Aladdin easy fit isolator pressure test and strip down

[aztekwarrior]

"a few people were interested" .. did you not read your comments? the whole world was left hanging!!

thanks for the vids sir, guys like you are changing the world for the average diy schmucks like me !!

Thankfully this years plant shutdown has finished and so I'll have a bit more time for making videos ;-)
This is a follow up to last weeks video on the Aladdin easy fit isolator, as a few people requested a pressure test and look inside.
I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Thank you for no music and showing what happened inside

[NMranchhand]

Super follow-up! I love to take things apart (even destructively) to see what happened. There seemed to be crimp made full round the pipe by the device above and below the "O" ring seal. Presumably, why it could take 30 bar. What a product. Thanks.

[mikewasowski]

So glad you pulled it apart. I couldn't find any internal details of this one line so this is great

I was one of the ones wondering what happened to the cut out slug also. Question answered This is the way to go for a new Iso valve. Thank you for your generous time and high quality video explainimg the installation and resulting progress.

This and your original video are two of the most clear and to the point videos on YouTube or anywhere else. Very well done.

I've just bought one of these to solve a real problem I have. I really appreciate you doing this, it put my mind at rest over its robustness. Thank you.

Very impressed with how tightly it seems to hold the pipe - had my doubts about it when I saw the first video, but after seeing this I'd be perfectly happy to use something like this in my own home.

This is the best channel on you tube. Plumbing/tools/fittings, you just get everything. Perfect. Thank you mate.

[cougarag]

that thing is impressive. not only did it not leak until a buttload of pressure but i like how the little crimping it did was enough to keep the pipes from blowing out of the valve. definately not designed as some sales gimmick.

[Alfapash]

Another great explanation and great to see the internal part. Thanks for all the time you spend educating us.

My brother is a Master Plumber here in the states and I just sent him both videos. Absofrigginglutly Brilliant.

[i.sirius]

Brilliant little bit of engineering, that! Truly impressive pressure resistance. I see that some folks were saying that this little valve is very expensive, but I'll bet that it's far less expensive than hiring a plumber, and it's clearly more convenient, and than the conventional method.

Thanks for the video, I was wondering what happens to de cutout bit once you drill it, and this has left it clear now. Thanks again

[briananderson]

The presentation is as professional as the job completed. He is a credit to U Tube. Thanks.

Thank you for this video - I have a property where the mains riser stop tap is seized and inaccessible behind a gas meter and have been looking at these to isolate a couple of water pipes in the house that dont currently have ball valves fitted.
I winced when it got up to 700-odd PSI - I expected something to go pop!

[darkbyte]

Yet another great video, I came here to see what happened to the cut copper when installed, and your explanation was excellent and informative.. Nice one

Hello. Very nicely done video and a very useful quality product that I also hope to see available in Canada some time in the future. There is one thing that concerns me about your testing and that is about your safety. That was an awful lot of pressure that you put the isolator under and I am very glad that it did not explode in your face. When perfoming tests like this one you should have just one more 'isolator' present....and that is a safety sheild between you and the test equipment. Seriously, if it had exploded under the higher pressures you could have been gravely injured or even killed by the shrapnel. Get yourself a safety sheild for protection when stressing things to their limits. Take care!

Almost no restriction of the water flow...very cool. Thanks for the follow up video.
