Should really solder in a shutoff below that plastic stuff.
In spanish please: what is "plumber's putty"?
What is the name of that bendable wrench?

Where can I buy this kit? Thanks

Anyone have a video on a single stage water filter that ties straight into the kitchen faucet and doesn't have its own?
What is the plastic tubing called that connects it, what size is it?
00:58 I hate when plumbers use channellocks with teeth on hex head fittings, its a major pet peeve of mine. Is it really too difficult to use a crescent wrench? I mean you already got the one sitting right in front of you that you used for the supply line...
Saw this a couple days ago on Pluto tv and been thinking about doing it. Thanks for all your informative videos. Makes a fine workman.
