Have you ever touched on why you should NEVER tie brass and galvanized fittings together? The metals react chemically which causes both sides to corrode at a significantly accelerated rate, sometimes it blows in 6 months, sometimes it takes 2-3 years. That water heater with the galvanized feeding in to sharkbites would've blown in no time.

At a retail store I work at, in the mens public washroom, the toilets were not bolted, or otherwise fixed, to the floor so you could easily shift the toilets side-to-side on their base. The only thing holding those toilets to the floor was the plumbing. Needless to say, the floor around them needed constant moping due to water leakage. Luckily, no one has had an accident in the toilets breaking away from the plumbing.

First think I did when I bought my out of state, 90s era house was to look at the plumbing that was given the OK by an inspector. I found the original 50 gal water heater in the second story attic rusting in all the wrong places. I called a local outfit to remove it and put in a tankless unit in the garage. Coming from the north, I never saw a HW tank in an attic but it is done all the time in the south. Crazy idea even if there is little worry about freezing.

I do have a question, I understand that a sharkbite is a push-to-connect fitting, and I understand that they're designed to bite harder against back pressure in normal operating conditions, so why is it considered not OK to use them? I have sharkbites on the line going to my water dispenser, and they've been solid for years (It was what the machine came equipped with, on tiny pex fridge-water line). Thanks for posting!

Man, I wish I had some pics of the house down the road from where I grew up. Their "water heater" was about 100 feet of garden hose laid across the roof. Their faucets were garden bibs, angle valves, or whatever other valves they could scrounge up. The drains were 5 gallon buckets under sinks and toilets and "showers" were drained to a pit in the yard. And, as you can imagine, the whole "system" was a mish-mash of any and everything they could find a way to stick together by whatever means, including duct tape and even packing tape!

@dividebyzero1000 3 жыл бұрын

Got charged $800 for a plumber to replace 3' of drain pipe to a sink, and put some sort of compression seal on a leaky cast drain. (The sink was draining to this same cast iron drain) About 2 months later that cast iron pipe clogged, but I didn't have a million bucks to call the plumber again. Replaced 10 feet of the 10" pipe. It looked just like that photo in this video. Also replaced the toilet flange, and the same sink drain again. The other issue I had was the toilet flushing would temporarily overwhelm the cast iron pipe, and send water over to the basement sink's pump via a wet drain. Not a plumber myself, but that seemed like a bad setup to have toilet solids being routed to a pump not rated for that. I wasn't sure what would happen if I just eliminated the wet drain. Instead I built a sort of upside down water trap to allow air to pass as needed to/from the toilet, but prevent water and toilet solids from going down the wet drain. My whole project cost me around $100 and about 1 day's work. Only mistakes I made were: 1. There is probably a better way to fix the wet drain issue. 2. The old pipe was 10", I replaced it with about the same dimension PVC. I should have dropped to a 4" pipe. But whatever, it worked, and had no more issues. I could flush the toilet and not hear the pump kick on downstairs.

All the drains had backfall no vent penetrating the roof, a maxi studor vent, and all of it feed off a 30 gal ng water heater that had to be 25 years old. Our service manager wrote me up for laughing at it, i tried to explain to the home owners that their chooses of fixtures and the cobbled nature of the plumbing that had been done to date could not meet code nor common sense.

My parents in 1985 had a water tank ruppture in the loft/attic space. It was due to the pipes freezing in the winter. The water flooded the whole house, they came home & said it was coming down the staries like a waterfull. The dog was floating around in his bed soaking wet & while the insurence covered the damages. The whole house had to be gutted & rebuilt, about 95% of the belongins in the house ended up in the skip. What did suvive the initial flooding went into storage & then proceeded to go moldy & also had to be skiped. This was also around the time of their wedding to. Since that inserdent my parents have not been a fan of any kind of water tank in the loft. PS: The dog was fine just a little cold & wet.

This guy is awesome at what he does. I wish he was in California because he would be the plumber to call.

That water heater explosion clip ... it's like taken straight out of the Mythbusters episode where they shot a water heater through a roof!

You did see the water heater or rather its parts, the outer shell was against the wall peeled open flat, the ther peice of she metle may have been part of the tank, the bottom is the round section of sheet metal under the new sky light.

Looks like water heater had no actual pressure relief and exploded...right through the roof. Just pieces left. The dangers of steam pressure...

My step-dad told me they responded to a water heater explosion when he was a firefighter. He said the only wall that was left intact was the wall next to the baby's crib. No baby's hurt.
