Shannon, I want to thank you for your videos. I bought a fixer-Upper north of Montreal and I have been able to do a lot of the work myself, thanks to your videos - such complete, well-explained videos - so grateful for your invaluable assistance - you are a true Canadian - modest, hard-working and conscientious - you are making a difference!
Your videos are so informative articulated clear explanation distraction free and your voice is calm .If you open a school you ll have lots of enrollement .
I also recommend glueing/cementing both the pipe and the fitting for guaranteed seal and if you're feeling extra, even rough up both prior to cement with sandpaper.
Shannon, just FYI, I read on the ABS cement can instructions that the application procedure consists of 3 steps. 1) Apply liberal coat of cement to pipe to the depth of the socket, leave no uncoated surface. 2) Apply a thin coat of cement to inside of fitting, avoid puddling of cement. Puddling can cause weakening and premature failure of pipe or fitting. 3) Apply a second coat of cement to the pipe. Then you insert the pipe as you had shown. This is what it says on the can of the Oatley Solvent Cements for ABS pipe glue.
Even 10 years on....relevant...thanks for the video...great tips...now I feel so much more confident with Kitchen sink install...( not sure you're still you tubing....anyways Thanks)
Many levels have two black lines around the bubble. If you are using one of those levels, the outer line indicates a 2° slope up toward the side the bubble is touching. No need to rig anything up if you have one of those.
that depends a little on how far from the sink you will be. At the sink the 1-1/2 pipe should come out of the wall at 18" to center from the floor. Your horizontal pipe from that point to the main stack should be sloped at 1/4" per foot ,so from that you can figure out the height of the fitting you need to cut into the main stack.
1) You're not holding the pieces in when you first join them. You ABSOLUTELY have to hold them together since the solvent generates heat to solvent weld the pieces together. That heat naturally pushes the pieces apart, and that's why you MUST hold them together until they cool down (about 30 seconds). 2) Why didn't you first put the bushing on the 1 1/2" pipe and then put that into the stud opening?
Thank you for great details. One question. for the 4 feet section slope. We need 1 inch rise and the angle created by 1 inch height goes in to receptacles on either end with ceratin angel and will this cause an improper fit or glue stength? Or how much angle can be tolerated without an extra slopiing fitting connection?
@@HouseImprovements thank you! I’m trying to do this as well. Currently have a sanitary ty with a side hub for the future vanity and a vent. I would also like to add washing machine so go with a double ty like you have shown and ensure ur washing machine plumbing is 2 inch and sink 1.5 inches? I’m in manitoba
I've never seen a ptrap with that little opening on the bottom. I like the valve enclosure too. Maybe add some amazon affiliate links for us for the equipment you're using...
what about a clean out option How do you avoid damaging the threads in the cleanout where the plug goes in when using a power snake to clean the maIN drain ?
Shannon how high off the ground is that double t? I have a roughed in by builder at 20.5 inches. Does that mean I need to cut bring it down to 18** inches I think you said.
Question?? I'm remodeling our bathroom and our waste and vent lines are 4". ( main line to street) The waste will remain 4" but does the vent up need to be 4"? I'm not a plumber , Actually I'm an Electrician and very handy. I try a do as much as a can to learn and save.
Yes you need a p-trap to keep sewer gases from coming back into the home. The trap does not need a clean out, it was the only 2" trap I could get at the time and I actually glued it closed so that it would not maybe start to leak over time.
Hi Shannon, how do I know if need an up flush toilet? My house was built in 2002. I have a well and septic. I have the pipe in the floor for toilet, but some people are telling me I still need a pump. Thank you Mark
Hi HouseImprovements, I have a roughed in bathroom and had waterlines installed. The toilet and sing drains are roughed in a should be ready for install. I'm about to tile to floor and was wondering when/where do I make the cut of the ABS pipe cut for the toilet drain. I have a standard flange and toilet ready to go but not sure where to cut the drain.
Shannon , I have 1 1/2 brass drain line for may washer and sink. I have a small lea that I think it is running down inside my block wall. I think it is a brass pipe, house built in 1962, any way this drain come down from up stair and runs through a cement wall goes down the wall at a 45 on one side then make a turn down with another 45 and then goes down the inside of a small closet about 6' and back though the same wall and goes to a drain on the other side of the same wall to a bar sink. I have noticed water on the floor under the drain line in this closet. I want to know if I cut this copper or brass pipe and go with ABS how do I join these two pipes that are different. Can I use what they call a Fernco that is rubber with two hose clamps or do they make something different to join these two pipes. Thanks for Great videos. Please let me know, I need HELP !
Great video. I am trying to build a bathroom without cutting into the Cement.. I wanted to ask can I cut into the waste pipe and just raise the floor for the toilet. how do I cut into it if I can
another good video Shannon Question ? black abs or white pvc for washing machine drain ? and basement shower piping ? what is the difference and when to use ? currently have black abs for basement plastic sink joining to copper main stack
Well it depends where you live some areas use PVC in most places . Where I am ABS is generally used all through residential buildings but some areas will have different rules.
This type of ABS pipe is recommended for water temp up to 140F. my horizontal section ABS pipe to the waste pipe under the sink is totally destroyed with cracks, water drippings along it when running water from the sink. I think the hot water from pasta cooking and discharged hot water from my dishwasher which is over 140F did the damage over time. Do you know if there are ABS DWV pipes 1 1/2" can handle temperature above 140F and can I cut off the damaged section and replace with that even they are not the same materials. Thanks.
Hi Shannon , need an advise from you. I installed a new kitchen in basement. Some how while cementing ABS pipe I kinda messed up slope on the pipe which connects from P-Tap to drain. Drain pipe has sufficient slope though. But pipe connects from P-Trap to Drain pipe has a slope downwards towards the trap. I ran water through , let the tap running for 10 minutes and water is flowing perfectly fine. Wondering should I leave it as is or fix it ? Please reply. Thanks

