oh yeah quebec !
Hey what do you think of all the new Plumbing tools that Milwaukee's coming out with would you recommend any of those or have you tried any?
A burr can lead to a pinhole in the pipe? WTF are you talking about? The reason to ream the inside of your cut is to maximize flow by keeping friction losses at a minimum. After hearing that, I stopped watching.
Watch the animation, it shows how the burr creates a pinhole in time ;)
I have nothing to do with plumbing, but I watched the entire video. Why? Because of the presentation. He gets directly to the point, he is clear and concise. There is none of the blah blah blah in front of the camera and endless self-promotion. Very professional job. Congrats and thanks!
But what the fook is soddering?
Martin Smith it’s like melting metal onto a pipe to like glue them together
@@insane6142 I know what soldering is.
Same here
I did the exact same thing. I bet many bad plumbers do not de-burr cut pipes.
Great tips, I'm a retired plumbing contractor and this video has really good tips in it. Highly recommend it. Takes years to find out some of the stuff given here.
Thx @thomas bacon I really appreciate your comment, I sure hope this will help other people as well!
dido...Great job my brotha!!!!!!!!!!
I wish some of my teachers taught some of these in training. I learned most the hard way over year's of practice
@karel bellic not really needed unless cheap fittings and lack of solder, but on larger fittings (1 1/2+) never hurts
Agreed. I learned these the hard way over many years.
My uncle showed me the bread trick over 60 years ago when I was about 10. I used it years later and it worked perfectly.
Same here, my dad showed me that also I never forgot it.50 years ago.
The wrench tip is priceless; gonna be a big help, thanks.
🤗
Wow! In all of my years, and I’m 68, I’ve never seen such a great video on tips about plumbing until I seen this one! I’m not a plumber, more of a DIYer. Even when I was a carpenter, I never knew what to do when it came to plumbing. So just by watching others, I got a idea of how it was done.Now, I’m not afraid to take on other plumbing jobs around the house. Great video and tips!!!
Thank you so much Malcolm, comments like yours are what keep me going, have a great day sir!
Some great tips! Great camera work as well. One comment: my understanding is you should never use the torch to melt the solder (whether intentional, or accidentally). In other words, the torch flame should never touch the solder. The joint is properly heated when the joint itself is what melts the solder. Solder has a much lower melting point than copper. If you allow the torch flame to touch the solder, then it is very possible, in fact probable that the metal will not be hot enough to adequately bond to the solder, and you will wind up with a 'cold' solder joint. Consequently, I always pull the torch away from the joint before bringing the solder into contact with the joint.
I'm 61 now, and those were some of the best tricks ever. Especially the final one about heating the inside! Very tricky indeed. Thanks so much for this video. It will help many I'm very sure.
You are most welcome Robert! 🤗
Your info should be used for voc tech students learning. It is astounding how much these attention to details will minimize frustrating repairs later. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Peace.
🤗🤗🤗
im a mechanic and not a plumber. I was absolutely riveted by this entire video. the only trick i new was the bread plug thing. Respect to plumbers and all other tradesmen i pretend to be when working on my own house.
Not too many humble people like you, this channel needs more like you buddy @JandC Motorwerkz
I've done a LOT of copper soldering in my day and I've run into many of these issues. These are great tips to follow. Wish this video had been around years ago. These suggestions are simple to do and will make my life much easier. Keep them coming.
Thanks so much for commenting Rich, really appreciate it ;)
No problem. These were all great suggestions and I'm always looking for ways to make things go better or quicker. Keep them coming, really appreciate it
Super tips. For #23, I learned from an older plumber to use a straw and just blow out the residual water. Just need a drinking straw! So easy to do!
I am 47 y/o and have been DIY plumbing for years. I still love your videos and learn something everytime. Thanks for posting.
That is awesome, always love hearing that!
Awesome video! Lots of great tips for plumbing with copper. Thanks!
Thx @terry conroy, really appreciate your comment, if you can share it that would be very nice of you ;)
The most useful "How To" video I've ever come across. Thank you I Subscribed & liked
Thx @Guido Sarducci, really appreciate your comment, if you can share it that would be very nice of you ;)
Thank you so much for the time an effort that you put into making this video. I know nothing about plumbing but after watching the clip helped me out so much. Thank you.
thanks for taking the time to show this, just goes to show that you can teach an old dog new tricks
Another trick for those who haven't expensive heat sink paste. A lump of clay around the pipe does it for an excellent heat barrier when soldering close to another solder joint (risk of unsoldering or making it leak). Old school guys also use a wet rag to wrap around the joint that is to be protected, clay works a lot better though as it sticks directly to the pipe and can easily be removed and reused again.
