in ireland plastic is a lot cheaper and easier to work with but if you ask me go for the copper…. lasts longer`-irish plumber
people can not do this themself if they not are plumbers.. it have to be done by a pro..
You are 100% wrong. Sorry to be so blunt, but it is necessary.
You are just trying to sale your bloody plastic pipes.
Good plumber works with metal(copper,steel,galvanised …all the rest is DIY.The problem with merchants they try to make everything easy for people just make money.Plumbers hate that job.
I don’t sell pipe. I sell electrons. :-> You might want to watch my How to Install a Kitchen Faucet video to see the latest supply lines I prefer. This video is about 8-years old!
soory buddy old ass plumbers still only use metal good plumbers use both the way of plastic pipe is the way of the future
thanks tim! if you need a local plumber anywhere in the usa, reach out with a mouse
very great video !
when you install the copper supply tubes you tighten the nut at the valve first to prevent the type of leak he’s talking about.
can you help me I have a leak in my basement and the part of the pipeI need to replace I dont know where to get it or what its called. If I send you a pic can u tell me what its called?
Please go to my website and read the appropriate columns about your problem.
we call them easy hookers in Australia, flexible braided water supply lines that have rubber washers in both ends.
Great name! They are so easy to work with, and they allow you to hook things up in a hurry!
i think your plumbing advise isn’t all that good.Matter of fact it’s a definate leaker waiting to happen! You should always put pipe thread dope on all farrows or anything like that.Dont give plumbing advise you suck.
Thanks for your comment. It’s sad, but no one who reads your comment places any value in it. All they have to do is click your name and they’ll see you are faceless. You have no identity, no videos, no anything. That communicates that you probably have nothing to share and have no confidence to back up what you say. When you fill out your channel and upload plumbing videos showing us your skills, come back and comment again. Focus your energy on sharing real tips, not making false claims.
It’s called “Pipe dope” (shows how much you know) and its definitely not needed in every application, especially something as simple as this.
i’m a qualified plumber, i often tend to use PTFE over the olive in the compression fitting to make it even more tighter.
this is a very good tip!
fair video. but most of the time if its a wc. or a faucet then surely it will be the tap connector part thats left leaky i have been to sort many a leak like this where ppl have tried and cant get it to seal. and it usually needs a tighten.
but back to my real point. stuff all that plastic is good. but these days we use flexi hoses. there stainless stell braided hoses and the customers love them .
Correct. That’s all I use now. The flex hoses were not available when this video was produced.
lol yeah thanks but i wrote it not to be sarcastical to you but so people watching now would know there are alternatives on the market. lol
how much eaiser has the flexi hose saved plumbers time. lol
the best thing about them is customers think there special when you put them on.
Amen to braided supplies, they are a god send
Pipe dope is plumber’s putty. Same thing. (shows how much you don’t know.)
Correct. They are two entirely different products used for different sealing tasks.
Hey Tim, I am removing and old ugly sink and replacing it with a new, un-ugly sink. I looked under the cabinet, and I noticed that there are no shut off valves on either the hot or the cold. I was wondering if I could put on shut off valves with compression fitting with out have to solder anything, or would it just leak.
Also, what is the difference between the braided metal supply tubes and the plastic ones? Is it that the plastic are self seating or something?
Best regards- #1 fan!

You can use compression stops. Be sure the copper pipe is clean before you do it. The braided supply lines are my weapon of choice now.
