The British are so honest. Excellent workmanship and right to the point.
A few beers down, trying to install a bracket and managed to hit the mains. Watched this and tried the hose clamp. Worked like a charm! You’re an absolute legend.
Being one who records whilst they work and edits in the twilight hours. I know the difficulties and how much effort goes into making these videos. Material like this is undervalued. Education has changed so much with KZhead. Society are gaining the equivalent of a KZhead plumbing degree. It's good when it's used for something positive like making individuals better engineers. Onsite experience is vital as well as real qualifications. Yet this media stream and experience passed on is helping nations strive to better engineering standards. It would have been a game changer if I had some of these videos when I initially qualified as a plumber 13 years ago. There was hardly anything like this to watch. It's great that the information is there for those that are thirsty to grow in their knowledge of the trade.
Love your tutorials mate. Some are even shown in my college. I am at level two at the moment. Also completing an NVQ. Can't wait to qualify in June and move on to level 3. Not bad for an old Soldier!
Wow, this video saved my day! I used the pipe clamp and rubber washer method to keep a leak fixed until the weekend. Thanks!
Subscribed because everytime I have had issues with my heating it's been one of your videos that helped me fix it, the videos are easy to understand even for someone like me who had no clue about plumbing last time my radiators were full of air and unbalanced, i fixed it :)
Your idea of the rubber and jubilee clip was great. I can't get a plumber yet so I solved the immediate problem this way. It was a leak in the pipe under the washbasin. I got really tired and stressed cause I don't bend myself to that extreme so often and my hands ache, but I'm really happy not to waste water anymore. You've been like an angel for me today. You're very nice and made me laugh the way you explained everything. THANKS, THANKS A LOT FROM CHILE.
That was just excellent - thank you. 3 very simple methods, each explained with a minimum of fuss and good camera work backing up the commentary. Perfect for a DIY'er like me. Thanks for sharing!
Glad it helped!
Back in the day we just soldered directly over the pinholes. Did this on a pipe in my mother's house in 1977 and it is still good today never leaked. Thanks for the video.
You have NO IDEA how you helped me as I was all alone in a seeming disaster! Fixed it and kept grinning all day...still am...THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
Hi Elaine! No worries and it's great to hear I helped you out. Have a lully day! SUBSCRIBE! ➡️👉 kzhead.info 👈⬅️ IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY! 😎
Which method did you use?
@@plumberparts please help what do you do if only the top of the radiator is warn and the bottom is cold heating is on full and you should be able toch the radiator please help
@@definitelymabe2311 your radiator could be clogged, possibly need your system flushing through or powerflushed. Sometimes its easier just to replace the radiator for a new one.
Thank you for the lesson on how to fix pinholes in the copper pipe. I wish I watched this two years ago. I am not a plumber but now I have the knowledge I need to do this. Thanks Again, Dave
Don't try the soldered joints. Best quick fix is push fit fittings.
Thanks! I used Option One. Worked like a champ. Hopefully it will work until I can afford to have a plumber replace the entire pipe. It's a 60-year-old house, and this is an original pipe. It's a drain pipe, so I'm optimistic.
I've watched lots of plumbing video's on youtube now, and this one is by far the best one. I am going straight over to the soldering one now.