YES! Thanks for sharing. I've never thought of putting a wet wrag around the joint that needs protecting. I've always just tried to use as little heat as possible so I can heat the specific joint and not another
WetRag Paste
does plumber's putty work instead of clay?
@@andrewk6008 I haven't tried it but I'd be worried about the heat and how it would affect the plumbing putty.
The bonus tip has to be the Teflon tape around the end of a pencil, how many of us have tried to break it off then feed it around manually!!
yeah it is annoying... I will definitely use the pencil tip
I don't get it. Wrap the teflon around a pencil first?
@@schmingusss yes, because it never stays on and straight if you break a bit off. Try it.
@@ifell3 and makes it easier to get back into small corners like the video showed. It really works.
aw, man. wish i had remembered THIS tip today, as I gnarled and shredded teflon tape in a too small area :(
Really helped me as a homeowner with a project I can’t get a real plumber for. I’m in a very rural area of Montana so like it or not, I am usually the plumber, electrician, carpenter, painter, mechanic, and gardener. I am very grateful for folks like you! Thank you, Thank you!
Glad I could help!!!
I'm 45 years in HVAC commercial your tips are so awesome wish I knew some of these tips "Back in the day" Thanks for such a great video, all points very well explained.
Thx @gregory kazian, really appreciate your comment, you don't have to but if you can share it, that would be very nice of you ;)
Great tips! My dad taught me most of these! Great to see new ones! The bread one is a classic!
Thx @Jay Me, really appreciate your comment, you don't have to but if you can share it, that would be very nice of you ;)
No. 25 was genius. Thanks, I'll use that next time.
Thx @david g, really appreciate your comment, if you can share it that would be very nice of you ;)
Yeah 25 is a new one for me...good to know this aswell 👊
Awesome ;)
In 50 yrs of plumbing, I never had a joint crack after using a wet rag on it to cool it. I did like the license plate trick!
Hi, Got2Learn! I really like your videos! You are an excellent teacher! I like the way you present plumbing. You are very thorough in your explanations. I work in property management and have needed to solder a pipe or two in my day and I always go to your channel for tips and advice. Thank you for the excellent work! Please keep the great videos coming!
Wow, thank you so much for this beautiful comment, cheers Steve!!! 😇
How there can be dislikes to this video is a mystery. These are great tips that take years to learn and acquire. Short and to the point. Great video!
Haters 😁
They are probably from electricians! LOL
@@Got2Learn you told people to spray water on drywall. NEVER put water on drywall. Firstly it can grow mold. Secondly, it starts to ruin the structural integrity. If they hang a picture there later or have a minor leak the drywall is way more likely to sag or crumble.
Not on the drywall, the wood, drywall is fire proof ;)
I’m a union sprinklerfitter by trade so we don’t do much copper except for sensing lines, mri rooms, and domestic backflows. I’ve def used your tricks with copper in the field. Saved me in a pinch a few times. Keep up the good work.
Sweet, so cool to hear...pleaseshare the vid if you can, I am sure a lot of your friends would like it too ;)
Excellent video and very well presented. This stands above the usual class of 'best ever' videos that seem to be everywhere. Thank you.
Thx @grosbeak, really appreciate your comment, you don't have to but if you can share it, that would be very nice of you ;)
Thank you so much for your various tutorials! The title fits: Got 2 Learn The way you present the information and explain what is being done and why is just Outstanding! Thank you again!
You are most welcome, please share if you can, it helps the channel tremendously ✌✌
I am a 30 year plumber and I regularly used a spray bottle to cool fittings that I just soldered. When the solder solidifies, it dulls up and you can safely spray it with water. I always kept a spray bottle handy to wet down dry wood surfaces before soldering. It was also good for putting out minor fires. LOL Also, using your tape measure to hold up a fitting on a vertical solder joint is a sure way to ruin it by having solder and/or acid flux drip onto it. To keep the pipe from falling out, just crimp the fitting with the pipe in it and spin the pipe 90 degrees. It won't slip out unless you crimp it poorly.
You were probably crap at plumbing
Rapid cooling with the water causes the solder to crystalize, then crack.
I'm against doing anything that will malform the fitting when soldering. Creating gaping is not a good idea just more space to fill with solder and more chance of leaks
I am a retired Electrician. Loved this video. I watched the whole thing, ha. Good stuff.
Thx @brian moore, really appreciate your comment, if you can share it that would be very nice of you ;)
I always found new plumbing fun and these tips and tricks make it even better !!! Thank you !
