Strap wrench man

It’s always very funny 😁 when a DYI dude try to correct someone that is been in the trade for 30 years Instead of saying thanks for sharing his knowledge for free There is so many ways of using Chanel locks that you don’t learn with out experience He did all that work straight out of the truck You probably also had run the hardware store 10 times to get your push fittings 🤣 Also there is teeth less Chanel locks Thanks Steve for sharing your knowledge with these unthankful. People

@@mikhaielj....... My comment was addressed to Steve, not you mikhaielj ...just giving him a hard time...(joke) Maybe you didn't read my comment...."2-3 a month" and I'm not even a service plumber. I just do it for my client's friends and such. Hand me a set of plans and I'll plumb that Mansion from the ground up by myself. 40 yrs in the plumbers union...2 fully vested retirements. It's always funny 😁 when someone thinks they know me...don't pretend you do....and Steve could have just replaced the stem/cartridges/handles. But maybe the home owner wanted a more modern single handle valve. His locks had teeth...and that's fine...just don't teach it. Stay in your lane mikhaielj ...

I apologize

@@mikhaielj Thx, accepted

lol

The homeowner talking is the best part! 😂

Kregg Solto

me too...LOL

Kregg Soltow not really Greg you see I am a Viking Anna Nicole Smith

agree 100% was no need for that hole

Looks ugly to me

Yup, and always check far side of wall for anyelectrical,, ,

Or go back with another 2 handle since they outperform single handle valves anyways....

+Pete Mago thanks for the support

i kinda just tuned him out and did my job

I was waiting for “every oowaa you stand dar bulkshittin wit me is noindy Faiiive doooollas guy”

+stevealaska73 I was thinking the same: no gasket ??? That's recipe for mold growth behind that plate and inside...

Idk about those repair/smitty plates but some of the shower face plates come wth a soft sealant ring on the back just inside the lip.. You cant see it but it stops the water so you don't have to use a sealant

I wondered how far down into the comments would I c this question. It doesn't look like it's waterproof

jsbenami i am glad you enjoyed it lol

Thanks for sharing this stuff boss. It's helping allot. I'm watching your toilet flang vid. I'm doin' all this stuff tearing out my 40's bathroom. HAHA smoke alarm.

That ain’t no nyc accent

homeowners talking don't really borther me to much i left it in because its real world stuff

I simply shut the bathroom door while I work if someone insists in bothering me.....doesn't happen often but 'I don't like distractions

so true he couldve just work from the other wall and change the valves

He could just offer the same kind of valves and safe the tile, but many times plumbers wants to sell you what they already have in the truck and this is what happens 😆

I do plumbing but i always ask the customer give them what they want they are paying i do what they say never destroy the tile like thatif i need a quick repair i take control of the problem and after give them the choices

He's a plumber in Massachusetts. The valve he is installing is correct. By code up here you are not supposed to install the old two handle shower valves due to scalding. Hot water out of shower head must not exceed 112 degrees farenheit. Also a liability on Steve if someone gets scalded after he leaves, I would do the same thing. Keep up the good work Steve.

BILL W You are correct but he could of plumbed the hot and cold water lines into the tile holes from behind with new male adapters and install modern style anti scald valves that run along the tile wall. These are the nice chrome modern rectangular valves where the valve is actually outside the wall and they grab the tile with clips/screws. The shower head pipe runs along a rectangular body to the top. These are one handle but you can utizilize the 2 holes already for the hot and cold. They are expensive but its up to the customers budget always.

TheBigBadGamer101 he was fed up with the owner lol

cause he's a hack

+Vytautas Poška sounds like your off to a good start

i will try to bring more plumbing videos thanks for watching jeff

+100% percent thanks for watching

yes guy was funny

18:04 "I loved her to pieces. hahahahhahaha!"

+Allbbrz good luck with it

I put several of these in I always use a small bead of silicone around the top and sides of the plate and do the same to the tub spout

Jason Sanitz yes it worked fine

symmons is a good valve i work on a like of them

simmons are very popular up my way ,,the old delta the 3 small tubs tent to twist off when removing some times if not removed properly

steven lavimoniere I also live in massachusetts, and I work on Simmons valves ten fold and I have many customers with Deltas and hardly ever need to service them. And it is very inexpensive to replace springs & washers on them. Opposed to a $45 spindle on Simmons , I know you can replace the washers on Simmons but it's a pain. I've had more than a few problems with Simmons where I couldn't explain why I could not fix a no hot water problem new ta-10, new seats, hot water in but no hot water out, as well as hard to service seats if not impossible on an old valve. My older customers really like the easy to shut off of a Delta! Grab one one day and see if you like them they are pretty inexpensive as well. Love you videos Keep them coming!

tom plumb i have been meaning to do a video on simmons tub/shower valves there are a few tricks i have found that work for me

he was swearing alot

...homeowner has a point though. Be careful who you're marrying or just don't get married. they 'could' take you for all you have if they're vengeful types. If you have kids though, BOTH parents should always be obligated to support the kids financially, or don't have kids. I don't believe in alimony though. UNLESS the one spouse worked and put the other one through school, and then that person divorces them. that's not right, the person should pay the other back for their schooling. there are varying circumstances, but to get alimony just because you hate the person or are vindictive, is not right.

Pittsburgh wondering the same thing. Ridiculous.

I was thinking the same thing hahahahaha

@@lilshik69 lol

@@peterkonitzer4410 You don't get the point at all. Why cut open the wall on the tile side to begin with? Duhhh

@@nathanr.8556 The escutcheon for the single handle valve will not cover both of the existing holes of the two handle valve.

thanks jim

it is easy

thanks tim for watching

Ivan Esce went from 2 handle to single handle

Thanks. I did not watch the whole thing, my bad. I was looking to replace the valve assembly without disrupting the tile given no rear wall access. There seems to be no example of that (soldering successfully through a tight hole). I imagine there are skilled plumbers that can pull it off, I am neither that skilled or a plumber. Since I was going to replace my tile walls eventually, my hand was forced by a broken valve; I tore down my walls, soldered the new valve assembly, and will replace walls with 1/4” Corean in the next few days. If I had planned better I would have moved the valve assembly to a wall I could access in the future. Maybe if it fails in the next 20 years I’ll do that. Merry Christmas. 🎄 And good cheer.

Yes he is

Because he was replacing a two control trim with a one control trim.
