Ditto--she is so awesome---I've learned more from her than anybody---She not only knows what she is doing---she knows how to teach.

When I just bought my house about 4 years ago. I watched your video on changing the shut off valve for a washing machine. Your directions were very clear and straight forward. Thanks for sharing so much knowledge and helping me save some cash.

You are an incredible teacher! I'm DIY girl myself, largely due to videos like yours, some ingenuity and a dash of confidence. I keep telling myself I should make videos to help others too. Thank you so much!! ❤🌷

Leah, I love your presentation style. You make it easy for anyone to feel confident with this kind of home repair. Thanks for doing these!

Another great demonstration video, Leah. No wasted time, just easy to understand instructions and all questions answered. Thanks!

So simple, but oh so helpful! I appreciate you breaking it down and making it very easy to understand. So many videos out there don't explain these things simply enough. Love your videos! Thanks again! 🙏

Man. That trick of wrapping the old ferrule with tape is a super tip. You know, like most people who can't always pay a pro, I've been a DIY-er most of my life. Carpentry, plumbing, electrical, etc. I can tell you it is ALWAYS educational to watch a pro at work. Thanks Leah!!

Hi, Leaha two things, thanks to you I tightened the compression nut and it stopped my water drip at the water supply line to my toilet that was dripping for a couple days. Also, I alone purchased and replaced my toilet. I tried to use a cheap snake from Harbor Frieght but it didn’t work for me that’s why I replaced the toilet. Love you you Leaha. And because of you I actually finished something I started !!!!!

Seriously the best resource for a home owner. Jane is the AthleanX of her field.

Leah is truly the gift that keeps on giving to DIYers! The Homeowner's Encyclopedia. We love you forever, Leah! ❤ Happy New Year! 🎉

I love the way you explain things so thoroughly! Thank you for this video. I was stumped on my valve replacement project until I watched this.

Thank you Leah! I've been upgrading my basement and part of that included moving the water heater, washer, and dryer and adding a slop sink. I've been using Teflon tape an any and all threads for a couple of years now, without knowing why or when it should actually be used. I also figured out I was using the wrong fitting to screw my washer faucets into.

The bonus: Plumber's trick using the plumber tape works perfectly for me from using the old ferrules. Most plumbers said it wouldn't help, great to hear this from Leah. Thank you very much!!

Wrapping the feral with plumbers tape totally works! I have a handyman business and I ran into a feral that I didn’t want to remove and it was leaking. My buddy who is a plumber told me to wrap it with plumbers tape, worked wonderfully! Great vid Leah

Thanks Leah for being the best teacher ever!

My problem was at 6:10. The new brass olive ring was loosing on the pipe, I also changed the plastic one but still the same. I didn't know how to make it hold tie on the pipe but you solve out this problem very simple and easily. Many many thanks for your video clip Jane . You're awesome. I wish you all the best ⛤⛤⛤⛤⛤👍👍👍👍👍

Leah, excellent instruction! I finally figured out ( my daughter did ) why I didn’t have a Bell for notifications. Thanks for another outstanding video.

This has got to be "the" best video explanation wise and speed of presentation that I have ever scene. And accurate.

Your videos are very well detailed and have been very helpful to me. You have helped me get a lot of home jobs done. Thank you, very much.

Thank you so much for another clear, concise, and empowering lesson.

Good, clear instructional video, Leah. I knew some of this information from experience, but you explained the how and why. Thank you!

OMG. my father in law has been trying to remove the cold water supply valve on my kitchen faucet for two hours. Banging, cussing, heavy breathing. He was cranking the rear but counter clockwise. After I held the front valve one quick clockwise crack in the rear and all good to go So glad I found this video. THANK YOU

Thank you for the bonus tip Leah! I have a leaky ferrule and was planning to cut the pipe off so I could put a new ferrule on. I will try the teflon tape first!

Everything looks easy with you Leah thanks for sharing.

I love the way you teach. A gentle tone that makes it easy to learn. Thank you.

I feel so much more informed; and educated; and confident to take on this project! Thanks Leah!

Perfectly informative and delivered at just the right pace. Thank you.

The best explanation by far. So easy to understand and presented quickly without superfluous vidoe production. Now please cover how much to tighten connections with ferrells. When to stop when not to stop tightening.

Excellent advice! Also, many kudos on your clear annunciation and excellent camera angles - easy to see and understand.

Another great and useful video. One tip I got from a Plummer for connections using rubber seal was not to over tighten joint as this would cause rubber to distort and create leak. Great advice considering many guys like to tighten the Cr#p out of any nut.

Once again, I turn to Leah for advice, and again, I thank you!

I love you, Leah! Thanks for being out here...

Thank You! Yesterday was the first time I ever replaced a water compression valve (for my toilet). Unfortunately, it had a VERY slow but annoying leak from behind the compression nut. Per your idea, I wrapped teflon tape around the ferrule before re-connecting compression nut to valve. It worked! Not even a damp spot to feel. You saved me a sleepless night and a call to the plumber.

I've replaced a good number of shut-off valves before but I've just run into a situation where I'm getting a similar leak on one (out of four) that I just replaced and I can't get it to go away. I'm going to try and out now and see if it works!

