The most thorough explanation of the function of water basin drains and the different type of traps I have ever seen.Thank you.👍
Glad it helped.
That was GREAT! Exactly everything I wanted to know. I had known that S-traps weren't ideal but I never knew why, and I didn't know all of that additional info on proper P-trap installation. Thank you.
Glad it helped.
Well explained with good details. Thank you!
Glad it helped.
Good explanation 💯
This was very helpful. Thank you.
Glad it helped.
hoping you can help me friend.
our house is the usual old 130 yr old type . my double kitchen sinks been problematic , the drain piping goes directly down into the floor , heading
into the basement below and does not first curve off into the wall .
any advice on what I could do to make a more balanced draining and venting.
I've tried many different kits , and overall the whole thing is just a mess.
Thank you for your time .
Don.
Thank you . could you please make a video to show us how to add extra toilet ?
Great explanation. Thank you
Glad it helped.
Great video, I now know a lot about traps. Also this guy looks like he would give the best hugs!
He does. Thanks.
Great and well explained.
Thank you. Glad it helped.
That was so informative, and exactly what I needed to know in regard to the p-trap under my shower stall.
Glad it helped.
I never knew why that shape is used. Thank you for explaining it!!
Now you know 😁
Really good, thank you.
Glad it helped.
Solid explanation. I already knew P-Traps were better, and some of the why. Thanks for helping me solidify my understanding. I only watched until 6 minutes, but I didn’t hear you mention “vacuum break vent valves” which are allowed in some areas.
Good point.
When you buy these kits are they just screw together or do you have to use any kind of glues or anything? I always feel like I’m gonna have leaking water when working with plumbing. Thanks in advance.
They screw together. They come with seals for the joints as well.
Very good 👍
Glad it helped. Thank you.
My sink drains have the air admittance valves. I wasn't sure what it really did until now. Good info. Thanks! (So far, no alligators...)
So far. Lol.
That's good 👍
Glad it helped.
very good explanation!
If at all possible - avoid the foreman or flex trap... I have seen those folds fail many times, and they really tend to hold the same grease/gunk/hair that is in the belly of the trap
Thanks for the great tips.
I'm working on this house where these things have not been touched since probably the sixties everything in here is way before my time. There is no p-trap under the kitchen sink. It's a dual think it goes into one pipe that goes down into the tub. In the sub area there's this weird-looking contraption about 7 ft away and all this drainpipe is one and a half inch copper. Just to give you an idea how old this shit is. Everything I'm touching is disintegrating in my hands I don't know what to do should I try to put a p-trap in but I know I can't go through the roof or even into the wall with the air vent? It looks like an AAV is going to be my thank you for your tips and very well put out in English video
Glad it helped.
@@Caliber8Tools what would you recommend to tie into the copper pipe I'm going to have to cut in the basement and make it over into the ABS PVC schedule 40 drain that I'm going to use going from there over to the drain in the floor. I haven't done this type of work in a long time and the last time I did it we used to use ferncos(damn dyslexia) but I don't know if that was still used today the little rubber hose on both ends that has hose clamps to keep from leaking or is there another way?
I “believe” flexible traps are not allowed by code. I’m sure you know this but it may be informative to mention this.
Also, if you have a bathroom fixture that is rarely used you can slowly add water to the trap; shut off the water; then add a tablespoon or 2 of olive oil or any cooking oil. The oil will sit on top of the water in the trap and reduce/slow down evaporation.
Ah, interesting tip. Thanks.
Alligator 😂😂😂😂😂 ok .
Lol.
Well considering S Traps are now illegal in most if not all states, P traps it is.
Is what it is right. Glad it helped.
I would be pretty concerned if I had an alligator come out of my toilet considering I'm in California and not Florida
Watch the movie lol.
I think this might have been a pretty good video, but I'm not sure. Just ended up thinking about alligators in my toliet.
That’s a valid thought.
