How to convert old radiators into multi-zone hydronic heat.

[joby613]

Kevin was holding it in the wrong direction! I don't know what he did before This Old House, but it wasn't plumbing!

@joby613 from what I could see, if you were talking about 1:36, there was nothing done wrong. Kevin used the wrench to hold the valve connection in place so that Richard could screw on the pipe stub. if you think this was done horribly incorrectly, post a video reply showing this exact procedure done the same way with identical parts, detailing what you think was wrong, then how to do it a different way. otherwise, you look like a dumb troll.

@HappyDiscoDeath C'mon, HDD. You saw as well as I did that Kevin was holding with the pipe wrench backwards. The idea of backing with a wrench is that you isolate the fixture you're wrenching against. In this example, Kevin is doing nothing more than absorbing oxygen. If you aren't backing against the input torque, you are doing nothing, and pipe wrenches apply torque in one direction only.

@HappyDiscoDeath And, by the way, there is no "horribly incorrect", it's done right or wrong. With this example of the wrong way to do it, there is no need for a correct way to do it video. It's right or wrong. This is wrong. And, no I'm not a troll, I just hate to see videos that have completely wrong info for the man at large. Then, they don't know right from wrong, and when they flood their houses, who is at fault? Hmm?

[HappyDiscoDeath]

@joby613 ...so then you just hate when things are done a particular way, or hate the show, or are looking for people to rile up. I submit a contradicting opinion, and you go on a lengthy rant. if that's not a troll flag, I don't know what is. besides, from what you're saying, the supposed proper way would require fully removing the radiator; that would be pointless for a basic pipe swap. again, post a video reply with your way of doing the job. otherwise you just look like an idiot

@HappyDiscoDeath ...hiding behind the shield of internet anonymity.

[joby613]

@HappyDiscoDeath God, you're a fucking moron. Flip the pipe wrench over so you can apply opposite force to the pipe. Why would you remove the radiator? Now, was that so hard?

[joby613]

@HappyDiscoDeath Dude, I'm sorry. I just now read your profile; I didn't realize that you are retarded. Now I understand why you can't understand simple ideas. By the way, does your caregiver know that you are on the internet?

[HappyDiscoDeath]

@joby613 wow... an insult based on obvious info on my profile; very original. come back and try again when you have a real insult. so I have a different opinion on the above video; that doesn't give you an excuse to attack. besides, I asked you to make a video like this showing what you believe is the correct way. I have yet to see anything; this kinda makes you look "all bark and no bite." in other words, quite harmless.

[joby613]

@HappyDiscoDeath Let it go, my friend. You have a "different" opinion; a new video is not necessary (I don't do requests) flip the wrench over; I don't like being called a troll for a casual observation; AND, my original comment was 5 months ago! It's over, finito, finished. And no, I'm not apologizing for calling you a retard; you had it coming.

[HappyDiscoDeath]

@joby613 quit putting words in my mouth. so I responded to an old comment; big whoop. I simply stated a differing opinion, and you went nuts. I never made a request per say; I challenged your claim, asked you to show your way of doing it. also, just fyi, it makes you look real mature when you resort to elementary-school "retarded" insults, and then refuse to take them back. as if your original "special ed" insult wasn't crappy enough. just as you stand by your insult, I stand by my opinion.
