- Plumbing Pressure Test & Rough-In Inspection | Off Grid Homestead Build Ep21 | The ShabinLife
Hey Everyone,
Hope all is well... It has been a little while since the last video as I've been dealing with a few health issues. I'm happy to say that I'm getting better and hopefully headed in the right direction... blah, blah, blah. This video was difficult to edit as there was a lot of info I wanted to include regarding the testing of the DWV & Water Lines... Tried to narrow it down to a half hour so I didn't bore you (without leaving out important clips, lol). Hope you enjoy... I believe I will be shifting gears a little bit regarding the channel as a whole. Would like to include a bit more of us simply living our life (which inlcudes a lot more than simply building a house) as well as keep the videos a bit shorter. Have fun and enjoy!!

Welcome to the ShabinLife channel here on RUclips!
We’re Dayna & David and we're excited to share our homestead journey with you. We currently own a home on a 1/4 acre in a suburb of Pennsylvania & have been trying to maximize usage of our small plot to it’s fullest potential. In 2016, after dreaming for years of owning enough land to live a more simple and sustainable, self sufficient lifestyle, we acquired 18 Acres & began the journey of building our future homestead! Our land is quite far from where we currently reside which limits our trips to the property to once a month or so. For the time being we post new videos (or at least try, lol) once a month with updates on how things are moving forward, our pits and peaks as well as sharing all the priceless info we’ve learned from the amazing channels we subscribe to here on RUclips. Please join us on our ShabinLife adventure as we continue Living Simple & Loving Nature.

After having a couple of headaches with having to redo screw-in/on fittings, I learned the true value of union fittings. They may be somewhat expensive at first but down the road they are worth their weight in gold if any problems arise. Just a helpful tip to save future headaches.
Dude this is epic. I’m literally in the middle of plumbing my own home, first time, trying to build an A frame house and pass inspections!
Great video!! Really helped me get ready for pressure test and inspection on DWV and water lines THANK YOU for making this video!!! 👍🏼
Love your honesty I will be taking back to Lowes after finished also LOL
Nice work!!!
Congratulations 👍
Great video ! Thanks for sharing
Dude great job I would’ve just stubbed out pex for your stops instead of copper to save you in the long run
Thanks for the help! You will pass 1,000 no problem.
Thanks 😊
Nice work.I’m about to test the plumbing for my addition the same way which has 2 bathrooms. We were going to water test it but temps are going into the 30s and I can’t risk it freezing.
Glad your back and ok. Congratulations your hard work paid off. Onwards and up x
Nice work sir I really need to know all of that sir I hope I'll be employed as an apprentices of your company
You should always check for leaks on a guage of maximum twice the testing pressure. Such as a 10# guage for 5. 15# for 8 etc.
Great video. I just wonder why you have a little space between the king stud beside and to the right of the door. Maybe it's to keep framing exactly 16" o/c but in this case, I think I'd a just done a double king as to insulate that little space just a pain to do guess ya foam it or stuff fiberglass in it. I'm just finishing a build ICF to trusses and it's my 1st after doing several basements only in ICF and love it only way I'll build from now on. Insulation is done sheathing, vapor barrier, etc all after concrete pour is done. ICF eliminates several steps in a build let alone energy efficiency benefits and with the cost of all the materials that need to be bought in a conventional build is faster and cheaper and better when all is said and done in my opinion. Please your great videos coming.
Hard to see because you have the wrong gauge! Also, never more the 5 psi on pvc...it will blow up in your face.
Nice work, but you should never pressure test with air. Even 10 psi would be a cannon if there was a crack in the pipe somewhere. Cap the stub outs with rubber caps and fill from above. 10’ of head is 4.3 psi.
40psi? I'm on a well and water pressure is maxed at 65psi. When testing here I think it needs to be tested at 80psi.
Why not use fernco rubber quick caps save money
Why are you going counter clockwise wrapping the Teflon tape?
