time....especially with a dull tubing cutter misshapes them all the time...I do water main, drain catch basins for a city contractor in Massachusetts
Sweet, glad we can relate ;)
Thank you for posting this video
That’s cool!
👍 for that hole saw trick.
Like the 45 offset trick finding the travel but what I'd like to know how to work out when u have more than one set of pipes and u want to keep them parallel. And if u have ya pipes each end how to work out how much length of pipe needed so your offset matches to existing instead of cutting another short bit to add in
+glenno I know what you are talking about, I just don't know the equation yet, maybe someone can clarify and I can the add it in my next plumbing tricks video :)
beautiful,,,,,,thanks
Great stuff. Thanks
Thanks, I am glad you liked it ;)
Your plumbing tricks are the best!
+jose lauriz thanks buddy!!!
You can also pry it off with pipe wrench on the last tip
That ABS pipe is cracked/cut
boss life Yes, I wasn't careful when doing it, but normally this doesn't happen.
way to go Juan
Andy Lai Thanks Andy !!
can you clarify the formula to calculate pipe length for the the 45' angel offset? please provide with an example thanks a lot
ilex Wang Sure, let's say you have 20" between both pipes and you need to joint them togheter with two 45's, do 20" x 1.4 = 28".
28" is from center to center of both pipes BUT at a 45 degree angle.
Now, you have to take into consideration your fittings so, seeing you need the REAL lenght of your 45 degree angle pipe, you need to deduct both of the fittings while keeping the penetration of the pipe.
All you have left to do is calculate from the center of the fitting to the closest portion of the hub (will vary from fitting to fitting, normally a small number like 1/2") and subtract this number 2 times (seeing you have 2 fittings) to the original measurment which was 28.
Here is the final equation:
20" x 1.4 = 28" ---)
28" - 1/2 (2x) which is ---)
28" - 1" = 27"
27" (----- final measurment.
Hope this helps, feel free to tell me any portion that isn't clear ;)
ilex Wang it's called a roll get the plumbers bible
I subtracted the depth of the fitting which would be to the point where the pipe comes to a halt so to speak , but on reading your reply its from the centre of the fitting to the face of fitting or hub as you say , i will try this thanks .
mark howard Actually you had it right, you must substract from where the pipe stops, to the center of the fitting, don't worry we will get it ;)
Hole saw good one. The rest are “ok” but truth is, I’ve been Plumbing for 35 years are rarely use a measuring tape. Plumb as you go.. using a tape is a lot of wasted time and seldom are cuts and fits so crucial that one is needed.
MUCH better than mythical space monsters from ancient cities that are way older than you thought they were.
NMranchhand Thanks!
0:26 A few great tips for electricians too, especially the hole saw one
+Jeff Cram Yes, I will be making an electrician's tricks video soon so stay tuned ;)
Very nice tips in minimum time. Thanks.
Vee Kay I appreciate it, thanks a lot!!
I already knew all of these aside from the first one. Made me feel stupid haha
Hi , i had two 1- 1/2 pvc 45 degree elbows i wanted 10 inch set ( centre to centre ) so i did the 10 x 1.4 then added 2 x the depths which was 1 inch and 3 sixteenth x 2 but didnt get 10 inch centres , hope this sounds logical thanks .
Ok, the mistake you made was to add 2x the penetration of the fitting. You must remove from the center of the fitting to the closest edge of the hub on both fittings for it to work, try it that out, hope this help, if it doesn't work, message me back ;)
I liked your presentation.
Well done dear.
Dolphin Coverage Solutions V S Rao Thanks a bunch friend!!!
The two holesaw's are genius
;)
Tape one excellent
parvez haider Thanksss!!! ;)
What do you mean subtract the two 45 fitting do you mean the amount the pipe goes into them
Teflon on pen trick is excellent, thanks for that./
45 degree offset is easier if you put the 2 45s ON the pipes ( connect them with a very small piece of pipe that you can easily remove after ) then measure the Centre of the pip to the centre of the offset 45's, now x 1.414 and add the 2 Hubs ( in the case of a 3: pipe you would need a 3" addition )
..sounds tricky, but if you get what im saying it makes the math very obvious.