Thank you so much @crazy4milsurps, please share if you can :)
Love the look of soldered copper. Thanks for the tips!
Even if I never use these tips for plumbing I'm still learning something - how to be efficient in my communications. These videos are so concise and clear everyone else posting video should watch and learn.
Wow, thank you so much William, you've made my day :)
This guy is really good, he makes me feel like I want to be a plumber
You can be whatever you want :)
Excellent plumbing tricks. Smart and clever items. These will make it safer, faster, and higher quality work. Well done.
Thx @Michael Brock, I really appreciate your comment, I sure hope this will help other people as well!
This is from fire sprinkler fitting, but might cross over to any project that calls for a lot of cuts with a hole saw. I was on a big job at an assisted living facility with engineered trusses. I was running 4" Victaulic and had a piece of plywood that formed part of the truss to go through every 6'. We spend way too much time digging the plugs out of the hole saws. My work was hidden above the ceiling so I began stopping the cut at the last second. I smashed the plug out with my hammer and never let it get in the saw body to begin with. I was making dozens of holes and this saved a lot of time.
Good tips. Some I knew and others like heating the inside of the pipe is a new idea.
Thanks Robert, please share if you can, it helps the channel out a lot :)
Heating the inside of the pipe is a new one to me too. I feel dumb not having thought of it.
Great Video, I learned a lot!! Also the Video quality was great along with the great Audio! I could understand everything clearly.
Good to hear, thanks a lot P Brown ;)
It’s one thing to do good work, it’s another to show someone else how to do good work. I also love that you make plumbing beautiful. Very well done.
Thank you so much Benjamen!!!
Great vid, who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks! I've been plumbing for 20 years, but I must say this vid has been very refreshing. 23 was classic hehe.
😉
I recently was hired as a maintenance mechanic. Part of my job description is small plumbing jobs. The tricks you showed in this video are great info to know! Keep up the great work!
Wow, good job buddy. Yes, I have so many more helpful videos, have you seen them yet?
Absolutely the best, most informative plumbing / soldering hacks video out there. Succinct and to the point. Clearly spoken without any unnecessary dribble (unlike my comment). Most I already knew or had similar tricks... but aluminum plate!, and indirect heating the inside of the pipe!! Cool . Cant say it loud enough. Have a stay bottle with you always!!!!! It will someday ( if you work in old dusty houses) save your job, the house, and possibly a life... Wet It First! SOAK IT!! loved the video. Nicely done!
😇😇😇
Thank you for sharing the video, super informative and much appreciated.
Thx @levi ervin I really appreciate your comment, I sure hope this will help other people as well!
The tape measure hack is awesome.
Yeah so useful @John Evans
As a beginner, excellent video: tricks to soldering copper pipes that I can utilize. It really looks like it will work effectively. Thanks
Thx @Fu Yu, really appreciate your comment, if you can share it that would be very nice of you ;)
an excellent collection of life hacks! the whole speech is presented in the standard english -- easy to listen to. thank you very much for the video.
🤜🤛
Great video saved me from cutting pipe. I accidentally pressed with grippers too strong and bended it .Thank you for your video.
🙏🙏🙏
Thanks Got2Learn for all the time and frustration saving tips. I did want to point out one important danger however. NEVER use high heat around Teflon. Teflon generates a deadly gas when heated above 200 degrees Celsius/392 Farenheit that damages the lungs. If you are soldering in a confined space, it could be deadly.
My pleasure Bill! Good to know about the teflon, I had no clue!!
@@Got2Learn This hazard is not well known. I first discovered it while working with aircraft wiring specs about 10 years ago. The government has been trying to remove Teflon from anywhere it is used in airplanes. On the other hand, they allow Teflon to be used on frying pans; go figure. I don't know if anyone has been affected by Teflon frying pans but, I do know it has killed pet birds, who have more sensitive lungs than people, which is why birds have been used in the past with mining as a gas detector.
Another way to check is if your pet bird is laying at the bottom of it's cage not breathing
This is great info, love your channel. Keep up the outstanding work.
Thank you so much!!!
I'm an industrial pipeworker. I like the soldering by heating the inside - cool trick. I sometimes use some old bathroom wall tiles for heat shields at home! Nice video. ☺ 💪.
Awesome!!
some of those are really handy tips, thanx for sharing. I loved the "bread to stop water" and empty the pipe with a spraybottle nozzle. I work as an installer for over 30 years and never heard of these 2........you are never to old to learn.
