I use some channel lock pliers and give those copper crimp rings a light squeeze to hold them in place until they're crimped, saves a fair amount of time and fuss, especially in cramped or overhead connections. Great vid. TY Daniel
Great video what is the music in the back ground at 7:11 thanks
I used the push to connect fittings and I haven't had any leaks in over a year. If you have long runs I recommend buying a roll of the tubing vs 10ft stick. Way less connections that way. Thanks Daniel for sharing your talent and video, Rodney
Wow, where I am we don't run water pipes through any outside wall.
Nice video. but that cut on the pvc needs to be square. Glad it's mostly useful for pex. And I hope you have GFCI receptacles.
Is your garbage heated or do you drain for the winter?
Just a note on the adapter you used to change over from PVC to PEX. 7:57 I used PVC almost exclusively for 30+ years installing and repairing water well pumps. It's not a good idea to thread a metal male thread ftg into a PVC female thread ftg. It's always better to go from PVC male thread to metal female thread. Reason being, if the joint is over tightened, the female PVC can eventually split and obviously leak. My sister found this out last year when the water line in the wall to frig in their beautiful kitchen remodel leaked. What a mess. Thank goodness for insurance.
U can rent that Pex A tool if you look around. Not sure where your at but even in a couple of small towns I have found that tool to be available.
any leaks in 2020 DAN ???
I've used the 3/8" Upinor Pex-A expansion rings in place of hose clamps, when replacing air-compressor hose fittings…and garden hose fittings, just remember to wrap the rings with some kinda tape to protect from UV rays