My name is Dian Pelangi from Jakarta in Indonesia, I am a fashion designer and I want to use this media to tell everyone to be careful about getting loans on the internet, so many lenders here are fraudsters and they are here. tricking you with your hard-earned money, I applied for a loan for around Rp900,000,000 women in Malaysia and I lost around 29 million without taking a loan, I paid almost 29 million still I didn't get a loan and my business was about crashing because of debt. When I searched for a reliable private loan company, I saw another online advertisement and the name of the company was THE WORLD LOAN COMPANY. I lost 15 million with them and to this day, I have never received the loan I proposed. Dear God, my friends who applied for loans also received the loans, introducing me to a trustworthy company where Mrs. Christabel worked as a branch manager, and I applied for a loan of Rp900,000,000 and they asked for my credentials, and after that they finished verifying my details, the loan was approved for me and I thought it was just a joke, and maybe this was one of the cheats that made I lost money, but I was stunned. When I get my loan in less than 6 hours with a low interest rate of 2% without collateral I am very happy that God used my friend who contacted them and introduced me to them and because I survived making my business soar high in the air and liquidated and now my business is flying high in Indonesia and no one will say it. know about fashion companies. So I suggest all people who live in Indonesia and other countries who need loans for one purpose or another to contact christabel mother via email: christabelloancompany@gmail.com You can also contact me at my email: (lianmeylady@gmail.com) and Sety introduces and talks about christabel, she also gets a new loan from christabel, you can also contact her via her email: permatabudiwati@gmail.com Now, all who will I do is try to fulfill loan payments that I send directly to their account every month. A word for wise men is enough Thank you once again for reading my testimony, and may the Lord continue to bless us and give us a long life and a prosperous life and may God do the same good work in your life. Good mother Christabel Missan What'sApp number +15614916019
Worked great!!! Stopped our leak. You tube never disappoints. Thank you for awesome temporary fix and tip.
What did you end up doing? And did you have a plumber later?
One time I was installing sheet rock on a wall hat had a copper pipe in it. The pipe went into a corner of the room, so I could not cut the pipe or sperate the ends if I could have cut the pipe. Unfortunately a sheet rock screw found the pipe and made a hole in it. I removed the sheet rock and a professional recommended cleaning the area around the pin hole, adding flux around the pipe. and then WRAP THE PIPE SEVERAL LOOPS WITH 12 GUAGE COPPER WIRE, flux the wire, and solder the wire and pipe together. It has held for 15 years so far.
There are easier and better ways but whatever works for You.
@@leowilliams7578can you do that with water running out
@@GGHBK953 I don't know. I've never heard of this technique before.
Great vid as always! Could also use a slip coupler if really tight and no play in the pipes.
Amazing tips James, I am not a plumber but seen and done a lot of work on my house plumbing. Really learned a lot. First trick never knew that :) looks like I knew the proper ones :) - Today you got yourself a new fan :)
Haha! Cheers Dino! 😍
You have a great energy and enthusiasm for an educator. Everything you said was in perfect layman’s terms for non professionals. Thanks for that :)
Cheers man! 👌
Thanks for the video. I had a pinhole leak yesterday on a 15mm mains pressure copper pipe. I hadn't seen your video then, but luckily the local Wickes was still open and I managed to get clamp (£18) which I eventually managed to use to stop the leak. The hole was close to a right-angle bend and I had to use sandpaper to remove excess solder from the pipe before the clamp would make a good seal. It's still holding, but I'm back off to the DIY shop to get some pipe to make a permanent repair. I'll take a look at your how to solder video first. 😊
This video was awesome your first fix was what I needed for a 10pm quick fix until I can get to the hardware store. I kept thinking I could just melt some plastic in there, but the hose clamp was perfect, worked like a charm.
+Russell Lehman No worries Russ! Please sub >> kzhead.info
Hi James, love the videos. I just bought a 15mm brass slide repair coupling thingy for a few quid. Very useful as you don't need to spring the pipes if they have no play in them. Just cut out a 25mm section, slide the coupler on one pipe, slide out to required length onto other pipe, tighten compression nuts and your done. Quick , easy and permanenet.
Or Dremel out any old compression coupling middle stop on any size you like, done it loads of time. Purfikt.
I was working late on my re-plumb the other night and I woke up the next morning to a damp floorboard. When I lifted it I realised I had put a bloody screw through the heating pipe. Fountain of water, no-one to help, no valve would turn, panic setting in. I put the screw back in the pipe and ran downstairs looking for a jubilee clip and a bit of rubber hose which I cut to flatten it out. I wrapped it around the pipe tightened the clip and no more leak! I really don't know what I would have done if I hadn't watched this video a few weeks earlier. Cheers James!