Thx @Spymaster jr, really appreciate your comment, if you can share it that would be very nice of you ;)
let me guess you stuck your finger in it real quick or the bottom of your shirt. at least thats what ive always done when opening the lowest knob wouldent work.
I like tip 25, one I had not come across before. 👍
Thx @keith tanner, really appreciate your comment, if you can share it that would be very nice of you ;)
Very good tips and clearly spoken with no rickety-rack music. Thank you.
Thx @Munsters2, really appreciate your comment, if you can share it that would be very nice of you ;)
tips hat...
Very interesting and thanks for sharing such a good video. Your video is so convincing that I never stop myself from saying something about it. You’re doing a great job. Keep it up.
Love the re-rounding the pipe trick! Lots of good points and tips. Well done!
💎💎💎
The Quebec license plate was the confirmation I needed in assuming that you're Canadian -- thank you for the tips and tricks.
;)
a bien tabarnac tu est intelligent toi LOL
Merci ;)
Heating the inside of the fitting works great on drop ear 90's for shower arms as well.
You know these are great tips and tricks when someone who has never done a pipe solder before watches to the end and thumbs up the video. Everything made sense and there are tips that anyone of any skill level would be inclined to use.
That's very kind of you, I hope you can share this vid so that more people can see it, that would ne very nice of you ;)
Vary nice video! Definitely going to try some of these out when working with copper. 👌🏼
at 5:15, good tip, but to make it even better, PRE-ADJUST the jaws of the wrench ON AN AREA OF THE PIPE THAT HAS PERFECT SHAPE. This will set the wrench at the exact size needed before trying to fix the damaged pipe. Thanks for the other tips!
Yes, you must do that for it to work, thx a lot buddy @t jam
And if soldering a faucet onto a pipe, open the faucet so steam pressure doesnt blow out the solder. A little Home Depot lady told me that after a couple failed attempts. Pre-internet days...
Great job! I should have watched the whole video before of mentioning the white bread. I've been doing plumbing for 35 years and you sir are a good plumber!!!
Thanks so much 550, really appreciate it ;)
I want to thank you for this very well produced video. I only wish that I could have seen something like this 50 years ago. It would have helped a lot to be able to know what NOT to do beforehand rather than having to learn by my mistakes. I liked your bread tip the best. Keep up the good work!
You're very welcome Cliff!!!
INCREDIBLE Tips! Sure wish I had seen this 20 years ago...I had a neighbor who was an Engineer who tried to teach me how easy it was to solder Copper tubing (my hot water heater was the issue). so, I bought a bunch o copper fittings and some Mep gas (per his recommendations) andI tried a couple of times on my Bench Vice...I was so afraid of doing something wrong, I never did do any more practicing.
Thanks so much! If you want, I have a video on "how to solder copper pipe", i'll leave the link right here: #1- kzhead.info/sun/q66olKh6emd3qpE/bejne.html #2- kzhead.info/sun/fd2Pks58qqSflmw/bejne.html
some great tricks here, I love saving time, money and helping others learn too
Awesome ;)
Great Vid. As a DYI'er I was taught the white bread trick by an old guy working at a hardware store in Chicago. Worked great. Tons of useful info, especially liked the license plate hack.
Thanks Liz!
Excellent videos as ALWAYS! I've learned so MUCH. Thank you for these informative videos!!
🖖🖖🖖🤜🤜🤜
Great tips as always. I must have used at least 70% of those tips during renovations 👍
Awesome, good to know...like always Viper6, please share for me, you guys are awesome man ;)
Got2Learn let me go share right now!
When soldering, always heat the pipe then draw it into the fitting. Especially when soldering those vertical up joints. But do the oval crush trick and give the pipe a ¼ twist. That will keep it from dropping out. When pipe is heated first, it swells up in the fitting. There are a few more things I wanted to add but I gotta watch the video again to remind me so ill edit this later. Congrats on another sharp and informative video. I always enjoy your videos. Keep cranking them out and I'll keep watching and commenting..
Thanks so much dog ;)
I once paid a plumber $100 for tip #18! I couldn't correctly solder an outside faucet and not have it leak due to not completely being able to shut off the water. The plumber I ended up paying showed me the bread trick and fixed the connection in about a minute and charged me $100!! I'll never forget that lesson.
You paid for the trick ;)
I love these tips you give because the average weekender DIY guy or gal might not easily know this stuff. Keep making great videos!
👌👌👌
@@Got2Learn you are very kind, Sir.
Great tips. thanks so much. Now, if I can just remember them when I'm on the job!
You are so welcome!
If I was 'on the job' I wouldn't be thinking about soldering !