I used to use Vent 90's on the trap arm so the hub would be in the wall but the inspectors started calling me on it. And why do you only glue the hub the end of the pipe should be glued also.
+HouseImprovements Not that it happens often but when glue joints have failed its been when only one piece was glued. I guess if your quick enough it shouldn't matter but if the one glued piece begins to skin over your running the risk of not actually fusing the abs but rather just packing it with a sealant. Also I forgot to mention on the vent 90 trap arm when the inspectors started calling on me I started using spigot medium 90's so the spigot end is whats sticking out of the wall and my trap adapter. glues on to that spigot long sweeps if the cabinet had a back panel. And I just want to say these are things that I have been through if your work works and everyone is happy then it was done right no matter how you did it.
Hay Shannon, question for you . I am about to extend my kitchen. Behind the wall close to the kitchen is a laundry. I found the pvc pipe that runs from the floor to the ceiling and two copper pipes hot and cold water. I cut off the pvc pipe on the ceiling and at bottom. Question is, do I have to glue the cup on the part I cut off on the ceiling because that vent pipe runs towards bathroom or should I lieve it open.
it should not be left open but just capping it can trap moisture over time that could freeze and bust the pipe if you live in a cold climate. Re doing the vent so it does not have that dead end drop in the ceiling is a good idea.
Good disposition but the video needs to be redone there are a lot of misleading steps, For example both fitting and pipe needs to be coated with glue and Held for a minimum of 30 seconds. Of all the different types of pipe ABS will want to back out of the fitted more than any other type especially large sized pipes and fittings
Thanks for the video. I watched it and then replaced a 30' run from one side of the house to the other. Home Depot only had the nasty black adhesive, not the fancy yellow stuff you are using. Can you tell us about the yellow stuff, where to get it, how it differs from the black stuff, etc. I had to use solvent to get the black stuff off my hands!
You were probably mistakenly using system15/xfr glue (greyish colour)...abs glue is yellow 100% (there's transition glue for pvc to abs which is white)... i would consider deleting and rebuilding with the proper adhesive (especially if you didn't use a glue mentioned in this comment.)
Why don't you apply the glue on the pipe as well? I'm only an apprentice at the moment, but I've always been told to apply it on both the fitting and pipe.
I never have, I apply lots to the fitting and twist it about 1/4 turn once it is on the pipe to help smear it on the pipe as well. I have many people comment that it should be applied on both and it is likely a good idea.
what size STUDS Shannon ? what size Hole Saw ? Just Ordered the Wrong Hole Saw today From Home Depot Canada for 2" Black ABS ( 2 1/4 " ) i think 2 1/2 - 2 3/4 better
I guess I always am pretty liberal with the amount I apply so never felt the need to have it on both pieces. I always give my pieces a slight twist after joining as well. As some have suggested here it should be on both pieces.
HouseImprovements If you understood what the glue is doing, you would apply to both surfaces. If you attempted this with pressurized pvc, your joints would fail in very little time. If your only going to add glue to one surface you should at least prime both surfaces first