Many thanks mate! That's what is wonderful about the internet. A lad in the UK saves the life of someone in LA. It was 10PM and and I drilled a hole in the wall it went right through and hit a copper pipe on the other side water gushing out. You can't shut off the water in this place. So much so that I could not even turn off the main valve. What the hell do I do now? Here comes your video and your jubilee clip solution was the answer. I found a rubber gasket and took off the clip from another pipe and fixed the leak in less than 5 minutes. That was two weeks ago and I am still to call the plumber because the leak is repaired very well. I just wait until I'll have some plumbing work and I will ask the plumber to do this too because a plumber quoted me $250 just for this. Not worth it.
Finally a plumber that I can relate to! I can never find all my tools, and for some reason I will touch a hot solder Seriously, thank you mate from a grateful Texan!
Brilliantly demonstrated. He makes repairing pin holes almost like fun😉.
Good plumbing repairs are not achieved easily - they only look fun when you have done a few hundred!!
Thanks James! I just learned a lot from your video! Now I wont be afraid to solder copper pipe anymore! I have a few spots with the quick fix for pin holes!
Good demonstration, it is easy for you to get it done quickly but harder for the consumers. But since I learned something new, I thank you.
I was about to buy another pipe! This video saved me 40 dollars, you've DEFINITELY earned this subscription!
Brilliant. Watching solder flow in a joint is weirdly memorising!
@mastermind D'oh! Yes I did! Don't think I can even blame auto correct on that one! Thanks! 👍
YEP! 5 O'Clock on a Friday afternoon. Can't tell you how many times I have had exactly this scenario happen! Almost like magic.
Just used the rubber and jubilee clip trick on a screw hole in a pipe as a temporary fix. Brilliant and so simple. Had the right bits in my bicycle drawer! Thanks a million.
Old inner tube? (or old tyre...?). I have a few of those as well...
Temporarily like for 4 years lol
Would this rubber and clip potentially hold up for a weekend even if the pinhole is on the hot water out from a water heater? 😅
Great info! Good idea to polish the pipe b4 using a compression fitting. IF the pipe is healthy and IF you can dry it, then the hole can be silver soldered. There is also an epoxy "bandage" available which I have not tried. I do very little plumbing and found out that flux can go bad after several years! If in doubt, throw it out.
My friend that is the best demonstration l've seen how to fix leaks on copper pipes Second to none!
Innertube cut in strips stretched and wrapped in layers over the leak, then held in place with wire. We moved into a house in an extremely isolated community on Vancouver Island, when I went to do some plumbing work on the house, there were innertube and wire fixes in numerous places, no leaks, on a community water system with a fair amount of pressure and they had been there for years! So for an emergency fix....
Turned off water at mains and used some bicycle tube doubled over a few times and placed it over the pinhole and then wrapped a jubilee clip around the pipe and patch and tightened it up well. Turned the mains water back on and voila problem solved until my plumber has time to get to me to carry out a permanent repair. Top Man James and Many Thanks.
There are patches clip fix i think I’ve done it by cutting a section 30 mm or so and just over half the diameter of the pipe so that it grips the pinholed pipe, worked a treat. Love yu videos it’s the way you deliver them 👍🏽
Oh man, your first method really saved my butt over this weekend.
Excellent little video but I have a further reason as to why pinholes develop. It can be due to high Ph value in soft water areas. The water leak can also turn blue which looks strange. My plumber had to replace the bad lengths of copper on two occasions with plastic as you suggested. I was renting but worried how many more leaks would develop in the future down here in Devon.
Thanks for this, I wish KZhead was around 40 years ago when I was having plumbing problems in my first house!
I recently fixed a mains pressure pinhole leak by cleaning the area, fluxing and tinning, then flowing a dome of solder onto it. Perfect repair and really quick.
