To convert my church from a commercial building into residential, I need to get an occupancy permit. To get occupancy, I need laundry and a 3 piece bathroom. DeWALT Impact Driver: geni.us/ySeVC (Amazon)
In today's video, I'm finally finishing my bathroom/laundry setup! This took a LOT of work - electrical, plumbing, ventilation, framing, drywall, paint - you name it! It feels good to finally be done.

I installed one of these pumps in my basement, but I chose to have the washer dump into a utility sink, and the sink into the pump. That way, if the pump ever fails or the gfci circuit trips, I don’t end up with gallons of water all over my floor

@jmorv8866 Год назад

13:08, dumb question here, but aren't you required (or is it safer) to install a GFCI in this area, due to the plumbing being in close proximity?

@robertm5969 Год назад

Yea I was curious about this too. I thought it needed to be GFCI if it's within 6ft of a water source, unless it feeds to another branch circuit.

@1djbecker Год назад

The current NEC requires laundry area receptacles to be GFCI protected. That might be done at the breaker, but it's less expensive and more convenient to use a GFCI receptacle. It's a top priority location to retrofit if you want to improve safety.

@keebler82ut Год назад

Just a word of advice for terminating stranded wire, such as the dryer receptical. Always wiggle the wire (left to right, back and forth, as well as counter clockwise), after screwing down the connection, then screw it down some more. This will ensure a solid connection that will not work its way loose over time. This is the standard practice for every stranded wire termination in commercial electrical work in the IBEW.

@StfuFFS Год назад

What Jeff's using is cable. Wire is a single conductor (the ground wire) while cable is a bunch of little wires twisted together. Most new construction in the US is wire these days probably for the fact that there's a few extra building codes that come along with cable vs wire but I prefer working with cable if I can avoid wire. Larger gauge wire can be extraordinarily stubborn as hell to bend sometimes but stripping wire is a dream compared to stripping cable. It sounds like semantics but the difference is not trivial.

@td389 Год назад

I would have ran the drainage pipe leaving the pump under the 240v outlet. Just in case, the pipe ever leaks (shouldn’t leak, but mysterious things happen) the water will be below the electrical. Just my personal preference.

@TennisGvy Год назад

Kinda crazy you need laundry for occupancy. It doesn't seem fundamental when there are places called laundromats.

@robertgiresi9515 Год назад

Yes, laundry should not be essential for occupancy. Still, anyone selling a home should definitely have it installed because that would be a deal breaker for most prospective home buyers if the home didn't have an existing laundry hookup.

@23tjdiazteca Год назад

I have an issue with my ac drain not draining properly so it gets backed up and since it's a unit in the hallway ceiling in a townhome, landlord keeps having a guy come out to drain but it lasts a dent week then it leaks out. I need constant vacuum to drain hose to force water to come down and drain through the sink drain in the bathroom where the drain hose goes into. Would something like this be doable to install under a sink to suck the water out of drain instead of relying gravity which doesn't seem to work given the catch drain under condenser is old and doesn't allow a good drain from it so it over floods and leaks out and into the floor. That catch pan is part of complete AC unit so it's not available given that unit is 30+ years old DVD requires someone to take dimensions and create a replacement part.

I read put the teflon tape on the pvc male then pipe dope over the tap This supposedly stops the drip. I haven't done it yet because was not sure of the correct process.Can you explain the correct way. This irrigation pipe is under extreme prezzure the city water pressure is insane.

Hi! Any recommendations on high-quality water pumps that can handle pumping up large amounts of water for a kitchen-sink and washer machine set-up in a basement? We live in split multi-level home (it's built on hill). The basement-kitchen/washer room is below ground level and our current water-pump is in the garage which is another level below the basement-kitchen/washer room. I'm thinking of buying a high quality pump and asking our landlord to handle the installation, so I can wash in the house instead of going to a laundromat. Our current pump was replaced by our landlord but it still overflows when we wash dishes so we cannot use a washer-machine despite here being hookups because it would flood our garage.

@SahilYousif 7 месяцев назад

You won’t believe it, I just failed inspection today installing the same Saniflo pump because I used a PVC ball valve on the discharge line. The saniflo manual doesn’t mention anything, but plumbing code in my area does mention using a non-corrosive metal ball valve on discharge lines. I wish the rough in inspector had caught this mistake.

@mancinidesignbuild 8 месяцев назад

Very detailed video. From viewing the install it looks like the fixtures are flowing down to the saniflow and pumping up to the main waste line. If so this method would be a solution for me. For my project, I first need to flow down to the macerator and then pump up to my main soil pipe. This is required to have a proper slope while keeping a headroom of 6'-10". If I use a saniflow macerator behind the toilet, the toilet area would need to step down and be below the level of the bathroom for the slope of the shower and sinks to connect to the saniflow.
