Could the same method be used to tee into my galvanized service line to
feed a sprinkler system? I'm trying to research ways to tee into it
without replacing the galvanized from the meter into the house.
+Jordan Dzubak I've had good luck using an IPS brass dresser tee. The galvanized pipe needs to be in pretty good shape for this method to work, not a lot of flat spots or rust on the galvanized pipe. Here's a link: https://www.plumbingsupply.com/bronze-compression-fittings.html
How to move a lawn sprinkler tap/faucet
How to reposition a tap/faucet on a lawn sprinkler system. In this video I move a lawn sprinkler tap out of a walkway at the customer's home. Tips on removing the ...
+ramroad2008 There is water pressure to the faucet all the time. The automatic drain shuts off when there is water pressure to the faucet, and opens to drain when the sprinkler system is shut down for the season.
I'm confused by your suggestion to possibly connect the metal (or brass)
trap later after making the rubber connection. Isn't the whole point to use
the torqued connections to abstain from connecting dissimilar material
directly to each other. Could I for instance use a male PVC adapter to
connect directly to the old metal plumbing instead of the rubber
connection?
Flexible tubing collects sediment and clogs incredibly easy, resulting
awful "body odor"-type stenches coming from the sink. Measure properly and
install the correct tubing, to avoid these issues. Also, install a cleanout
on the lateral, if it's not already there, to help access future blockages.
I wouldn't use either an s trap or a flexible section. Use a p trap and add
on sections and elbows as needed. That setup is a problem waiting to
happen.
how-to replace a rusted galvanized TEE with a PVC tee with fernco fittings
this is a quick how to on replacing an old rusted fitting with a new PVC TEE using fernco fittings aka no hub coupling. no re-threading required and much simpler ...
Madman.....Mine is similar to your set up. Except on the left side of the
Tee you show is a clean out plug on mine. The vent pipe actually on mine is
inline but unaffected from the pipe I need to cut so i don't have to
replace that pipe. On the pipe that comes out on the right side of mine,
the Threads are rusted and a hole is forming. But nothing was leaking much
from there because the rest of the pipe is Filled with corrosion! My
kitchen sink drain was plugged all week. I even put that strong stuff in
there in the plastic bag, black bottle from home depot and let it sit for
12 hours, still no draining! I stuck a screwdriver in the rusted hole in
the pipe and felt all the Thick black goo! So after I cut the tee off I
will snake out the remaining of the pipe which is about 7 more feet, going
to the drain in the floor. I also have a motorized auger for that. Any
questions that I can answer will help me more. Thanks for the video!!
I have a question about old galvanized or black iron pipe repair. Do
galvanized compression couplings work if you cutoff 80 year old steel water
supply pipe that has some pitting? I'm assuming you don't need the pipe
threads to be there for that type of coupling?
thank you very much, I am going to try and work on more like these as I
have time, Il also show in the coming weeks what a 70 year old galvanized
water supply looks like inside, it is now only about 1/4" big inside due to
the build ups
I suggest doing it right, use galvanized to replace it, which is really
cheap and use thread sealant or glue, not Petroleum jelly. Galvanized pipes
last up to 50 years and it's easy. :-P
Should help repair a disaster caused by a well companies poor job moving
our tank and repipe. Jerked up the tanks base that was cemented to the
concrete pad!!Should have cut it off. Instead, Jerked up and broke part of
pad off, busted the base, bashed it free. Caused our underground pipes to
irrigation to crack underground and cracked our gate valves. Then installed
the tank on our new pad and left the new base sitting in dirt!! Instead,
set tank on old cracked apart (by them) pad! I go out to find slow leak
under well tank,water shut down to ponds and irrigation, and the well crew
split. Don't go by site's saying a company has good customer service
rating. They're bogus!! Horrible well guy's on that list. Had to use this
guy ad everyone else was tied up. Jacked up price of estimate by 350.00 at
final! Nearly a grand to simply move a tank about 5 or 6 feet and add pipe
to new tank. Now we're fighting a disaster and I bet we end up digging up
our clay soil and having to fix the pipes and replace gate valves etc. But
tank has a new leak underneath and unsecured on a broken ring base frame!!!
Beware out there!!!
I'm loosening my union nuts to replace my pressure (bladder) tank in my
crawlspace. The video cut off a little early, but I learned quite a bit
from your video, thanks! The details about the teflon tape and how to wrap
it were a nice bonus!
Thanks for the explanation. I was faced with a steel union and couldn't
figure out how it was put together or how to disassemble it . With so many
crappy commercials trying to pass off as "How to" guides, yours was a
welcomed change.
