Best and most complete tub install video by far.. one thing everyone missed is the stud that is there to be removed to make room for the tub to fit.. great job

I realize this video is three years old but you just saved me a huge hassle with your drain marking tip and your “remove the stud trick.” Thank you very much.

I get a kick out of the guys who think unless you are licensed, you are incapable of doing anything. Maybe I should get a license to change a light bulb. Remember the saying; You can't please all the people all the time (and why even try). Dan does a nice job of explaining how to install a tub and I'm sure that he appreciates constructive comments on ways he can improve, as nobody is perfect. It's very low class when you have jerks, professional or otherwise, make denigrating comments about how you do things ( as if they were perfect). Keep the vids coming, dude and don't let negative comments make you down.

Not big on commenting on videos, but this one is by far the best I've seen, including commercial company's. Bravo and thank you.

I want to thank you for taking the time while you’re working and filming this helping people learn something new and God bless and stay safe

Oh my gosh! You saved me so much headache and I wish I would have viewed this before trying to fit the tub in the first time! The 2x4 installed just for the flange gave me a sore back. 2x4 removed, smooth as butter!!! Thank you!!!!!

I've been doing this for many years, and have an upcoming install with no access. Your template idea is a lifesaver! Tha ks for the clear and concise video

This is the absolute best video exposing a bathtub install. Thank you.

You are an AMAZING instructor!! Love the drawings of the behind the scenes tub!! Helps tremendously to understand better and to know what we are working with!! I've watched the whole bathroom reno series a million times to get it solid in my head. With your excellent tutorials, I'm feeling confident I can do this!! Mahalo nui(much thanks) from a humble gal in Hawaii. Wish me luck embarking on a bathroom reno!!

This is so good and clear! Thank you so much for taking your time in doing this video.

Really very nice of you to be so detailed in your instructional video. That was a serious classroom lesson right there. Thanks a lot. I subscribed immediately. 👍🏼

Holy crap.. my back got hurt just watching this video... i donno how u move that bathtub in and out so many times... but ur work is ur reputation... and u hav good reputation Dan!

This taught me one thing. I’m popping the drywall off the other side of the drain. Easier and I for sure can get to the plumbing. Then installing a access panel.

great job! very helpful and great directions on lining up the drains, which is the hardest part! Gave me the confidence to do the job myself!

I respect the level of explanation in this video. Thanks!

Really enjoyed your whiteboard session/explanation before showing the step by step installation. Very helpful!!

Wow, finally! a comprehensive, to the point easy to follow instructional! thank you for sharing. I watched a few others already to include wasting my time on one that lasting 39 minutes, 32 of which was stupid small talk even to tell me not to install a "T" upside down!

I love the sideview drawing explanation, very useful video

Very professional well said and demonstrated. Thank you from Oahu, Hawaii Aloha!

Very clear instructions, looking forward to replacing my tub. Thanks.

Man this is such a great video. So professional and thorough!

I know nothing about installing bathtubs, but this tutorial was amazing. I'd probably still screw up, but this video would still motivate me to give it a go. Thanks.

Thank you! Your tutorials are very clear and easy to understand. You take the guesswork out of this project that might otherwise be very intimidating!

Great viseo for installing a bath tube. O have done in new construction, but never in a remodel situation. I appreciated your discussion about being able to remove the old tub and bringing the new one in at an angle. This will apply to my next job. Thanks.

Awesome video👏🏿. Had all the info I needed. My installation went smoothly. Thanks for the help man 👍🏿👍🏿

Excellent job! Both really good work and excellent explanation 👍👍👍

Excellent! very thorough instructions. Thanks for posting.

Excellent video Dan. You explain This install like I teach apprentices in the hvac world. Nice job and keep up the great work.

Good information friend

This was so thorough and you pointed out a lot of things other videos I've been watching have not! Thanks man! (And I mean really, a lot of the other videos I've seen have been like YA JUST TAKE OUT THE OLD ONE SLAP IN THE NEW ONE BADA BING without any of the other thoroughness and the things to watch out for (like not tightening too hard) thank you so much!

Great video, glad to see you used silicon instead of plumbers putty. A lot of plumbers dont realize that putty drys out and cracks, only good for 5-10 years. Had to fix so many drains because of it.

Great job young man. I am impressed with this really good video. Thank you.

Wow, this video is amazing! Everything I needed to know to replace my alcove tub. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

EXCELLENT DIY video! Tons of great info! Subscribed!

I am about to hire a contractor to renovate my bathroom and did not know the correct bathtub installation procedure. After watching your excellent & informative step-by-step video I will now be able to spot-check the contractor and be able to determine if the installation is being done correctly. Thank you for your excellent how-to video !!!

When inserting the ABS joints, ALWAYS MAKE AT LEAST A QUARTER TURN. the spread the solvent cement to prevent leaks.

You are a good instructor. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for this video man fr it’s time I put my big boy pants on and tackle this bathroom

Dude you did a great job!!!!!

How can I do this with an old porcelain tub from 1951? Also a slab house with no basement. I have no idea how they fastened it. I dont' think I want to know.

Thanks Dan...about to replace a tub...very easy to follow along. Cheers.

