- There is no doubt, if I was a newer contractor just starting out, I'd be going after renovations like this 💥😄 The boomer generation is getting much, much older 😆 And they need to convert those tubs to walk-in showers. Plumbing is just one aspect of it...and unfortunately not every project and situation is the same. In this video I had it easy (newer home built in the 90s) and I simply needed to add a new trap and connect to shower pan. Consider enrolling in this course, I guide you through step by step 👍 And have many other examples of plumbing moves in other courses

That shower drain is 2” right?
@@juniorflores9362 connection 2” correct ✅
Incredibly helpful!! So glad I found your channel!
thank you this was one of the more helpful vids on youtube
I really enjoy your videos. You show how to install, along with how to figure your way along as you run into obstacles. THAT, imo is super important. I watch 4 tile guys regularly... you, Sal, Landberg and Tile Coach. You each have differences in things you focus on, and I think it definitely helps make us DIYers more rounded. You guys are appreciated!!
Highest compliment 👍 all amazing installers 😊
A trick an old plumber taught me is to take the can of glue and can of primer and ducktape them together side by side. Just a lot easier to deal with than 2 individual free floating cans.
The problem with that is covering the warning labels on the can is safety violation. On a job site a safety inspector could tell you to trash your cans and get new ones. RUclips is all about people showing safety in videos shown on RUclips.
Sr , I'm going from a stainless steel tub to a walk in shower...what type of shower pan do you recommend. Stainless steel or Acrylic....please specify name and model of whichever you recommend...my shower size will be 60x32 ...thank you very much and I really enjoy and learn from your experience...many blessings..I wanted to add also that my walls were tile and I will be going to tile again in shower and bathroom floor...👍🏼
Underrated channel
Don't even need to move a drain, but I love how he teaches... 😂
Always fun watching amateurs like this guy doing my job
Keep watching bud 😊
You could put a video or two up and show the world how it’s really down by the ‘pros’…..
Where is the rest of the drain hook up?
Thanks!
Wow 🤩 Thanks so much 😊 really appreciate this
I already enrolled in the course that has everything. I removed the subfloor-thank goodness I did-and I saw what damage was done by somebody, during two remodels, and left massive amounts of water damage unrepaired. I was a mold planting ground. I'm even going to mention they cut the joint from stem to stern leaving just 1 1/2 of joist at the bottom and top. I don't know why the former person reduced it to 1/2" when it not was necessary. In my state it's 2" code. Every pipe leading up to the drain 3", 2", except for the transition to the sink drain. There was all kinds of room but they settled on 1 1/2" shower drain for the shower. I don't think I can get an 1 1/2" shower drain for my pan. Why would I want to? I'm not a plumber but I'm a fluid hydraulic technician and with large fluid conductors is always better to avoid a drop in Delta P. Resistance to flow is bad.
Those the shower drain needs to be min of 2 inch round ?
Depending on quality of the shower, you might want to bed the base in mortar, or leveling compound.
And about getting into the remodeling process, please remember that a license and permit(s) are required.
We’ll said 👍 and please licensed professionals, use mortar under pans like this 👍
@@BathroomRemodelingTeacher I got a bs shower that is cracking in the rounded corners, all 4 corners. If they would have put mortar under the shower pan it would have not cracked.
Do you usually use a reamer to ream out the old pipe after you've cut it?
No, just remove burrs.
Obviously more precise with reamer but it’s overkill in my opinion
What kind of mixing valve is it ? Can you tell me the name of the fixture

the only time in doing a drain is the closet bend for a toilet you can go from big to small
How can I learn ur online course sir please
Thts one way of doing it.....pull the whole tub out 😅
Do you have a video on how to change toilet 🚽 to shower 🚿
Thats going to be nice standing in a puddle of water constantly now when that ptrap starts clogging up, constant maintenance now.
😆 that’s funny
Why constant maintenance?
I just don't see enough of a fast drainage the 2" into 1.5 and all of the elbows with any hair glogging and such, I would love to hear how it actually worked out from the users, He worked with what he had to deal with I could be wrong.@@OGCJ10
Think about that statement. The tub/shower drained fine on 1 1/2", how the hell does that change with a shower only? Maintenance doesn't change at all. The only real risk is if it DOES clog you have less time before water flows over vs. a tub. The risk is extremely small vs the cost to plumb in a whole new 2" line.
@@reidbalzer9514 not with 1-1/2 drain. Yes the clogging will be an issue and more frequent. But a 1/2” diameter in pipe size is a lot more of a problem than you think it it is. That problem is. With the amount of water going into the drain. The 1-1/2 will not always be able To keep up with it, it will fill that entire pipe and trap with water and cut off the air from the vent. Which will cause it to drain to slow. Which will fill the base and potentially overflow. It will do this without a clog in the pipe. The difference between the tub and the shower is the tub has an overflow drain on it. Which allows air to enter the pipe with the water while it drops into trap. Upsizing the drain to 2” for a shower will keep the trap and pipe from filling up the pipe entirely with water and Cutting the vent off. Where depending on the amount of water the showerhead is putting out will be an issue.
Not sure why you to do so, you can still take show while standing in tub.
Bro reminds me of Woody Harrelson. 😂
why not use 2 inch right from the cut off
Just letting you know you can't just upsize at the trap from 1 1/2" pvc to 2" pvc that is against code a shower drain needs a minimum of a 2" drain you need to cut it out and make the entire waste stack and trap arm 2" and stay within your minimum trap arm distance of 5 feet
Yup, always upgrade drain piping to 2” in this scenario…
You’re right and he already acknowledged that. But at the end of the day, the only reason a shower needs to be 2” and a tub can be 1-1/2” is because of the tub height vs curb height. If your shit is that clogged to the point of it overflowing the curb you should be doing something about it. Meanwhile people shave their beard over a bathroom sink that’s 1-1/4”
@@brianlundeen8448 you are missing a few points. Shower heads deliver more GPM than a lav faucet. Also the sink is a deeper receptor than a shower pan. So yes, a 1 1/4" drain but deeper to prevent over flow. This is hack anyway you look at it.
@@raycarrier5753 you’re right, and I would personally upgrade to 2” all the way, but I just think at the end of the day it will operate just fine
@@brianlundeen8448 Also my plumbing work gets inspected... 1 1/2" pipe would not pass plumbing inspection.
Not only is strain sized incorrectly, hot is supposed to be left and cold to right
Maybe watch beginning of video again 👍
incorrect to what? upc and IPC allow 1.5 in drain
you missed the core point how you connect the sewer to the pan
Don’t do it like this. Your asking for trouble.
How and be specific?
@@reidbalzer9514mainly the part where he tells you you shouldn’t do it like this. The shower drain needs to be 2”. Under no circumstances should it be 1-1/2. Main reason is the 1-1/2 drain can’t handle the water. The drian will fill completely it will cut off the air from the vent. And it will drain slowly. The reason it worked before was because the tub had an overflow drain that would allow air and water to enter the trap at the same time.