Much love for the sealing up of an old ferrel trick. There has been many occasions where copper pipe coming out of wall is too short to cut and redo and in addition old ring has really embedded itself in pipe. Great trick!!! Happy Thanksgiving Leah and everyone else!!!

You are so amazing!!! Thank you so much! I was fixing my sink today and this video saved my day!

Thanks, Leah! You explain this so clearly. You're a treasure!

I am a licensed master plumber and I use both pipe dope and Teflon tape together. Also pipe dope is used as a lubricant to allow for threaded pipe to get tighter. I use pipe dope for compression fittings as a lubricant so it’s not metal on metal grinding so much. PS I use my channel locks or handle puller tool to get old ferrules off copper. A used ferrule will usually leak even with Teflon

I watch another plumber on YT and he does the same thing using pipe dope with tape. Only he calls it "Fritz." He also puts pipe dope on the slip joints found with those cheesy drain pipes you thread together for sinks from the home improvement stores for the DYIers.

Jane has a great specialized tool for removing ferrules, it's compact, simple, great for operating in small spaces and easy to store but a little pricey at $40 delivered. see it in her video here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/q2SdzdOzg92TdLQ.html

Very informative - this was explained in very easy terms. I used tape for everything - now i know better - thanks

you demoed and explained very clear with no misunderstanding. great job👍👍!

This video is by far the best breakdown I have seen. Thank you!

I LOVE your videos. They are excellent for teaching people that are new to DIY.

Thank you Leah for explaining in detail. Made it so much easier. 👍

You are the best. Thank you so much. I love that you started with what not to do. Looks like I do not need the Teflon tape with my compression quarter turn shut off valve. I used it and it leaked. I followed your instruction and it worked.

Thanks for the "Bonus" tip. Just what I needed!

Jane, thanks. Your videos are always well done.

Thank you so much! I have been able to find one of your videos for each issue I have had.

We have a product in the UK called LSX. it's a clear sealant that comes In tubes similar in size to the two you showed. I find in prudent to add a smear around the olive or on the thread of every compression join as an extra safeguard against leaks.

nice tip about old ferrels - I didn't know about that but was able to tighten my connection enough to stop a small drip using a ferrel I couldn't remove anyway

I love that you teach things most videos skip over

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS LEAH, YOU ARE MY GO TO GAL FOR HOW TO'S!

That was a very good explanation. Thanks, Leah.

Thank you. I never knew when to use plumbers tape so I use it on every valve or pipe I have to put together.

Thank you Leah This was a great video and was very informative Thanks again

Actually need this for a repair job under the kitchen sink this weekend! Thx!

I love watching your videos. I’ve been learning a lot. Thanks, Namaste

If you stuck all the way to the end, you saw Leah use plumber's tape around the ferril? (sp) to stop small leaks. Great idea to try if you have that problem. I actually had that problem (could not remove the ring, could not replace the copper pipe easily as it was very short sticking out of the wall, so I went to the trusty KZread and found that using pipe joint compound around the ring would work, and IT DID. So that's another option for you.

Excellent explanation. Thank you very much. So clear and easy to understand.

Great content! It’s perfect timing for me too! Did some plumbing recently 👍

Simple explanation...learn everyday... Thank You...

Again, all I can say is bravo,and thank you. Awesome video

You're the bomb. You make it so easy to understand.

You’re awesome Jane!!! Seriously thank you!!

The last tip was awesome, I bought a new shut of valve for the sink, and the new ferrule it came with wouldn't seal it, I guess the copper pipe become slightly bent when I removed the old valve or when I smoothed the pipes surface. I spent the whole day figuring out what to do for a quick fix, I watched this video and I tried wrapping it many times with teflon tape, but it finally worked when I wrapped it all the way down to the end of the copper pipe.

Answered my question. Thanks for the vid!

What a GREAT tip at the end with the Ferrel ring of you can't get it off!

See Jane teach! Thank you!

Jane i love you , you would have made a great teacher , thank you for all your talent

thank you for the very helpful video :) Please show how to fix a dripping outdoor faucet (for garden hoses).

Thank you! I always enjoy your videos

Good information. Thank You. There are also a couple of different types of pipe dope. I prefer the type with Teflon in it. I found it always worked better for me.

Thank you for verifying tapered pipe threads doesn't seal without teflon..also on my 2004 mustang gt the transmission drain and filler plugs are tapered pipe thread..I've notice alot of people don't put teflon on the plugs..they think just because it tightens it seals automatically..I've replaced these plugs back in the day and when opening the package from Ford it had pipe thread sealant on it..so yes we use teflon in the automotive racing industry and in the home..thank you jane.

I love this woman.

What advice to you have about tightening the connection? I'm sure there's a correct way to know that the connection is made tight enough so you're not worrying if it is going to leak because either too loose (and it may seem fine in the beginning but will start leaking over time) or worse: over-tightened that you mess up the compression fitting and/or strip the threads -- obvious that's wrong too. Thanks for the video -- always informative!

👍👍 Thank you ma'am😌 everytime I watch, I'm learning👍.

Thank you so much for the information. you really educated me.

Another excellant video, thank you.

Thank you! Worked perfectly!

Never seen the teflon over the ferrule like that...but have had those small drips that develop over a day's time when you go back for a followup look...I may try this, Thanks!

Thank you for these instructions 🙏🏼
