The only challenge I had was getting slip couplings to slide over existing pipes. With a bit of emery cloth and elbow grease, I was able to enable slip couplings to move all the way onto on side of each pipe. Thanks again!

@hyperliterider861 the problem with allowing sharkbites for temp fixes is you have to make them an approved fitting. Once you do that you can't say its approved but only as a temp fix. It becomes standard practice. Then every homeowner or idiot handyman installs them the wrong way. People tend to forget plumbers do what we do to protect the health and safety of the nation. So yes shark bites are an easy fix any one can do but you open the door to very unsafe practices

In the case of cutting a piece of solid tubing to put a tee in you don't need to put in 2 couplings with the tee, you only need one slip coupling. Then you go from 6 spots you need to prep and solder to 4 spots you have to do, it also lessons the likelihood of having a leak. Also don't put shark bite fittings behind walls you are just asking for a problem, in a place you can easily get to if it doesn't hold go for it.

@dlwaterloo2221 3 жыл бұрын

The situation as explained was that there was no movement in the pipes to allow a conventional fitting without the risk of bending. I’m not sure why all the experts are saying use one slide coupling. The price between the two fittings is maybe a few cents, and using two slide couplings is so much easier. Mark the pipe 5/8” on either side of the cut, slide the coupling on to the pipe, insert the new assembly, slide the coupling into place and solder. Some people have said use the tee to reduce a solder joint in the wall. If you know how to solder properly, obe joint or 20 joints doesn’t matter.

@michaelbrewer3018 3 жыл бұрын

@@dlwaterloo2221 Plumbing contractor here. On probably 95% of situations only 1 slip coupling is necessary so I can see why people are saying 2 is 2 many. First, slip couplings are not just a few cents more. Slip couplings are maybe only a few dollars more at smaller sizes but start moving up in pipe size and they become incredibly more expensive. Also, it's not only about price but fitting reduction, I will always try to use the least amount of fittings in my installation. Less fittings looks cleaner and is one less thing that can potentially leak in the future.

@dlwaterloo2221 3 жыл бұрын

@@michaelbrewer3018 also a contractor here. Every situation is different. I faced a similar repair but had the pipe run through the studs drilled with less than 5/8” holes. Almost zero horizontal and vertical movement. I was faced with cutting back the pipe run to the next cavity and opening the hole to allow movement, creating another coupling, or using a second slip coupling instead of trying to push the tee on the pipe. The example, as explained, was for 1/2” copper. I agree using slip couplings on 1 1/4 and up presents challenges, but you also have a trade off if much less flexibility in pipe movement.

In the beginning, and at the end he made 3 cuts in total, he cut both ends and used 2 slip couplings and a third cut for the "T" fitting in the middle, but you only need to make 1 cut for a clip coupling and leave the other pipe alone, then make the cut for the "T" fitting in place and then use the one slip coupling.

Great videos man. Like others said, only one slip is necessary. I'd recommend that anyone soldering move their torch around more. If you hold your torch in the same spot you risk burning the flux out before the solder takes, as well as not having even penetration. The pipe shouldn't turn that dark color. At least thats how I was taught.

@rickyedwards7504 3 жыл бұрын

You must be careful moving torch, solder must be liquid around fitting at the same time. If solder melts opposite flame I know it’s right

I’m here in France. All even sizes of metric pipe are used and are available everywhere. For example, 10mm ID with 12mm OD, 12mm ID with 14mm OD, 14mm ID with 16mm OD and so on. You get the drift, I’m sure. Of course, using this system, with it’s great range of sizes, it is easy to make your own reducers and sleeves using the next size of pipe, since one slips perfectly inside the other. It is also great to be able to calculate pipe sizes really accurately for central heating systems. In the USA (and the UK), you are stuck with using a very limited, catch all range of pipe sizes which so often means overkill when installing. Either way, love your videos and one day you guys across the pond might arrive in the 21st century and start using metric..... but I won’t hold my breath!! 😀👍

Thank you, all your videos have been super helpful so far! I'm in a program right now where we get deducted points if our solder puddles at the bottom, they are really pushing us to not use too much solder. I guess my question is, is it possible to tell if a joint will be watertight just from looking at it and picking it? We are being taught to pick it to make sure but so far in my experience, it seems easier to just do it right first rather than trying to redo the joint... I'm bending out the length of solder for the corresponding pipe size so there's no confusion. If everything was cleaned and fluxed correctly and 1/2" of solder went into the 1/2" pipe, can I pretty much assume that it will be watertight? thanks!

I just added a zone to my Hot Water System and had to tap into lines adding both a Control Valve and a "T" --in two locations. One T leaked on one side and is tough to reach. The mistake, I think, was forcing the pipe into the T fitting but it did not fit smoothly and was slightly cocked. This is old work I was soldering into. Added a slip coupling and redid the joint, so all's well now. Lesson: If the plumbing does not fit together smoothly, it likely will not solder leak free. In my case, I was mad it took another chunk of my time to redo this joint not to mention buying another propane tank--right now, the pricing is crazy. NUTS----$42 for a 10 foot length of 3/4" L Copper pipe. I should have did this job 20 years ago when the thought first occurred. Thanks for the video.

I know sharkbites are not popular here but in this application I have one observation. When using them on copper pipe, you need to remove the inner plastic sleeve/insert. Those are meant to be used only with plastic pipe. With copper pipe they flop around and get in the way and prevent full insertion. As you can see in video, he had to rock it around to get it to seat. Additionally, can restrict flow, cause turbulence and catch loose chips of scale in hot water lines and cause a blockage. So, again remove the insert when using on copper.

This is not written anyplace on any of the technical sheets for sharkbite. I have done about a dozen connections exactly as the SB comes, on copper pipe.

Got my journeyman ticket in 76. This is how I would do it. Some say one too many coupling. Thats ok. This is easy.

I have a pipe cutter just like that, but it's 1/2". I have found through frustration that the cutting wheel inside must be slightly crooked so if I snap it on and keep turning in one direction, it creates fine screw threads on the pipe as it walks itself along but never cuts through. I had success by learning to go back and forth rather than around and around. The 3/4" one is probably more robust.

I often find at Home Depot that the people in plumbing isle don’t know the difference between a stop coupling and a slip coupling and put the stock in the wrong bins.

Definitely when buying pieces at Home Depot you need to check EVERY piece. Bags or boxes are much safer then just need to check it hasn't been opened, and the label is what you need.
