WATCH Correct Way to Run Water Line , Electrical or Pipe through Concrete Wall Foundation!

This video shows you how to properly run water , electrical or other pipe through concrete foundations or concrete block. When running pipe through concrete, make sure to sleeve it with a bigger outside pipe so if you need to run more pipe in the future, you can use the same sleeve and won't need to drill through concrete again. Using polyurethane roof flashing to seal the inside pipe is the best method as it is made for outside, all weather extremes. The UV protection isn't need underground and make sure to wear gloves as it is hard to get off your hands and clothing!

Great video. Gave me a lot of good ideas for the project I'm doing.

Thanks, this was very helpful (including the comments).
For me, I had trouble getting the foam cutouts to size well with the pipe & tubing I used (outer diameters didn't fill the hole well, and inner diameter too close to outer so it was very think and I often only got partial circles).
I ended up using pre-made pipe insulation foam and cut them to size. They're squeezable, so they formed better to size for me. Less work than cutting sized out foam, and cheaper for me too (I bought hole cutters specifically to try this).
I did use a combination of spray foam (in the middle of the hole) and foam insulation on the outer ends. Appreciate the comment about using water resistant spray foam.

Question: i wanna build a room addition on 4 to 6 inch deep concrete slab of pured cement. I really dont wanna run the water and gas pipes or electrical embedded inside the slab cause if they need repair in the future is almost impossible and a mess and costly.
The walls are going to be build of wood framing with drywall inside and stucco outside.
So, is there a way i can run all the lines thru the walls only or maybe make a housing outside, along the the outer wall for the lines that come from the mains to the house and then send the lines from that outer housing, to the inside walls inside the framing?
Cause anyway all lines like water for the shower, sink, toilet etc, will be on the perimeter of the room, so nothing will be needed in the middle of the room.
Except the gas range of the mini kitchen, it will be in the middle of the room. So what do i do with that? Cause really putting the gas line inside the cement floor to get to the middle of the room will not be practical for future repairs..

It depends on where you live. If you live somewhere where it freezes, pipes in outside walls may freeze. You can always run a little crawlspace/pipe run with a false floor to hide all piping. So you would have the concrete under a floor space so would need extra height walls depending on pipe run space you decide on. Truthfully, the electrical would be ok as you would run it inside pvc conduit and you could easily pull new lines . Black gas pipe can be exposed to weather so that wouldn't be a problem also, just don't put it in soil or concrete.

How do you line it up on the inside? I need to go all the way through...

With block , you can count the block and do it that way. If its flat concrete , then use a smaller 1/4" bit as they usually are 10" in length . If you don't have a longer bit, then you will have to make the hole bigger so you can fit the end of hammerdrill into the hole that you created so you can break out the other side.

Must've never heard of a core bit

I wasn't going to pay $80 or more for a bit I would use only once. The vinyl cement can make a jagged hole disappear and that only costs $5.

Spray foam

[@JasonYouTube]

The regular Great Stuff will absorb water but the special Outdoor or Pond ones are closed cell, so they will not absorb water. The regular stuff is like a sponge , can wring out the water it absorbs.

That hydraulic cement is a b%*$h to work with its super runny then thickens up and you might have 2-3 minutes before it's completely hard

[@trenwilco5084]

Thats a pretty good idea. You cant drill thrpugh the foundation or footing can you?

[@JasonYouTube]

You can drill through the concrete block , just use sealant to seal around pipe. Make sure that when it enters your block from the outside it goes at an upward angle. Underground may not help but above ground that will let water drip away from hole. But under the soil , it might not matter . Thanks for watching

@@JasonRUclips I guessing Tren Wilco is reffering to solid concrete floor or wall.
