How to install an upflush toilet SANIFLO, part of my How to build a basement bathroom series 4 of 4 

Thank you for all that explanation, a true professional. Now I'm ready to do my on the garage

Getting ready to a half bathroom in our basement and I'm going to go with the saniflow system. This is the best install video I've seen, thx for posting.

brill video! toilet in my garage soon!!!

“take a crap, test it”😂😂😂😂 gotta love kids

What a frickin breath of fresh air! I’ve never wanted to subscribe to a channel this much. Your attention to detail matches mine. Most instructors don’t want you to sweat the small stuff so they skip over, what I think, is a lot of key information for those who are absolutely clueless on what they are trying to learn. Thanks a lot! Very informative and simple explanations.

Hey Jim, my Saniflo grider is ordered and due here this coming week. What a welcome suprise and so very helpful to have you walk through the pieces and how it all works. No doubt your video will be my reference item while I install. Thanks so very much for taking the time to do this and do it so clearly and completely.

Nicely done. Appreciate you walking us through this. I stalling my first one this weekend. 34yrs in general construction and never done one.

Great video, I’m going to install this in my basement and did not want to cut my cellar floor to get to my sewer line and two thumbs up for the input, very helpful 👍👍

Excellent job of how to install

Very informative and easy to understand and follow. Some how to videos can leave you feeling even more confused than you were before you watched them 😅 hopefully getting a house with a basement, and this would be a great solution for a basement bathroom.

Installing mine right now Thanks for the tips and also remember this is a second bathroom setup, u cant use this setup for a whole familly all day non stop

i plan to get a different brand at half the price of the Saniflow, but this helped show me that it should be a doable install myself.

Wow, your demonstration was on point. You made it look so easy to do. Thanks for the video.

1am flushing toilet sounds like a jet engine is inside the house. But awesome solution!

Fantastic Jim thanks for explaining each step in the process of installing the upflush toilet. Like installing a wall mount toilet there are many small jobs involved in completing the installation. You were very careful to follow the manufacturers instructions which is always very important.

Fantastic tutorial. Using this for my garage

Thank you Jim. Great video.

Wow ! That is a nice video Jim, thank you for supporting our products ! We sent you an email to see if you would like to review some of our other products ! Talk to you soon !

i have a below ground toilet, sink and shower with a tank and pump (not sure the brand) but its about 25 years old and seems to have died? at least the breaker keeps tripping. I thought I might replace the breaker first to see if that is the only problem, but if the whole system needs to be replaced, I may need to do something like this. Most of the plumbing is already i n place I think, but part of it runs under a wooden floor! The current toilet sits on top of a small grey platform with the pump and tank underneath that I think!! wish me luck!!

Thanks for sharing this video wow

Best how to install saniflo video

You are so brilliant!

Awesome video! Thanks for the well thought out tutorial

So helpful! Thank you!

Exelente tu video mi hermano..me gustaría poner un baño igual en el baseman..pero no se nada de esa instalación..muchas bendiciones..

great video thanks for the step by step installation.

That was immensely educational and entertaining. Thank you

Thank you Jim

Well gotta say gotta love plumbing 😎

Great video! This should be the how to video for saniflo!

Great detail . Im installing one this week. This is a huge help. Thanks

Good video. One comment. Instead of using two 45 degree elbows, I'm pretty sure you can use a single long sweep 90 degree ell. The 90 long actually has slightly lower resistance to flow and two connections opposed to four for the 45's.

Hey Jim. Good video. My brother wants me to install one of these in his place. You make it look easy enough. As long as you are handy to start with.😋😋 Thanks for sharing.👍👍🍁🙏

A man's man! Thank you for the great video brother! I'm doing this next month and you made me feel a lot more comfortable! God bless you too

No primer on discharge PVC. How's that held up after a year?

Hi Jim. Thanks for doing this vid! I’m about to install one of these in our basement. Where did you source your Sani-flo? I think the box stores will order them but I’ve also seen them online from various websites. Curious if you found a good price. Thanks man!

Simpler system in west Africa was an accordian part similar to what you had in the rear of the toilet (without that whole kit and kaboodle parts) and a straight pvc pipe to the suk-away (sewage). Same size pipes but fewer bells and whistles. If you can get a direct line to your sewage pipe, all you need is gravity.

Thanks Very good video!

Thanks for this great DIY!

great job thanks

Really good instructions. Have you installed a shower for the Saniflo? I would really like to see how the shower drain and p-trap work out. Thanks.

I like this thing

you are good

Nice video! 🤜🏽🤛🏽

Invest in a T handle nut runner it torqued for the correct weight for the sized nut for your hose clamps. Try using pvc pipe cleaner and then the glue if you want to be more like a “professional plumber”. The smaller screws that he was saying it to mount the W/C to the floor they get the longer screw and the tank gets mounted to the floor with the smaller screws.

Is it possible to replace a toilet with SaniFlo on first floor to a normal toilet.

nice job

Great video. Thanks.

nice work!

