This video gives an excellent summary of codes to keep in mind, which is very helpful for someone like me who is installing a box for the first time. Thanks!
I’m adding a laundry room on the first level of my home. You video is exactly what I needed explaining the codes in detail along with a point-by-point narration. Great job!!
I appreciate your timely response, and it is 2". I must be missing something. Please explain why it would not handle the upstairs washer if it's handling the first floor washer and has for 30+ years.
Awesome video. My daughter has been battling the smell issue for a while now and has took it apart and cleaned everything inside the washer. I tried to tell her about this and this is the video i needed to send to her to see. Thanks
Thank you! Your video was very informative. I'll be installing one of these in the next two weeks. It will be in an existing home so I'll have to cut the existing sheetrock to be able to secure the box and observe how the drain runs. (The sheetrock is textured so I'll cut the "rock" down the middle of a stud and save the pieces to reinstall them),
Great video, love the explanation. One thing I will add is that 3:33 is not true, this is not an S-trap. An S-trap is against code because there is no vent. What you have created is actually a crown vent, and it will not siphon itself empty. I believe these are against code because the water has a tendency to get up into the vent, causing it to clog over time.
If the sanitary tee is horizontal with AAV going up and it goes horizontal in the wall after that where it turns down, does the sanitary tee and P trap still create a crown vent?
@@ivani8511 Depends how close the tee is to the trap. After the vent, the pipe is allowed to go down since air can enter before the section of pipe where a slug of water could form and plug the pipe. A crown vent is created when the vent is too close to the trap; basically, as water leaves the trap, it is travelling upwards and tends to fill the pipe. As flow velocity increases, the water occupies less of the area of the pipe, and an air pocket forms on top of the water. If a tee is too close to the trap where the water is still filling the pipe, it's possible to introduce contaminants into the vent which will plug it over time. This may not apply in all areas, but I have heard that a vent must be at most 5 feet from the trap, and no less than twice the pipe diameter of the trap. I have also heard that anything below the flood level of the fixture using the drain must be plumbed as if it handled water, basically your AAV would have to have a 45-wye combo. But, I have seen many cases where this is not done and a sanitary tee is used instead. Again, likely that only some codes require that.
Excellent video with clear explanation of how all of this works. Question: If the stand pipe is vertical down to the larger drain exiting the house, how would you add a p-trap? Can you run the trap over into the next stud bay, and then using 2 90 deg elbows rout it back to the original stud bay and then down the drain? We have access to the attic so I could run the vent pipe up from the adjacent stud bay. We just bought a house in the country and have horrible sewer smell coming from the washing machine stand pipe.
I really linked your presentation 👌🏻👌🏻 I really appreciate the tips to meet code, pls keep that way of doing videos, you know your stuff 😎😎 Do you happen to have another video with a sink tight together with the washer machine pipe ?
Holy amazing visualization of the code detail and context around pitch and unintended S-trap….brilliant. I am equally impressed with your insight on part nomenclature & design reasoning. Absolutely stellar work.
Having issues getting an air admittance valve to fit into the socket any recommendations? I got the shark bite box like yours and an oaty sure vent valve
