@davidharrison3074 Год назад

It is always fun to do drain work as well. On my jobs with remodeling, I'd have some kids that would see my tote containers and say it looks like tinkertoys and want to play with all the pieces. Using a chop saw is really nice even on three and four inch schedule 40. Rolling the pipe if it wouldn't cut all the way through works as well. In our area, it's okay to have a clean out extended up after the inspection and the test plug was removed and would be checked on the final inspection. As always each area is different with codes. Using purple primer is liked in our area as well because it shows the fittings were primed too. Nice clean job and the back filling done really well. So important to make sure you fill under the pipes and making them secure and holding the fall as well. Thank you for all the details even with using tapcons to hold your lines. I find it just as easy since I have the tools to do it on hand. Great Job Josh 🔨👍🏻

@TheExcellentLaborer Год назад

Oh yes, that’s a good option to have the clean out extend up. In this case it would be right in the bathroom and I did not want to have that in the middle of the floor. If I have to snake the plumbing , I can just go through the toilet drain. We must use purple primer here as well to show proof that primer was used. It is amazing how every coding is different in different areas. The tap con trick works well and can place the string lines back on the block before I pour the concrete to make sure they are still perfectly in place. As always, thanks for the detailed comment David! Take care!

For anybody watching this you do not have to use solid core PVC for residential application. Foam core PVC is perfectly fine for a normal single-family home with normal soil. If you had unstable soil and you were having to suspend the piping from the structural slab, then you would need to use solid core PVC, if not and you just have a normal situation 4 inch concrete, 4 inch layer of wash stone foam core PVC is perfectly fine. This is coming from a plumbing designer and also confirm with Charlotte pipe and foundry. There’s a huge misconception here with people thinking they need pressure rated piping is simply not true from an engineering standpoint it’s a unnecessary expense. However, this is a great video, and I actually learned something from a plumbing construction standpoint.

Thanks a lot! How do you consider vapor/insulation for slab? glad to see, My city inspector asks water level above roof for leak test. such traditional slab sewer is so hard to repair and I will never use it - Use sunken slab with tunnel for pipes. Thanks a lot! For vent through concrete block, you get to cement it first. For clean out, you get to leave it out some where - I don't think it can be used as clean out.

A lot of work. Makes it seem so easy to split underground years down the road

@joshuagreen9458 8 месяцев назад

not picking on you. just helping with more info. 2 inch pipe is the smallest one should use underground. horizontal dry vents are illegal so if you turned that vent into a wall cleanout it would make it legal. also idk if your walls are wood or cmu but if they were wood you wouldnt need to run a drain line for your lav because you could dirty arm off that vent in wall less piping underground the better. also not just deburing pipe but you should ream it with a reamer. there is videos out there that will show you why you should ream it. you should do ten feet for head pressure when you fill your pipe for the hydrostatic test. i will say as someone who does this for a living you explained it very well. probably the best ive ever heard. the application is great. keep in mind i understand we all have different codes in areas. ours code does not allow foam core in the ground.

@joshuagreen9458 8 месяцев назад

also for someone who is a beginner i would run string lines for both sides of all your walls. it doesnt take much longer and you wont forget which side of the string you need to be on. just another one of those prep steps that make a huge difference.

@plumbbuild6517 8 месяцев назад

You did a great job with the plumbing, the only thing I do differently is I never run 1 1/2 underneath concrete I always size up to 2” but code let’s you use 1 1/2 but me being a service plumber aswell I’ve have seen more blockages in 1 1/2 pipe than 2” pipe. But great job it looks very professional.

@bhenderson1674 2 месяца назад

@bruhen361diverI have a toilet that has always almost overflowed, swirled very slowly, then drained slowly, barely emptied if at all, then the bowl slowly refilled or only filled enough to keep gasses from coming past the throat opening. I finally removed the toilet, put a cell phone camera on a stick and found that the 3" pipe has a 90 degree elbow (not a sweeper, but a vent elbow). I tried snaking the drain, but it will only make the turn and another few inches until out of sight. When I tried to wiggle it to help out, I heard water splashing. Do you think replacing the toiled with one which has the Sloan "Flush Mate" valve or am I looking at busting up the slab?

