  • Thanks, Tony! There's nothing like seeing a real pro at work. Too many instructional videos are made by people who don't know what they are talking about. I love your tip about wiping the joint with a rag with transmission fluid on it. I never heard of that before and I'm going to try it with the job I am doing this week. I have used the bread trick before and it works perfectly just as you say. I hear there is a capsule available that does the same thing but I haven't seen one yet.

  • I have always wondered if plumbers carry a loaf of bread with them to job sites?

  • As for copper pipe grades, different cities have different codes. In Miami Fl, where I grew up, it's warm and type M pipe is fine. There's no risk of pipes freezing. In colder climates, type L is recommended and perhaps even required, even insulation of pipes may be required, especially on pipes outdoors. I've never seen type K used in plumbing, maybe in extremely cold areas. As for pex - no. No matter the cost, once you explain to customers how copper is far superior they understand the cost.

  • thank you very much for the help

  • @jamesandsab - your method of tinning the joint and pipe is not only wrong, it's dangerous. Hot solder could easily come out and hit you when you are tapping. I know what it's like to get burned by hot solder. It's not fun. Tinning the work before soldering is for electrical soldering. Not plumbing. If you clean your pipe and fitting and apply just enough flux to lightly coat the surfaces then you won't get a leak. I ran the copper for hundreds, if not thousands of houses and NEVER had a leak.

  • @Roodillon All joints were tinned before flux

  • @Roodillon I must have missed the "tinning" thing you mention. I didn't see Tony tin the work before soldering. Maybe you were referring to a comment someone else made(??).

  • I was a licensed plumber for fifteen years. I started with construction in the worst conditions imaginable. I did it all from ground rough to top out. Then I went into service. I respect Big Tony for wanting to do a neat job but the transmission fluid is not necessary. I liked running copper best when I was a construction plumber and had the cleanest joints and straightest runs of pipe. I kept my joints clean simply by my skill at soldering. Also, the bread trick is known by plumbers everywhere.

  • Wow this is a great video thanks now I know what sweat soldering is.

    I have always "tinned" both the pipe and the fitting first (use flux and solder to coat both surfaces with solder). Then I put a little more flux on the surfaces and heat them and tap them together while hot. Never had a leak this way but will try your way next time :-)

    Thanks.

  • Hi, how much solder should be used to properly sweat a joint in domestic water lines. I usually keep adding solder until it pools at the bottom of the joint but this uses alot of solder. Is there a rule of thumb to go by?

  • @0466rymaspencer rule of thumb...1/2" pipe 1/2" of solder 3/4 pipe 3/4" solder...and so on....just a general rule though its a feel thing when your trying to solder upwards. with the joint soldering upwards thats when it get tricky for runs.

  • I have been doing this for almost 30 years and have never used bread. There are many ways to fix this problem.

  • the reason it runs is because most people put to much flux and solder. Transmission fluid, give me a break.

  • sweat a burger

  • i can do it vertically with no transmission fluid lol its called capillary action

  • Instead of wiping your pipe with transmission fluid you could just wipe away the extra flux when it flows out.

  • Hi there big Tony am I right in thinking a lever valve is unneeded on the supply pipe to your cylinder?

  • nice work big tony sweating pipes is hard work

  • Thank you so much for this video, it has really helped me. God Bless

  • in this day and age where copper cost so damn much as a plumbing company its hard to justify a bill, so we use alot of pex now so much faster and easier and in the customers stand point cheaper.

  • I am a Licensed plumber of 12 years. He is right to use lead free solder so we do not introduce lead into a water system. But you also do not want to use a rag doused in transmission fluid either. The same effect can be achieved with a dry rag, and don't wipe your solder grape so you have a solder smear. Simply knock off the drip and it gives a better finish.

  • Great vid.? I found some M type pipe in my house is it A safety thing or just to tell between gas and water.

  • @STEVEM730 L and K are thicker than M, and M is fine for your house, but I hope you don't have copper gas lines.

  • nice tits

  • great tips thanks for the time and advice

  • fat slut

  • yeaaaa big boy

  • Thanks Big Tony!

  • he's not a polish person.. i dont understand!?!?!

  • good job of demonstration big Tony. Thanks for the transmission fluid on the rag trick.

  • this guy is the all time classic plumber.. haha what a champ

  • An interesting note, I'm curious how many houses have had their drinking water piped with regular copper pipe and I'm also curious how many houses have soldering done with regular as opposed to no that solder

  • Comment removed

  • Haha this is what youtube is all about. Sharing informative stuff!

  • Bread trick worked for me. Thanks Tony.

  • He doesn't look like he's pushed much of his bread into the copper pipes, he pushed it into his pipes! I should know I'm almost as big!

