Thank you, finally someone actually shows replacing entire assembly and not just repacking the valves. I also appreciate your in-depth explanation on how you can tell if it’s a cracked pipe versus valving issues right up front.

It's a pleasure to watch a pro at work. Thank you, Hammerpedia guy 🙂

Holy cow! I think this is one of the best videos I’ve ever watched. Plane and simple and to the point. Love the graphics too. Made me a follower today!

I love this guy. Great video. I bought his plumbing course and it was worth every penny. Thanks for everything sir.

Good to know that this solder joint meets code and will stand the test of time. Thanks for sharing.

thanks for a good video, but wondering why not just solder a female threaded connector inside and screw in the new faucet? Saves the valve from solder heat stress, only that one solder joint, and might save another sheetrock cut later.

Great video! I now understand the leak, how it happened and how to fix it. Great Job!

Best plumbing instruction video I have seen. Just subscribed. I would have installed a 1/4" turn ball valve and access panel for future access. That's just me...

Wow, you've done an amazing job here. Thank you for making things so simple. I had to watch many videos to understand what's going on, but yours was the best. I wish I had watched it earlier. Please keep up the great work!

Thanks and looking forward to your follow up video on rebuilding one of these.

Many people drove cars with no antifreeze. Freezing water can crack engine blocks. happened to a buddy.. Good video. I replaced a frost free last year. Love this learning on Youtube.

Why not use the threaded connection so if this happens again they can just thread in a new spigot? Also did you measure the level and make sure it drains out? That is a critical step and that could be why it froze up in the first place.
