In Canada, I'm quite certain that soldered bronze valves on copper pipes are what you'll find in most homes, but the industry is definitely changing. There's a lot of pex pipes being installed in newer homes.

Your videos are going to help me out a lot when I have to change out my earlier mistakes. Thanks man

I put a little bit of water piping thread sealant on the threads of the angle stops after cleaning the pipe with sand paper or Emory cloth. An old plumber taught me a trick of using an in reamed 5"-6" piece of 3/4" pipe to remove the dry dry wall mud from copper 1/2" water pipe stub outs and it works great. Plus you want the pipe in the angle stop fitting all the way untill bottoms out the tighten over the Farrell.

Becareful of shark bite valves . Can be hard to get them to seal and if touched they can leak and 4-5x the price

Best shut off valves imo. 11 year plumber

Personally if I'm working with metal pipe, I'm soldering or brazing.

Pex is absolutely the way to go for most modern homes, but metal is still super common and preferred in some applications.

I prefer it personally, but I also know how much more work metal pipe fitting is.

if you solder or braze well, it'll outlast the structure. the catch is that a lot of guys aren't quite as good at it as they think they are, so it takes a more skilled plumber or fitter to so it well.

This guy sounds like every customer service phone operator I've ever spoken to!

What about threaded screw on valves? I think people tend to forget about these as they are less common.

[joshuamoore_]

Compression angle stops are the quickest and best, nowadays 1/4 turn on/ off ones are the most common. But they still sell the regular ones that take a few turns to shut on or off.

[brendenbaker]

What about crimped pex and Q & E (wirsbo)?

[charliebaker]

Compression fittings are not typical in most homes stateside

[trey_ironside]

Compression Fittings are the best if all

[danielgoetz]

I prefer compression fittings over sweating and bringing up the rear is shark bite fittings.

[edwicks]

I work by the 1 and done rule ! No callbacks, no comebacks !

[seanabbott]

Compression values are the bane of my existence. When I run into one it's been there forever so turning the valve off makes it leak and the compression ring never wants to come off.

I can’t believe you knew it was called an “Olive” in England. I’m from there but live here in the US…. I’ve gone to a Hardware Store and asked for “Olives”… they think I wanted a Martini!!!
Good Tutorial Sir.

I just use 1/2" NPT 1/4 turn valves. Drop ear 90s mounted like a shower arm and brass nipples to extend through the wall.
