Can I use teflon tape when attaching a hose nozzle to my garden hose? The rubber gaskets tend to spring leaks quite easily. Thanks for you very information video.
@masterflowplumbing9812Сағат бұрын
Teflon tape in the threads alone won’t help. The rubber washer also serves as a spacer so to speak. Without it in place the hose fitting will always be loose. Replace the washer often. amzn.to/4fKjjZr

I'm terrified of those soft supply hoses. I know people who had violent blowouts of those and flooded their entire house very quickly. The "building industry" doesn't care and benefits from house flooding. I don't want to be a sucker who falls for this nonsense. The hose doesn't even have to be old, it can just be defective from factory.

@@masterflowplumbing9812 The problem is - as a homeowner, I have no idea how to "buy good ones". But I do know that stiff metal tubes with compression fittings will not be dislodged if they start leaking - the leak will always be relatively slow and never sudden - it can only be created by an external mechanical action.

If I can't disconnect a line under the bathroom sink valve because of corrosion, are there 1/2 inch to 1/2 inch extender supply lines available that don't require compression-to-compression connection fittings? Specifically, I need an extender to connect to an existing 1/2 inch connection, the 3/8 is already connected to the valve I don't want to remove either the old valve or the line. Hope this makes sense.

Seems this guy doesn't deal with many septic system homes. Otherwise he'd be singing a different tune about the grind quality difference between the various models. I agree with public drainage systems, as long as you have a decent sized drain setup, that's properly plumbed, you might not "need" (technically) a multi-stage grind unit. Could get away with a single stage unit, as it all just flows to a treatment plant. Not the case with septic systems and their drain fields. Also, different households have different needs. Some people cook way more, or entertain more, than others. Standalone homes have various outdoor garbage needs/issues (animals, pests, rodents). Some might be more environmentally conscious, etc. Not all households have the same needs. In which case not all of them have the same disposal requirements.
@BigBear--24 күн бұрын
Aside from all that. I would personally skip the leak prone Badger series entirely if you own your home/condo (not renting). Start with the Contractor series as the baseline, and go up from there if you wish for a more robust, or feature rich unit.
@masterflowplumbing981220 күн бұрын
When was the last time you purchased a contractor series unit ? ISE stopped making those years ago. The average person does not need extra power unless like I said you wanna grind up the Christmas tree after new year lol. And bad for a drain field huh ? That’s false. Food through a disposal is not much different than food through you. Missing a few stomach enzymes is all and there are already plenty of those in septic systems. Most modern septic tanks have filters before the exit to the field so again no worries. But yeah call me out on another one of my videos. I appreciate you watching.
@BigBear--19 күн бұрын
@@masterflowplumbing9812You are hilarious. The "Contractor Series" that you might be thinking of, only was discountinued sometime between 2021-2023. They are still available for sale as new all over the place (Insinkerator honors the warranty from either the time of purchase, or date of installation). Besides that Insinkerator currently still makes the model "Contractor 333", which is part of their "Power Series", which technically replaces the Contractor Series. So whether the older or newer, they are both still available as Contractor models. Besides that, not sure how you'd know much about septic issues, as you're not the guy that would be called to take care of those issues. People call septic tank service companies, not plumbers, to deal with septic systems. What I was referring to as far as potential drain field blockages, happens quite often with people that have underpowered, or disposal units that don't grind small enough. What happens is either the chunks are too big or stringy to be quickly broken down inside the septic tank, and float over and clog the filters, or entrance to the drain fields. Which slows the draining to the field, often enough that it can start backing up the septic tank into overflow, or start backing up into the home plumbing. Another issue if food scraps are not finely ground is stringy bits of organic matter from things like banana's, celery, potato peels, carrot peels, etc. Can get caught on the filters, encourging biomat growth that latch onto those things, further clogging the drainage. So short answer is yes, if you're using a garbage disposal with a Septic system, it's ideal to have that waste be as finely ground as possible. There is a big difference in grind quality between the various units, they are not all the same. Which is why I was saying it's important to consider multiple factors, before recommending a specific unit to someone. As far as my personal history with disposals. My last personal purchase was an Insinkerator Pro 1100XL, that I purchased brand new about 2-3 weeks ago. To replace a 3/4HP Badger unit that failed after a little more than 3 years of very light use. I specifically wanted the Pro 1100XL, as the newer top of the line Advanced Series, has the same 3 stage grinder elements (the 4th stage in the 4 stage units isn't an actual grind stage, but just a wiper arm underneath the cutter disk), but it is lacking other features like the jam sensor, and auto reverse that the previous gen 1100XL had. Pretty sure whether it's enforced by Whirlpool, or Insinkerator decided on their own, but they are cost cutting these units down in terms of features, and potentially their overall quality. Another reason I wanted a pre-Whirlpool designed model. Just in case.

Would you recommend buying the Auto Cut. Amazon sells this exact model it's 54 dollars? I'm having trouble cutting off 1 mm thick rings off 3/4" copper pipe.I make keychains. Is there a way to sharpen the blade on a regular pipe cutter? Or would yhe Auto Cut be better? Or should I just pay $15 and get a regular pipe cutter I make keychains and having a solid piece that can slip onto a person's keychain is a lot more stable than using a jump ring. 1 mm in thickness looks the best but but it's really hard to do. Like hours go bye while i try and retry.

Over-lapping is not good... Having too much tape off the threads hanging over the opening of the pipe could cause small pieces of the tape to come off and cause an issue of it doesn't come out the faucet. On gas pipe applications, it could cause more issues. The fragmented pieces of tape could block parts and cause reduced gases from passing thru to the burner.

Probably should've gotten stitches bc it's having a hard time healing in the inside knuckle of the thumb. Stay safe, the tool doesn't know to stop.

I always assumed the wrap should be in the direction that will cause the item being threaded on the pipe to tighten the teflon tape wrap rather than loosen it. I just visualize how I'll twist something onto the pipe and wrap in the same direction. Using a piece of loose pipe is easy but unrealistic. You ignored the issue of how to hold the roll of tape while wrapping a fixed pipe.