Being a plumber, I wasn't surprised by anything here, except the terminology! I guess I'll nip down to the home depot and grab some jubilee clips, Yorkshire couplings, and bungs. Ha!
Stelth Jubilee clips in UK terminology. Here in America we call them automotive hose clamps. Never mind the bungs!
not a plumber but if i found out that there are 3 pinholes on half a meter pipe i would call the police first...
In my plumbing class, we were taught NOT to apply any other type of metal to copper....
@@east73rdst brass and copper are fine together, in fact brass is a dielectric and good to use between copper and ferrous metals like a water heater tank. no ferrous metals (steel/iron) should come in direct contact with copper water lines without a dielectric between them. many water heaters come with a dielectric nipple already installed for that reason.

Great video to watch while having a poo, just the right length of time. Nice work James!
+James Garlick the video is almost ten minutes long..... Have yyou got enough fibre in your diet?
+loafer sheffield As long as you wiped I don't care! PP!
Doing the same here
lmao
Lmao I also am on the toilet watching this
great video you could also use a sharkbite coupling in place of a compression coupling and a copper sweat repair coupling, no stop, so you just have to slide the fitting back and forth without having to slide the tubing lengthwise. soldering up the hole itself also works....with a little skill. i've done it in a pinch.
Thanks for sharing. I just had a pinhole leak. Thanks!!
You just saved me from getting a plumber, thank you sir.
I love them compression fittings they just make life easy
until one end blows off, compression fittings are not all that, one bump of the pipe and you have yourself a full blown leak, AGAIN! Get a SHARK BITE COUPLER, that there is a true permanent fix. You will figure out what I'm talking about when u try to compression a fitting together where thee is pressure on the pipe and you're not able to get the ends to line up perfectly. You will always have a drip there. Go with a shark bite coupler, u literal cut pipe in half, debur both ends of pipe, then clean the outer edges on both ends, push the shark bite fitting over one end until it clicks, then push the pipe in the other end of the shark bite coupler until it clicks. Done! 100% fixed and no worries what so ever if ya bump the pipe.
How the F*ck you supposed to "push" a pipe into anything when its permanently mounted?!?! This isnt a stretchy piece of rubber tubing, its non flexible metal that stays in place...
Just discovered a potential leak in a central heating pipe under concrete in a Bungalow, probably a pinhole as it took time for the floor to become somewhat damp. I have no idea what I am going to find once I dig up the concrete to get to it later today, but this video has given me a few options once I do! Hard to find a plumber this time of the year!!
I've had more pinhole situations caused by hard water. Copper deteriorated so bad I could crush it with my hand. Other hard water issues where any compression or solder attempts are a fruitless effort. Don't get me wrong, great advice. I've used "rainbow rubber" many times in life. Always keep some in my vans. Can also become an instant pump seal or similar. I'll keep an eye on this channel
Good old rubber /jubilee clip.. such a good time saver!
+Bunka Fas Gets you out of trouble!
Like listening
A real bobby dazzler , I must say !,,,thanks Mr. PP !
This has just saved us from a major leak into our kitchen. Love this channel
Hi, I used the hose clamp as emergency fix and worked very well!!! Thanks 😁👍
thanks mate i learnt a fair bit from this video!
Good stuff dude!
Great video , straight to the point , well explained to people that’s never done this before
Cheers Gaz!
great tutorial. Fix my home pipe with the rubber method. Kudos to you
Hi, thanks. I am just a DIYer and needed to fix a leak last year. There was no spring in the pipe at all so I cut out a larger section of 20 cm. And inserted a section of say 16cm (can't remember exactly) with 2 compression fittings. This way I could get both slid on because of the extra manoeuvrability. I looks a bit naff but did the job for me...
He's got woh-aaa coming out everywhere..😂
I just can't figure ou(t) how they know when or when no(t) to pronounce the "T" ?????