I have an IPS Du-All outlet box, and will be installing on an ABS DWV system. I cannot find info on how to plumb the Studor into the box. I am assuming that vent pipe for the Studor will be cemented into the box for the pressure test (like the standpipe). Once the pressure test is done, and I knockout the cap, I believe I need a spigot X FPT adapter, but it seems like the drain socket in the outlet box has a stop inside of it that is smaller diameter than the ID of the 2" drain pipe, which seems like it would make installing a spigot fitting impossible. IPS documentation not the greatest.
@@PlumbingSolutionsLLC You are welcome. I forgot to like & sub. Consider it done. I am assuming the example we see here is a mockup. If were not, it would be a shame to cover up this plumbing art with drywall. Your example of "trunk and branch" pipes as opposed to a whole house "manifold" system would be my preferred method for my "new construction" (or remodel). If you were to build or remodel, what would you install in your home?
Great information. I'm doing a remodel and need to replace the box. Is it code to glue the drain to the box? If so, I cut the drain pipe and use an extension/insert to get the drain back in the proper location?
Oh wow you are right ! The traps I remember were just a "U", things have changed since I was a rough in guy . You prompted a team meeting for us to address this.. Thanks for the catch.. and I didn't build this one of our trainees did.
I'm draining it to the yard, not into the septic system. Do I still have to vent it and fallow the 24/18" code? The drain line will be about 6' from the P trap. Also can I use 1" 1/4 pipe, instead of 1" 1/2 ? Thank you!
I'm moving washer over 6 feet or so in the laundry room. The current setup has no ptrap. It is also located against an outside wall. Can I still drill two holes in the load bearing stud so I can do the vent option you mentioned? And if so, what are those metal deals called that are on the stud? Thank you.
Excellent video. I am working against a finished wall with a drain pipe going in the wall horizontal. P trap and AAV are outside the wall. Much like kitchen sink. In opinion 2 if the AAV goes down with a horizontal sanitary tee, do I still have to leave 2x diameter between the P trap and sanitary tee as there is horizontal drain after the vent. Hope I explained it well .
Im in a trailer and could go through the roof if needed, but to divert having to cut the roof could I go through the side of the wall outside of the wall?
Can i put a Tee to the standpipe and connect it to a new Utility sink. Since i dont have a separate rough-in for the Utility sink in laundry room, I was planning to put a 'Tee' on the existing Standpipe for the washing machine and connect the P-trap of Utility sink to the Standpipe with a 'Tee'. Are there any specific height where i should put the Tee on the Standpipe? Let me know your thoughts. If there any any videos for this let me know too. Thanks,
Great Video! Thank you so much. Would you have a rough idea of about what it would cost me to pay someone to do this for me? How much would a plumber charge to install the box and hook up to existing drain and water connections? I know there's a lot of things to consider, but just a round about figure. Thanks
It depends on a lot. Like you location prices very. how much pipe is needed . are you going to cut sheet rock? now if you have hot and cold water lines and a drain pipe already there adding a box isn't bad . but if there isn't you have to get it there and that can cost you.
Thank you for this very informative video, I strive to keep everything tight and functional. Would you have the brand of the box and vent, having trouble finding the double drain set up with valves, hammer arresters. Found a few, but looking at pics they don’t seem to have enough room for the head of the vent. Thanks!

