As a plumber, if you caulk all the way around the bottom of the toilet, and the wax rings fails, then the water will have nowhere to go and you will never know that it has failed. Never caulk all the way around the toilet.

Simply plumbing perfection. I did two of these yesterday. I came out of retirement to help a younger brother with his work load. For only a couple of months. That was 3 years ago LOL. I have been asked to train a number of new hires. Funny most think they know everything after a few months. I enjoyed.

For some reason, that was relaxing. When I usually watch others do plumbing videos they either feel like a commercial, empty, or as if they were dead inside.

I think it’s awesome your teaching your son the trade. I work for my father in NC and I am an unlimited license plumber at 24 years old. I enjoy it. Not for everybody but tons of opportunities

I'm re-installing 7 stools tomorrow at my church after a flooring job. We went with all new sloan valves, and this video was very helpful. thanks!

Awesome channel man. Your sons are very lucky to have you around and also to be able to teach them not only plumbing but how to run a plumbing business. I’m also a Barron from the west coast 🤘

New installs are usually very simple following the correct order of parts. I had one sensor valve not working out of the box. I quickly changed it to a manual and it flushed just fine. I changed the brand new out of the box batteries and the sensor worked. Its always something.

Thanks for all the great videos..not a plumber just a diy guy... lots of great tips and entertaining videos, keep em coming...

Fantastic, great to see a passionate plumber I’m a huge Sloan Valve fan.

Got to install 4 of these tomorrow for a clinic first time alone wish me luck guys 🙌🏻

Great job! Nice to watch someone else install Sloan valves besides me. lol. In my area (Central KY), the ZURN flush valves are popular and less expensive.

Learned a lot from watching you!! I do this all day and come home and watch your videos! Plumb on! 💪🏻

I’m a 5th year apprentice and I did my first one today your video is spot on 🔥

Top shelf quality video

Passed my work keys test for plumber/pipefitter apprenticeship and now got an interview in 3 weeks!

Nice job Chuck!

Good blessed day today mi amigo

Thought i was the only one that loved the smell of new parts!

for the Closet Bolt Question I prefer 6" Channel Locks and to cut them loose or cut off excess I use a Cordless Angle Grinder (18v Red or 20v Yellow Brands) with a Cut Off Wheel.

Thank you for doing the "boop!" on both closet bolts! :)

I somehow won a battle with my wife and we are adding a urinal in our basement bathroom. Thank your for this video, I was able to assemble the sloan valve we got even though it didn't come with instructions!

I saved tons of money on calling a plumber just by watching your videos!

I have never used caulk on the bottom of a toilet before setting it on the flange. Seems like a pretty neat idea. Only problem I would foresee is the toilet leaking from the wax ring after you set it. It can get pretty messy to re-pull the toilet to check the problem out with all that fresh caulk you just applied. Just my thoughts.

I like Sloan and zurn flushometers

nice job chucky

Nice install of an American standard Madera!

"I love Sloan parts, especially when they're new." Hahaha

Excellent videoclip. I'd like to view the same, but only next time installing either an American Standard Afwall millennium, Crane Placidus or Kohler Stratton wall mounted commercial flushometer toilet in either 1.6 or 3.5 gpf sloan regal xl 115 flushometer valve.

Nice job again Boys! How about that tamper proof cover? I use a gear wrench on those Johnny bolts. "Got the shots" until next time.....plumb on!

The only thing i hate about sloan valves is the black cover for no reason will start to leak. Nice job Cb, i use the pass thru ratchet to tighten the toilet bolts, and for the toilet seat

Will you make a video of installing a Sloan sensor flushometer?

Good job boys!. Hey lee what did u think about them channel locks? lol hahahahah

Thanks

The escutcheon set screw should be facing the floor. Isn't it best to leave a gap in the caulk under the toilet toward the rear so you can see any leak in the wax seal?

Blue monster Teflon 🤘🏻 good stuff..

Question: I have a couple of new toilets and seats to install in a commercial building, and do you know if it’s legal or not to install closed front toilet seats w/ lids (like the ones in your house) or do we have to use open front ones?

14 toilets, sounds like cb2 has a good boost to the liquor fund!

You know that I can install on TOTO CT705 and American Standard Madera? I can buy the TOTO Auto Ecoflush. This may hold the button longer when these 2 toilets flushes. Just like Zurn Omniflo Aquavantage Urinal.

Most of us in my area use a product called set fast no cut toilet bolts they're 5/16 and they use a two-piece design and the stud does not have to be cut, you ought to check them out, saves time and that translates to saving money, not to mention getting upset in tight spaces keep up the good work

Ay tell CB2 don’t be soft.. AND THERE GOES ANOTHER SATISFIED CUSTOMER!!!! 🤙😎🤑🏄

Those American standard toilet bowls are called maderas! I have one in my toilet collection! It has a flushometer and everything. Check it out on my channel!

2:55 2:59 I heard him say good morning

Looks good, I’ve never caulked a toilet before setting it, looks like a real good seal I’ll have to try it!

Chuck, do you ever do a lot of underground work? I’ve been looking for a video for my new apprentices on groundwork, grading a ditch, measuring and accurately installing fixture stub-ups (like installing the underground work before the slab is even poured,no walls up). I’m a plumbing instructor, and explaining it to them on a white board seems to be tough to get the concepts across. I don’t want to call their journeymen complacent, but let’s just say that they don’t take the time in showing them this. Instead, the apprentices are tasked with backfilling ditches and being gopher’s for fittings, pipe, and glue. Do you have any videos for new construction start to finish underground work? Their seems to be videos for everything else on KZfaq, but underground plumbing installation techniques seems to fall into a black hole on KZfaq.

Everytime I have used that slip washer I get a leak. I use a dab if lube and I'm good.

What company makes that wax ring?

Subscribed

What toilets used to be in the building?

This may sound weird but when I get my own place I’m thinking about getting a flushometer toilet installed

How many liters does use for flush?

You forgot to tighten the pipe escutcheon to the wall! Other than that I love watching a pro at work!!

Is it possible to attach a bidet or Muslim shower to a flushometer?

wow that's some ceiling tiles above that cubicle lol

😀👍

CB I was taught never to silicone the entire base of the toilet cause u will never know if there is a small leak from the flange or wax seal. What are your thoughts?

Where is this place it looks like a house

Should have wrote on bathroom wall. "Looking for a good plumber call Barron"

American standard madera

CB-1 I didn't see you tighten up the set screw for the a scussion plate lol I see everything. Peace brother

Never saw anybody call a toilet that way , not saying it's wrong.

This kind of toilet, the Madera from American Standard, seems to get a ton of unnecessary hate...

I collect flushometers for fun I can rebuild a flushometer in like 1 minuet and I am 17

You never put silicone on the contour of the base of the toilet, because it traps moisture and the soil can rot. The wax plumbing donut does all the work of sealing.

Invest in a knipex plier wrench, you'll save time and don't beat up the chrome parts ;)

Open plumbers discussion

For the size of the asses now a days they’re going to have to start making the seat a four bolt install….

You should cover the chrome before you put a pipe wrench on it so you don’t mar the finish. Looks better. Just my two cents

Why would you ever caulk the bottom of a toilet . Toilets are made to have repairs done , caulking them you have to start cutting the caulk to rip the toilet out and if it’s caulked and sealed and the toilet is leaking you won’t know because the caulk is sealing the leak . Stupid move , rookie mistake

This sucks. If you can't hear your plumb out of luck