MrDmadness Yeah that's another method of doing it which is also great, thanks for the input !!!
never had this problem but awesome thinking out of the box!
MrDmadness thanks for the nice comment ;)
I don't see how this method is any easier, nor do I see how it makes any sense. If your stack is coming up through a floor and you need to use a 45 offset to get it through a hole that is 5 feet away a short piece of pipe isn't going to work for you. If you shoot a laser at where the hole in the ceiling above is and measure c of stack to c of hole x 1.414 - Fitting allowance you will get a perfect measurement every time (as long as your math is correct).
Tripnotyst how would this method work with cast iron?
Good video, straight to the point, no bullshit

Terry Dacktill Thanks a lot sir!!!
Got2Learn .... no problem bruv 😃
Good tip bro
Kenny Rogers Thanks bro !!!
You my man cracked the end tip of the pipe you were trying to save, you first heat it up to soften then you carefully pry around it, every other tip nice 👍
cristianvencesjaimes thanks!
great tips
+Nick Amedure thank you!!!
love it
Thanks a lot for the great comment 313keiko1 !
Can you go into more detail of the 45 degree elbows top tip?
Sash Window Add me on Facebook, i'll explain to you in detail:)
1:22 nice but you will need to go to the hardware store to get a new fitting
Yes, you have to be careful!
Thank you
You are welcome!!
So my upstairs neighbor refused to shut her water off so I could fix the pinhole leak but it looks as though I could actually do a quick cut above the leak(which is a 1/2" from the T elbow on the sink side, that goes toward her kitchen sink)and install a valve, then cut and install a short compression fitting next to the elbow?
Mon preferer cest le teflon pis le hole saw!!! Continue dememe :)
;) Thanks big !
Got2Learn if you have a plumbing license then protect your work and quit sharing
Adrian Novak I am not that selfish.
Please clarify more precisely how much (which part/portion) to "subtract"
Thanks a Million
From the center of the fitting, to the closest part of the hub (nearest the center).
Great hack fixes.
pretty cool, but on the using the wrench to debur, you better be deburring both outside AND INSIDE the copper pipe bedore soldiering or you will for sure end up with pine hole leaks on down your line eventually
measure belly to belly on the pipe, multiply by 1.5, no subtracting
What do you mean belly to belly
@@spacecruisers inside to inside
That last trick is extremely tricky. It only worked so well because it was just glued. Try that on one thats been glue for 15 years and let me know how it turns out. And dont even try on ABS. Just cut the fitting off. Ive only been successful with that like 2/100 times.
Nice...
+Rudy Jr Hinojosa Thank you for the nice comment!
Plumber: Carpenter with his brain smashed out.
@got 2learn this may sound crazy but when you said subtract the portion from both of your fittings, what portion are you referring to, the hub or what?
Between the end if the hub to the center of the fitting
@@Got2Learn well I was elaborating on your video getting the measurement between two 45's by measuring center to center multiply that by 1.4 then you said subtract that portion from both fittings I'm trying to figure out what part of the fittings do go from
@@babyboinews6896 the center to the center of both fittings
@@Got2Learn maybe you not getting what I'm trying to say 8 understand how to do take off sometimes you go from end to center and to end center to center as you mentioned but can you explain the last part when you go from measuring center to center get the measurement from 2 45's then multiply it by 1.4 from there you said measure from both portions which two portions is what I'm asking sorry for if I'm not making it make sense
Yes, so to get the final length of the pipe, you must subtract both portions (from inner hub to center) to get the final lenght
Dry fit any/all Abs, and-or Pvc fittings, set-up your complete desired drain line fully together. Once you know your sections, also fittings need no further cutting, Abs glue not enters arena. Glueing within guessing, touring evolves, buying twice evolves, work × 2 + evolves, +symbol stated due to I've seen people repeat process 4× in real life excursions.
ptfe tape on a pen..... my god you are a genius.
Ryan Dennell ;)
Your using the wrong glue on ABS pipe
+John J. Bennette That's odd, you aren't the first one to mention this, can you give out more info on this pls, thanks for your input!
