Freezing copper pipe to replace leaking valve! #asmr #howto #diy #foryou #subscribe #shorts #tools

In this asmr plumbing video I’m replacing a leaking isolation valve on a cold tank feed pipe to toilet!

Normally you can isolate the water feeding toilets but this feed was fed via a cold water storage tank which has really bad access.

There are two methods to get over turning off the supply, you either do it live and risk damaging the property or you can freeze it so that’s the options took.

The freeze kit I’m using is from arctic hayes, it’s super simple and works great when doing to the manufacturers instructions. Simply put the sleeve over pipe and tighten down either side. Connect the hose to the canister and open it enough to just have the vapour causing the freeze.

Once you hear the crack or in this instance open the valve and have no water come out your ready to work. I keep the bottle ticking over while working just in case!

Freezing the water. So simple and clever.

I like how well prepared and neat this dude is 😊

Pipe freezing is useful if you cannot turn off water, but it fails if the water in the pipe is moving, even a little bit.

Doesn't freezing risk cracking the pipe with expanding water?

What an Animal! You have been the best plumber I’ve ever seen on YouTube and in General. Highly recommend this guy!!

Genius!! what are the risk of breaking the pipe with the ice?

[cllim]

Can you share what is the bag that you use to hold the water? Thanks!

[deaniweenie]

What is the paste you smear on the joints before compressing them?

[asrar]

I like your spanner’s were did you get them

[danielmaine]

Legit question.... would it not be better to secure water to the home and drain so as to avoid causing a burst pipe from it freezing?

[danstark]

Where did you get that kit? Is that available to the public?

[richardclark]

How long does the freeze spray last... like how many times can you use it before it's empty?

[teddyfarrar]

Where can you get that water proof bag?

[tamas]

That’s ingenious! No damage to the pipe?

[sydrider]

This game is getting better and better

[IbadassI]

Can you do that on the mains intake? Would the water pressure be too high to stop with freezing?

[Squiddledorf]

What is that adjustable wrench? It looks so good.

Where did u get that BUCKET ITS A PERFECT PLUMBERS BUCKET

Can I ask why the olives were replaced? Could the olives and nuts from the old valve have been used again?

Hello! I’m an intern in plumbing installation here in France, and I often watch your videos to learn more about the trade. I’m very motivated and would love to know if it might be possible to do an internship with you in England to gain more experience. Thank you for considering it!
