Enjoying one of your videos again buddy you're actually helping your client there by updating that plumbing to today's inspector standards love your videos like I said before my family's been plumbers for 50 close to 60 years I've been one for 22 years. I love when you go and fix that old cast iron and Lead plumbing and turn it new you have a great 4 of July.MEL
I saw this, and I was thinking, "how the hell is he going to do this without redoing the entire section of cast iron?" Of course you came up with a simple and elegant solution. And, NO LEAKS!
Nice job. I think santa needs to get you one of those Milwaukee M12 PVC shears and a pvc deburring tool. I think those old drum traps were pretty cool.
Good work Steven. I never seen those old traps like that, I have only seen the regular P-Traps. When I went on a trip to Scotland a few years ago when my daughter was studying there, I noticed the still use those older style traps except they were plastic the ones that I saw.
Nice job Steve, I would have fixed it the same way you did. Crazy how that drum trap basically broke apart in your hands. Lucky it didn't fall on anybody if someone where in the basement!
I see most of your work is on older homes 50 to 70 yrs,that should keep you in business for ever .My dad called those rubber connectors "boots ".With those older homes no other way to fix em up.Dam the dog is rich !!
Great fix. Could I use a clamp to connect the down pipe to the trap? The threads on the original pipe broke off inside the trap segment. Or I could just cut and replace the whole thing
We have a ton of old galvanized vents at the hospital. Did they use it back in the 60's, 70's, and early 1980's because it was required by code, or just cheaper than copper back then?
Those drum traps were great for old clawfoot tubs on legs back in the day. bygone era of plumbing for the most part. But I have saw them used in some cases in modern plumbing in certain instances. (pvc drum traps). You know there is nothing wrong with the principle of a drum trap, except they ain't "self scouring", and junk builds up in the bottom of the drum. The drum trap.here waas really no reason for the use of them unless the trap could not be accessed, those old installations of tubs on legs with a drum trap positioned correctly would allow a clean out at floor level. In the house you replaced that leaker in , looks like there were no reason for a drum trap to be there in the first place, as access was available below. Must have been the thing to do iin the day or just original installer had a good supply of them and hooked her up. Good job replacing that dinosaur. They will have much better service now with the self scouring p trap! Good vid. Save some of those old brass drum traps if you can get them out and they are not rotted out, will be a "collector item" in the future. Thanks for sharing this, I betting a lot of the younger folks never saw a drum trap before,lol,, or a harp fitting, or a whole house trap, handed starter fittings , etc,e,etc..lol, Shit , we are getting old!Shouldn't know about these old parts and pieces..lol Thumbs up!
Steve do you have any videos showing where you cut out galvanized pipe from a fitting. am replacing a shower pan and would like to cut a galvanized drain pipe at a tee that goes from the tee to the trap. I realize that I can cut the pipe and leave a stub for a fermco connector to connect to the PVC drain pipe and trap but since the pipe is 80 years old I would rather cut out the galvanized at the fitting Tee and not have a problem latter on. It took me almost a year to find matching tile and accessory tiles.
you can cut the nipple inside with a sawzall and pop it out with a large screw driver just dont cut to deep or you will mess up the threads i would make 2 cuts and pop the piece out it can be done if you take your time .
Yeah, you make a nasty drum trap job look easy!!! Was Electrolysis involved on the steel? I made a video on replacing my brass drum trap--no where as good as your video. Our trap was brass with copper pipe sweat joints. Shocked as hell when the trap fell down because the lower port was never sweated. No solder in the joint for almost 50 years!! It leaked a little. Luckily the trap did not hit me or my assistant wife. It also did not damage anything because it landed on towels my wife wisely set up. Lucky. I noticed you put your hand on that thing for sure on removal.
may have been easier to replace the tub waste and overflow and use a 1 1/2 × 2" trap adapter extend to your p trap, cut few inches beyond cast hub attach with 2" no hub coupling, instead of on the nipple, just my thoughts
+HardLuckGTV Its a drum trap. They were installed on tubs a long time ago and are illegal in some states. The p trap will clean its self when the tub is used and will be easy to snake.
Could have replaced the waste and overflow on that tub. It depends alot on the customer. Maybe could have cut that cast iron hub out and put the no- hub further down. It would have been more work to cut the cast. The leaks fixed though.
Will choose a Milwaukee sawzall over any other brand, no brainer.. Mrs Claus got me one a few years ago. This year I spoke to Mrs Claus directly via pillow talk for a E-350 van, hope to find a E-350 sedan [Benz] in driveway instead.
My dad was a plumber in the 60's and he had a Milwaukee sawzall and 1/2 drill. Them tools were built like a tank, he had 18 inch blades for the sawzall. He had to cut through 12 x 12 sills sometimes but it never stop d. Back then they had a unlimited lifetime warranty, anything went out they would replace it. Onetime the switch went out on the drill he sent it in and when it came back he thought it was a new one. The chuck was a little nicked up, they replaced it, changed the brushes, re greased the gears, put a new cord on and buffed the housing (back then they were cast aluminum). He ID'ed it as his from the S/N plate. Another thing they used universal motors, they ran on AC OR DC
Anybody that has the ability to 'eyeball' correctly is lucky. I'm always 1/2" off. Anyone can tell me what that circular saw is? I have a similar saw, but very small disk, doesn't do all of the jobs. Thanks.
Wow rotted to the core! Looks good now. You cooking for Thanksgiving Steve? If you are, I hope you do a working man's Thanksgiving eats video. Hopefully it will be a day of rest for you with no calls.
I Wonder if anyone else has ever heard showers running just after you started your shower, while living in a apartment complex. Has anyone else noticed that even when you close your tub drain and put a drain stopper to keep the water in while you soak your feet, drain is still leaking out water, because I can hear water flowing through the drain even when the water off, and the drain is plugged, and the drain lever is turned to stop, yet water is still going down the tub drain. I noticed that even when I Did this, I noticed that I could hear water draining, even when I closed my drain and placed a drain stopper in my apartment tub it continued to allow water to drain. I live alone and I just wondered why this happens and if anyone else has experienced this problem before.

