Hello Rodger ! I was wondering if you could make a list called “ things a plumbing apprentice should be able to do after their first year of working as a plumbing apprentice
That be an awesome video!!
Ill start the list with sweeping at a pro level and Carrying lots of stuff.
yeah step one. Quit and go into welding
You should be able to move material for hours on end 😂
Should be able to dig a hole/ditch by hand
Our plumber didn't look at the drawings and septic location and sloped our house backwards!! The GC and inspector didn't catch it but luckily we did before the concrete was poured. The joys of building!!
Dang that would have really sucked. Lol
I'm waiting for the bloopers when you see a supervisor/entire construction crew walk over trying to figure out why some random guy is recording themselves trespassing on their job site and talking about how he would do it.
Just joking around in case anyone thought I might of been serious haha. I saw part one too Roger so Im fully aware you're allowed there...so you claim.
I love to see do I rough-in plumbing video where you're installing all the pipes and doing everything from the beginning
I’m a plumber of well over 25 years and I can’t stand seeing out of plumb and square pipes. On my service line clean out I always remove the 4” plug and install a popper. I’m with ya i much rather clean sewage in the yard than in the house that’s a no brainer. I always run my water lines under the slab to each fixture and even my above ground fixtures gets a dedicated waterline that’s run to a manifold that way I have no fittings in the walls. It’s a great system and yes on clean outs. Never enough clean outs!
Sometimes the concrete guys knock it out of plumb. So many of my ground roughs have been messed up by concrete guys.
I absolutely hate water lines buried in the slab. Every home I have owned that were slab on grade water lines always freeze. As a hvac tech I hate slab homes up north, even in Texas they can freeze.
That’s not really an issue in Texas. I’ve worked about as far north as you can get in Texas without going into the panhandle and I’ve never seen a water line freeze under a slab. Maybe up north where the option is basement versus slab the slab is more likely to freeze. Here when they don’t run them under the slab, they’re run them in the attic which is much more likely to freeze.
I've broken a few clean out ts with the skid steer doing stucco grades. This was when I first started operating. Great vid Rodger. One job I was on the graders had to do plumbing back fills on the pads. That was the only job I've ever been on where the graders had to do trash pick up an plumbing back fills. Was in the contract. I've also had to straighten out them lavs an toilet up rights when I did the pads. Learned a lot working at that company an learned a lot about what not to do also. Having that cleaner out an the end is nice. All the homes I worked on have them. You are bringing good light to the plumbing trade an trades in general. 👊.
Excellent training class 👍
Add measurements from left to right then right to left and make sure there the same. Talk to framers and find out which side they start pulling off. Another great video!
Love your videos. I do like to run my water loops under the slab if all possible. It just makes things so much easier.
My father makes water cut offs with easy access. No fun crawling under a foundstion, to turn water off.
Job man I love your movies iam learning a lot from you
It just reminded me why I'm glad I only do repair work any more
It gets really cold up here ( -50 ) so our sewer cleanout is actually inside the basement, rather than outside the house so it doesn't freeze. I don't know if that's code or not, the house is really old, but I thought that was odd when I first moved here. I'm obviously from a MUCH warmer climate.
Never buried plumbing for a slab, but I've roughed in a bunch of crawlspace and basement homes. I have done electrical conduit on large commercial jobs. It's about possible to keep the concrete guys from ruining your work.
I would never cable clean from the end line clean out. If you ever had a clog in the home it would be a soft clog that you could get from any lavatory. I’ve only ever run a main line machine into a home if I have an apprentice or helper in the home to tell me when I’m getting close to the bathroom group. It’s too easy to catch a a branch wye and start blowing through fixtures.
Lol that would suck. Home owner comes out an says hey ur thing is coming out my other bathroom faucet lol
Over the summer I did all the sewer side rough in for an industrial site, I spent a small fortune in cleanouts. Because the company I work for owns the industrial site I know I’ll be getting the call of ever there is a backup so I want to have the best situation possible if it happens
Show us a video about how you do repipes. I do repipes and service, but repipes are so busy it’s getting to be all I do. Sewer and water. I’m in cocoa beach Florida. Filled with houses plumbed with cast in the 50s.
Hey Mr Roger looks pretty good to me I guess I'm still learning..... Also me and wife plan on building dream home hopefully in another 4 months or so (owner builder)with G/C ON SITE 🤔 also I love how you said to have a clean out I believe at the end of the line for the plumbing?..... I will triple check to make sure my plumber do that that way any stop ups they can run a Snake
Let’s gooo journeyman plumber TN/KY area love the channel
Elizabethton TN/Tri-Cities plumber here
Hi Roger, hope the crews fixed that leak you found last time!!
