I vote for you you know how to sort through the solid waste matter called politics. To be politically correct LOL
I suggest making a video about japanese toilets. Some of them have a spout on top of the flush box too. It would be the most hygenic if you install a sink next to the toilet so you can wash your hands before getting up and smearing everything on your clothes.
I lived in japan for a couple years and they have sinks on the top of toilets to wash your hands. Temperature comes out one temperature though... always cold!

That “pex” in #3 looks more like a coax cable line to me.
glad someone said that. that's what it looks like to me
Yeah and that 90 wasn’t a 4x3 . Definitely was a 4” 90 , still love the channel though !
Thats exactly what it looks like to me! I used to install DISH so, definitely an old Coaxial cable!
I thought capped off flex gas line.

#4: When the puzzle's missing a piece so you borrow from another box
@8:00 Thats not an old PEX line capped off, That's a TV coaxial cable lol
Yep looks like rg6 with messenger wire
Any reason you'd have a coaxial cable in that location? I thought the coaxial cable ran from wall to the tv/cable box
@@zach23ize A run from outside where the service drops in to the home, to the wall the TV is connected to?
@@Elfnetdesigns yeaah I had a brainfart. Lol it makes total sense
Years before I was born my Grandfather and Dad went on a call to a house that housed a very large family (20+ people) The toilet had been clogged for so long they started shitting in the bathtub. It was full to the brim. They walked out.
in our local urban legend, after the tub got full, they cut a hole in the floor with a chain saw and filled the crawlspace.
I went to a house call a few years back the toilet and bath where full to the brim, the smell hit my face like a sledgehammer, I called the office and they sent a tanker, with the tanker sucking I gently used the jetter hose to soften the waste left in the tub and toilet, it ended up being a 16hour job including unblocking the main drains from the property, all because the Tennant was to afraid to call the landlord incase the rent went up
The "spackled" black pipe with super deep P trap:
"Just keep adding putty until the leak stops"
Definitely handyman special.
number 2:
picture one: honey, you know that brown dog of ours? yeah, turns out it was white...
picture two: "not a cement mixer"
4 and 5 falls under the category "Slumlord special" I believe
Last pic: stealing your childs silly putty for a emergency repair job
The sinks in the top of the toilet is extremely common in Japan. I believe it caught on as a space-saving matter, but is also super efficient.
@Paul DesFosses That's probably more so they can't rip it off the wall
Yeah. More or less standard. It's used even in large houses with plenty of space. Great idea, but the bathrooms they are put in are so small.. you better not be claustrophobic. :D
Love seeing these. As a fellow Texas plumber of 18 years, these things never cease to amaze me.
Regarding the hand-washing toilet, I've heard about that a lot from off-grid folks. It's called a gray water system. I think it's a great idea for conserving water, because you don't really need potable water for flushing.
I don't know about that.
I don't think grey water is suitable for hand washing.
I think it's that potable water is used first for washing your hands then becomes grey water to use for filling the cistern then flushing.
Would you put grey water in your mouth? No.
But if you washed then rinsed your hands with grey water and say are food..
Well then yeah do you see it now?
@@ToxicMrSmith I didn't mean that the gray water was used for washing hands. The potable water is used for washing hands, and then it becomes gray water for flushing the toilet.
Also that sink/toilet system is actually also really popular in Prisons (that's where I actually heard of something like that, my neighbor is former prison guard and told me about it) for a bunch of reasons. It saves space, money by saving water, easier to install,ect.
I'm always thinking of dirt or soap through the WC.
Why does his magnificent mustache make me feel safe? 🤔
It is the suggestion of a save hiding space, I guess ^^

Wow you are really hung up on this dude's facial hair. Time to talk with a therapist about it.
The thing that always amused me is it takes more work to do things wrong. It actually be easier and less work to do these things correctly.
Thank you for sharing this. I wish they would have showed this to us at the hall right when you start your career. I know some plumbers working two jobs because they have that debt. I like how you broke down the percentage and talked about investing in yourself as well. Many journeyman won’t take anymore classes and I see that if you want to be more knowledgeable you have to continue education. Thank you for the video and hope you recover soon.
