OLD GALVANIZED WATER PIPE CRACKED!...Replaced The Old Water Line With Pex Pipe
What happens here
The threaded ends of the remaining galvanized pipe sections are then removed from the existing fittings. This is done using two large 18-inch pipe wrenches, with one acting as a backup to hold the fitting steady and prevent damage, and the other used to loosen the pipe. A 'cheater bar' is used on one of the wrenches for additional leverage to break the tight, corroded connections.
