Watching you plumb that bathroom was more riveting than a reality TV show! Can't wait for the season finale: The First Flush 💩😂
😂😂
Lol!!!😮😂😢
I love those PEX lines, it makes it so much faster & easier!
They were great to work with 🙌
Would it be better to insulate those hot water lines even if they are pex?
Nice work! 👍I personally prefer the pinch clamps, no gauge required, my Ryobi crimper gives me a green light, more idiot proof. 😂
Haha thanks. I personally would worry more about those over the long run, but I'm no plumber😂
Would definitely insulate the bathroom and use 5/8 sheetrock on both sides. It make a huge difference with noise when the shower is in use and the added privacy is nice being in the main living space.
The progress is impressive. Instructional video, as always!
Also, I love that you keep safety in mind (knees, eyes, ears).
Thanks! I try my best 🤘
Awesome video as always Kordare. The Guest bathroom is coming along awesomely can't wait to see what you've got in store for the outdoor entertainment area.
Thanks a lot 🤘🤘
Kordare, your content is excellent! You’re super knowledgeable about everything. Please keep it coming.
I appreciate that, more to come 🤘
Badass... love the content. Everything from cars to home diy! Keep up the great work
Thanks a lot!
Can't wait to see the whole room finished.
Coming soon 🙌
TY so much for lining the text on the PVC. It makes a rough in look so much cleaner.
Haha I didn't even remember doing that 😂
Upside down though ☹️ letters out and legible is a requirement from inspectors by me
Nice work on the tub drain and overflow.
Thank you!
Found your this vid pretty useful as i hv exactly similar washroom in my basement. In fact got the same 3side wall on tub from home depot too👍
Glad I could help 🤘
love the place your building
Thanks a lot!
Some states in usa goes irc plumbing codes , some others Upc codes.
By upc codes that 1 1/2"trap arm for the vanity can not be extended more than 42" from the vent tee and also you can't use more than 90 degrees, otherwise you need to install a cleanout
I also installed a check valve vent under the sink which is legal when further than 6ft from the vent in my area.
Awesome. 😃😃😃
Bro!!! Yo frame-game Krazy!!!!❤😊😂,🔥🔥🔥💯👏
Thank you!
Doing this exact thing today, you’re process is exactly what I needed to see thank you
Glad I could help, good luck!
Nice work. Cant wait to see the 1st poop video!
😂😂
Put a vent grate In the closet at the bottom of the tub. Can make a great hiding spot
🤔🤔
Fantastic job. Great diy project. I didn't see a p trap on the tub but assuming it was down there from the rough in process. Those white main lines...are they pex A or B? You may have mixed them and they will leak soon.
Thanks! From everything I could tell they were the same version I used, since everything fit in the exact same manner on the fittings and I checked all crimp connections with the gauge.
Another great video, the rubber couplings are called ferncos. Did you drop your sink drain a 1/4 " per foot ? Nice work on the tub drain that was cool.
Thanks a lot and yes I dropped it 1/4" per foot.
Do you not need a trap/u-bend between the bath sewer connection and the bottom of the bath? What stops sewage smells coming back up?
Yes, there is already one below the slab 👍
Do you have some sort of manifold somewhere in order to shut off water to select sections? Might have been nice to stuff one in the wall space near there and have an access panel.
I have a few valves at my pressure tank/ water heater. So I can shut off just living space or garage.
Great job as usual. What bath surround kit did you use?
Thank you! I forget the brand but I think it was something like aloha style from home depot
i noticed a clean out cap by the bottom plate on the wall where the vent stack is. Will you be placing an access door for that on other side of that wall.
I haven't yet but always could. It was sitting behind drywall on the previous setup as well
A lot of nice work done there! A few things that need to be fixed though with the washroom to be code. The trap arm for the sink is too long for the diameter pipe for 1.5" pipe, the length has to be 6" or less. And the direction can't change more than 130 degrees.
There also either needs to be a window or a vent fan that can handle the volume of air in the bathroom.
I installed a check valve vent under the sink which is okay in my state. And yeah I installed a vent fan above the shower. Thanks!
Nice
nice
Good video
Thanks!

you having good luck with those clamp rings? I have the different style i was planning on using but have heard i shouldnt
From my research these are the safest way to go vs the other clamping rings. I've had no issues with these.
Do you need to pressure test the water lines? Or if it isn't leaking it it good?
It's a good idea to pressure test with compressed air and a gauge over a certain period of time.
I see only half inch lines ( hot and cold ) in my basement . If I take a water supply from half inch lines for the basement bathroom and kitchen , is there any water pressure issue ?
That should be fine. Mine were 3/4 because it was the main lines coming from the water heater/ pressure tank.
Was there a P trap that was roughed in for the tube/shower? If not, you’ll be getting sewer smell coming from the tube drain.