You can just glue up your 90 and pitch it while the glue is still wet. Then you dont have to waste time dry fitting. The 90's pitch stick in the pipe and keep moving.
Why would you use a P-trap with a clean out concealed in the wall on the laundry? Doesn't make sense when you can clean the drain from the opening on top. More problems for leaks in the wall!
The level should have the taped on spacer towards the wall side not the end of the pipe to angle the pipe up. The way you showed it would be sloped downhill.
The 1/8" pice of wood on the torpedo level looks like it should be on the other end of the pipe. But then he ended up eyeballing it after going to the trouble of constructing it so it seems it didn't matter for him... Of course you want it to be such that the pipe will be higher at the sink end than the sewer end.
I had to go back and watch the video ,and you are right if the pipe would have been long enough I was holding the level the wrong way. Hopefully if the level would have fit on that pipe I would have caught my mistake. Good eye on seeing that.
HouseImprovements Shannon, you should do a video on how to attach a 1/4" block on a torpedo level in order to get 1/4" fall per foot. I am a DIYer and I'd like to see that.
Rocket Rider You are looking for 1/4" / foot, so on a torpedo level (which is usually only about 8" long) I measured 6" from one end (1/2 a foot) and at that point I used electrical tape to secure a 1/8" piece of wood because of only going 6" long. I leave that taped on permanently ..
HouseImprovements OK, I found something in the kitchen that is 1/4" high. I put a 12" ruler on it to get a slope of 1/4" then I put my torpedo level on top of the sloped ruler and noted the place where the bubble rested. I marked it with a black marker. That way I don't need to tape anything to the level itself.
Anyone else notice he was trying to put the raised end of the level on the wrong side? The slope would have been down with the raised block on the stub end. I mean, the pipe was still too short for it to work right, and I'm sure he would have noticed had he continued and did it for real. But I just thought it was kind of amusing.
just my opinion...but... i would only use a double t wye when connecting 2 lavs ,, , washer drains a lot of water so guess where most that water going to go...yep ..the lav trap arm .. i would use 2 in t-wye for washer and 2 by 1 1/2 by 1 1/2 for lav on top ., just saying this to help
wow, so many things you do are wrong, go to plumbing school if your going to teach people.... 1, you should always ream & chamfer your pipes...... 1 year stuff bud...I could go on.... put on some pants too.
Wrong glue, glue is required on both fitting and pipe, a good inspector will catch this along with you can not cover a trap in the wall that has a trap clean out on it. Online inspection...not approved.
This is way off base. First off, crosses aren't to code. 2" trap arm? Why? NEVER DRY FIT You'll end up forgetting to glue one. It will come back and bite you.Plus.. what a waste of time. Hey! Rough in distance from floor to centerline of k/s drain? Sort of important. **18"** Same for vanity sink. If it's too high on a k/s, you may not be able to hook up a g/d or a 2 compartment sink. 2" p-trap for w/m. riser no less than 18" , no more than 30". Why a clean out on the p-trap in a wall? Silly and a potential leak. Always apply glue to both spigot and socket, twist as you insert and hold briefly(the pipe can back out when first installed) wipe off excess glue.I shouldn't watch these.Too painful