  • Plumbing Heating "gas safe" boilers "gas boilers" "flow rate" "flow rate plumbing and heating" "water main" leak repair "plumber milton keynes" "plumber st albans" flowrate "flow rate plumbing" "flow rate heating"

  • @benplumn lol

  • Hay Tony

    Lay off the cheeseburgers you will live longer

  • WRONG L IS FOR COMMERICAL M IS FOR RESIDENTIAL. Check local plumbing codes. He probably would like you to not call him.

  • I rather not. Plumbing is the easiest jobs you can do around the house with a little research. And save tons of money. Even if you mess it up while learning, buying materials over is still WAY cheaper than paying a plumber.

  • this guy has no idea what he is doing, but it is a great video for the homeowner. leave the actual plumbing work to a plumber

  • @toryu96 : well, then get off your, to many hours on the internet ass, and show us all your better way. please, make sure to e-mail me so I can watch.

  • Best damn video I've seen yet on sweating pipes. BRAVO!!!!

  • woah first one with a fat green bar :)

  • let me guess - you got a phone call for a job and you made a video instead

  • Best video yet on the topic.  Thank you Big Tony!

  • Now that's a true American with experience and know how. Thanks Big Tony!

  • Thanks Big Tony!

  • how do you squeeze into tight spaces

  • What is the best and safest way to sweat when you are right up against dry wall.

    I afraid of starting fire inside the wall or the insulation catching fire

  • @jayvette75 I can't remember what it's called, but I've used that grey fire-proof sheeting you put behind wood stoves. You just need a small scrap piece about 24 inches or so. Works pretty decent. I'm sure there are other methods too.

  • @CainPire : asbestos.

  • in the company i work in we have 24 hour emergency service wich kills me!! cuz we get allkinds of calls sometimes as late as 2am but hey its money

  • Unfortunately, many people who try to use bread pack a half of loaf in there and end up making toast. LOL

  • Sir, thank you for the video.

    Michael

  • Dunkin donuts watch out BIG TONY is on the way

  • I've being trying to find a job.

    As a plumber helper for 5 Months.

  • I'm starting a plumbing apprenticeship in september :)

  • man even if you could get in my loft there is no way i would let you up there.

  • You were a big help today ,had to replace a tub diverter,cut the old one off ,no teflontape, old Pa. house. i used Mancini bread ,only the best .Cheers and thankyou 

  • Can anyone tell me what kind of birds stein the background, especially around three minutes in? When we watched this video our dog would bark anytime those birds were chirping. It's very comical.

  • @jgleba a blue jay ,

  • I like the Trany fluid idea Tony.. That one I did not know.. Good work

  • I would love to see him get under a floor!!!

  • good explanation.

  • Do you have the Mapress fitting system in the US?

  • I call bull$hit! You didn't "invent" the bread trick. Neither did the guy that trained you. Every plumber knows this trick.

  • @mrpipeshere I tell u better trick,just put a bit of shit in it,it's free and works better than bread.It is my own invention,try it.

  • @mrpipeshere let it go , jesus k. rist , go have a beer

  • i have to say that is the cleanest solder i've ever seen on youtube but tony man one thing bugs me u gotta check your weight you breath very heavily when you were talking but other than that great work nice tips i've learned something today thank you very much

  • Interesting...I own a plumbing company here in Toronto...Type m and type L pipe is for residential plumbing here...Its just a matter of the pipes "wall thickness"... L being thicker, therefore last longer !

  • There's nothing sexier to me than a man who knows how to fix things,this man can clean my pipes anytime.

  • Soldering pipe is a practiced art, If an average homeowner trys they may get lucky and get it right but if they try multiple joints they will be calling the big guy to come fix the mess. after they burn them selveds with the pipe of torch.

  • excellent video

  • Always go from the bottom up 6-12 6-1 gets the flux out

  • @dickyobuttgirl

    THIS " means i quoted you, "meat", was written by you. You have proved to me that you clearly are the cum shot your mother should have swallowed. Please buy a gun and point it behind your ear. Better yet, take out those that created you first, I'm sure they're not the brightest crayons in the box.

  • ya i found it it was a nasty hair in the drain scenario , but a little acid wash fixed it right up, it was one of those 1960's typ where it had a very sharp 90 degree in it thats where my problem was

  • Great gas-mains, it's videos like this that'll make being a superhero plumber real easy. You got maybe something like... knocking a guy's gun from his hands with a hot water pipe...or maybe cuffing him with some jumbo-sized pipe fittings, y'know? You could be like Batman, maybe, except you do household repair. Thanks for sharing, this was pretty sweet.

  • this applies to air conditioning work too, right?
