- Got the lift pump installed and sink plumbed for a quick brew day.
Here is the recommendation for the faucet. NOTE: it has a 12" faucet as well, check compatibility with your sink.

Looks great .. can't wait to see it completed
Getting there!! Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍🍻
Good to see it’s all coming along mate! 🍻
Thanks Leo!! Labor of love! Gotta get it ready for your visit!! Lol 👍🍻
Looks great Brian. That's all I got. I don't want to wear out my welcome. Thank you for sharing your good work brother.
Lol welcome anytime!! Keep the comment coming!! 👍🍻 🛁
Nice work Brian! Tidy work with the pump!
Thanks Andrew!! In am happy with it! It is fast and pretty quiet! Cheers! 👍🍻
Very nice! Good hint on the faucet!
Yeah! Learn from my mistakes!! Cheers! 👍🍻
🍻
Love it, great work mate. It's all going to look and function perfectly when it's finished, and you'll also have a great library of videos to refer to if repairs and upgrades ever rear their little heads :-)
Yeah! I do like documenting everything on video so I can go back and see the location of things. Cheers!! 👍🍻
Great video I like the pump very cool I m building a brewery in my basement and the pump will work great for me. Thanks
Awesome, I love having a brewery in the basement, just go down and brew!! 👍🍻
Great pump. Been running it in my restaurant for 4 years. Regular maintenance/cleaning every 6 months. Zero issues.
Great to hear! The maintenance is why I made it easily removable with the unions. What do you do for maintenance? Just wash it out? Cheers!! 👍🍻
I have this pump at my house had it installed about a year ago it's been working flawlessly except for today it would not drain so I banged on the top of it a little bit and then it drained out.... is there a way to clean this?
Coming along! You’ve been a very busy bee.
Yes I have!! Been off for a few days and getting a LOT more done.. 👍🍻
Looking good Buddy................................................CHEERS
Thanks!! 👍................. 🍻
Hey nice plumbing work. Maybe I missed it, did you mention making sure the section of drain pipe that goes a crossed the room is pitched towards the main drain. That’s a nice pump system and much quieter than I expected. Funny too I was looking at the floor and thinking “It doesn’t look like the epoxy is down?” Cheers man, looking great, sooo jealous 🍻🍻
Lol no it is not down yet. I did not mention that. I will mention it in a future video. Cheers!! 👍🍻
Nice install! As a warning to others, some plumbing codes don’t allow use of those vents, so you should check with your local inspector to see if they are legal in your area. Mine wasn’t so I have to run a full vent line outside.
We have no code.. Lol I am in the country. No inspections either. Believe some of the stuff I have seen needs inspected!! Lol
@@ShortCircuitedBrewers I used to live in rural Ohio as well, so I know all about the lack of codes! I remember asking the local county about building inspections and the answer was "we've never heard of that."
Those pumps won't work right with those air admittance valves. They need an open vent. Hope you didn't have any problems with the pump, I've had to remove them for customers before and run a regular vent to outside.
I wound up removing it. You're correct!
@@ShortCircuitedBrewers Wow quick reply! Glad you figured it out, hope everything is working great
How is the pump functioning I am working on doing an install using this pump and read right in the manual not to use a One Way Quick Vent or Air Admittance Valve for venting. Have you had any issues since installation?
I have not had any issues. Well except for one. I am going to remove the vent because it does not allow the "pressure" to escape the pump housing. Which wouldn't be an issue except for the fact that if I have a full sink and drain it all at once. The floor drain becomes the vent and water starts coming up out of it! Lol not a huge issue but the vent does cause that. I think I will be fine with having a pipe up the wall and put a 180degree elbow on it for venting. Hope that helps! 👍🍻
Nice work. I imagine you take your spent grain and hops outside and dump it. However unless you spray out everything out outside, you will probably get some spent grain, hop particle, yeast from fermenters, etc. passing through that pump. Is it rated to pass minimal particulate through it? The check valve also might get spent grain trapped and stick slightly open possibly. I saw you mention maintenance, would it accumulate inside the pump some how? Not being critical, just curious as I may be in need of this type of solution in the future. Cheer!
Good questions! The pump is rated for 3/8" Particulate matter. I will most likely add a fine screen in the sink drain to prevent grain from getting in the pump. The one way valve is pretty well designed. I hope I don't have any trouble with it time will tell and I will be reporting back on it for sure. Maintenance would be just cleaning out the pump housing to make sure it stays functional. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers Adam! 👍🍻
From OH-IO too! I want to get the same pump, and after the brew is over i have a big trub/hop cone in my kettle. Can this pump handle washing all of that down the drain?? It can be up to 16 oz of used hops.
As long as it's not hop cones don't see why not.. I wash yeast and hops down my drain all the time no issue. 👍🍻
I know this is an older video , but what did you use to connect the sink to the wall ? I got a very similar sink, but need to mount it , was wondering how you did to keep it from moving/tilting on the drainage side. Thanks!
There are holes in the flange on the top of the sink backsplash. I added blocking behind the sink prior to putting up the drywall etc. And use stainless screws directly into the wall..👍🍻
@@ShortCircuitedBrewers Thank you for the reply!
@@neodammarang 👍🍻
excellent video. Where did you get that pump? Thank you
Amazon
5:18, do we have to set the pump into a container, or can it be set under or to the side of a utility sink ?
It can be set freestanding anywhere..I needed the tub to have a place to put the assembly. 👍🍻
Thanks for the tip @@ShortCircuitedBrewers
Looks cool. But if I may (and I might be wrong) but it looks like you only used the purple PVC primer, and not the glue itself.
The brand we use at work has a purple (primer) and a blue (glue) PVC setup.
Just checking, in case you didn’t know.
But then again, maybe in your part of the world they have a purple-colored PVC glue.
Just throwing it out there.
Other than that, looking gütt.
I used glue for sure.. Clear glue.. Lol the whole house was smelling of it.. Kelly asked me how I wasn't staggering from it! 👍🍻
How is that faucet holding up? I am looking for one for my home brewery commercial sink. T&S with sprayer is like 400 bucks…..looking for something less expensive but decent quality. Thanks
The main valves and everything are holding up great the only thing that I've had with a little bit of a leak is the valve that's above the main shut offs for the faucet. To choose between the sprayer or the faucet. Which is not really a big deal because all you have to do is just turn off the main hot and cold valves and nothing leaks. It's been good so far
This is very similar to what I'm using

@@ShortCircuitedBrewers Thank You!
I’m currently looking for a sink and faucet just like the one you installed. How big is the sink itself and where did you buy it from? I found what I needed on WebstaurantStore.com but shipping is over $200!
16x20x12 bowl size. That is the problem with the sinks. The shipping. Do you know if there is a restaurant store near you? I got mine locally in Ohio. What major city are you close to?
can we connect that lift pump to the kitchen drainage which contains the little debris ?
Should be able to. Where does the kitchen drain go? City sewer?
@@ShortCircuitedBrewers ye going to council main
@@alexandervarghese2864 yep you'll be fine
You can not use an AAV on that type of install. You need a 1 1/2 open vent.
Yeah found that out. 👍🍻
Good video and all the best.
@@garyo4057 thanks!
What's the purpose of the pump?
It's a Sump, he's brewing in a basement and needs to lift the water to the sewer line for his house.
@@wejohnson1001 ah, that makes sense.
Man it's nice to have my questionls answered for me!! You guys are awesome! Thanks 👍🍻
What he said.. Lol to elaborate a little more. The sewage drain in the basement (split level) is at about waist height, so I have to pump it up to the existing drain pipe. Also beause of the floor drain I had to put it below the floor height. 👍🍻
