Good question, long sweep 90’s work well but they’re just not as commonly used as a short sweep in my experience. If there is enough space to use it then l would use it especially on a kitchen sink trap arm. They’re not required by code though as far as l know.

Ah yes good question, there was play upwards on the vent pipe coming through the top of the wall, I just messed up and didn’t get the camera set up properly there. Thanks for watching!

@@JENSENDIY thanks for your reply. I'm about to get dirty with a project for my daughter, I'm not a plumber, so I've been watching lots of videos on the subject; yours was very helpful.

Great question! Venting is not only meant to exhaust sewer gases but it also plays a big role in how a fixture drains. A good way to think of it is (air behind water) or if you think of a gas container with closed vent it doesn’t pour well (air locked) open the vent and it pours great because it’s allowing air in.

You could use a studor mechanical vent.

The trap arm,(horizontal pipe in the wall) has 1/4” per foot grade. The pipe stubbed out of the wall is almost level as it makes it much easier to install p-trap assembly later on. It is such a short run it makes no difference in drain function.

Both the abs & pex pipe cutters are made by Ridgid tools. The abs cutter is called a foam core pipe cutter & comes in 1 1/2” or 2”

Depends on where you live.

In Florida we call them " wtf is a hacksaw?" But the homey de pot has a "husky 2" ratcheting pvc cutter"em for like $20 with a lifetime warranty and quick release blade change however I've abused mine and have never needed to change the blade after several years of use on pvc, cpvc, pec and rubber hose. Just about anything but metal or wires (smh coworkers), or it will chip the blade. But usually still works well after your coworker uses it is a wire cutter. But yeah, we use them daily to cut rubber air hose, sandblast hose etc. I love them

Yes, if the trap arm drain needs to turn 90 degrees to exit the wall you can use a 90 instead of two 45’s.

@@konkhmer07 I talk about clean outs from 4:42 - 5:00 min into the video. Thanks for watching!

I did mention that at about 4:40 in but l didn’t have the right size clean out on hand at the time. They are required by code but in my experience especially with sinks it is easier and less mess to undo the trap and auger.

2 1/4” but you could use a 2 9/16”as well.

@@JENSENDIY Thank you!

@@therealSIRBOOM I use pex because l prefer a crimped connection over a compression connection for the valve. I’ve seen many leaks with compression valves so if l were to use copper stub outs l would definitely use a sweat style valve.

A horizontal dry vent has to be six inches above the flood level rim of the sink but there is no horizontal vent in this system. The fixture drain / trap arm drains are the only horizontal dwv pipes.
