Saved me a lot time. Thanks!!!!!

I have never seen cleanout plugs like that, they don't look very secure and I see why they got discontinued.

I have a question for you l have some abs fittings that has lines on them and they're not seams or cracks but its on the inside of the fitting too. What causes this?

Thanks man! I really appreciate how simple and straightforward your explanation was

Good idea. I have a bunch of them Genova pvc fittings. Restore shrunk the inventory and different plumbing materials to their plumbing section in January and it s not the same store it used to be.

see through p-trap, clever! good info

A lot of twisting

I know this is for demonstration purposes only, but depending on your local codes, I think that trap arm has to be a minimum of 12” from the drain stack. It is important to mention, if cut any sorter, you can turn that p-trap into an s-trap, sucking the water in the p-trap out and preventing it from doing its job.

For smaller diameter pipe you can also get compression fittings which allow you to use any type of plastic including polypropylene which is best for if you have outdoors sections of pipe. At least where I live you can them.

P traps aren't supposed to be glued

In Europe that grey pipe is simply plumbed in and never seen

Very good job very nice work! Love the 1/2” brass street 45s. Keep up the good work with the great plumbing videos Jack really enjoy them 🙂

My swimming pool has a 1 1/2 return line and I bought an aerator that is for a 2" return. Is there a fitting I can use to connect the aerator to the return on the wall of the pool.

Thanks.

Great and short video, straight to the point and explanation.

I was watching the video with the vintage 1970s gsr pvc fittings tomorrow potentially buying 2x1-1/2x1-1/2 gsr pvc wye and a 3 inch gsr PVC double wye . Love the vintage pvc fittings from the 70s and 80s a lot better pvc dwv fittings were tons better then.

Nice video, I see way too many people just put the nut on the galvanized pipe.

I have seen recently that a lot of ball valves do not have the packing nut, I guess those are not repairable.

I have made them out of a pvc trap adapter and a street female adapter but it s not the best way to do it when connecting to metal male threads.

U were a life saver this morning, thank you. I knew i could do this. 😊

Is this less likely to Leak? I have a connection the other way, with the female piece being female, and I have small dip. Will making the connection this way provide a matter seat between the metal to plastic?

Stupid

Actually having your washer drain into a 2ft tall pipe is building code. That's how it's ment to be even if you also use a washing machine funnel at the top

I never knew this was possible 😊

Just wanted to say thanks! And want to know why don't you like the red onesM

good video

I'm not sure on the 90⁰ 2" and 3" elbows to use long radius or not. If I have a 2" horizontal transitioning up, or vertical, to be a drain for vanity or kitchen sink, is regular 90⁰ okay, or needs to be long sweep?

Is that a T or a Wye that is the intersection of the AAV / waste line and the P trap ?

I actually figured this out and did it today on a new install before seeing your video or anyone else showing this solution. I'm a little concerned that the dishwasher diverter partially blocks the drain line for the second sink. I hope it works in the long run. An alternative would be to use a plain T but then you'd need a piece for the dishwasher drain hose that fits on the end of the tee and I'm not sure that exists.

Love your videos! Straight to the point! You seem very knowledgeable and interested in plumbing codes and history. I shop Menards all the time, are you also in the Midwest? I hope you have a great boss that sees your potential. Keep doing what you're doing!

Do not use caulk, use silicone. It’s flexible and comes off easily. Waterproof and dry in 30 minutes.

We did this frequently in ND for apartment with an island kitchen. In MN we did loop vents. If MN allowed it we would probably only do combination waste and vents.

I think the inner diameter is 1 and 3/4 inch and not 2.

Great video, you got some plumbing skills, thanks for the content I was wondering this very thing. What is the torch you are using there?

Hey- GREAT videos. You do an excellent job of breaking things down, now subscribed to your channel. I saw you had a video on "closet bends" - but comments were turned off, so I came here. You did a good job of describing them - I was just curious, what is the benefit of a closet bend vs a regular long sweep 90 4x3? Is the advantage of a closet bend just so it can fit in smaller spaces? Is there any "drainage advantage" to it over a long sweep 90? I'm putting in a toilet and I realize probably both work, but also fascinated by the "why." If I have all the space in the world, wouldn't a long sweep 90 be better since there is a more gradual bend? Thanks again - great channel!

Saved my day!

Nicely demonstrated

My saddle valve is leaking when I try to shut it down… sucks.

Do these apply for storm drain too? I have seen many storm drains with vertical combinations, and I have tell the plumbers but they said it doesn’t apply to storm drains.

Nice work Jack. I would have added a clean out tee on the washer vent under the wye for future service.

Very nice work! However, I'm just wondering why you used compression fittings if your faucet already has unions? I would have just screwed a male adapter into the faucet and used two solder 45 elbows and a solder coupling.

Thank you for recording and posting this valuable educational video.

Thanks. Helpful video.

How much psi can this hold I need this for an air tank

I used a sanity y when I tied my washer drain into my laundry sinks drain. Thinking about the flow now a 90 would've made way more sense, but I haven't had any issues in the last two years

Can the galvanize be replaced with PVC.

Our house doesn’t even have a utility sink for the laundry room. We literally *have* to use the standpipe. Unfortunately, being both cast iron and very close to 50 years old, it’s very near the rated end of life (and we have had problems in the past). Even more unfortunately, the underground drain lines are also near-EOL cast iron (and the trap for the washer is underground), so replacement would require redoing some of the foundation. Another problem with permanently attaching the drain hose is that those come with the washing machine. You’re going to need to do some deinstallation, either on that end or the other end (on both your new and old machine) when it inevitably dies.

Double wye can be used upright, I believe. Just not if you need venting. Am I wrong?

The P trap direction is backwards no?

How can I remove a fitting from ABS that is 10 years old
