    Phil is hilarious. He has a great sense of humor. Two years ago my wife and I had a house built in PA. Our plumber was a bit rough around the edges but super kind and jolly. His son worked for him off and on. He (the son) took the time to explain the pros and cons of tank/tankless water heaters, recovery time, how quickly the hot water would reach each faucet, etc. Toward the end of the project (it was Christmas time) the son took his own life. My project was one of the last big ones Tom the plumber got to work on with his son. Not sure why I felt compelled to share all that. I think about how he had to finish my project without his son and the fragility of life regardless of ones social stature. These guys usually don't like to be called artists...but they are. I admire any tradesperson that takes the time to fine-tune their craft.

    I hope one day to be as good as he is! I’m a residential plumber, and fix drain plumbing every now and then, I’ll tell you this definitely harder then it looks. Being able to have the vision, I’d rather do potable water instead re-pipes. Started the the plumbing trade @ 30 now 35, my only regret is not starting at a younger age, but in my early 20’s the opportunity never presented itself. I prayed and prayed in my last years of my 20’s at 29 to get the opportunity, and my prayer was answered. Thank you father God. Plumbing has change my life how I feel about myself, I’m achieving a skill, providing for my family, and love what I do!!!

    Side note: Peanut shells on the floor. Our old local farm and home supply store would have a "Peanut Days" sale for a few weeks every year for customer appreciation. but the real reason they did it was that oils in the shells of the peanut would soak into the concrete floor and the shells were a mild abrasive so every nights when the stocks swept up for 2 weeks they were oiling/sealing and polishing the floor cheaper thatn they could hire a crew to come do the floor for them. And they sold a ton of merchadise cause FREE PEANUTS

When I asked how much I was going to owe him he said I had a welder and he needed some fabrication work.

    Here in the Netherlands we use pvc glue on waste pipes, just like Phil (just that pipe is grey and glue is transparent).
    Primer is used when glueing up PVC in high pressure systems (up to 8 or 10 bar), like water supplies in barns, gardens or greenhouses, where you don't need copper or PE(X) to maintain drinkwater quality.
    You also are supposed to not apply the glue in a circular motion and stick the pipe just straight in the fitting, no big turns allowedWhat that does or doesn't do to the glueing up proces to make it withstand pressure better i never understood, but my colleague who thaught me to do so was clear enough about it that i will never forget ;)

    when using a right angle drill it is safer to have your LEFT hand on the trigger. If the drill jerks it will move away from you, and pull your hand off the trigger. I had one hit me on the side of my head. 4 broken face bones, The doctor said he had my eyeball out to see if any bones were poking my eyeball before he put me back together.

    One of the most important things said is knowing your local codes. And even though I'm an NYC licensed contractor and building maintenance superintendent, with all of the construction, tradesmen and DIY videos, I never had my to cents because what is code in NYC may not be code in other counties of my state so it sure isn't the same across the nation. I view to see if there are situations that I tackled one way and do a face palm when I see a big time saver. So unless you guys are local, just sit back relax and enjoy.

    This guy is great, a rare breed. Love his sense of humor and how humble he is knowing he is clearly very knowledgeable. I think everyone would benefit for working and spending some time with someone like Phil for at least one job in their life. Wastewater plumbing and vent with PVC is an incredibly easy thing to do mechanically, with putting it together, but very complex in laying it out, using the correct fittings (in the proper direction!) and all of the nuances that come with the work, typical of a lot of the trades. I have a great appreciation for the 'puzzle' you described. Like most trades it's all in the experience, setup, and planning, gluing it all together is the easy part, of course if you get it right! Thanks for sharing!

  • @Vrplumber
    @Vrplumber 3 года назад +12

    As pertaining to the crookedness of the 3" waste stack, they do make fittings for offsetting small amounts, 22.5 degree bends and 11.25 degree bends, for example. Not to say that bending the stack will create problems in this instance, but fitting solutions do exist for these situations.
    For instance, using a street 3" 22.5 degree fitting glued into a regular 3" 22.5 can create an offset in the stack of less than one inch.
    This may not be applicable to residential plumbing as much, but when you are running waste and vent stacks for multi-story hotels or apartment buildings, it is important that the pipe be as plumb as possible to give the maximum amount of room for other mechanical systems, such as HVAC ducts.
    Also, the closer a stack is to plumb, and the closer a branch is to 90 or 45 degrees coming off of the stack, the easier it is to figure out plumbing layout using mathematical formulas, such as the formula for a 45 degree offset. If you know the center to center measurement of your offset, you can multiply that by 1.414, subtract the offset fitting, and be left with the exact pipe length that needs to be cut.

    • @choimdachoim9491

      One of my co-workers was using a drill like that with a large diameter bit and was really leaning into it with his shoulder, bcz the bit was kinda dull. Predictably, the drill bound up, twisted around and cracked him right across the nose. Broke his nose and gave him a perfect set of dual black-eyes. He was definitely the brunt of many jokes for weeks after that.

    I was blessed to moved into my house 35 years ago. Mortgage is paid off. And, it needed very little maintenance.
    However, watching RUclips videos on Pex, the new transversal from copper plumbing to Pex plumbing has taken the plumbing world by storm. I’m watching every video I could find. I’m finding it fascinating.
    I went out and bought a few tools at Harbor freight’s the other day and I’m ready to start some new plumbing projects.
    But, this guy here in the video is a genuine wonderful guy and plumber. I didn’t think I would sit through his entire video but I’m glad I did. I learned so much from him.
    He’s a gem in America’s pocket. I hope he’s rewarded handsomely for all the professional work he had done in the past, present and into the future.
