Glad it was helpful!

LMAO. I forgot I said that, so unprofessional....lol

I'd have been annoyed too. Plenty of times I've had to use offset slip joint fittings, with a extension on top of it, because of a design change, or a oversight; doesn't matter, does it leak?!?

Exactly!

Yeah, I really should alter that in my descriptions.

It's worth a try. The professional atmosphere you offer, while yet being casual, is definitely more conducive to the learning process than much of what else I've filtered through. The only other objective criticism I can give is, the audio chop. When you turn the volume up, to drown out the distracting, annoying banter of our loved ones, you get that static. It's outside my wheelhouse, but I wonder if there is a way to preserve the video, while filtering it out. I am absolutely willing to grin and bear it personally, but people sure can be persnickity. Obviously something only to think about, when things are slow. At any rate, grateful for what you're giving, thank you Ben.

I've since gotten a mic. The original reason for the videos were to perform my lectures during covid isolation.

That's fantastic! What state was your exam in?

@@BGsPlumbingClass Iowa state

Iowa is lucky to have you!

HAHAHAHA!!!!

I'm not 100% sure as to what you are asking, but if you could be a bit more specific- like your total dfu demand- maybe we can start from there.

I will answer this based on the Uniform Plumbing Code, which is what I am regulated by. Section 1001.2 says "Each domestic clothes washer and each each laundry tub (tray) shall be connected to a separate and independent trap, except that a trap serving a laundry tub (tray) shall be permitted to receive the waste from a clothes washer set adjacent to it." So in other words, I would not be able to legally perform that type of connection, nor would I want to. That very same code section says that not more than one trap is allowed per trap arm. If the laundry tub (tray) is ran into the stand pipe would there be no trap under the tub (tray)? In this scenario if there is then it violates the code, if there isn't then it violates the code. So therefore this scenario can not occur. Again this is the UPC. You may use a different code. Kyle, didn't you tell me before where you were out of, or am I thinking of someone else?

Philly?

@@BGsPlumbingClass thanks so much for the quick response and yes I’m from Philadelphia using the IPC and actually just found it in the code book and it actually allows you to do it in the IPC. Crazy how 2 codes say totally different things but yet it’s still all plumbing

@@kyleleaper8334 Yep, I keep meaning to get the IPC for my own information. I still contend though that even though your code allows it, it may not be the best practice. From all previous comparisons between the two codes, for the most part the UPC is stricter- with both being almost identical the majority of the time.

Short answer is no. However, looking into these a bit further I can see that it is no more than a glorified floor sink and see no reason why it shouldn't. The idea behind it is quite interesting. Where are you geographically?

@@BGsPlumbingClass Middle East, thanks for the reply

@@zulquarnain86 You are welcome.

Thank you for the blessing! Which drawings were you referring to? Bless you and yours as well.

Thanks!

The Uniform Plumbing Code is used in many States. Here in California we've been using it for several decades. I've a list of codes used in the states if you would like to know any of these I could relay that to you. There are several similarities between the two primary Codes used in the States with little differing between them.

@@BGsPlumbingClass I’m in Florida and there are some differences. When I watch your videos I try to fellow along with the Florida Building Code Plumbing 7th Edition. I do appreciate your videos and I’m sure others do as well.

@@tonyhddodge4282 Florida adopts the International Plumbing Code I believe, which definitely has a few differences- especially the distances required for the trap arms.

@@BGsPlumbingClass Yes, you are correct.

Since our last communication, I have fled the state of California to much greener pastures. I am now in East Tennessee and working under the IPC. I have to say something about this code. OMG!!! Agonizing.

Absolutely! My pleasure.

Yeah. I bought a microphone. Sorry about that
