Nice job. Why should the valve be closed?

A wet rag would help.Also the handle comes off easily.I kniw most will not take the handle.But if your new its one less thing in the way.

I realize this is an older video, but I ask, is there a directional way to install a ball valve? I mean is one side devoted to the input and the other output? On gate valves they have an arrow for direction. But ball valve have nothing. Just wondering...

Is this type of valve directional? I mean, is it possible to install it backwards or can it go on the pipe in either direction?

what does the part number on bodies means for example 101708

Always include the WHY for each thing you say.

Your fittings leak!!! Ive never had an issue with Viega for over 15 years. 2 leaking Nibco fittings in as many years. What a joke and liability.

NIBCO wants people to install valves this way so they can sell them another one.

Applying too much heat

You are applying too much heat... you almost cook the flux ... just look at the color of the pipe!! Excessive heat....

Nibco makes crappy fittings. Zero quality control on Nibco's part. I've gotten fittings that looked like they were bitten off by a shark there were so bad. I'll stick with Viega. Viega is more expensive but much better quality.

Sorry #The DIY HVAC Guy is who I meant

Word to your mother!

And you can also find opinions that the valve should be taken apart to protect the plastic seals, not sure how much heat is put into the valve body and how durable the seal materials are.

I was told to have the valve in the open position. Why to you insist it should be closed? My guess would be to keep the heat so to speak.

How did you do the copper on the interior? Is that a wrap or was it copper plated/dipped?

Very nicely done with one small error. I’ve seen at least a dozen “experts” videos on ball valve soldering. You are the only one that does not allow the valve to cool after doing one side before moving to the other side. If you are at all concerned about protecting the plastic in the valve, that seems like a no brainer thing to do. Also, many recommend a wet rag wrapped around the central part of the valve for the same reason. Otherwise, excellent video. If you wanted a complete tutorial maybe add a brief segment on soldering these valves in the vertical position but hey, there’s lots of other references out there for that anyway.

That was helpful. Thank you very much.

Great job on the video -- watched it twice, and shared it.

Can resist at 5000 psi and have you 50 mm diameter

Hi, why do I need to keep a ball valve in the closed position during soldering? I am going to solder a ball valve. I went to DYI forum and asked if I need to keep the ball valve open or closed? One "expert" replied that the valve must be in the open position to let the hit go away. So, should it be open or closed?

I could think of at least 3 other preferred ways

Would you explain to us the change in the valve handle color from red or blue to White as from your factory in Mexico. These are a bother as I must repaint to match the system .

I am no plumber but did this on my main shutoff in 2014 and have never had leaks. I think I did 200 or more solder joints that weekend. My arms were hurting after all that twisting/cutting and preparing the pipe. Copper lasts a lifetime.

Excellent way to market a new product. NIBCO = innovation!

Супер!!!👍

I didn't need the rap, but looks like a great product. I always install Nibco when possible.

Are the elbows pure copper?

The url you have mentioned at the end is not working, can you share me here

Can't wait to visit Nibco.

I haven't soldered since I started using press tools. I probably wont ever need to.

Nibco fails in quality control where I have received fittings that are burred and straight up screwed up. And as for your customer service is at it's worst!

Good job

Who can tell me the machine supplier for the bending, punching(stretch the internal diameter) and turning for this copper fitting? and T model machine. Many thanks! My email address is zglzhl@gmail.com

Nice video! Keep it up!

I'm proud to say I live in Stuarts Draft!
