This channel is the best. Clear and concise, it gives me the confidence to do it. Thanks!
Nicely explained. Thanks for posting🙏
Thanks very much for this.
Great format, just like gregvancon I believe.
Looks good on paper but i’de like to see you get that rigid pipe through three studs. This is where engineers and contractors clash. There should be a minimum 6 month “residency” that engineers need to go through so they can see what works in real life. Just because you can draw it and make it look pretty on a computer screen doesn’t mean it will play out that way in the field.
Go watch our Drainage series playlist and come back. Thanks for your comment.
That's a great point
A couple of couplings will do the trick. It doesn’t have to be one piece. Say 3 smaller pieces will work on 16” centres for the studs.
@thebuildingexpert what if it is a weight-bearing wall?
Just subscribed 👍
Sure. Like a homeowner has an “engineer” on speed dial. Lol
Good job ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks.
Ty a lot
You are welcome.
Once you cut the tee and rotate it 90° how are you connecting the existing drain line back to the tee? Could you use a coupling above and below tee?
Yes you can use couplings.
In California 1-1/2" trap arm can not exceed 3' 6".
Codes are different everywhere. Thanks for your comment.
This is the Uniform Plumbing Code, its in over 14 states, not just California.
@@jmac213stuffhe probably just lives in the one state lol
What if the wall is load bearing?
Drill holes that are barely big enough to get the trap arm through. Also, drill the mininal amount of studs necessary. Key thing is not to cut out more than necessary.
From Boint A do B. Ps thanks for the videos. They are very helpful.
Is there any alternative if the trap arm is much longer, like 25 ft?
You can move the vent connection within 5 feet of the new trap location.
@@repairitdontwreckit4257 Thanks for your reply. Do you mean I could run a 22 ft long horizontal (sloped) pipe from my vent connection and connect a 3 ft long trap arm to that new connection point? If so, in effect I still have a 25 ft long trap arm, just that my connection point has moved. Perhaps this is technically in compliance, but how does it help with possible siphoning out the liquid from the trap and having sewer gases come into your home as shown at 2:35? Perhaps I misunderstood your solution? Moving the vent vertical pipe, or adding a new vent vertical is not feasible.
@@Alex-ge6fo Most of the info here is based on the Ontario Building Code in Canada. The trap arm is the distance measured from the trap to the vent conection. The piece of pipe from the fixture to the trap is called the fixture outlet pipe. Most plumbing codes will allow up to 5 feet from the trap arm to the vent connector. After that the piece of pipe is called a fixture drain which you can run as much pipe as you need as the critical area is between the trap and the vent. If you have an existing vent providing it is the correct size you can connect to it or relocate to it. 1-1/2” drainage pipe should be installed at 1/4” per foot. Generally on 1-1/2” drains you would need clean outs every 21 feet especially for kitchen sinks. There should be no more than 1 pipe diameter of slope between the trap outlet and the vent connection. So a 1-1/2” trap would have no more than 1-1/2” of slope. When connecting the vent to a horizontal drain it should be of the top of the drainage pipe or rolled no more than 45 degrees from the vertical position. This way when water is running through the pipe it doesn’t block the vent for better flow. From memory I’m pretty sure most drains are usually not more than 65% full if sized correctly. If allowed you could use a mechanical vent if allowed. If so purchase a certified vent as the is a difference in quality. It should be accessible for maintenance. Personally I do not like them as they will fail at some point in time. Plumbing is not that hard especially with plastic pipe and fittings. It’s all of the rules to ensure a good working system is the tricky part. If it’s not being inspected you can break the rules a little but the 5 foot rule I wouldn’t. There’s not a lot of very good utube videos out there on plumbing rough in. I hope this helps. Roger
@@repairitdontwreckit4257 Thanks again for taking the time to reply. I am not sure I fully understand, I wish I had a sketch. But basically, my vertical drain/vent line is like 25 ft away from where the new sink and trap will be. Whether there is an intermediate connection point or not, I am still dealing with something like 25 ft to the vertical drain/vent line.Also I need a few elbows in there to get to the vertical drain/vent lines. Perhaps you mean that there is up to a 5 ft long pipe from the trap then that drains down into a longer horizontal pipe that is below it? A couple of questions - if I make my drain line 2" instead of 1.5", wouldn't this greatly reduce the potential for siphoning out the trap? Also, someone mentioned a Drainosaur sump/pump (within 5 ft of the trap) - any comment on that as an alternative?
I'm in Alberta and my application is for a future basement suite below a bungalow. Unfortunately the locations of the existing vertical drains/vents don't work for the best layout of the basement kitchen and bathroom sinks. I can also talk to some plumbers here re: local requirements but any additional insight you can provide is appreciated. Sorry for all the questions. Thanks!
@@Alex-ge6fo I’ll try a sketch and put it on my utube channel. Give me a couple of days to organize it.
Wish this was in English. I don't speak Mexican.
Mexican isn't a language.
Next time I recommend you just keep your ignorant thoughts to yourself.
Spanish, bro. You don't speak Spanish.
