@capn1600 4 года назад

The video did not show but I was wondering how he got primer and glue on the slip or repair coupling above on the vent since you had to put the slip coupling on first slide it up or down. I see how you could prime and glue the pipe itself but how do you get inside of the coupling ? I assume he just put it on first and then slide it down the pipe then put them together but that seems awful messy but the only way I can imagine

Any advise on fixing this problem would be appreciated.

Wye fittings are for horizontal installation, a sanitary tee should have been used to keep the vent opening above the trap weir. The traps are now at risk of trap seal failure.

@stuarthkrantz 2 года назад

I was looking for some instruction on a tilt to the sink. 4 years ago I had some no -professional secure my sink (that looks like yours) to the floor. It’s gotten some black growth in my very dry basement. (50% or less (in winter)). I put a level in the sink and realized it’s skewed. I was looking for the right way to install a basement sink so it drains ALL it’s water.

Can a sink be plumbed to the standpipe with a sanitary T without any issues?

@LeifOfWilsonCreek 5 лет назад

Is the double-wye fitting with 45s is ok for venting and code? I thought the trap arm must let air pass above the level of the trap weir. The way it dives down before joining the vent puts a barrier between the vent and trap. I thought it would need a double sani-tee, which is a sharp 90 from both sides, or else vent the two traps separately and join above the flood level.

@kyusclips 5 лет назад

No you need a figure five fitting

@jeffdooley2431 4 года назад

Absolutely correct. Been doing plumbing for over 20 years and own my own business. It should have been two san tees stacked on top of each other. What you have to remember is that they have different codes in other locations in the united states. Ive always been on upc plumbing code.

@mazterplumber2549 3 года назад

No it shuts the vent off should have bream a double ty

@MisterGreenGuy 3 года назад

It should have been either a double tee, or two tees, one stacked on top of each other. Preferably the later so when its snaked it wont go through the double tee. He was incorrect when he said it wasn't a vent under that tee, its called a wet vent as is legal in every state as long as its on the same floor. This is a horrible video.

@LeifOfWilsonCreek 3 года назад

@@MisterGreenGuy Don't give bad advice. Wet venting isn't that simple. You can't dump a huge load like a washing machine in above a sink trap. That slug of water is enough to block the pipe and siphon out the sink trap. The reverse might be OK, but the washer can't be stacked above the sink. Wet venting allows certain special cases where a sink (a very small load) can trickle into vents for larger fixtures, with particular restrictions. I don't remember all the allowed cases, but for example a bathroom sink can drain into a 3" toilet vent.

@adams5423 Месяц назад

This DWV is incorrect. A double wye and 45's place the vent below the fixture trap, which is not allowed due to potential siphoning similar to an S. Also before gluing joints together, you deburr the inside of the pipe and chamfer the outside edge of the pipe for best fit into the hub. When gluing, you start with pencil alignment marks offset then push down and twist until marks line up to spread the cement.

Purple makes the inspector's job easier. If they see the primer, they know it's up to code. Clear would make it harder to establish. You are correct that in a visible plumbing fixture, clear would look nicer. You would only need to use the clear where it is exposed.

@montanalivin8248 4 года назад

If a plumber does not prime his/her joints, I would hardly call them a professional plumber. Our inspector let us use clear and if our joints failed, it only made us look bad plus we were liable for them in the long run.

My question is that the drain pipe is pretty low to the ground. So since there is no pump of any kind the drain pipe must be at that same level all the way around the basement and out of the house. If the drain was higher than the washing machine there would have to be a pump to get it up to the drain pipe going out of the house? Is that correct?

@imkatiekateful 2 года назад

Yes. I had to have a sump pump added to my utility sink and the washer drain into the sink.

@MrNeptunebob 4 года назад

But is that not the WRONG kind of fitting for the two drains? It should look more like a cross as not a Y as now it forms an illegal type of trap (an S trap rather than a P trap).

@guitar1301 4 года назад

It all depends on what state your in and what code your working from... New Jersey you can use a cross wye with 2- 45° offsets as long as it's less than 3 feet from vent.... if any more than a 2nd vent would need to be installed.... I heard in other states that a double sanitary tee would be required

Correct me if I’m wrong but the sink has a P trap under it, thus it should be to “code”

@WanderleiSilva29 7 лет назад

looking for help here..... I don't know what plumbing codes are in MA, but I am looking to install a utility sink in my basement... not for laundry purposes though because my washer and dryer is upstairs on the first floor.... This sink will be used strictly to watch my hands after working with tools, and yard work without having to go upstairs to wash them...... I have a 2 story house with a full basement..... I plan on locating this sink approximately 10 feet away from my sump pump..... My questions are: since the sink will drain only 10 feet away from my sump pump, I planned on coming out of the drain and gravity feed the line directly into the sump.... do I need to install a p-trap here or can I just 90 out of it and drain it into the pit?...... Is it best to just cut into the 3/4 inch cold water and hot water copper supply lines to feed the sink and just install a check valve on the supply line?..... Im assuming that if the sink is not running in the basement, the water pressure upstairs on the other 2 floors would not be affected... is this accurate to say? Every video I see on youtube is a sink / laundry configuration.... I cant find one that fits what im looking to do.

@Ozzie4Para 2 года назад

I know this is an old video but one thing I noticed is they didn't secure the sink to the concrete which is a dumb move. I would have dry fitted everything in place. I then would have marked the four holes where the sink's legs would be screwed to the concrete. That way you can move the sink out of the way when you drill the four holes for fasteners which will make it much easier to secure the sink after all the hoses and drain pipe is installed. Not securing a utility sink is dumb. It's such a simple but effective thing to do but yet a lot of people tend to skip this step just from being lazy.

My washer stack uses a double sanitary T, also the drain pipe isn't tall enough to code in my area.

It is a vent it breaks the vacuum so the traps do not gurgle just as he sated in the video . The traps work as they are meant to the water in them keeps the gases out of the home.The vent vents the gases out of the home through the roof of the home and also break the vacuum that would be there if there was not a vent .

Our local code states that you have to have the bigger waste load be first which in case is the washer drain then you can install a tee in above that one for the utility sink to allow for proper drainage and venting.

@MrItsthething 4 года назад

But wait, this still isn't to code. You have to use a double tee and not a double y due to siphoning issues. I personally don't think there's anything wrong with the wye, but code doesn't usually allow it.

You'd either use a special fitting called a 'Figure 5', or a double sanitary tee. Using a wye like this cuts off the venting for each of the traps when they're in use. A figure 5 is preferred, to avoid the washer throwing water over to the sink drain, since a sanitary cross (double tee) is straight across. The Figure 5 steeply drops the branches into the drain, and vents. Here's a related tidbit... Toto toilets dump very quickly, so in their instructions, they call for correctly sized figure 5 fittings in a back-to-back installation.

So I’m assuming that the solder flux and the pvc cleaner and glue are all safe to get on your hands, as no gloves were worn during this.

Richard, you left pipes in front of the window, and that seems like a poor choice on several levels. Could you have lowered those pipes below the window, or is there some code issues that required you to block the window? As an inspector (Electricaf), I’d likely fail the installation and ask. You to lower those pipes. Thanks
