Day five. Poop knives and fart mufflers.

And ass blasters

Sooh, how many guys have a hundred bucks in spare leftover plumbing parts that they'll probably never use?

I probably have close to that... but I'll also almost certainly eventually use it. It took me about 10 years, but I've managed to use up all of the plumbing parts that moved across the country with me in 2004.

I always have leftover stuff. I have stuff leftover from my first build 30 years ago.

 

[sureshot006]

I have only a handful of couplings and elbows in hand, just in case. If I over buy for a small project I just return them.

Day 1: Poster asks 'simple question'

Day 1.1-2: 30 different answers from keyboard professionals, arguing ensues. OP starts to feel some regret

Day 2.2: Professionals enter to correct keyboard professionals. Pros and keyboard professionals begin feuding over right and wrong, personal jabs enter. OP has certainly not got a trustworthy answer, wondering if he can seal this thread any tighter than his own plumbing....

Day 3: Nobody can agree on anything, OP has job finished by professional

Day 4: Still arguing over how to finish the job that was finished a day ago

If that doesn't sum up the Sound Off Forum I don't know what does.

Now, who wants to fight about Covid vaccines?

Well it is sound off. Right? No harm done.

Covid vaccine’s aren’t necessary if you flexseal your mask. But even then it doesn’t matter if you get a shark bite, problem solved.

Thank you gentlemen, this is my sons house so I may take a drive and see if it’s possible to move the pipes far enough to take apart the joint rather than replacing the whole area. I appreciate the input

It may have been mentioned but ( I'm not reading all the posts) Get a compression shutoff valve also. If when you turn the water off to repair, and the water won't stop dripping, cut in the valve on the pressure side. If you don't need it take it back for a refund.

Call an electrician. They can solve any type of problem.

No, he came to the right place. Have you ever seen a bigger bunch of know-it-all's in your life? :lol:

Yea, the vaccine thread. I never knew they're was so many doctors and researchers here...it's funny.

I have used pex and a shark bite exactly once. It was this past summer to fix an outdoor hose spigot that was broke from frost when we bought the house. Or it blew that winter maybe. Didn’t notice it on inspection. Anyway 3 years later isn’t bad if you ask me, my wife may not agree. Having to use 150ft of hose to get in the backyard wasn’t exactly convenient.

It was awesomely convenient since plumbing has NEVER been something I enjoy or even pretend to know about. It was just too small of a job for me to be ok paying someone.

It was a super easy and there was even a shut off right before it. Worked great, except my wife was dead nuts in the middle of shampooing the carpets and it ended up shutting off the whole half of the house. I even had to run into town and get the parts before I could turn it back on. To say she was upset, would be a huge understatement.

But now we know what that shutoff controls! And we won’t ever forget it. Lol

Shark bites make me a master plumber. Master plumber's hate this fact.

:lol: I'm a master plumber as well now.
