Keep posting vids! I feel like a real world example of re plumbing an old mill house and converting the cast iron drain pipe to pvc and adding air admittance valves would have me ready to tackle my project! Your for real the best explainer of drains for my electrician brain to understand on RUclips!
This is so interesting seeing plumbing from other parts of the country and what's allowed by code and not. We couldn't get away with half of the venting in this video! We also would never think of having to insulate P traps lol!
I enjoy watching your videos! It’s like having my dad explain how he did things. I was trained under him and we use to run a 3” vent otr in the back of the house and tie most everything to it, except the KS and WM. That was back in the day. Love your work brother!
A lot to take in. It'll take a few viewings to process. Overall, I would like to learn how you map it all out and figure the runs and sizes. I wonder if you've heard about/used that Quiet PVC pipe instead of cast iron. Something about that heel elbow (5:18) looks funky. And how do you manage to keep that purple primer in it's place? I'm very neat, but still have trouble keeping it under control. Excellent job. Overall nice job site, but I see the framers still putting wood direct to concrete without sill plate foam. I know it's in process, but that service cable needs nailer plates and fire blocking foam. Keep an eye on that electrician.
Awww you have no idea how your video has help me!!! I am learning how to resolve rat problems in houses. And since I am not a plomber I have no idea what is going on into the floor and walls and all those connections, and I was looking for a video like this 😍 I have a question but I need to know how to explain my questions first because it’s little complicated 🤔 I will come back to you once I figure it out🤔 Thank you sooo much for this video
You mention in some 4 minute videos about the slope of the pipes. Do you have a diagram of that? Does that mean when your 3" stacks go horizontal and head out of the house, they have to have that slope? All the way to the city sewer? Meaning, you have to have your "outside" sewer line 3" deep enough to maintain that slope? Also the pipes in your "ceilings" have to maintain that slope? What if your sewer line is extremely long from one side of the house to another, and there isn't enough room in the ceiling to maintain that slope?
At about 7:08 you have a bar sink drain with an air admittance opening that would be below the flood rim of the sink. I believe that is a code violation.
Great work 👏 GC here trying to get better. I'm learning, can you elaborate on when a air admits valve is ok and why you use it in some areas and some not. Thanks brother!
Is the white pex the hot line? I'm curious because I only saw the 1" red...I have seen some videos where the red pex A is having failures....Have you heard anything about that? Great content! thanks for taking the time to make it. It really helps me as an apprentice.
@@blackmanops3749 as far as i know IPC and UPC don't allow low heel 90 elbow in this(horizontal) orientation. the justification (afaik) is that solid waste will be hitting the edge of the inlet possibly causing build up and eventually blocking the drain. if used in vertical position it will act pretty much the same as reducer
How many items can you vent on one 3 inch stack ?I have a farm house remodel I’m about to plumb on septic system it has 2.5 bath kitchen and laundry that’s connected to one of the 2 baths(same room) I’ve watch most of your videos and I’m more informed on the venting. also is there a max fall for horizontal runs?
I’m finishing a space above my garage The drain for the commode is 3 inches. I’ll additionally have a vanity, shower, clothes washer and kitchen sink. Can I vent all these fixtures with one 2 inch line and what is the maximum horizontal distance from the fixtures to that 3 inch line out of the commode?
I have a quick question, i have a mobile home 60 ft length 2 restroom,kitchen and washer. My question is if i can use just one roof vent or is it 2 vents? I just really want to make sure.
Great detail. Thanks again. About the heel outlet: I'm pretty sure that in Allegheny County, they are illegal. Or is it only illegal at the bottom of a toilet connection?

At 5:40, does the WC cut off the wet vent since it enters on the vertical? I’m a plumber’s apprentice from NC. Your videos are very helpful, thanks!

The next video I make will be about AAV's. In the next week or so... Thanks for watching.
@@risingtideplumbing Same question as @naui2. Looking forward to your video covering that.

Great content! thanks for taking the time to make it. It really helps me as an apprentice.
Did he say 1.5" vent to a 3" drain? Why did you do that?
Great video, thanks!
5:18 why is that (3x3x2)heel outlet allowed in this orientation by code? thank you!
I'm no plumber, but that looked funky to me too. What do you think is off about it?

i would do 2
Looks pretty dang good. So much of of this is illegal though lol atleast where I’m at
Is that clean out required on the vent for washing machine?
It is here yes.
Please explain how this helps with clean out
@@johnwquick3616 just another access point to put a snake down
Why do u keep offsetting your vents..
i believe he is lining up his lateral runs
Not questioning your plumbing at all…but my goodness that is a complex floor plan with no thought to arranging fixtures efficiently.
Just curious, where are you located?
NC is his location
This is a California FAIL. I can’t even begin to explain why without making a 40 minute video. Good on you Carolina. 😂😂😂😂
Then make a 40 minute video already. We want to know!
Great detail. Thanks again. About the heel outlet: I'm pretty sure that in Allegheny County, they are illegal. Or is it only illegal at the bottom of a toilet connection?
I know it's not a plumbing question, but how tall are those floor & ceiling trusses? They look like they are way over a foot tall
normally 14". At least ours were, i just built a house.
@@andrewcarr2431thanks
Can you imagine having to put in ALL cast iron in this house?
It's the twenty First Century. C'mon man!
What are you talking about? "Don't be stupid, you moron"
