Thanks for the video, and keeping it real.

Enjoyed your video, perseverance, and learning tips (do's and dont's). Viewers can experience and learn and get perspective on these projects. Aloha.

Next time you need to open up any part of your plumbing (ie. Angle valves for faucets, toilets, shower valves etc.) shut off the water to the house and open up all fixtures and open up a hose bibb or two to completely drain the water from the home. Also on a conventional water heater, a 40 gallon heater will have generate about 1 gallon of water from heat expansion. So open the Temperature and Pressure valve to release pressure and prevent water in the hot supply lines.

A TRUE DAD raises his voice talkng about the work he's doing🎉 a memo to the young one to "KEEP IT DOWN" instead of going completely off his rocker on the kiddo by screaming @them and intimidating them❤😅😂

My valves were leaking and I found out that they were connected with PEX, not copper pipe. This house was built in 2007 and it seems that builders use PEX when copper is not absolutely required. I haven't done the work yet because I need that PEX crimp tool but I bought the PEX clamp removal tool. I bought the same valves that you have and bought a threaded connector to PEX that I can screw on the valve. Your video was very informative and will be helpful when I get ready to do the job. Because the valve leaks into the washer hose, I don't need to address it right now because as long as it is hooked up to the machine, the water just stays in the line. I also bought a plastic access door so that I don't have to try to put the sheetrock that I will cut out back in place. The access door will make it easier for future issues. Thanks for the video.

Thank you for sharing this video. Most DIY videos are like "the perfect scenario" and that is NEVER my situation. Mine is more of the "oh dear God, now what do I do?!" scenario. Unfortunately, I am still not looking forward to having to replace my faucets. 😭

Cooking? I thought we were just changing a couple valves. lol 😂

I know this was 3 yrs ago, but I had same problem, looking for a specific remedy. I watched your video in full, and at the end, you mentioned a video to repair the drywall. I know how to do that, but in your situation, why not just create a removable frame (plastic wood?) with a screen or grate, to place over that hole, to allow you to check on leaks? Easy peasy, and avoids having to recut that hole should leak ever appear. Easy to monitor and access.

You were very helpful. Thank you and may God bless you.

Great! I'm doing the same thing today.

Good job bro.

Nice job, but you forgot to purchase the drain coupler when you returned to the store to get a smaller pipe cutter. I am doing the same project, and watching your video reminded me to get some abs glue.

So heads up for the next guy. Get a shark bite coupling and shark bite x female adapter and a valve that just screws into the adapter end.

I’m a big fan on using Shark Bite fittings, but not in walls or where they are hidden from view, (possible leaks down the road that will cause unforeseen water damage)

Shut off water at Water Heater if hot water valve continues to leak.

Drain the lowest valve like an outside hose connection.

Shut off hot water heater supply.

so it wasn't possible to just unscrew the valves and replace them?

where did you get those flange plastic pieces you retro fitted?

Try a file on those jagged edges next time, maybe!???

The hot water washer hose will not come off. Tried to loosen and tighten the hose to hopefully get some movement but it wouldn’t budge. In doing so, the whole valve assembly moved about an inch to the left and right a few times. It occurred to me that I was bending the copper tube below and behind the drywall. Should I be worried? Fill time for the washing machine didn’t change. Should I be worried? Is the copper pipe much stronger than I give it credit for?

And because I want to run this joke into the ground....First!

Why do you have to shut off the gas line to replace these valves? I think you should be able to still COOK while your taking the valves out. You should shut off the main water supply to the house & drain the water out of the house piping. You can go to an outside spigot to do that. Basically just get the water level in the house pipes lower that the washing machine shutoff valves. Depends on whether you have the clothes washer on the 1st or 2nd floor. I would then turn off the water valves on the natural gas water heater & also turn off the gas regulator there as well. That should do it.??? Don't forget to turn the gas water heater back on.

5:24 It's my understanding that once you put the SharkBite fitting on and take it off again..... it cant be trusted anymore.

Have you considered a career in comedy? 😆