Yes of course there was a p trap under the slab. I had pictures of when it was built but also made sure. Yeah that would smell horrible 😂
No tub ledger, 2x4 under the long side to support the tub and keep tile from separating from tub lip
The tub is steel and screwed directly to the studs. I followed the manufacturer instructions.
Is it normal to not put the bathroom rated drywall behind the shower wall inserts?
These shower walls are meant to secure directly to studs. If you were to do tile you would likely put up cement board first.
Pex A feed to Pex B line ?
Is the plan still to make the “attic” the master later on?
Yes!
nice job anyone know where can i buy the walls for bathtub?
Home Depot! Thanks 🤘
The gap is normal for pocket doors in case the header ever sags so the door doesn’t get stuck.
It wasn't possible to attach it with how big the gap was
👍
🤘👍
Where are the vents for the vanity?
AAC check valve under the sink. Legal in my area
What's the point in the 3/4 line down to the tub fill? If 1/2" is going into your valve 3/4" out wont increase the gpm for the fill spout?
If you don't do that, water will come out of the shower head when you fill the tub.
Your valve directs the water. Not the pipe. I'm not sure what you mean...@@Kordare
The valve has no control over what goes up and down, hence why you need to pull the pin on the spout to direct water to the head.
I never said up or down. I said the valve directs the water.
(valve: a device for controlling the passage of fluid or air through a pipe, duct, etc., especially an automatic device allowing movement in one direction only.)
I understand how the diverter works. My question was, why did you use 3/4" pipe from the valve to the tub spout instead of 1/2" pipe? Your answer was that if you don't use 3/4" pipe (If you don't do that) from the valve to the tub spout it will come out of the shower head?
@@Kordare
Please do not think I am trying to argue with you. I'm only seeking clarification as I'm trying to educate myself.@@Kordare
Please give us update if it pass inspection by the authorities.
U should explain what high for eqch individuals pipe. Cause dumy like me wont know 😅
What do you mean?
Using pex for the tub spout connection will restrict this line due to its smaller inner diameter and often will cause a drip from the shower head while the tub is being run. Should be run in copper.
That's why I used 3/4 pex for the tub spout. This is fully finished now and I can tell you it doesn't cause any drip when used.
Could also use PexA instead of B… uses flex connectors instead of crimps - no restrictions
@@wrenchboostboi8994 that’s actually not true. Both pex a and pex b have fittings that insert into the pipe which restrict the flow. Copper fittings go over the pipe for example and do not restrict flow.
@@i.bleed.green.2081naaw it is true… pex B fittings are much smaller due to the fact of having to fit into the inside diameter of the pex pipe, minus the width of the fitting walls as well. This makes a pexB fitting restrict flow by about 1/3 the normal rate. Pex A fittings are made so the fitting fits exact to the inside diameter of the pipe, so all that you lose is the fittings wall width - which would restrict flow by a much lesser extent. A pexB fitting would literally fit inside a pexA fitting… the size difference is not negligible.
@@wrenchboostboi8994 I’ve personally installed pex A on a tub spout and had the result in speaking of.
There might be a difference in diameter but it still causes an issue. That’s why everyone, including the video maker, goes another direction.

trap arm for the sink is over code length from vent
Yeah I added a check valve vent under the sink
@@Kordare I heard you say that in the video. Some states only allow Air admitted valve in a island sink
my state does allow it in this situation.
Never seen a wye on a tub drain before.
I got creative 😅
Plastic walls in the shover?
I believe they are actually fiberglass
Not sure if there is a "fart fan" in there might want to consider it to reduce humidity in the bathroom, as far as your sink drain you essentially created a wet vent for your tub and im not sure but I hope there's a p trap in the ground for the tub drain . You used a nice copper stubout for your toilet but not the lavatory? Anyhow overall good clean work
Yes I installed a vent fan in here. I installed a check valve vent under the sink, and yes there is a p trap under the concrete for the tub. Used copper for the toilet because it is left exposed, more prone to potential sunlight or getting hit. Thanks!
@Kordare great work and really good video. Thank you for letting us in your home
The word “coupler” just really boils my blood
Haha sorry I'm not a plumber
You pull a permit 🤫
Sure
trap arm for your sink exceeds maximum distance
I installed a check valve vent under the sink
Microplastics!
Yes sir!
Amerikanische Wertarbeit.
You married? Asking for myself 😊😊❤❤
No arrestors, shover valve to high, no p trap 🤔
Why would this need an arrestor? I placed the valve where I wanted it... There is a p trap under the concrete don't worry.
Hack
Thank you!
Hopefully you don't have a drought. Then the rodents will chew the pex for water. We see that in cal .
Yeah I'm not in a drought area, I'm in the Northeast
Personally where the toilet will be I would have the double sink vanities instead and where the sink is going to be at I would have the toilet Just more privacy
Unfortunately with the drains in the concrete I'm pretty stuck with what I have. But I think it will work out