Thank you for showing my video! I am glad to know it's not too out of the ordinary, but I've never had one of these flushing systems before. Glad to have someone explain it! I do actually like it cause it works amazingly well, it's just it looks so bizzare compared to everything I've normally seen lol.
Caroma in Australia still makes the toilet with the hand washing spout over the tank. I've installed about 10 in the last 20 years, one client actually had me run tempered water to it.
Thanks for showing my photos Roger. Like I said that was my very first day working and thats how I got introduced to plumbing😂
Watched the entire video...Great job as always
Dang howd you watch a 14 min vid in 10 mins lol
8:07 as a cable guy I'm pretty sure that's coax cable, not plumbing.
Definitely coax!
Yes sir, thats rg6. Former cable tech
I'm also questioning whether the white 4" pipe is fart fan exhaust, just based on the presence of another drain line.
Definitely coax but I'm saying RG59 possibly
@@zachNalana your comment came up before I saw what thread it was on, but yeah, that's where I'd expect that the coax would be RG-59.
i wish i could go under my uncle's house to show u the "repairs" he made earlier this year.
He had a small leak in one of his pipes cuz it was rusted through (really old pipes), He got a piece of sheetmetal and welded it arround the hole, a few weeks later the welds start leaking, so what does he do? weld ANOTHER piece of sheetmetal over it, he did that 3 times before having the pipe replaced.
Sounds like something I would do...
I've got some interesting work in my own house. The pipe that comes out of the wall for the lavatory is chrome. By the time it gets to the basement, it's cast iron. I had to fix it since it was pitched the wrong way. Still far from perfect, but at least, it works properly now.
This format is absolutely amazing.
I wish I had pictures, but the craziest plumbing thing I've seen was we found that the homeowner before us (loads of wacky repairs) had used a Coffee Can for a J-Trap under a sink. Cut a hole in the plastic lid for the top pipe, and cut a hole in the side a few inches from the bottom of the can for the exit pipe. Both pipes galvanized steel) And connected using EPOXY. I really wish we took a picture. :)
It was a Maxwell House blue coffee can (pretty sizable). This was discovered in the 80s, done most likely in the 70's.
Hi Roger, love the videos. Would love to see an outtakes video! Could be a lot of laughs!
Keep up the good work and teaching the world about plumbing.
I am not a plumber so I didn't recognize a problem under my kitchen sink until it was too late. One day my kitchen drain sprung a leak and it caused significant damage before we caught it. The cause of the leak was that the P-trap was installed backwards so it was very fragile. It got bumped and came loose. Over $20k later and I now have a new kitchen.
Those sinks on the top of the toilet tank are super cooool!
The 1st video clip my mom actually had a dump flush one and I installed her new one a few months back. Havent ever seen that style other than her old toilet.
A week ago we had to pipe in a unit to an apartment building into the main stack. They remodeled 5 years ago and the plumbers never did it. We just took over the property and I smelt it on my initial inspection. Nasty stuff.
how are you so kind, like you might be the nicest dude ive ever seen
I've seen those toilets with the little handsink on top they are really cool!
I hate reaction videos. But yours actually teach us as you go.
And I really appreciate your wisdom
Love the video keep up the great work
Number one has the advantage of not having a dump valve, which can get stuck or jammed.
#1 @4:00 "Shitter's Full" -Cousin Eddy
The toilet in my Japanese apartment had you wash your hands on top of the tank. I thought it was very smart.
Yeah but it means you have flush after you wash your hands.. And that smell :p
@@balgraeve no when you flush the clean water comes out of the top you wash your hands and then it goes down the sink where it fills up the toilet tank.