Thanks brother. I’m a carpenter trying to plumb mom’s house. 😅
Excellent video. Thanks!
Thanks for being direct and to the point. Very easy to understand the way you present.
Did anyone notice the drainage fittings on the Air Admittance Valve? Excellent content.
Finally found a video where everything is explained thoroughly. Thank you!
Thank you
Not everything. I dont recall him mentioning how far off the floor the box should be.
Thank you for the detailed explanation, especially the code requirement portion. Excellent video!
This video gives an excellent summary of codes to keep in mind, which is very helpful for someone like me who is installing a box for the first time. Thanks!
Great job!!! Exactly the help I was looking for because I'm getting ready to install one with a Studor vent. Thank you!!!
Great presentation! Well explained. Favorite line: "you start gettin' stink and stuff up in your house".

Thanks for showing the stud shoes. I wasn't sure how to support a 2x4 with a 2" drain pipe going through it.
Awesome video. My daughter has been battling the smell issue for a while now and has took it apart and cleaned everything inside the washer. I tried to tell her about this and this is the video i needed to send to her to see. Thanks
Great video. Really like how you explained everything in detail. Best explanation on CZcams!
Great video, very informative, direct and to the point
Thank you for explaining the correct way now I know why my smells at times
Excellent video! You literally covering everything! Thanks!
Now I learned how to vent my washer/garage combo. Thank you!
Nice clear explanation. Wasn’t quite sure how to vent the box so I appreciate the help.
Excellent video. Thank you for explaining it clear and to the point.
Best presentation on this topic I've seen. Thanks!
I did the second option, and did the EXACT set up just in 1½ inch pex (I'm in a 70ft trailer)... You saved me... Thank you 😎🙏
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE WHIT US. HI FROM MEXICO.
Great video, thanks for taking the time.
Excellent video. Thanks for the info!
Very good video explaining 2 options...... thank you!
Super informative video! Great stuff!
Thanks. I'm about to tackle a washing machine/dryer relocate. This helps immensely.
Very very helpful. Thanks for posting.
Most informative video on washing machine draining on youtube. awesome job. Thanks..
Tu explicación es clara y perfecta .. gracias
Thank you keifer Sutherland for this great video. Easy to follow along when its time to do mine. 👍🏽
lol ... thanks
Amazing video... Through and through.. Very thorough....

Great info!! Well done.
Thank you for sharing .This is what i needed to see and know .
Good job! Your information about the minimum distance between the trap and the standpipe is missing in most videos that I have seen.
i wish i had worked with you when i was a kid. great teacher
Love your vids! Thank you!
Great side notes, but still on track with everything leading up to the main topic. Enjoyed , liked, and subscribed!

What a great explanation! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Super legit with the code cited - thanks man 👍🏻
Excellent Video
Great job 👍🏾
Super helpful, thank you.
Man, what a great lesson!!!

I did too. I took the drain hose out, slowly poured water into it, and no smell. Your p trap dried out.
I really linked your presentation 👌🏻👌🏻
I really appreciate the tips to meet code, pls keep that way of doing videos, you know your stuff 😎😎
Do you happen to have another video with a sink tight together with the washer machine pipe ?
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing on CZcams

Tks man, this was very informative.
Hands down, best video on youtube. This is a "real" Pro sharing knowledge. Adhere to the Code. It is in place to save lives.
Wow, thanks!

Great great video! Best and detailed video I seen in a long time, you got a new sub!
Good information! BTW, which box do you recommend please? The boxes in HD/LOWES got terrible reviews. Thanks!
Very nice video i love it
Nice video. The p trap is backwards though.
Oh wow you are right ! The traps I remember were just a "U", things have changed since I was a rough in guy . You prompted a team meeting for us to address this.. Thanks for the catch.. and I didn't build this one of our trainees did.

Hi there. You may have replied to the wrong guy. I actually complemented and thanked you for a great video.
Great!
thanks bro!
Wish my Plumbing teacher back in the day was as easy to understand as you
Excellent video.
I am working against a finished wall with a drain pipe going in the wall horizontal.
P trap and AAV are outside the wall. Much like kitchen sink.
In opinion 2 if the AAV goes down with a horizontal sanitary tee, do I still have to leave 2x diameter between the P trap and sanitary tee as there is horizontal drain after the vent.
Hope I explained it well .
Yes
Thank You!
Kick ass video dude seriously
Thanks
Would a modern anti-siphon serves the same purpose as the p trap?
Im in a trailer and could go through the roof if needed, but to divert having to cut the roof could I go through the side of the wall outside of the wall?
Another question... can this be installed in current construction. Installing a washing machine into a laundry room without a drain.
thats a good job,, bro,,,,
Can i put a Tee to the standpipe and connect it to a new Utility sink. Since i dont have a separate rough-in for the Utility sink in laundry room, I was planning to put a 'Tee' on the existing Standpipe for the washing machine and connect the P-trap of Utility sink to the Standpipe with a 'Tee'. Are there any specific height where i should put the Tee on the Standpipe? Let me know your thoughts. If there any any videos for this let me know too. Thanks,
Does the Air admittance valve need to be at least as high as the drain opening?
In other words, i have a studdar vent below the sink...Thank You!!
reading those quotes from codes it looks like maximum standpipe for a washing machine does not follow the 24 inch limit it goes 18 to 42
Very good video