ABS pipe needs "Solvent Weld" adhesive. The stuff you were using looked like contact adhesive. This is the stuff you need www.screwfix.com/p/floplast-sc250-solvent-cement-250ml/14295. It actually melts the surface of the plastic and bonds the to plastic pipes together.
Patric Alright, i'll look into it, thank you very much Patric ;)
No worries! I don't think the pipe splitting trick will work with solvent weld though!
abs glue is yellow.
3 rules of plumbing. Make sure shit flows down hill, Don't bite your nails and payday is on friday
keep at it dude you'll get more subscribers.
Cristian Munoz Thanks man, yes I am hoping to get more for sure, i'd love also to help out with any plumbing questions concerning the code and such, glad you liked the video !!!
Got2Learn yeah dude you should probably start posting how to videos n more people will find out about you.
Cristian Munoz The only problem is I don't do CZcams videos full time because of my main job, I do however release a video every 3-4 weeks, I'd love to make more, just don't got the time...
Master plumbers haven't been around since you guys have been master baiting.lol
How about the pipe stretcher trick? Next vid?
Lol send me one ;)
@@Got2Learn its called a coupling lol. Cool channel. Dont let the know it all haters get to you.. Im a successful union plumber in seattle washington. The pen trick with tephlon tape is a game changer
Thx Adam, welcome unboard ;)
Yes that is nice work. But can you show actually do it under a house with only 12” of space between ground and soft floor🤓
I 56
Good steps, but watch the measurements, the 1" copper 45 has an allowance of 3/8" not 1/2" . you should always have manufacturer spec and tape measure the fitting on site as well to compare
U guys still use abs pipe
Substract?
Yellow teflon is for gas lines
👍🏻
Good info ...but substract?
Thanks, sorry I am not perfectly bilingual :(
Is OK, better than me, English is my 2nd language. It's also my 1st language. 🤓
Thanks for understanding ;)
I miss speaking franglais since I moved to Wisconsin. My wife and I sometimes have problems speaking English to each other.
I'll be a master plumber yet
No messing you just blew my F***ing mind lol so obvious but not until youve seen it. Ptfe on a pen wtf legend
Glad I was able to give you something buddy ;)
Got2Learn im a qualified plumber and will definatley be doingbtge whole saw trick im gna find some board tmoz just to show off ha ha
Please share around, thanks!!
After seeing the Teflon tape trick... I'm just mad at myself.
Andrew Drozd Lol ;)
How about u put some new tricks for a ol skoo plumber . Thats info for a green helper
+service c more tricks soon !!!
already knew all of those but I don't see the point of cutting the fitting off like that. Generally you want to salvage the fitting, not the piece of pipe. Salvaging the fitting can be achieved by cutting it off flush and cutting a notch on the pipe stuck inside the hub. Then put the fitting in a chain vise and with a hammer and slot screwdriver you can chip out the notch. Once the small notched piece is removed you can easily chisel around the remaining portion of the pipe and it should pop out of the fitting relatively easily if it hasn't been sitting too long.
Substract? I always thought it was subtract
You broke the pipe taking it off.
Brent Sharpnack Yep, that happens, but if you are more careful it won't break.
Got2Learn oh okay
;)
👍
😉
Sorry i meant to say subtract the depth of the fittings as shown not add , thanks
What exactly did you substract ?
you deemed pipe
NOOO! Not math!
Substract! 😂 its subtract bud.
Sagar electrician and plumber
Sagar Lohar?
the best is still flax hair and the fat, is always closed and about hundred years also, but not with tefelon that decays after a while and it starts to leak
Cpvc glue on drain pipe??
It's ABS glue.
Wow its like u were my apprentice
Why didn't you just put the teflon tape on the adapter before you put it on the pipe?
Are you kidding lol?
Um...Was that CPVC glue on ABS pipe & fitting?
UM...yeah...
You lost me at substract.
cakeman58 Sorry man, I really thought that's how it was spelled lol, I am bilingual:)
Got2Learn you got me back with bilingual!
cakeman58 Didn't go to english school, forgive me ;)
Tried the 45 to 45 deree set , didnt work !
mark howard Tell me step by step how you did it and we will see where things went wrong.
Of course it works. Basic math. Pythagoras' theorem in fact. Square root of 2 = 1.414...
