IT IS JANUARY 1st, 2022 AND I AM 70 TODAY. I HAVE SEEN A NUMBER OF YOUR YOU-TUBES. JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU THANKS AND THAT YOU ARE GOOD PEOPLE! GOD BLESS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.
I, as a piece rate plumber who's time is money and patience is low, the attention to detail you take to film and explain everything, plus tips and tricks and the patience you show, is amazing. Thanks for your videos!
But hes missing a lot of those details we learn as plumbers. 1. Tys in the wrong direction when he was explaining the venting. 2. Didnt use 1/4 slope for the drain, especially the 2nd sink drain. 3. Using t tape on the ptrap unions and the clean out for the ptrap which is wrong its completely unnecessary.
@@manorhillmusic4285 yeah I could see pipe dope on those threads as a lubricant. I know guys who do this on compression fittings but tape doesn’t really do that. I’ve known plumbers who will tell apprentices to put tape or dope on every thread. The thinking is if they put them on everything then they’ll never choose wrong threads. I don’t like this approach. If an apprentice doesn’t understand which threads seal and which don’t they shouldn’t be working by themselves.

OMG! I just gutted my ensuite bath and was just about to do this exact conversion, from 1 to 2 vanities. Exactly what I needed at exactly the right time. Thanks againJeff !!! BTW, I’m also doing a walk in closet according to your Walk In Closet design video too. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😃

I watched your video a Thousand times and was able to convert to a double sink. I'm proud of myself. Thank you so much, amigo. My pipes are up to code. Jus ask my gf 😮... and all that is left is installing the vanity, but first, I have to put back the drywall. Will be watching your video on that next.
Thank You for this video! Recently removed and replaced double vanity, never realized original plumbing was so f'd up. Followed your video had no problems buried drain and water in wall so didn't have to chop up vanity. So glad I found your channel!
Thank you. Great video and tips. I just bought a house to rehab and going to add another sink shortly. Hope things are getting back to normal up there. I always enjoy your content.
Have learned so much watching your videos and have been able to accomplish most of my home renovation all by myself! You are whizzing through this one. I'm going to have to play it on half speed. Lol Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us that enjoy doing these things but wouldn't know how otherwise. God bless
thank you so much for using or recommending manual and or cheaper tools. Power tools kinda freak me out but that doesn’t mean I can’t DIY! It will just take me longer
I'm not a DIYer but it's very helpful to know how things go together so that when there's trouble and I have to call in a plumber, I can explain the problem better. I have an old house and I can now see how many areas are no longer up to code. Yikes! Well, one problem at a time. Thank you for these very informative videos.
This video was packed so full of info. Thanks for taking the time to do these! I really enjoy your way of teaching and could listen to you explain the differences of drywall screws. Lol.
Thank you SO much for this video (and your perspective on…things). I’m putting in a double vanity where currently no drain or vent lines exist. And I had NO idea how I was going to do it (lots of “stuff” in the way). This video made it crystal clear how to solve it! (Cols OH, U.S.)
I'm about to do this project! Thank you for the tips. Best video out on RUclips. Other vids cut into the cabinet instead and it looks like 💩. Thanks Jeff, someone recommended your channel on Reddit for me a year or so ago, glad I clicked!
I just realized that you sound like Red Green and I love it! I want to change my secondary bath to a double sink for my three daughters. This video will be so helpful!
I love your videos, they are so detailed and well presented, plus all the tips you give along the way. You are my first to go option when looking to do a home repair. Thanks for all the hard work and hours of content you put on for us to get the best out of our projects. Blessings and keep up the good work!! 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻
The original "jack of all trades" quote actually goes even further than he explained. The original quote is from Robert Greene's middle english poem and it goes, "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one." So it can be interpreted 2 ways: either a jack of all trades has exceeded the mastery of his primary trade so he becomes versed in another to try and fulfill his hunger for knowledge OR (this is the classically agreed on conclusion) he is considered more versatile than his specialized peers by the masses. I like both interpretations personally. Fun thought experiment Jeff!
Thanks a TON for this - i have been thinking of how to do this for a while now in our basement bathroom. thanks for going in depth about the 2" vs smaller. i am up against the upstairs bathroom that i think drains past this bathroom. I will definately open the wall up to understand what the dudes did in 1985.
I am sure this will help me some day--in the past I was one of those guys that went to home depot 3x for a simple plumbing fix. :) Thanks for the video!