They did!
currently building and we did all the rough ourselves, and we made a couple mistakes but nothing that can't be corrected easily. The issue we had is how do you get proper slope on drain lines and still get the vent/drain stack straight and square like you said? Most of our drain/vent stacks have a bit of a lean to them because of this. We're completely framed in now and we miscalculated a drain location for a tub, so we're just going to do a shower there instead. We have radiant in the slab so breaking up concrete is a non starter. Live and learn.
3/4 inch every 4ft for a typical drain
OMG! Beanie and sunglasses Roger looks kind of intimidating lol!
As a plumber in the Pacific north west? Why do you do slab on grade? And not post and beam or floor joist?
I guess they’re putting a studor vent on the island. Personally I’d have done a loop vent but then again I don’t know the details. Maybe that inspector won’t let them
im a plumber we use 110 pvc to under ground we typical have 2 lines out one is from toilets to septictank two is from sink to a second tank the pipes that we putt under concrete must be 110 pvc then for the washer and sinck we reduce the pipe to 50 40 mm pvc the wather that goes inn to the house is drilled trough the concrete wall typical only one inlet witch is the main for the house there we use 36 mm pem pipe blue ofcorse so i would say it is werry difrent in plumbing we use oil burners to heat the house and water moest plumbers here use copper press fittings or alupex but we still do it the good old safe way solder we use hamp and pack salve rater then unitape/teflon
teflontape is moest used for oil line here but i like your videoes it is intresting to see how others do it diffrent 👍
Does Texas not have basements or cellars? In NYC we never really have cement slabs covering our water or waste lines
I like your videos sir. I am starting my plumbing program👍
That's great! Where are you located
i use to work at a small contractor, build up just like this exept on the waterlines they were in the walls with easy acces.
plumbing was placed with bars and styrofoam for insulation.
and here in my rental house the company started isolation trough the walls and hit the plumbing instead of 2 bigbags of iso balls they used 6 ...where did they go .. and why did my toilet clog and gurgle ...
maybe because of the balls ans leaks oh and roots on the outline too.
living on a corner house made it easy started the pipes in de backjard , along the house and drains came about a foot underground trough the walls into the main and the ceramic rooted area is innersleeved with pvc what cut down the roots and made a new inner layer and i have a 1 way cleanout now.
all flushes out now they have to come for a leak in the waterline going upstairs wall is getting bumpy and porous i think it's a drip leak but before it crumbles down ....
they can be some creative with p traps too kitchen sink has one made out of 6 elements sink to straight to small bend to straight to p trap to another bend to qnother straight to a 90 to straight to the wall ...yea .. them's doin good haha
I love slab leaks 🤑
last house I was in with slab on grade, two of the plumping pipes were put in on the wrong side of the line.
How about how to move bathroom layout.
I wish we could run our slab kitchen island like that in illinois
Looks 👍🏼
Hey Roger,
I enjoy your videos and have a question. I have a 50 gallon, dual heating element electric water heater in my basement/crawl space that has no floor drain. The house is 6 years old and I don’t know if the water heater has ever been drained or flushed. The main waste stack (PVC) out to the mound system is about 5 feet away and is 4” diameter. Is there a way to drill / tap a drain faucet to this stack or do I have to use my little pony pump to push the water upstairs and to the outside ? I’m hoping my explanation is clear. TIA.
Best you could and should do if you’re going that route is to cut a clean out into your drainage if it can be appropriately placed and then run a hose from the drain valve discharging into that C/O. Or just use a laundry sink or a bathtub/shower if you have access. I would use a transfer pump if you can and don’t forget to open the T&P Relief Valve
Are the vents missing on the master tub /shower ? The vent on toilet rolled flat not 45 ..Can you explain CA Journeyman plumber here..
Horizontal wet vent
Yup…wet vented. No need to roll up the lavy and tub/shower drain/vent to 45º.
Who is that builder
If I were to inspector I would pass that house. I like cleanout's where the code says they should be, and where it just makes sense. Never liked the saying, "not enough time to do it right, but always enough time to do it over". As you know, doing it twice cost money.
The last time I did rough under a slab we were still using copper on the water lines. 🙄
Hey Roger do you know what could possibly be causing my shower's pipes to be making a gurgling sound when I turn it on , I woke up in the middle the night to take a shower and when I turned the shower valve the pipe would make a gurgling sound and the water from the shower head goes on and off and the water pressure is random is the pipe partially frozen or is it something else ? None of the sink's are having this problem either so I don't know what's going on , any help would be much appreciated
Yes
Not a plumber but it sounds like air in the pipes.
Arizona j wish....
How come there is no basement?
Not everyone can have a basement. If I had one it would be full of sea water from the Gulf of Mexico. A lot of people build homes on stilts in my neighborhood.
Before I even watch the video, you have to do a lot of chopping and cutting!
Gotta love crappy houses sheathed in cardboard…