@Michael A they were commenting on his demonstration of only 1 coat per fitting and pipe. Hard to watch as a plumber. 😂😪

very good video and teacher, it is easy for everyone to understand
Thanks!
Thank you !
Abs is commonly used here above ground and PVC is used below ground
Actually you are right a strap or two would have been a good idea to help support the horizontal pipe.

1) You're not holding the pieces in when you first join them. You ABSOLUTELY have to hold them together since the solvent generates heat to solvent weld the pieces together. That heat naturally pushes the pieces apart, and that's why you MUST hold them together until they cool down (about 30 seconds). 2) Why didn't you first put the bushing on the 1 1/2" pipe and then put that into the stud opening?

At 14:40 when gluing the ABS pipe to the PVC laundry box, don’t you have to use a transition cement?
You know you make a good point there? You are likely correct I have never thought of that.
I was always told to put the glue on the pipe instead of the fitting so it doesn't push any excess into the pipe cavity. Possible flow reduction?
In reality they recommend glue on both the pipe and the fitting to be sure you have enough glue contact.
This is awesome. Exactly what I am doing. So no need to prime ABS like you do with schedule 40 PVC?
It is better if you put the glue on the fitting and the end of the pipe.

Black abs Pipe or the White STUFF for DRAINS ???

Hi shannon, do the laundry drain needs a vent too?
Not if it's within five feet of the existing vent. Also you could use an AAV if permitted.
AAV = air admittance valve.

Awesome! Now when the electrician goes to put in the box for his over the vanity light, the vent stack will be right in the way! Awesome!
I suppose if this were a bathroom or if the pipe was less then 2" from the face of where the finished wall surface would be it could be a problem.
The 1/8" pice of wood on the torpedo level looks like it should be on the other end of the pipe. But then he ended up eyeballing it after going to the trouble of constructing it so it seems it didn't matter for him... Of course you want it to be such that the pipe will be higher at the sink end than the sewer end.
I had to go back and watch the video ,and you are right if the pipe would have been long enough I was holding the level the wrong way. Hopefully if the level would have fit on that pipe I would have caught my mistake. Good eye on seeing that.
HouseImprovements Shannon, you should do a video on how to attach a 1/4" block on a torpedo level in order to get 1/4" fall per foot. I am a DIYer and I'd like to see that.
Rocket Rider You are looking for 1/4" / foot, so on a torpedo level (which is usually only about 8" long) I measured 6" from one end (1/2 a foot) and at that point I used electrical tape to secure a 1/8" piece of wood because of only going 6" long. I leave that taped on permanently ..
Thanks. I will set up mine too.
HouseImprovements OK, I found something in the kitchen that is 1/4" high. I put a 12" ruler on it to get a slope of 1/4" then I put my torpedo level on top of the sloped ruler and noted the place where the bubble rested. I marked it with a black marker. That way I don't need to tape anything to the level itself.
Do not use a hacksaw/ Zallsaw, ends wont always be even and may leak, also try to get the correct fitting and not use push ins
why abs and not pvc?
I'm thinking he might be in Canada (but I could be wrong).
We cant use that Four piece wye as you call it... Must be a double fixture fitting
You're smart and likable...I wish you lived in California ..so I could fire my jackass contractor!
10:20 Avoid using power saws, since the high speed of the cutting blade can melt the plastic.
that's fine, you can go a bit slower
Anyone else notice he was trying to put the raised end of the level on the wrong side? The slope would have been down with the raised block on the stub end. I mean, the pipe was still too short for it to work right, and I'm sure he would have noticed had he continued and did it for real. But I just thought it was kind of amusing.
just my opinion...but... i would only use a double t wye when connecting 2 lavs ,, , washer drains a lot of water so guess where most that water going to go...yep ..the lav trap arm .. i would use 2 in t-wye for washer and 2 by 1 1/2 by 1 1/2 for lav on top ., just saying this to help
hand saws? lol use a reed quick release tube cutter. what i use for 1" to 4"
Logical and well explained , and slow enough for me being a wanna be dyi-er...thanks...
Umm... X?
wow, so many things you do are wrong, go to plumbing school if your going to teach people.... 1, you should always ream & chamfer your pipes...... 1 year stuff bud...I could go on.... put on some pants too.
Warren warren ~ It's all good bud, put back your paints, sit back and grab a number
the clean out look out side the wall? what thr fuck is that what doyou think about the washing machine ? the foam going in the lavatory bad example
Wrong glue, glue is required on both fitting and pipe, a good inspector will catch this along with you can not cover a trap in the wall that has a trap clean out on it.
Online inspection...not approved.
I just can't Shannon, so little glue on those joints and only in the fittings, leak city lol. Sorry.
Great.:-) :-)
This is way off base. First off, crosses aren't to code. 2" trap arm? Why? NEVER DRY FIT You'll end up forgetting to glue one. It will come back and bite you.Plus.. what a waste of time. Hey! Rough in distance from floor to centerline of k/s drain? Sort of important. **18"** Same for vanity sink. If it's too high on a k/s, you may not be able to hook up a g/d or a 2 compartment sink.
2" p-trap for w/m. riser no less than 18" , no more than 30". Why a clean out on the p-trap in a wall? Silly and a potential leak. Always apply glue to both spigot and socket, twist as you insert and hold briefly(the pipe can back out when first installed) wipe off excess glue.I shouldn't watch these.Too painful
i get high off the ABC Glue
called a cross wye, get a good level omg