Don’t do what he did or you’ll be making at least 2 trips because you’ll be reworking it after failing your inspection. If you don’t have an inspection then this way will probably work. The only thing I’d really be concerned about from a practical aspect would be the short 90 he glued into the tee. If you have a vent running flat like that and your drain clogs, debris could easily block off the vent there and you’d have no way to clean it out. That’s sort of what he was talking about with tying the vents in above the sink. He was wrong of course, you can tie your vent in wherever you want. What you can’t do is run a vent flat (in plumbing that means anything between horizontal and 45 deg) below the flood rim of the sink. The reason for this is what I said earlier, you don’t want debris from a stoppage blocking off your vent without a way ti clean it out. It’s extremely difficult to stop up a vertical pipe with debris because of gravity but with a horizontal pipe, gravity works again you. Sorry I get carried away with explanations. If you’re going to do your own plumbing, I’d recommend watch got2learn or Roger Wakefield. Of all the plumbers on RUclips they have the best instructional type videos.
Thank you love your cool videos....ps...don't pay attention to negative comments...if they didn't like your videos, they wouldn't be watching them......🤪🤪🤪love the channel....thumps up all the way 🙋🙋🙋
You have some good tips but you should have used a y instead of a san T. Ys provide better directional flow and sans should not be installed on their side or back.
Absolutely correct. A tee wye combo definitely should have been installed/implemented. A whole host of issues with this installation. Definitely a project he should have left to licensed plumbers.
Can you just hook a Y type of connection for the left and right sink to share the same waste line without opening the backwall and duplicate the original waste and vent line?
Would cutting the studs for the pipe compromise the strength of the wall. Plus I've seen some inspectors fail an inspection for cutting the studs like that.
Yes, notching incorrectly and not in sync with guidelines will compromise structural integrity. Studs should have been bored with appropriate size hole saw.
You’ve given me the courage to tackle on this project. My girls share a single sink, and it’s a battle when it comes time to brush their teeth or wash their hands 😂.
A regular old string line works as well for cutting pvc. A trick for opening a new can of plumbing glue is to take your Leatherman and tap and dent the top corner of the lid
Jeff - I’ve learned so much from you and you have made my Reno-life so much easier. Quick question - have you done a video showing how to consolidate two sinks down to a single sink in the bath? That is my next project!!
LOL "most of my tools end up in the garbage because my kids work with me" I know the feeling. You ask the kids where the tool is and they just look at you like you are crazy.
Great channel Jeff. Been watching for years. Never really liked the way pex would kind of move around under the vanitys and kitchen sink. Recently found on the internet an inexpensive chrome decorative support that slips over the pex and gets screwed to the wall of base cabinet. Basically supports about 3 inches of the pex and covers the hole. Just something i thought you may be interested in.
Dremel has/had a great little circular saw called the Saw Max that could be adjusted to the depth needed. I used it for everything until it was stolen. A lot easier than trying to knife/saw drywall imo.
Is there a concern about deeply notching those three consecutive 2x4 studs? After a 2" deep notch you only have a small cross section of wood left to carry the loads. Would this comply with most building codes? (See at 22:35)
I see that you don't have a video on how to do indoor stair installation, either hardwood, vinyl, or carpet. Want to see you do an A to Z guild. Thanks!
A sanitary tee is not allowed in horizontal to horizontal drain connections per IPC table 706.3. A wye is required. The other option is to move the location of the tee so it is connecting the trap to a vertical section.