The first video I've seen before on a job at an apartment complex. Really threw me off when I first saw it lol I kept flushing it a bunch of times amazed at how it worked
on #3 the PVC 90 appears to be a twist-lock box store special.Tthe black smaller line is a drain line for either an RO or a water softener. I work as a utilities plumber, and we do use full circle repair clamps on waste water, especially going from clay tile to PVC or HDPE. It appears that this was remodeled and the ABS was in good enough shape at that time to not cut it out and attempt to re-thread the holes in the joists with PVC as it is much more ridged than ABS.
on #4 a. "I know a guy who can hook you up real cheap" b. "I know a Lic. plumber who does quality work and reasonable rates to fix what your guy installed"
on #5 "well, its called PLUMBERS putty"
I have no idea why RUclips recommended me your channel a while ago...
The photos don't affect me the same, but a sniff of mould will make me literally purge my entire lunch.
So plumbing? No clue about it, would not be able to work in that field...
So wtf RUclips??
@Roger That 3rd video, That was a Coaxial Cable above that pipe, not a Pex line.
I'm not a plumber, just a handyman that knows how to do a lot, and yes, I can do plumbing. I'd have to caption these exactly how I watched them; "JAW DROPPNG"
What's that music in the background of Megan's 1905 plumbing section? I'm loving it
I wanna see that Norway pic/review!! That looks interesting.
@8:03 the capped off line. That is probably a cable TV wire. Looks like a push-on type F connector and the wire itself has the coax part with a steel tension wire twinned onto the side--that is, it's an external wire designed to "fly" from pole to pole with the steel wire providing mechanical support. Of course the scary part is removing about a third of that heavy load-bearing beam. Hope the beam doesn't fail.
Another thing pvc is good for is a stash to bury stuff in, pack it with whatever and seal it with two end caps then bury it
I need a frickin mustache like that!!! Love your content though! ❤️
These are my favorite type of videos from you, when I am looking for entertainment.
The "capped" line is actually the cable for cable TV, in the video where they got points for style
I was working as a custodian in 1988 at a high school that was being remodeled and added onto during that summer. It required that the water be turned off so that the water supply plumbing could be replaced. Even though the company supplied plenty of porta-potties for the workers they still used the toilets and unrinals inside the building all summer, with no water to flush. They released the building to us and turned the water back on three days before school started. They did not turn the water on gradually and bleed the lines. They turned it on all at once and blew out about half the flush valves.
Fun fact: duct tape was oroginally capled duck tape before the rebranding and its main purpose was to be a quick durable leak repair tool
no 3 the solder joints -bigger the glob the better the job i thought it was for electrical but am seeing it hold true for welding and plumbing too lol 🤦♀️😜
10:07 when either Let's Game It Out or a new player to Satisfactory does your plumbing.
#3 That cut beam might be better than it first appears. The original had a crack but the crack is completely closed and the floor appears straight. The new piece sistered on goes out of frame both ways so it is a pretty substantial timber.
The capped PEX line that you were referring to in the 3rd post is a coaxial cable 😂
Love your videos!
Can you blame Richard for getting that one wrong? Look at that mess! I thought it was a capped line also. And they were obviously going for the "Adapter User of the Year Award".
2:45 - those kind of "dual purpose" toilets are very common in Japan...
The last one with the extra deep p trap titled
"Stop the sewer gas - Puddy Please!"
The "duct tape" in a couple of pics is likely flex seal water proof tape wich can actually be applied under water and to wet surfaces.
I have used it on cast iron to seal seam splits or rust holes to buy someone time to save money to replace pipes when a small drip or a sewer gas leak is involved. Ameture doing a friend a favor kind of thing, and its also useful as a temp tool when trouble shooting to eliminate possibilities.
You make me want to be a plumber. I don’t think I actually am interested in the work but you seem like a good dude and a good person to work for. I bet plunging along side you would be enjoyable
#3- when you're forced to do a group project together where everyone has to contribute and everyone id using their own exclusive parts
From what I understand, the toilet described in #1 where you wash your hands and then the water from that fills your tank, are common in Japan
#3 homeowner "Can you fix this leak?", plumber "idk, let me see what I got in the truck."
Does the dump flush system leverage gravity to create flushing power with less water?
