Pipes used to be cut with a tool that required several steps to make a threaded connection to a fitting. Richard Trethewey goes over the steps with the two plumbing apprentices. Then he shows them the new quicker method, using a fitting with a gasket to seal right into the proper place on the pipe. Using a clamping tool, he can compress the fitting to the pipe for an easy, safe connection.