Yep, he should have tied in below the existing San tee, pipe over, sweep up, tee out, then go on to the vent just like he did. He also reduced his vent between the two new tees. He had just made a comment about being short on 1 1/2 so why not use 2” there. If there’s 2” there, I would never reduce a 3’ section of it because depending on how the below floor is done, it might affect the venting
I enjoy these videos and I’ve learned tricks from them but I always correct the plumbing. People always say this is plumbers just butt hurt because this is taking money out of our pockets. Of course this isn’t true or why would we counter with the correct advice. If we wanted to stop DIY we’d just say wrong. I started commenting after seeing a couple of really bad ones. One was a plumber helping his buddy and he ran a lavatory drain over 90d up 1’ and then 90d out. Surely a plumber would know what an s trap is but I guess not. Another guy was doing similar to this, a double vanity. He had two trap arms but put a double combo vertical which again makes two s traps. I didn’t want people to see that do it themselves, then lose time and money redoing it after failing inspection. I guess no good deed goes unpunished. I’ve always liked this guy but if something I heard is true, he’s not as nice as he seems. There’s a professional fence builder who does react videos to other fence building videos. He seems fair. He applauds what’s good and corrects what’s wrong in his view. According to him old Jeff here didn’t like the criticism and copyright struck his video. You know most people could probably do it this way and it would work fine as long as there isn’t an inspection. However what bugs me is the arrogance. I’d respect him a lot more if he admitted his ignorance and told everyone to check their local codes but nope he talks like he knows everything about it even though most of what he said is bs. He even said you can’t attach vents below the flood rim which what’s he’s referring to is running them flat below flood rim and then he immediately ran a flat vent out of the right side of that tee. Then he said short 90s can’t he used on drains which is mostly true but he said that while running a San tee flat which is effectively the same thing. The cherry on top was saying they used to run drains in 1 1/4 galvanized pressure fittings. Not only did they never do this, they never used galvanized period for drains. They ran 1 1/4 galvanized for vents which may still be legal. Even as far back as 100 years ago they had cast iron and the fittings and how they were allowed to go weren’t any different than today. The only difference to today is the material used and methods for connecting it. Sorry for the diatribe, it’s been a long day and he really annoyed me.
I agree 100 % being a master plumber with 25 years experience in the state of Massachusetts and Rhode Island this guy is definitely not a plumber this job would never pass inspection
Absolutely, that’s why there is a section in the plumbing code book for boring vs. notching. Distances and measurements are explained in detail. Irrelevant if it’s load bearing. Procedures are to be implemented cleanly, neatly, with purpose and according to state and/or local plumbing codes.
I plan to do this too in both my bathrooms. Should I get an inspection for the plumbing job? will one have trouble selling the house later if not? Thanks for the video, it is very helpful.
Very informative videos by Jeff along with a good Canadian sense of humour! My dilemma: my drain pipe is secured in the concrete pad and the vent is fixed somewhere higher up. How to get pvc fitting in place when both ends are immovable?
This content is free somehow. Still blows my mind sometimes. Thanks Jeff!
Cheers!
He gets ad revenue from it I would imagine and he deserves every penny of it!

You’ve given me the courage to tackle on this project. My girls share a single sink, and it’s a battle when it comes time to brush their teeth or wash their hands 😂.
A regular old string line works as well for cutting pvc. A trick for opening a new can of plumbing glue is to take your Leatherman and tap and dent the top corner of the lid
that’s abs
Jeff - I’ve learned so much from you and you have made my Reno-life so much easier. Quick question - have you done a video showing how to consolidate two sinks down to a single sink in the bath? That is my next project!!
I use a Dremel with a drywall bit. It can't go deep enough to cut anything else. It does score the wood some as it's a little bigger that 0.5" deep.
Oh!! I DO like the Jack of all trades comment!! Good one!! I WILL use that!!!
Nice job, well done.
Recently found you and already subscribed. Good info. Thx👍
Thanks and welcome
Great explanations! Thanks.
LOL "most of my tools end up in the garbage because my kids work with me" I know the feeling. You ask the kids where the tool is and they just look at you like you are crazy.
Great channel Jeff. Been watching for years. Never really liked the way pex would kind of move around under the vanitys and kitchen sink. Recently found on the internet an inexpensive chrome decorative support that slips over the pex and gets screwed to the wall of base cabinet. Basically supports about 3 inches of the pex and covers the hole. Just something i thought you may be interested in.
Ty - can you provide a link or name for us?

Thank you!
Happy New Year to everyone
Dremel has/had a great little circular saw called the Saw Max that could be adjusted to the depth needed. I used it for everything until it was stolen. A lot easier than trying to knife/saw drywall imo.
You can use the multi tool to cut the drywall fast as well
Jeff, perhaps I missed it but I did not see you install the metal covers over each stud to protect the plumbing.
A whole host of issues, including stud guards and BOCA plates.
Is there a concern about deeply notching those three consecutive 2x4 studs? After a 2" deep notch you only have a small cross section of wood left to carry the loads. Would this comply with most building codes? (See at 22:35)
Yes, definitely a concern. He should have bored through 2x4’s and followed notching/boring procedures in plumbing code book
The sharkbite push connectors are the way to go. They are a third the price on eBay. Staying flexible was very great advice
They're f@cking terrible, no real plumber will ever tell you that. They leak and blow off the pipe far more than the manufacture will ever admit.
