How PVC Compression Fittings Work - Plumbing Tips

Thank you for this video! I was able to fix some futzed up plumbing under my kitchen sink after viewing this.

cheerS just showed me what id messed up putting the trap back together job done!

Thank you! Saved me and my boyfriend from our leaking bathroom sink

So British , straight to the point , no bull****, back story about your mission statement or any other rubbish you have to listen to before you get to the meat. Just like a mate telling you. keep it up

Thanks. Just what I needed👍

What is the name of the plastic compression fitting that goes onto the bottom of a metal flange and could you do a video on this , including showing them in place. Hold Tight :-)

Omg thank you so much! I just replaced the garbage disposal under my kitchen sink and one of the connections kept leaking... Turns out I didn't have those rubber gaskets installed correctly. You're a lifesaver... I was so ticked cause after all my hard work I thought I'd have to call a plumber in after all!

Although... If plumbers here in the states were as handsome as you I wouldn't have minded calling one in haha....

ek tu hi nirankar main teri sharna mainu baksh lo

Simple explanation!!! Thank you !

nice one

Ironically I am watching this while watching the aussies kick england's butt in the 2019 4th test match hahahaha.

YOU HAVE SAVED MY LIFE

Many thanks, invaluable information for a numpty like me.

Now I know why my undersink plumbing job was drippy. Did it wrong. All fixed!

thanks very helpful

Thank you! Survived first plumbing disaster after dad passed away and we had no idea what to do to fix a leak under the kitchen sink. Luckily Pop had all the tools in a very neat shed :)

That worked thanks!

Perhaps you can tell me WHY does every place I live in in my many many years end up at some point with connection coming apart without any physical reasons?? Never seemed to be an issue with places that had metal pipes. Just had to worry about rusted holes back then. Probably have just dated myself...LOL! I have learned to always check my connections when I move to a new place...but eventually...I get caught unawares months to years later with a leak...and on inspection...the pipe is either completely un-connected OR so loose as to be soon to be unconnected?? Should one set an alarm to check all connectors at a certain time interval?? I always am disgusted with myself in not thinking about it...then disaster happens and I end up with problems with water. I was told my a landlords maintenance man that this was normal for plastic pipes...but it is stupid IMHO to need to repair water damage cause plastic pipes "normally" come apart when they want to.

Thanks - just what was needed to double check where I was going wrong!

So grateful! This is the clearest instruction i have found. Been doing things wrong. going to go and do it again now!

Haha great intro

My second-hand home was missing the tapered rubber seal, just having the anti-slip washer. It was totally confusing. I just cleaned it out a couple of hours ago and it's not leaking, but certainly not very reliable! One bump to the j-trap and it's all over. Look's like I need a trip to buy a tapered seal! I'm glad you had this simple video. Thanks!

Your videos can be very helpful. Especially when you're not being silly.

just fixed my kitchen sink from watching this! Brilliant thanks

Great vid thanks will check out other vids too

Why is that anti slip thing needed? I've never seen here in the US but i'm not a plumber, its just pvc and washer , does it have an official name?

Oh my goodness, after pulling the pipework apart under the sink to clear a blockage and then putting the pipework back together, couldn't figure out why the joint was then leaking badly... thanks so much for your video, straight away I could see why, have put the connection back on properly, no leaks!! 😊

Thank you - i worked out where I went wrong - no more leaks!

Best start to a plumbing video ever.

Great help for ordinary folk when leaks happen. The dishwasher outlet pipe came off so I had a go at fixing it myself. Just one thing. I had the black O seal thingy upside down after it fell out, so couldn't screw the fitting tight until I realised. . Great videos. I've watched lots of them to help me understand what plumbers do on my house and to try and fix problems myself.

💓🙏🇺🇸

Thank you soooooooooooooo very much this was very helpful.

Big thank you!

Thank you, kind Sir. Your video just helped me fix my loose compression seal leak.

Nice and to the point, thanks! 👍🏻👏🏻

Thanks

Life saver 🙌

THANK you.
Now I can put everything back together :)
Hooray for the internet figuring out what I meant, without knowing any of the correct words.

Thanks you save me £99 today, fix it myself🤞🏽

This saved me 200 quid

Better than the cricket 😂

Watching in 2024 and England still bad at cricket

Metal always wins! Thank you for this video!

13 year old video just saved my life. Trying to put my sink pipes back together after unblocking them with a cable... they were leaking, I had assembled the nut and seals incorrectly

Thanks

Where do you get the anti slip collar and tapered compression seal from please?….thanks Dave

Thank you for taking the time to shore us how plumbing works!!