I’d have included solder on pipe repair patches, slip couplers and maybe even those emergency pipe repairs from rothenberger.
I'm glad to confirm I successfully produced a pinhole on my 15mm central heating pipe whilst screwing floorboards 😒. After a few minutes of a wonderful waterfall display I applied fix method number 2 👍
Thank for your great insight on the quick fix method. It has given me a plethora of ideas !
James, once again, HOT HOT HOT stuff - I mean your training and information that you impart!! ... Keep up the fantastic work!! Thanks. Love from Scotland! x.
WILL DO BRUV!
@@plumberparts Even better, Sister!! :-)
Shark Bite fitting all the way, the latest and greatest in plumbing repair! Prep the cut pie the same way, DEBUR the inside of pipe on both sides where u made your cut, slip the shark bite coupler on one end and push until it clicks, then stuff the pipe in the other end until it clicks (Or she yells, THATS THE WRONG HOLE, bahahahahhaaa) and you are done my friend!
Yeah - I can’t bring myself to trust anything with a rubber o-ring seal since working in the auto industry…
Very helpful video ! Would a Rubber lined euro clip with the rub already fitted be even better for a temporary fix ?
Very helpful video ! Would a Rubber lined euro clip with the rub already fitted be even better for a temporary fix ?
Yeah, but they don't make anything in 5/8" OD anymore, the only thing I need. Everything that said it was 5/8 was actually 1/2" OD, and now I'm waiting on Everything I need to solder it from China. 30 bucks for aluminum soldering rods with Flux, a big butane torch, and then I already went to great lengths to find the 5/8 OD Sharkbite sleeve, and it required one piece of wrapped gorilla tape on each end just to attach the broken spigot. But if I turn the water halfway on or more at the main shut off, it leaks. Sometimes the teeth don't hold the top part of the spigot in place, it flies out even with tha tape and the sharkbite connector. Turns out it's a metric pipe, and comes to 5/7", not 5/8". So I bought a bunch of tools and aluminum solder stuff and I'll put epoxy over the aluminum soldered part where the pipe snapped. Then I'll take the "waterproof" (it's definitely not) flex Seal tape that I first tried and even used clamps, and it didn't work. But in a few days there won't be anything to worry about, it will be soldered and fixed the right way for 30 dollars worth of tools and soldering Stuff.
God Bless you thank you. was in a panic. great video calm approach
I've been using pin-hole clamps for years. The clamp pieces are interchangeable so you can get the dense flexible forever gasket easily over the pin hole. The clamp is 3" long and the gasket goes roughly end to end. You mark 2" on each side of the hole so when you put the clamp on you can judge where the center is. Then install the clamp and tighten the SS screws. You're done. It's so easy and it'll last longer than the pipe itself.
love this bloke he knows his stuff and makes it fun top tips
+Tim Wyld cheers fella!
Self amalgamating rubber tape, used it around about 15 years ago and it is still doing the job lol
Sharkbites! I know nothing of how to fix things, but these worked perfectly. So easy and dont need to know anything but cutting the pipe and applying
love your work, got a busted tap outside that I am now confident to repair. cheers
For a pinhole leak I have actually used a self tapping screw which blocks the hole but a bit dodgy if the pipe is a bit weak from corrosion. When fitting a compression fitting if the pipe cannot be moved lengthways its important to cut a piece of pipe off to allow for the compression fitting. It still might be necessary to smooth the inside of the fitting so it can slide completely over one side of the joint then slid back to the centre.
I have used this method many times with a tiny twist of ptfe on the screw.
Good tips thanks for a great 👍 👍video mate 👌

lol I like you. I haven't seen a helpful, home improvement channel that is actually funny too.
I saw the spider too daandaan the suspense continues
I found that around toothpick works I inserted one 20 years ago still holding an inserted toothpick in pinhole water caused it to swell like a cork in a bottle. Try it it works.
