Quick water heater replacement #plumbing #plumber #shortscreator

You know do you ever feel like propress and pex are killing our trade making it to easy so homeowner can do it just wondering if sweating pipe is gonna be obsolete whole reason I became a plumber is fire 🔥😁

¿Cómo se llama esa herramienta y dónde se puede comprar? Gracias.

Dodgy dodgy dodgy

Nope don’t like it

I’m curious what the sharpie marks are for before you press it

No dielectric unions?

That’s awesome. Great job on installing that expansion tank with the proper bracket..

I would have put a union on hotand cold that way the heater is easier to replace but everything else . Me gusta

Great job man. Keep’em coming. Glad I found your channel. What model Ridgid Pro-press are you using.

In which country will such antiques be installed in 2023?

Pro press looks cheap to me, I still prefer to solder it up myself. Has the benefit of less copper waste when making repairs as well as just looking better.

That said pro press does have it's place. Like repairing a 2 inch line in a hotel where draining water takes 5 hours.

Did you ever try the pro press x female t’s? Viega definitely makes the best ones. We use them and then just strap the expansion tank with banding iron and stove bolts

Nice clean install.

Copper to galvanized pipe should have a dielectric union to prevent rust in a future. Other than that, it looks good 👍

Glad I just retired, it won't be long before some cunt will use these fittings on gas

Need some music or voice over explaining your process… great werk though (and that’s what’s more important)

So what’s the purpose of that expansion tank?? I’m not a plumber 👨‍🔧

الله إعاونك وتبارك الله عليك بلومبي فنان....حتى أنا لي نفس الحرفة بلومبي

Love the propress and c1 kit!

Why didn't you finish the job and replace the flue? Also what was used to prevent electrolysis?

this would fail any inspection. ALL tanks that have 3 inch exhausts must be changed to 4 inch exhaust pipes when swapping out tanks for a new one.

Freakin sweet!!!

Realmente será a prueba de fugas, resistirá alta presión, agua,gas o vapor.

Beautiful

in dallas the inspectors need a union nut or flexible hoses if it doesn't pass inspection

All that to leave an old gate valve installed 🤣

Where's your vacuum breaker?

Can someone please tell me what that copper clamper tool is called and what brand makes it? I’m sick of soldering

Kinda memorized by that tool. I've watched this on a loop

Brass fitting between galvanized and copper tubing and your good. If you want to take it a step further… a union and a ball valve to replace expansion tank would be nice.

Good installation but the guy is not using dielectric unions smh.

😂 На от.бись, вообще есть специальный флюс с припоем и эта вся песня Паяется.

Gonna suck if you have to remove the water heater. No unions.

push and pulls baby we love them!

Muy buen trabajo felicitaciones, el único detalle faltan unas tuercas union para futuros mantenimientos solo eso pero de lo demás es excelente

Please put a finger between those jawz and show the result for safety sake? Ty...

WHAT ?
Will those unions hold pressure ???

This dude obviously doesn't know what he is doing, sure he has a new toy but with no dielectric unions on the galvanized pipe connections it's going to rot through plus if we're me I would solder all the joints - he probably can't solder .

I hate this crap now what do you do if it’s a emergency

What? No isolation valves?

Lol why are you using the C1 head for easily accessible fittings?

Looks clean and good on you for knowing to mark your fittings on pro press. Only gripe is the way you mounted the expansion tank. If/when that fills with water that’s going to put a lot of tension on that long piece of copper you used.

Now that’s how I call making money on a water heater

No good. Tank wrong way, can’t drain out or be flushed. Bladder will be toast premature

Only angle jaws no regular jaws? (Just asking because we have both and the regular jaws are easier sometimes)

🤦🏽 I know this is a stupid question, but can you still flux and solder joint later on if leaks occur?

My question is why make it so hard to replace the water heater? I’ve seen water heaters installed with just a channel lock and a pipe wrench

Id just sweat on male adapters and run stainless flex lines

You would of made an extra $20 on that job if you knew how to solder. That could add up to $300-400 per week or $15-20k per year.
