Thank you
Many thanks!
One of the most informative videos I've found so far, thank you for your work!
Wow, thank you!
Thank you for all your videos. I do all my own work whether wood, electrical, or plumbing. Your videos are to the point and understandable.
Wow, thank you!
Great video, love the graphics. adding a garage sink to plumbing from bath on oposite wall.
Sounds great and thanks for letting us know!
I'm going to do the same! Good luck!
@@86KEM just finished my garage sink, things went very smoothly, good luck with your project.
Thank you for this video! I needed more vocabulary to explain what I need for my salon! Many keep telling me I need to break concrete but that would blow my budget… some said I could simply do the “wet vent” thing from the existing plumbing in the restroom to connect my shampoo bowls. I appreciate this video a lot!!!
You're welcome and if there was a question in there, feel free to ask again.
This video is so informative. I enjoyed watching it. I’m also planning on adding a wet bar sink and will use this method. 😊
Wonderful!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Dr Jordan Peterson got into architecture. Sweet.
Exactly.
Thank you very much Greg. I noticed all your videos on plumbing assume wooden frame walls. What is the approach when the walls are made of concrete blocks eg: hollow vs solid?
awesome. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Hello, I’m adding a utility sink in my basement. There is a 3” vertical pipe with a clean out in it. This goes down through the concrete floor and up through the ceiling upstairs in my ranch home. So basically your exact example.
I don’t know that I’ll be able to move this pipe once cut so I bought two repair couplings with the smooth inside. Will I be able to add my 3” to 1.5” wye with these repair couplings and regular purple and clear primer and cement? Thank you!!
Thank you very much
You are welcome
Awesome video! Very helpful!
Glad to hear it!
Nice. 😃😃😃
Thanks 😊
Hello, thanks for the informative video. So can you wet vent a shower vent and add a washer drain to it?
very nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi, would I be able to add a sanitary tee to a washer machine standpipe? I would like to to install a utility sink.
I have the same question. 🤔🤷♀
@@SheilaSpencer1 I eventually did install my utility sink. It worked just fine.
@@cortez39540 did you take any pics of it? Would like to see what it looks like. Hoping I can do the same thing. 🙏
I didn’t take any. Sorry
Yup im subbing great channel ..well made sir.
Much appreciated!
Thank you for the video. I would like to install a laundry sink in my basement and I have 2 pipes, a short pipe coming up from the floor which we use for the clothes washer and a floor to ceiling pipe coming down from the kitchen sink above. Can you please help me and tell me which pipe we connect the laundry sink to? I send you a picture if you'd like.
Can you use this same method to remove a toilet and convert the plumbing for a washing machine?
I would think so, just make sure you install a trap. The toilet has a trap inside of it, but when you remove the toilet, you will no longer have that trap.
Very helpful sir
Glad to hear that
Hello & thank you for your videos! I recently saw an older video, "How exterior wall stucco can absorb moisture from soil..." & am wondering...I am redoing a planter in front of my house & the soil is against the exterior wall stucco. I would like to protect the wall stucco from water in the soil & am considering adding either a 2" layer of cement to the wall and/or 2 coats of liquid rubber. What do you recommend? Thank you!
I don't like that idea. You need something that will waterproof the area or a row of bricks or blocks that will separate the planter from the stucco with some type of air gap and drainage. Email me a picture of the area.
Your videos ARE awesome. I’m trying to finish out a basement. There is a 4” drain line coming down from upstairs. Can I tie into that drainline to add a wet bar sink?
I don't see why not, but the sink might need a separate vent going up past the highest fixture like 6 inches above your upstairs sink. Check with local plumbers or building department to make sure.
Thank you! Awesome video. I'm going to go take some measurements and see if I'm beyond my 3 1/2 foot limit. Is that a local building code and where might I find it for Kansas City?
Contact your local building department, "Building and Safety for Kansas City" might work in a search engine.
I have mutltiple connections to my wet vent and they did not leave much room between clean out and the floor. I tried connecting my sink drain to a trunk line running off of the wet vent but it doesn't drain well. Would it be OK to drill and tap a 1-1/2" male adapter into the 3" wet vent to get the sink drain line lower than the trunk line coming in so that it will drain faster?
You will need to use approved fittings to meet most building codes and avoid making your own. The drain will need to be low enough also to drain, if that's what you're asking.
Do the top of the vents need to always be straight or can it turn, how much turning, and can I tie more than one vent together so I only get one exit. Can I exit the house sideways instead of through the roof ?
I've never seen a vent go out the side of a house that didn't go through the roof and I would think you could reverse engineer this to rotate it in different directions.
At the end of the video the sink is basically right next to the left vent, can you just split off that with a double sanitary tee ?
You might need two separate santees, one for each sink drain and I've never seen a vent come out the side of a building without going up through the roof.
Hi! What will happen if i go beyond 3.5ft distance from that sanitary tee on the vent, what problems may it cost? thanks & cheers!
It won't be the end of the world and I will be making a video on it in the future. It basically has something to do with the possibility of water creating a suction while draining to pull water out of near by traps.
Would I have been able to the same with the pipe to the left of your drawing?
Right, left, backward, forwards and at a variety of different angles. The key thing to understand with this design are your plumbing codes.
hello! i love your vids!
im doing my house by myself and really helped alot,
i have a question, due to the high rise in wood prices (at least in my country) i have no longer acces to yellow pine. im planning to use elliotis pine,
can you tell me if this is possible as it is not strong as the yellow pine?
thank you!
I would check with your local lumber yard. Keep in mind that lumber needs a grade stamp for home building.
@@gregvancom thank you very much!! i will
Hello new subscriber here. For the last setup you have for the sink drain is it a 1/4in per foot drop from the first right angle fitting?
The drain pipe should slope the entire length of the pipe.
You said to use a rubber coupling if there was a small gap in the vent, but wouldn't it be better to use a pvc coupling (or 2 if necessary).
Sometimes it's easier to use rubber coupling that can be positioned after gluing lower or upper fittings together.
The vent pipe you tap the new sink to is a dry vent, cannot be a wet vent, right?
You can modify some dry vents, but it will still depend on the drain line design as to whether or not it can become a wet vent.
@@gregvancom Sorry for the confusion. What I want to ask is if I can tap the new sink to a wet vent?
💎
do you have any videos on tub plumbing?
Not yet, but it's on my list.
Been looking at a Cleanout plug on side of my house next by a Shed. I will be cutting Stucco soon to add small Slop sink.
Large vanity on inside double sink will allow hot and cold to be punched through to outside sink.
Phoenix desert 🏜 Do you think minor Freeze precautions like an inside shut-off valves enough?
I would check with your local building department, but if you aren't then it wouldn't be a bad idea to take every precautions you can.
