If the threads as shown ar not deformed screw a mating fitting on the threads. Then use a pipewrench to unscrew the nipple. The mating fitting reduces the compression of the nipple as pressure/tork is applied.
I guess you've never heard of an "easy-out" before?😂
Or you use the proper tool because there’s no way in hell you aren’t getting that out with pipe wrenches
Don’t forget, fire is a tool!
What about a pipe nipple remover?
What size adapter do you use?
Yea apply heat, then penetrating oil will mostly work fine!!
So many wrongs in such little time.
its another way to get something done. Sometimes you just have to play the cards you are dealt
Update: Since the publishing of this video SupplyHouse has reduced the price of the Bluefin press tool to under $150. It's the same tool and I recommend it even more at the new lower price.
Krol it then pipie wrench
That's what I would try first but it doesn't always work.
Dumb! My gosh it’s a 3/4 inch pipe don’t be stupid and to boot replace the fitting definitely a leak point on the other side now that you hammered it
Or just use some WD-40 and a pipe wrench.
Millimetres? Americans have no clue
You cut off too much. You should have tried harder to rinse it off. Is heat or something
Torch the fitting
Ever heard of wd n a torch?
Nipple extractor
You made worse
Done this a bunch of times.
In most cases you can’t just put it in a table vice and start hammering out the pipe. If I can remove the pipe and put it in a vice, I’d replumb that section of pipe instead, and not waste time saving couple bucks worth of fittings, 99/100 in construction world
This is just a demonstration I did with some scrap metal, on a real jobsite you would obviously leave the pipe installed in place.
The steam plant that i work at has a lot of this going on. I usually write up my quotes to build back from the nearest brass fitting. The steel to brass joints never have any issues like this in my experience.
I read that they often use cast iron fittings on steam lines so you can crack off the fitting rather than having to cut and cape, are the fittings in your plant cast or MI?
@@DragonBuilds sch 160 steel. Only a small portion of the oldest parts are still cast iron fittings with steel pipe. Everything that's new is sch 160 steel. You can guess that we run high pressures lol
The art of Capeing !
Wd-40 and big pipe wrenches
I found that PB Blaster actually works better than WD-40, but when the threads are completely jammed you sometimes have no choice but to use the chisel method.
What the hill do you mean millimeters if are American speak in American feet and inches or move to a communist country that use millimeters!!
Bro u Rock 😻thanks for the tip 👍
You can put jigsaw blades in the m12 hackzaw?! Hell yeah
@@Fabian7024 it’s a Milwaukee scrolling blade, they’re like jigsaw blades but are meant for the HackZall. I like them for precise cuts.
@@DragonBuilds oh ok thanks for the info ima look them up
Great idea thanks for sharing that
Don't forget to caulk or seal the roof vent pipe if you touch or move the vent pipe. Once that vent pipe is disturbed, it's very prudent to reseal the roof vent with some high-grade UV resistant sealant and paint to match the roof color.
If the pipe is properly secured that is not a problem, but on another bathroom the old cast iron stack settled, causing a slow leak near the roof vent. Luckily I know a roofer and he was able to quickly seal the leak.
Try a large easy out! Works great
Every plumber should have a set of them. They work great. This is 3rd world country plumbing, if you cut the male nipple all the way thru then the female thread was cut also.
Heat
Or you could spray it with WD-40 and put a pipe wrench on it
Penetrating oil and a torch is my go-to option but for really stuck pipes the cut and cape method comes in handy
did you glue a no hub
Nope, I installed a reducing bushing into the no-hub coupling before gluing so that's why it looked like I was gluing the no-hub.
nice
Bought it 2 years ago...just used it with zero issues....the other one....need some coordination though...one fitting i pressed at slight angle but no leaks(outside faucet stuff)
Hmmm, I think it must be a quality control problem as some people have had good luck with the tool and others have leaks everywhere.
Millimeters???
I've done this on some VERY corroded pipe. Instead of unscrewing it at the end I had to make several cuts and then pull bits of the pipe out of the fitting because the rust wouldn't let it turn. I put in a new pipe and it sealed just fine.
I have done something similar to get a galvanized nipple out of a cast iron fitting.
You’re using the wrong tool. Pipe wrench would work better and faster
The method I demonstrated is a last resort when pipe wrenches, penetrating oil, torches, and other tools fail to loosen a stuck pipe.
Didnt realise that this type of diy kits existed. Fluffy!
I would’ve tried a torch way before I resorted to that
I would use a torch as well, this technique is a last resort method when nothing else works.
Exactly, wtf right
I love the help idea buuuut. You are giving grenades to dads. Most pipe that would require this are going to be old and rotted and hammer with lateral force is never a good idea. Cut deaper and remove the pice. The threads will still hold and it will not leak. Nice video
Vice grips and a mallet. Put the vice grips on the little pipe, tight, right on the threads, it’s junk anyways. Then take your mallet and beat on the vice grips in the direction the little pipe unscrews. Squirt some WD-40 or whatever magic penetrating lube you might have on the threads going into the pipe before you start. 😎
Great tip!!
Glad it was helpful!
Or drill a hole through the middle of the pipe and put a cheater bar through the pipe. Unless you have a pipe wrench then use a pipe wrench.
If that was a drain line cut the top of pipe in case you go to deep on damage tile treads where water doesn’t always get to on a drain line
Good stuff
Good concept thanks. However wouldn’t heat and lubricant work better or a conic left handed helical removal tool work the best?
Heat and penetrating oil usually work, if the pipe still won’t unscrew the chisel method is a good last resort
Ive got this amazing invention. I call it A pipe wrench
@@johnbroskey2547 I know what a pipe wrench is, sometimes fittings get totally seized and just won’t unscrew.
Fuk yeah! Hell I'm gonna brake it off before I try pillen it out.
@@DragonBuilds then you get a longer wrench 🔧
@@friendlyinetuser5023at some point you can literally just shred metal... This is preventative to that.
But John having and working for a living is different little boy.
Leave yourself a lil more next time
That wasn't necessary on that one. If you wouldn't tightened it a little more you couldn't backed it out without even damaging the nipple. The trick of tightening it loosens the bond from the rust. The only time it doesn't work is when the nipple is broken or cracked at the threads.
Yeah, this was a piece of pipe I used for demonstration purposes, you’d normally use this method for old, heavily corroded pipes
Beat me to it!
On these home refrigerators/freezer, the High/Low side tubes look similar in size. How do we know which side to add the refrigerant to? (Left or Right side of the compressor). Great video btw.