Nice Indepth install for us that are not plumbers.

what a great video ! you just pushed me to want to take on my bathroom remodel myself.

thank you this video helped me a lot...

One important factor also is the type and material of the tubs. I’ve encountered some super flimsy tubs and ended up having to support the base with thinset.

amazing video. very helpful. love the initial diagram.

Very informative video. Thank you so much

Nice job. Clear and practical.

Thank you for this valuable information, you make it seem easy and not complicated at all. Wish me luck! :) I'll be doing this project by myself this month.

Excellent video plain and simple so easy to understand and follow. Thank you.

Great instructional video. Keep making vids.

Thank you Dan. Your video was quite informative!!

excellent tutorial!

Thank you! Your tutorials are very clear and easy to understand.

I am remodeling my bathroom so that tool would be a blessing.

Great video man! this video was super helpful.

I long ago was in construction in many aspects. This was a good refresher, thank you.

You rule. thank you for this fantastic video!

Very well done. Thanks.

Good video.!! Wow thank you ha ha that drain right left is something I never thought of. Could be an expensive mistake or have to take it back to the store.

Thank you! You saved me hundreds of dollars..

Dang, you actually demonstrated what to so with the studs allowing the tub to fit! Thank you. Everyone else cuts to the tub already installed.

Great video and very well explained!!

This type of job will definitely give you a sense of completion. ... I'm hiring a plumber

Dan, I thoroughly enjoyed your informative video. Thank You for sharing.

You're awesome man. Best "how to" on youtube. Keep on rocking it and before you know it i'll be able to build a house after watchin you.

Wow! Excellent presentation - even I understood this and I hate DIY stuff

Thanks for the great video!

I’ve always been scared of bathtubs so this give me reassurance I won’t fall through the floor 😂

Good job. Enjoyed the video. Thanks for the information. 09:30 am Sat. 09/22/2023

Good consistent progress.

Excellent, outstanding. " Muy instructivo". THANKS.

beautiful diargram- im going from a surround plastic tub to a regular tub. do i need to put any framing together ? im intimidating installing the overflow drain / plumbing part. the drain plug cross bars are corroded away too, i guess i have to hit it loose with a screw diver? the bathtub plumbng alone is wortth hiring someone, i wouldnt want to do that wrong and have leaks.

Another great video, thank you.

Thank you so much !! You save my money almost $1400 !!

I don't know how I got to this video but it was very very informative.

I think the one important notation thats missing is how to make sure you dont snag the rest of the plumping in the wall when yanking the tub like that. Otherwise, the rest of the video is confidence inspiring. I just got a Elijer jetted soaking tub from my local Habitat for Humanity that im going to try installing 💪

Appreciate you dan!

You made it look so easy.Great video sir.

Great clear B video - Visuals!

Excellent DIY video. You were very clear and precise. One of the best I've ever watched. I want to replace our steel one with another cast or steel tub but deeper. It will be complete gut job because the tub has overflowed several times over the kitchen from the previous owner and once by our kids. After watching this, I need to decide if I should leave the tub replacement to the experts. I'm thinking yes, but now I have to find one who is an actual quality installer.

very straight forward and clear

Love your approach with the drawing thank you!

Gracias..me sirvio de mucho

very good video. very helpful

Wonderful work 💪👷👏👌🙌👍

very good bro!!!

Thanks for the video! Looks easy to follow even for a very newbie DIYer. I have a small bathroom to renovate (bathtub+shower+vanity+toilet) and I was mostly intimidated by the tub. I guess because I was worried about not having access underneath (I don't see any access on the floor below). But this just gave me the confidence to do this job. I will be looking at your other videos for inspiration and information! Quick questions if you ever see this: - isn't the silicon sealant making it harder to remove the bathtub or the drain later on, assuming there are leaks and needs a redo? - I saw you glued the abs drain to the P-trap. I assume you cut the older drain connecting to the P-trap. What type of tool do you recommend to use to cut the ABS if access to the P-trap is very limited? (don't know yet if that's the case, but I've seen something like this while doing the vanity in a different bathroom and it was a pain to cut the ABS with my reprocicating saw)

Bro, thank you do much. Best video I've seen on tub installations and you answered just about all my questions. Only one that I have is if a mortar bed is recommended. I see that you didn't use one so I don't think it is but just making sure I do it right the first time. The tub I'm using is acrylic. Keep up the great work and please keep the videos coming.

Great video! Thanks Dan.

Ecelent video thank you

Thanks for the step by step

well done my friend! that was the best video in every way! I appreciate the effort

Thank you this was inspiring

Very good explanation

In a mortar bed, place a plastic sheet over the wet mortar. Then set the tub in. Makes removal a breeze.

Great video. Getting ready to do this. However on a concrete slab so drain situation a bit different. One note I learned in my research. Some manufacturers void warranty if you drill through flange. I get if done correctly not an issue. But id be weary doing it in cheaper acrylic tubs. Fender washer and screw above. But this video helped huge with stud removal. Thanks

Awsome video thx man

I love to watch how to do thgs like this and I'm a woman!😊 Great video and so thorough

You love your silicone lol 😂 Great Job