Honestly man…. I fucking love you 😂😂😂
I see that you don't have a video on how to do indoor stair installation, either hardwood, vinyl, or carpet. Want to see you do an A to Z guild. Thanks!
My friend always loves sniffing that glue when we do plumbing projects lol.
Good job.
Great video as always...but why not install those faucets and sink drains before installing the counter...? A hell of of a lot less crawling under.
Hello there 👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day?❤️!!!
A sanitary tee is not allowed in horizontal to horizontal drain connections per IPC table 706.3. A wye is required. The other option is to move the location of the tee so it is connecting the trap to a vertical section.
also, a vent must connect to the drain in the upper half of the pipe, his vent is coming in horizontal and therefore is against UPC also
Yep, he should have tied in below the existing San tee, pipe over, sweep up, tee out, then go on to the vent just like he did. He also reduced his vent between the two new tees. He had just made a comment about being short on 1 1/2 so why not use 2” there. If there’s 2” there, I would never reduce a 3’ section of it because depending on how the below floor is done, it might affect the venting
I enjoy these videos and I’ve learned tricks from them but I always correct the plumbing. People always say this is plumbers just butt hurt because this is taking money out of our pockets. Of course this isn’t true or why would we counter with the correct advice. If we wanted to stop DIY we’d just say wrong. I started commenting after seeing a couple of really bad ones. One was a plumber helping his buddy and he ran a lavatory drain over 90d up 1’ and then 90d out. Surely a plumber would know what an s trap is but I guess not. Another guy was doing similar to this, a double vanity. He had two trap arms but put a double combo vertical which again makes two s traps. I didn’t want people to see that do it themselves, then lose time and money redoing it after failing inspection. I guess no good deed goes unpunished. I’ve always liked this guy but if something I heard is true, he’s not as nice as he seems. There’s a professional fence builder who does react videos to other fence building videos. He seems fair. He applauds what’s good and corrects what’s wrong in his view. According to him old Jeff here didn’t like the criticism and copyright struck his video. You know most people could probably do it this way and it would work fine as long as there isn’t an inspection. However what bugs me is the arrogance. I’d respect him a lot more if he admitted his ignorance and told everyone to check their local codes but nope he talks like he knows everything about it even though most of what he said is bs. He even said you can’t attach vents below the flood rim which what’s he’s referring to is running them flat below flood rim and then he immediately ran a flat vent out of the right side of that tee. Then he said short 90s can’t he used on drains which is mostly true but he said that while running a San tee flat which is effectively the same thing. The cherry on top was saying they used to run drains in 1 1/4 galvanized pressure fittings. Not only did they never do this, they never used galvanized period for drains. They ran 1 1/4 galvanized for vents which may still be legal. Even as far back as 100 years ago they had cast iron and the fittings and how they were allowed to go weren’t any different than today. The only difference to today is the material used and methods for connecting it. Sorry for the diatribe, it’s been a long day and he really annoyed me.
He’s definitely not a plumber that’s for sure ! This would never pass plumbing inspection !
I agree 100 % being a master plumber with 25 years experience in the state of Massachusetts and Rhode Island this guy is definitely not a plumber this job would never pass inspection
Excellent video ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Tnx for video,and your time and good explonation,and of course for yours sinc of jumor!
And we don’t notch the wood we drill it to maintain structural integrity.
Assuming that wall isn't load bearing. It's just holding drywall
He stated it's not a structural wall
Recall he said that it wasn't a structural weight bearing wall and that he was going to notch and then plate it
Absolutely, that’s why there is a section in the plumbing code book for boring vs. notching. Distances and measurements are explained in detail.
Absolutely, that’s why there is a section in the plumbing code book for boring vs. notching. Distances and measurements are explained in detail. Irrelevant if it’s load bearing. Procedures are to be implemented cleanly, neatly, with purpose and according to state and/or local plumbing codes.
I plan to do this too in both my bathrooms. Should I get an inspection for the plumbing job? will one have trouble selling the house later if not? Thanks for the video, it is very helpful.
I got lost @17:00, trying to rewatch and understand, otherwise love his videos
Very informative videos by Jeff along with a good Canadian sense of humour!
My dilemma: my drain pipe is secured in the concrete pad and the vent is fixed somewhere higher up. How to get pvc fitting in place when both ends are immovable?
You are the man. Many thanks for the tips and giggles. If you are ever traveling through Utah, steak dinner, on me.
packing up the car right now!