8:10 That is a a TV cable. The beam beyond is problematic but not because of the plumbing. That beam is SPLICED. NFG for structural support. You can take 40% of a structural piece. He's there, although the fat side should be on the bottom.
don't know anything about anything but this feels like the plumbing version of tech gore and im here for it
Hey Roger just want to give a shoutout to you. I NEVER in my life thought i would be watching plumbing videos you are just very entertaining and your content is excellent. Thanks. Kristian
One of those looks like something that two different plumbers refused to work on, before I found a Hero willing to slay the beast without slaying my pocketbook. If it is the same job, many many thanks.
#1: The sink at the top of the toilet is a prison toilet lol
#5: Play-Doh Deep P
8:09 thats just a coaxial cable the reason end looks like that is because he bought a huge roll which then you have to put the end son yourself, only big rolls comes without ends so you can cut them up to size. otherwise the short premade ones usually have a shield of rubber or plastic around it
#4 “ You vs The Guy She Tells You Not To Worry About”
I like the dump tank toilets, nobody stocks parts for those fluidmasters where I live though.
Craziest thing I've seen is a sharbite directly to the water main at the township valve.... And that's to code, my township tells people to just sharbite to it 🙃
There used to be a kit you could buy at stores or order off tv to convert "any" toilet to have a handwash station - great idea, but the kits were hit or miss on fitting right. *ex buildings&grounds guy
Someone has their computer plumbed in to the plumbing at the 0:30 mark.
Hey Roger... At 8:07 that isn't a PEX line it's most likely an RG-6 coax quad shield 75ohm cable with grounding wire or it once was a dual coax commonly used on satellite dishes that has been pulled apart into two separate cables at some point which usually is done when swapping out the dish itself or just its LNB (the little receiver on the end of the arm extending from the dish) or when someone ditches satellite service for cable or over the air service both of which rarely require the use of a dual coax cable because I am certain that is a screw on F connector attached on the end. I'm an electrical engineer and formerly one of the youngest store managers ever for RadioShack
Watching this video while eating lunch. Photo number 2 made me stop eating!
I mean my dad's not a plumber and he installed a jacuzzi and renovated my grandparents whole third floor bathroom in the late 80s... I'm going to try to get his handy work on here.. hahaha 🤣
@8:12 That is a coax/RG-59 wire prob for satellite since it has a ground wire built in.
#2 pic #1: When the Taco Bell hits during bath time.
Wonder what your impression of compression based flex hoses are. The steel braided ones that go on 15mm pipe
that bathroom is exactly why we have our mains at work jetted out twice a year....money well spent and no backups..
I have one of those style Niagara toilets and absolutely HATE it. I have to fiddle with the float for it to refill and sometimes stop filling.. Not to mention the multiple flushes... 🙄
I've used one of the " sinks on top of the cistern " toilets.
Lol I read the title in your voice automatically and I don't even watch your videos often.😄
Wash basins on top of the toilet are exceedingly common in Japan. I saw them all over the place there.
8:06 i think thats a coaxial cable for cable tv or to a outdoor antenna or a satellite dish
ok the second one with the blue tub and overflow reminds me of a plumbing company that i used to work for everything flows down hill into the basement ( that means whatever crap the higher up don't want to deal with it goes down hill to the techs
That first year apprentice's pictures make me glad I decided to get into commercial.
I don't wipe my solder joints 9/10 times because if the solder is soft enough to wipe off then you don't want to be shaking the connections by wiping it. I do clean up anything visible though.
4 drain rollercoaster
5 when the drywall guy wants to do plumbing
That "wierd pex line" in number 3 was a Coax cable just hanging there.
Question on the main drain cast iron 4”. Right before it goes in the basement floor about 2’ off the floor. I have 4” pvc connected to the cast iron using the rubber sleeve with the two tightening bands. What is the proper piece to connect the pvc? Would it be a 4” pvc extension glued to the cast iron?
If I see my bathroom looking like this (scenario 2) I'd call sanitation before talking to a plumber or telling a plumber specifically that they need sanitation experts.
What’s do you think about channel locks vs v shape channel locks ?
