Is this how you would do it?

No, this is how I would do it.

However you do it, step 1 is to turn off the water supply

Turning the water off would be a good start.

1. TURN THE FUCKING WATER OFF. 2. GO BUY A FUCKING SHARK BITE FITTING!

First, shut off the water! Then get the proper-size Plex fitting, coupler, or union and install it.

Not even close

No. Turn off the water first, then do something dumb.

Use a damn repair coupling But on a more important note STOP POSTING 3RD WORLD BULLSHIT! I don't want to block you. You post great content but this idiotic crap needs to stop

One large single coupling, slide down bottom first, then up to top.

my husband is a plumber. that's not how you do it. a piece of pipe and two couplings.

First I would turn the water off...

It would slow down water flow

you should turn the water off first

That is from the Democratic School of Plumbing.

No

No.

Every right angle joint causes a pressure head loss in the system. This individual just added four 90 degrees turns where there shouldn't be any.

If you have a charge account at the hardware store. The 90 degree L’s are probably $3 a pop. Epoxy and tape first.

TL;DW

I really enjoy these shakey finger videos of how to half ass everything. Much appreciated seeing another one. How bout turning off the water first

I lost brain cells watching this....

Why don’t they turn off the water?

Hmmm....how does that work with 8" hdpe?

That's fucking retarted

Maybe turn off the water first next time

That's a lesson in stupid

Just a thought, you could turn off the main and use a couple of slip couplers with a piece of pipe between them. It would look less retarded.

Uhhhh ridiculous, one simple slip coupling problem solved!

@Kelly4Info LOL turn the water off 1st at the valve or to the house

This is easier using self-fusing silicone tape:

Wow what a friggin nightmare.