Great video. I'd like to add a tip for no. 25. When re-heating previously soldered joints, flux the soldered area to prevent the bond from failing if the solder re-melts.
Awesome tip, thx a bunch @tony luna!!!
This will help with my next project, awesome video!!!!
Bread trick... That is a new one... Thanks for sharing 25 tricks
😇😇😇
Another great flame shield/protector is a piece of fiber-cement (e.g. Hardie-Plank) siding. It's basically a 1/4" thick slab of concrete that's much lighter and tougher (crack-resistant) than concrete, due to the fiber content. Flame barely marks it.
Loved the paint removal and heating inside the pipe.
😇😇😇
32yrs in the trade so I knew most of them but will say #21, 24 and 25 were new and very good tips...Thanks
O
Thanks again and I added this one to my How To playlists~!! Love the white bread trick~!!
Thanks!!!!!!
Wow! A "tips and tricks" video that actually contains useful information. Thanks
My pleasure Randal, please share if you can ;)
Nice video. I'm a plumber's apprentice and I'm always looking to learn new things thanks for sharing
Awesome, please share if you can my man ;)
I came to confirm the adjustable wrecnh trick to make out-of-round copper round again (#14). Enjoyed the rest. This is a must-have list for beginners! Thank you.
Your videos have inspired me many times! the trick with the white bread made soldering many times easier for me! Thanks!
You are so welcome!!
My two favourites tips in the video were 1). Using the adjustable spanner (wrench) to make the pipe round again and 2) was using a pencil to apply PTFE tape neatly around thread when close up to a wall. Even though this was only shown inadvertently. None the less I'll be using this in future. Thanks!
Always great videos man! Real Plumbers support you!!
Thx so much Artur, don't forget to share, it's so important ;)
Coming from master plumber. Always remember to Solder joints starting from bottom to top.
🤙
You are a god! The tips are just what I need for me and all of the DIY people in the world.
Thx so much Jack, please share with the world!!
I have watched a lot of copper soldering videos. BTW, this one is very good, done well. There is one term I have yet to hear anyone mention. And that is capillary action. When applying the solder, the solder wants to travel in the direction of the heat source. So, once the solder starts to flow, you wants to keep your heat source in the direction you wants the solder to flow to. For example, when soldering a T fitting in place. Leave the heat source in the middle after the solder flows. All 3 sides will be pulled into the joint all at once.
Very good point, thanks for pitching in @Tom Smith!!!
First heat the inside tube. It will expand and push out excessive flux, then heat both inside and outside tube/ fitting. When applying solder, bend the end of the solder over to the length of the diameter of the tubing being soldered. It will be easy to tell when you have used the right amount. Apply the solder to the opposite side that the flame is on. You want the metal to melt the solder, not the flame.
So Id have to use 4" of solder for 4" copper 🤔
@@vincentmarzano do you really solder 4" copper pipe?
Tim Bucktwo, 😂
That would be silver solder (brazing).
@@alleycat1084 Silver soldering is a much higher temperature process. A propane torch has a hard time getting the tube or pipe hot enough unless it is very small, (like 1/4").
thank you SO MUCH !!!!! really appreciate your videos well done!!!! getting ready for copper soldier and a beginner
Awesome!!!!
Man, this video is gold. So many great tips. Thanks
😇😇😇
Been in the field for a long time (50 some odd yrs) and have used many of these apps. I wish this video was around when I started out.
That's nice of you, here's your chance to get it out there for the younger guys ;)
Great!!! I will take your advice
#6 was way too cool! Thank you for sharing!
You are most welcome, please share if you can, it helps the channel tremendously ✌✌
I’ve done My share of soldering pipe & fittings as well as a lot of other peoples’ shares. The tape measure technique is one I wish I’d thought of back in the day before I retired from the HVAC trade. Wrapping the teflon tape from the outer toward the inner fitting threads is more effective than wrapping from the inner toward outer fitting threads because the first 2 threads make the seal on threaded joints.
😉
Them are pretty cool hacks and useful
;) thx jump you the best
I’m a uk plumber and have long term experience. Never ever thought to use a tape measure like that. Used to cut lengths of pipe to prop other bits up. Brilliant
Thx @sam bam, really appreciate your comment, you don't have to but if you can share it, that would be very nice of you ;)
Sam Bam same here I never even thought to use the tape measure
Now you know :)
Straight to the point, loud and clear. Nice.
Thx @Dan Di, really appreciate your comment, you don't have to but if you can share it, that would be very nice of you ;)
Some excellent tips! A couple of them I will be using today. Ron
Awesome, glad to hear that Ron H ;)