@guven1001 4 месяца назад

Thank you for the very detailed video. I have a question: around the 21:14 mark on your video when your 3" toilet pipe is running toward the street there is a 2" downward pipe I am guessing that is an air vent or some vanity drain pipe. Isn't it against the plumbing code to have that way where the toilet waste could get into that 2" pipe? Thanks!

@grizzman1991 6 месяцев назад

nice job only thing i would have done different is increased the the 1-1/2 to 2 inch and the 3inch to 4... I always oversize under a slab!!

@WhispersFromTheDark 3 месяца назад

Josh, I've been watching your videos and actually taking notes (not joking) and I appreciate how detailed you are with explaining what you're doing and why, that is very useful information. I have a problem that I hope you can help me with. I will be building an apartment inside an existing metal garage that already has a concrete floor and I'm stumped at how I can run the slopes for the waste drains at the appropriate 1/4" per foot recommendations, without having to cut into the concrete floor. Other than building the floor up a foot or more, I'm at a loss on finding my options. I have looked everywhere for a video that shows someone installing plumbing on top of their existing concrete. I don't want to cut into the concrete, so what options do you see that I have? I will be doing most of the build myself so easier is always better for me. I'm old, I have a spinal injury and will be working on this on weekends going paycheck to paycheck. Thanks again for all that you do in helping us understand things while we build our dreams.

@kevintheplumber3729 6 месяцев назад

Good stuff. I can say though, as others have, about the 1 1/2 pipe. 2" minimum. Acutally, i think our local codes forbid 1 1/2 under slabs and definitely 3" under slabs. They are only allowed if there is a crawl space.

@richt2633 3 месяца назад

Great Video. Can you (or someone) direct me to info on free-standing tub rough-in before pouring concrete? Specifically the filler kit, the slab is the finished floor. Thnx again!!

@SB-dg8hq 2 месяца назад

In the UK we would only install the 4" pipe so that toilet drain and the drain for the sink would go into the same pipe above ground. We would not run a small diameter pipe underground. There would be a water trap under the sink to prevent smells from coming up from the drain.

@gbpg2016 2 месяца назад

So how do you get the toilet flange on once the concrete is laid? Do you remove it around the pipe before it cures?

I am planning a bathroom project in a building with a slab that has never been plumbed for anything. I would like to run the drain line from toilet, shower, and vanity above the concrete and exit the building out through the back wall with - one drain line. Basically, build a 10' X 10' floor, run lines to wall with no cutting into the concrete slab at all. Most videos show chopping out the cement and repouring. I can't find one that does it the way I describe. I would welcome any thoughts anyone has on this plan. I am concerned about over all gravity drop once the drain clears the building. Thank you

Most licensed professional plumbers will use a string block for wall dimensions, and fittings will be wye's with st 45. Also, the sewer exiting building is 4" with a clean out within 5ft of the outside wall. Also, the main vent shall be 3" with horizontal run, not at the same plain as the drain portion. WI requires a 5psi test for 20 minutes documented for inspection, leaving all fittings exposed for udc inspection.

@JTTTTx Год назад

Most codes require a 2” for all sinks. The trap arm will be 1 1/2 , but not the underground lines. Also, get the reamer/ deburing tool- way faster and better.

@@tehapu7358 When I said sink, I should have clarified that I meant kitchen, sculary (sp), etc. - fixtures with 1 1/2 tailpieces or 2” lever drains- lavatories have an 1 1/4 tailpiece and are 1 fixture unit. Pro tip- there’s no “ getting away “ with anything here, it’s either code compliant or wrong, sorry.
