Welcome to our comprehensive tutorial on Drain, Waste, and Vent (DWV) line installation!
In this video, we explore the ins and outs of modern plumbing systems, specifically focusing on the role and installation of the DWV system. This crucial component is responsible for safely transporting wastewater from your household fixtures to the main sewer line, while also preventing harmful sewer gases from infiltrating your living space.
We'll walk you through the careful process of designing a DWV system, which begins with a detailed assessment of your building's unique plumbing fixtures and their anticipated usage. Using this data, we then demonstrate how to determine the optimal pipe size and type, the correct number of vents, and their ideal placements.
In the installation phase, we break down the step-by-step process of cutting and joining pipes, placing fittings, and successfully connecting to the main sewer line. This all has to be accomplished while adhering to local codes and regulations, as any slip-ups can lead to hefty penalties. But don’t worry! We’ll guide you through this process with crystal-clear instructions and invaluable tips.
Remember, designing and installing a DWV system requires precision and expertise to ensure smooth waste flow, prevent clogs, and eliminate the risk of backflow. While our video is designed to empower you with knowledge, we strongly recommend hiring a licensed plumber with experience in DWV system installation for a professional and error-free setup.
So, tune in, equip yourself with essential plumbing know-how, and dive into the world of DWV systems with us!

@phunwithphiphi8055
@phunwithphiphi8055 4 года назад
I thought venting was to preserve the integrity of the traps, fluids will still drain without vents because there's no "thumb" at the end of the straw, however, traps will empty out or be partially filled so sewer gas can peculate up through the system. IPlease correct me if I'm wrong as I'm just an amateur. Other than that a very helpful video, thank you!
@saraselega9503

@@phunwithphiphi8055 fluid will still drain without vents, but it'll be slower/ not as effective. Vents allow for pressure to be equalized, because you're introducing air from atmosphere, and gasses within the system flow more freely. And you're right, vents also protect the water seals within the traps from siphonage/ back pressure, water seals prevent sewer gas from entering the building which is important, cause that stuff is gross smelling and not healthy to breath in

You are amazing! I recently (and stupidly) thought it would be a good idea to tear out the cast iron and replace with PVC by pulling my own permit and doing it myself. I soon found the venting issues in the code so confusing I turned to a couple plumbing forums. Thanks to their patience they finally got me through to passing inspection, BUT I still didn’t understand WHY I had to do things the way I did. This video explained every single thing that I was unclear on. Thanks for taking the time to go over all the details of why, and I really appreciate you showing how to measure, I wish I knew that trick when I was doing my project.

@@theartofplumbing I have a drain from a 1st floor toilet connected by a 90 elbow to a drain line in basement. The drain line does not have a cleanout at the beginning of the line where the toilet is connected. The only cleanout is 30' from the start where the 3" pipe transitions to 4" for pipe running from the basement to the septic tank. I am not having a problem with the drain line, but want to add a cleanout so it is available if there is a blockage in the line in the future. I also want to proactively jet the line this spring when I jet the line to the septic tank. Looking at options for a cleanout. As I see it, I could replace the elbow with a sanitary tee or install a cleanout after the elbow. Very interested in what you recommend.

@theartofplumbing

Glen. Yes, your right. The distance you run a waste or vent is calculated by 1 size of pipe and 2 the drainage fixture units demand on the system, but mostly in a residential home are pretty simple.

I've plumbed over 20 years. Nice to see a video of plumbing done properly and it's nice neat and straight as our title states PLUMB. What's your take on that plastic pipe hanger. I still use galvanize hanger. Also does your local code require purple primer? Luckily here in NC we are allowed to use Un-Purple primer which is visible with a UV flashlight. Again nice job.
@theartofplumbing
@theartofplumbing 5 лет назад
Thank you. Sometimes it depends on what part of the area you live in. Some inspectors only want to see the in-ground drain line in purple, so they don't have to crawl down into the ditch. The can see it from the top side. And others will let you get away with purple primer above ground. I call my local inspector first sometimes if I'm not sure. I wish everyone was on the same page. I'm sure you understand 😎

Thank you nice to meet you as well. Yes, you can put two toilets in one bathroom. How much would it cost. Hard to say there are many things to factor in. Do you have a cement floor, is the basement, is it going to be on the second floor, Is there existing plumbing there, etc, If you have blueprints or I could see the work area and what I had to work with than I could tell you how much 🧀 😉

Plumber's apprentice here; to connect two fittings with hubs ,what's the best measure of pipe to put in between? 1 1/2? As I was typing..you answered the question ..thank you.. my next question was about lasers ! WOW! could a laser tape measure be used to make cuts ? Say I needed a 20 inch cut from a 20ft pipe..could a laser be used to custom measure ? Or does the laser measure just shoot a straight line ? One more question..what kind of laser is that ?
@theartofplumbing
@theartofplumbing 5 лет назад
Wow, good question. Yes, you can use the laser as a measuring device, but it can be tricky and hard to explain here. The laser is a great tool, but mostly use for leveling horizontal and vertical. Then I'm using is made by Bosch

Very informative video. Thanks. You seem to have a good system for measuring. Seems like many folks dry fit several pieces and then measure to see how big the last piece has to be. The problem I see with this is most of the fittings I have worked with do NOT seat all the way in (some worse than others) when dry fitted. So, the assembly will be slightly longer than it will eventually be when solvent assembled. How do you deal with this when measuring?

Best method (at least on commercial jobs) is to lay out with pencil/ lasers/ chalk lines on the floor. You can lay out the fittings right on top, factor in the cup of the fitting, and write down your measurements. Then you can cut all your pieces for one area. Layout takes awhile longer initially, but then it goes fast, cause your cuts are more accurate

Have your helper measure the hub of each fitting and tape the line with painters tape to primer and glue beautiful glue joints. It will teach him how to control it. Also have him cut and use cardboard under his joints to keep it off the floor. It won't take him long to learn to be careful. I have to be careful myself not to be sloppy when I'm doing it.

I don't know if you answer questions, but if you do, here's mine. My son lives in Phoenix and because of his expanding family, I'm going to help him build an addition on the back of his house. NO BASEMENT. The addition will have a bath room and I'm thinking of either a wall mount or floor mount toilet, that will go outside, and dump into a grinder-sump pump. There will also be a wash basin and tub, dumping into the same sanitary sump pump. The waste will then get pumped (outside) (2" PVC) and into the laundry room and connect into the 2" behind the washer. What do you or others think of this plan?
@theartofplumbing
@theartofplumbing 5 лет назад
First of all. That is very clever, it sounds like you plane this out well. but I would make sure your bath is vented as well as the sump pump. You may know that already. And when tie it into the laundry drain make sure it's below the laundry p-trap.

I think that is a pretty good idea. Just make sure you vent all plumbing fixtures. Sounds like you already know what you're doing. And the vent from the sewer injector should have its own vent. Funny you bring this up. I'm working on a video about am upflush toilet system that may be perfect for what you're doing. It's made by Santiflush. It should be ready in a week or two. I think it's going to be nice and very helpful.
