Just a tip on the coupling. If you can swing it use a dresser type coupling for a more permanent fix. They are high as hell but the longevity is far greater than the type used here. I use these for convenience but ive never considered them a permanent fix. If used be prepared down the line for it to fail. If you see a drop in pressure this would be the first place to check. The couplings im referring to have flanges and gaskets and bolts. They require more room but aside from rethreading or replacing lines its about the best repair method out there. The cost for a 3/4" compression coupling like used here is from 8.00 to 16.00 the dresser type would be in the area of 40 to 80.00.

thank you

Soldering, Galvanised pipe? Lmao. What pipes are these ,magic Nigerian pipes😂

Xx

🤣🤣🤣🙌

Me... I’m almost done. Lol

Yoooo.....y'all know any good plumbers in Houston? 👀

Me

Bro Im in Arkansas and all of my galvanized pipes are dripping now. Insurance wont cover it...

thanks

👍

I know they got them too close they don't need to breed lol and have baby pipes lol

Have you used hemp? Why are you saying its bad? Any reasons?

​@@ecologicaltimewe use pipe dope and tape

ya

All these dresser couplings are temporary fixes. They last much longer on cold water lines, less on hot water lines. I’ve seen them last for over 20 years on cold water lines. But yes you are correct about these types of dresser couplings, they are not permanent. But you can get lucky sometimes.

You can see that pipe had years left on it - but I do agree with you 100%. Galvanized is so 1960's!

We smoke the hemp and use the white plumber's tape. Pipe dope or sealant is only to be used on the drains - not supply.

i would not use it for that. First convert the PVC to galvenised (two fittings) and then you dont need the Johnson coupler at all.

Hemp and Stag sealant for best results

they have slightly different expansion and contractions but because the coupler is a compression coupler i would not worry about two different pipes.

not sure if its useful with oil, i would use it

can use underground

@@ecologicaltime Thanks!

Yo should use the black steel pipe with gas, not this galvanized pipe.

yes

While you can, just be prepared to have another pinhole leak somewhere else.

Yes, this is a great option for you to repair this thing. This is a great fitting that will last a long time. Although if I was you I would go ahead and replace all of your galvanized pipes with pex if you can. None of the stupid rust/clogging issues and it gives you a little more freeze protection since it can expand a little bit if it freezes. But you should insulate your pipes anyways, because even in texas it can get cold as fuck.

yes if you think 5-7 years is permanent.

@@ecologicaltime It would be nice to line galvanized with an epoxy coating so the housewife doesn't have to clean up rust in the bowl.

@@DG-ie5ip no i was not saying pex wont last long. I was answering the earlier question about how long the coupler will last. My answer was not about pex pipes. I was replying to DF comment. Galvenized do rust and split... especially when they are run in the ground.

it will work in an emergency but you are taking a huge risk. 2 different plumbers told me that there's a risk of it "blowing apart"

I had a PVC replacement about a year ago, all good so far.

Schedule 40 PVC is not for pressure. CPVC on the other hand should work perfectly.

yes but hemp is best, seriously.

Tefloan tape using during fitting process mostly but joint cases use hemp string best gripper tightly

@@ecologicaltime you twist it the wrong way round

@@ecologicaltime you twist it the wrong way round

@@ecologicaltime yes it isn't carcinogenic. Keep teflon tape back away from touching your water. probably has a prop65 warning.

En Amazon. Busqe "galvanized pipe coupler."

far out man!

If ur wife has long enough hair, or u keep horses on ur spot, yank some tail ,works just as good, hemp is superior to PTF, provided it's wrapped around clockwise

Or a crafty wife might have hemp. It was great to watch how he prepared it.

i thought they the same thing, but hemp is best.

Hemp. H E M P

What is jointing paste?

@@Susan70003 .... it’s a linseed oil based paste with the consistency of tooth paste , it’s used for threaded pipes in gas work but can be used in water pipes but you need hemp as well to make a water tight joint , it’s mainly used in commercial and industrial pipe work these days..... 👍

@@yensabi If it's the white stuff it specifically says not to use for supply - only drains.

its the stem of the cannabis plant

if you have used it you would know why people continue to use it.