Thank you the first trick worked for me. I was quite surprised. I hope this temporary fix lasts a long time. 😁 Thanks again. Maybe one day I will try #2.
The world needs more like you.
When using the compression fitting why not simply cut a piece out of the pipe to accommodate the fitting's length?
Last week I found a pinhole leak on an inside bend. As an overnight fix I screwed a self tapping screw straight into the pinhole ;-)
Made a similar repair 30 years ago but used a brass screw and then soldered it still holding .
did the same thing on the lead service pipe in my house 25 years ago...never leaked !
Just put a screw in a landing pipe. Had a quick tantrum then found this vid. The rubber & jubilee clip worked a treat. Lifesaver.
Wheyyyyy! Top work! 😎
THANK YOU, just a DIYer used your compression technique, jobs a good un ! regards Andrew
The building I work in uses the first repair then leaves it for the next 5 years
When I'm trying to solder pipes together I remove the crust from white bread, roll the bread into a ball, and shove it into the supply pipe (give it a push with a stick to get it in a little bit). It makes a dam to stop any more water from dribbling out and the white bread is water soluble. It'll dissolve completely when you turn the water back on.
Yep, old school trick that one!
plumberparts can you explain the settings on a thermostat? What is the ( Temperature offset) and ( proportional bandwidth) I've had a new thermostat and it's not heating the house accordingly I may need to adjust these settings ...what settings do each need to be ?
Jammit Timmaj not heard anyone doing this for donkeys years.
I used to do this until recently, be sure not to use the crust tho. I use the henry now tho
@First Last sorry, Henry Hoover ( vacuum cleaner) to suck water out
Great video as always. I've used a garden/outdoor tap adapter in the past , the ones that spur of a pipe . Good emergency fix or 20 years in my case 😅
I'm in Ireland - I've had to replace a lot of copper pipe this past few years - a lot of it because of my mothers brothers dodgy plumbing - he actually installed a copper cylinder and had it sitting on polystyrene which the tank sank into over the course of 2 years - kinked all the joints into it and had to be replaced - plus the quality of copper pipe here is pretty poor...! Anyway I've a pin hole and this video is a great help thanks bud....!

My general builder accidentally drilled through 3 copper pipes. Yes 3 ...all fixed with push fit fittings. Which I was not happy about. Especially as water is mains fed. The fitting is now leaking in kitchen behind plaster work. NIGHTMARE... Can't find traditional plumber. Do you suggest wealed option is longest lasting repair???
Why Not Just Apply Some Solder Over The Pin Hole
Thanks for that trip it worked for me
Thanks very much. We fixed the leak, hopefully it will be a permanent fix.

Being a cyclist I have plenty of old inner tubes lying around. If you cut a slightly longer piece you can wrap it around several times keeping in under tension. All you need to do then is to hold the end so it doesn't come adrift. Although one can't recommend it I have one job done (outside on the farm) where I never got around to making the permanent fix and the tube has lasted for 20 years. You can be lucky. I think it perished together and onto the pipe giving a really tough solid bond.
The last joint you should open the cap to get the steam out the pipe when you was soldering the last joint and also not pression in you system . But finally you make it happens so good job
For quick fixes I use a brass screw, Just for an emergeny of course.
Great idea! I will keep that in mind, I’m starting a career in plumbing, just finished plumbing classes level 1 😄
"So...the first thing you do is go down to the pub for a pint...."
Beautiful demonstration, very informative.
Thanks, mate. Exactly the info I needed. Much appreciated!
Sounds like hes saying soda up lol
Funny how temporary turns into until it breaks again! ;)

Talk too much !
Thanks PP. Came here cos I have a leak out of the shower pipe that enter it from the bottom. Looks like some sort of chrome pipe!

HAHA I didn't. I am however from Australia, so had one not ran across the video I would have noticed that as being odd.
You can also use Shark bite fitting
Yep!
Shark bites are good quick fixes... i dont see them as a long term option