old barrel trap, haven't seen one of those in a long time, great job Steve
Understand from some older plumbers... that old barrel traps can be a good source for lost vintage jewelry....:-)

Nice work man as always. That was some heavy duty trap from back when. Nice piece of scrap there
This was exactly what I need to do to my bath drain. Thanks, this was very helpful.

D' Melo Murillo Now you need to take an English course to learn grammar.
You made quick work of that. My old trap appears to be lead but this one looked like brass.
Hunk of brass drum trap will fetch a nice chunk of change at the scrap yard .
Professional job Steven

Nice work Steve

Awesome video Steve
You made short work of that situation, Nice
Nice job Mr. Lav
Nice fix Steve. Looks like the rest of that pipe is pretty old too.
Man's best friend or helper.
yes for sure
Great fix. Could I use a clamp to connect the down pipe to the trap? The threads on the original pipe broke off inside the trap segment. Or I could just cut and replace the whole thing
Good job Steven
Good work Steve. Do you see many drum traps like that? I had 2 of them in my house, 1 for the shower and 1 for the tub but they were a lot smaller.
We have a ton of old galvanized vents at the hospital. Did they use it back in the 60's, 70's, and early 1980's because it was required by code, or just cheaper than copper back then?
Nicely done.............. Have a great Thanksgiving Steven

Are there any legitimate uses for galvanized in plumbing beside filling the scrap bin? Seems like it is often the source of trouble.
You did a great job

Nice job
next level, mama. nice video,steve
That was one crazy trap. Good work. What year do you think that trap was?
good video, cleanup those burs after cutting...
Good job.
Do you turn off the water at the main before doing it? Or it doesn’t matter this it’s the drain portion
Are you using primer and glue? What brand? Ever use Christies?
I wonder why not cut off the hub to the right, the bell?
Nice work
About how much should this exact work cost? I have this issue currently
simple repair and you have to dry fit ???

+DOLRED no the steel just rotted away not designed to be under water all the time

wow very old plumbing, what's the tank thing you sawed off? at 2:00 mark on the video?
+HardLuckGTV Its a drum trap. They were installed on tubs a long time ago and are illegal in some states. The p trap will clean its self when the tub is used and will be easy to snake.
never seen that kind of trap before
Oops correction. JR Smith (roof drains & chair carriers) not HB Smith (boilers)
Could have replaced the waste and overflow on that tub. It depends alot on the customer. Maybe could have cut that cast iron hub out and put the no- hub further down. It would have been more work to cut the cast. The leaks fixed though.
can you give me a part number for the tool you use to ream out 3 inch pvc fittings

Should have at least taken the cast iron bell out man...that’s clog city
You scare me with that grinder, nothing is safe from being cut out lol
Why u were gloves lol
Don't they allow traps with "union nut " on them in your state , it would be so much easier.
