What happens here

This video demonstrates a modern method for repairing or connecting plumbing pipes using a press fitting tool, specifically the RIDGID RP115. Although the request was for soldering techniques, this video showcases press-fitting, which is a fast, flameless alternative to soldering for creating durable, watertight connections on PEX plumbing systems. The process involves placing the press tool's jaws over a PEX fitting and activating it to create a secure crimp.

That Fix It GuyAir Force–trained plumber

Brian learned plumbing in the U.S. Air Force and has plumbed his way around the world. Now he films the fixes homeowners actually face: slow toilets, dripping faucets, clogged drains, failing water heaters and disposals. He shows what broke, why it broke, and how to fix it for a fraction of the cost of replacing it. He's particular about the right part, too: no snappy traps, no chemical drain cleaners. His rule: if he can do it, you can do it.
