    Meanwhile, in my world…..go to home center and discover they don’t have all the needed pieces in ABS or PVC, buy many elbow combinations of each, go home, still doesn’t work. Go back to home center, buy more stuff, repeat 4 more times, cut multiple lengths of pipe to make everything fit because the first 3 pieces were too long or too short. Take a break for dinner. Make sure no one uses the sink. Still doesn’t fit. Go back to home center and buy multiple universal kits with the bendy hose.. jury rig everything together , check for leaks, redo do 2 more times because there are leaks, tighten every connection just short of failure, no leaks, stand back and admire a job well done.

      Add in drive 70 miles round trip b/c the local Lowes doesn't have the same plumbing selection that the one in the next town does. Still not sure I have everything I need to make it work. I could order it from them but it won't be here for 5 days unlike the auto parts store which can usually have things for me within 24 hours...

    If this is really for beginners then I would recommend dry fitting everything before glueing a single piece. But a nice video. Well paced and easy to understand.

    • @rayray8687
      @rayray8687 Před rokem +4

      Dry fitting can be difficult on friction-fit joints as they won’t always bottom out until they’re wetted with glue. You’ll probably end up cutting too short for a full fit. Better just to trust your tape.

    Certain portions of plastic pipes are threaded to allow you to tie one segment to the next. This eliminates the need to glue one part to the next which is best avoided if possible. It will make it easier to take apart and reassemble if you need to clean out debris causing the drain to clog.

      Because trap 90 is glued to the trap arm, line clean out is installed for drain cleaning.