Awesome video

Do these have a check valve (non return valve) built into the box? Ours will not pump water out and its because there's a faulty check valve about a foot past where it pumps water out of the box. I am wondering if that check valve is even needed, or if there's already one it the box. Stuck between replacing the faulty check valve or just removing it entirely.

Thank you

I know u can run a sink or bathtub drain through the maserater but what about a washer drain? Does it need a separate pump?

When having a one of these systems in your house. Is it best to have shower on one side and toilet and basin on another side of the system. I currently have my shower and basin and toilet on one side of the system and i found that water takes long to drain out when having a shower

I just installed one of these myself with the help of your video, is the water level in the toilet supposed to be really low. I noticed there's no more adjustment in the tank it just seems like the level should be higher

Thanks for the video. What needs done to protect the electrical outlet? My pumps instructions says the 120VAC Outlet need to be protected by a 3amp fuse. How is that accomplished? Or is the 20 amp circuit breaker all you used?

Awesome video thank you so much. Would love to see your shower video if you make one.

Plumber here-The “S”trap is missing the vent, probably the shower also. FYI, the fixture unit count for the system exceeds the 2” line a lot. I hope that you don’t have any sewer gas issues when the pump cycles.

The way you have installed it by not fitting it to the floor is better as this won’t create additional vibration.

If I have two bathrooms already that are vented does this have to have a separate vent?

very helpful video - how are you finding the system a year in?

I'm trying to do this but so confused. The waste inlet from the sink to the tank is solid. Am I supposed to cut it?

I'm installing mine right now, once I put the tank it feels slightly wobbly. Not like it's going to fall or anything it just wobbles a little bit (it is still empty) Is this normal? I feel like the bolts are really tight and I don't want to break it

Great video! 👍 I've been plumbing for a little over 3 years so I wanted an excuse to install one of these bad boys. We normally wouldn't use an S trap because of siphonage, but I won't nit-pick lol. Doing a shower might be a lot more work because you have to build a 6" platform for it to sit on, but less than breaking up concrete. Overall a great video! 👍

The sink and shower ventilation is provided by the the saniflo? Or they need separate venting too?

Anybody know what size drill bit should be used forn the holes in the concrete?

⁠ I bought the saniflo saniaccess 3 and the instructions are kinda vague it doesnt say anything venting the accessories like shower or the sink I see you vented the toilet Did you vent your shower p trap?

Hello, i have a cast iron main pipe. I don’t want to mess with it/cut it. In the basement I have a sink like yours with existing pipe that drains into this pipe probably 2”. I was wondering if I were to use this 2” pipe for the saniflo discharge line instead of routing it to the main pipe, would it work?

How much did the up flush toilet cost?

why did you in stall the cut off valve on the discharge line?

Tightening, shouldn’t it have a torque rating for it to be tightened to?

Good job and explained very well. I have a question, I have radiant heat in my floor. How would you attach the flush to the floor? I’d love your input on that please!!! Dave

I wish a lot of men would stop saying that because you got a lot of good men out here that bust their ass and you got a lazy woman that thinks that she can say you know happy wife, happy life no you make that man that’s the breadwinner that gives respect gives up his big dollars to make his wife happy that woman also probably keeps upkeep of his home, cleans it and takes care of the kids. That’s the meaning of happy life happy wife, it takes two people and dude you describe this better is some of the guys that are plumbers I’m a master plumber and I don’t like it being behind the wall unless there’s a accessibility

I wish I could have seen how you measured and cut the pieces and the wall.

I recently installed one of these units, is it normal for the water level in the toilet bowl to be that low? Does it do a good job staying clean?

Hi If i get a Saniflo Macerator , can you fit it to a normal convention toilet like my conventional toilet i have in my bathroom upstairs

Just installed one 2 days ago. How much water is in your bowl after a flush? Is it normal to be little compared to a regular toilet?

Im in south African where do iget that

Do these plug alot? Asking cause teenage boy in the basement😂

What size concrete drill bit would I need for the toilet anchor bolts?

Question how does waste 💩 go through that small pipe to the sower ???

Where does the air vent go?

Thanks 🙏☮️🫡✌🏻

I noticed old school plumbers don’t like this system and prefer the pit system. they always say good luck when you service it. Are there any drawbacks with this system other than the shower platform needs to be built which is not that hard

Every third word wife

Happy King Happy Kingdom.

I would not have used shark bites… and you could’ve been neater with the primer. But thanks for all the information. Saniflo seems like a good brand…… but 1” waste….. I don’t like it. But oh well!! Thank you sir

where does the sewage go to?

You need to use the purple primer on the PVC pipe or it will not stay connected 🙄💩the shift will hit the fan of the freezer

Don’t do this, put a sewage pit in the ground, sewage pit has 2” discharge sani flow has 3/4” lol little more labour but same price in the end 👍

Masonry

this guys really scared of his wife...

Not true vented many for yrs with an aav

soooo ... ur shit is discharged through a 1 inch pipe ??

You left out the part where you take a crap and test it

We’re did the waste line go

Do they make just a pump for a shower in basement?Where would I hook discharge?Have a sink and toilet in basement roughed in and no need for a grinder type pump.

Is vent pipe a must and also do it need to be placed further up the vent pipe
