Thanks for the demonstration of competency. I had all of the moving parts figured out but watching you actually get it done is a huge, huge confidence booster. I guess that I should post SSIS videos!

Really liked your video, clear and concise, thank you.

I’ve done this installation and yours is the best video on KZfaq. It beats the one by Rich T. from ‘This Old House’ - great work.

This helped me do a similar installation. Thanks a lot!!!

Great explanation thanks !

This was so helpful, thank you

I did not know about cavitation effects! Thanks!

Best video I've found on KZfaq Thanks

This video was so helpful! Genius. Had a quote from a plumber that i thought seemed high, but after watching this, I realized that the quote was completely reasonable! Thank you Brian, im so greatful that you took the time to do this for everyone! Great job with this! This job is definitely not in our skill set...yet. Lol! Maybe some day!

Nice job. I'm getting ready to do something similar. Keep on tackling those projects, the knowledge is priceless.

Great video, I am about to do the same project but will be putting the supply and drain lines in a wall so I can cover them with dry wall for a more finished look.

Some really good advice in this--e.g., @2:34. Thanks.

nice jobs ....thanks

Thank you

Brian thanks for the video, this is exactly what I wanted, except that I have a bathroom rough-in made while we pour the concrete for basement and want the drain connect to it instead of the pump.

Does this have to be Vented ?

By far the best plumbing install video on KZfaq! Thank you!

I think it would be better to install another ball valve above the check valve. You can hold waste water from above In case you need to change the check valve.

Very helpful video. I still think I'm gonna mess this up, but it won't be your fault!

I am just going to add the check valve and ball valve. amazingly my set up seems to have neither. May eventually replace everything minus the water lines in yer video. Very informative, part im doing seems like it will be very easy. One question, you linked the quality check valve, im assuming any ball valve is pretty much going to be good enough since its a simple device?

5:06, Just a note: soldering over plastic can be a hazard due to the burning hot solder if it comes in contact with the plastic, as it can burn a hole into or right through the plastic surface, so be careful & conscious as well

Nice, neat. Hired help not so much. Does every utility sink require a pump? ( I would like to install one in the garage. But I have to start from scratch. The laundry room is behind the wall and there's a drain, hot and cold water. But I want it on an adjacent wall 20' from the convenient wall.)

Nice video. Any reason to not use a 90degree sweep at the top of the drain stack (instead of two 45’s)?

You should have kept it the way you had it the correct orientation coming off of the pump should be check valve and then the ball valve for servicing on top of the check valve in case you ever have to service the check valve or the pump

Thanks for video, looks great! Is it required to have the ball valve after the check valve?

Great video! I wonder why these pumps are always sold with a ball valve? Why doesn't the company just make a smaller motor. This seems to be a problem with every utility pump sold.

Interesting, My question though, so technically everything above the ball valve/check valve is still full of water then? or does it syphon itself? My drain line is actually about only 4-5 feet off the ground, and it has an open feed where the dishwasher dumps into, I was thinking about using a T fitting into that. Luckily my house is all pex so no copper or solder for me.

Tru professional

Brasilian bosses are tough!

you need to use a wye not a tee wye when connecting to your horizontal line

My laundry room is right below my kitchen. What is the potential for the laundry to back up to the kitchen sink with this drain method?

How do i convert laundry draining into laundry tub to a standpipe set up?

Usually the check valve is before the ball valve for servicing purpose. I really don’t recommend this pumps. Get one with a holding tank. Throttling the output is asking for trouble.

I need this in my house!! I don't have a ball valve, my pump is hooked up to a small copper discharge pipe and the pump goes on and off continuously, but doesn't go on until the tub is almost full. Of course, the tub overflows and I have as mess! I can't find anyone to install a new one.

Brian - great video. I am going to try this on my own. with help of your video. Do you have any suggestions on type of pump specifice?

Good video. TY......I'm doing the same and I'm wondering what kind of pump I can use. Can you please tell me where can I buy that pum ?

When he first came in, I was like "ahhhh a ghost!"

Thanks for the video. If I go with the "better" pump with holding tank, do I still need the ball valve? Since the pump won't be throttling? Two other questions: 1. where is the P-trap? do I need one? 2. do you think the better pump can be plugged into the same outlet as a washing machine? probably high amp draw.

Great video - were you safe having your check valve at that height? It looks higher than the sink. My concern is when I do mine that the water before the check valve would run back down to the pump after it had finished cycling, and cause me issues. Seems that isn't happening with your installation. Is there enough room in the pump for that extra water?

What’s the make and model of the pump

You're supposed to leave the soldered joint alone while letting it cool down. Otherwise, you can end up creating small cracks and end up with leaks later.

Double the cost in 2023 :)

Nice. 2” pvc?

You installed your stop and waster upside down. the drain of the valve doesn't drain when it points up. Plus with the sink installed now you don't need that, just drain the line through the sink. Also you should use a sanitary wye not a t-wye on horizontal drainage. But all in all, nice job.

5:45 seu cafe ta amargo haha

What size PVC did you use for your stack assembly?

Awesome video and you discussed the exact issue that I was looking for: the quality of the check valve. I too have read the reviews of this pump kit and had the same concern about the check valve slowly leaking. I have an existing basin pump setup for my utility tub and have been thinking about replacing it with one of these under-sink pumps to get rid of the basin. However, I have only about four vertical feet between where this pump would discharge and where it connects into my main sewer line. In other words, the check valve may not have enough pressure on top of it to keep from dripping. How much pipe do you have above the check valve where it goes into the horizontal drain pipe? And you haven't had any problems with the Everbuilt check valve leaking? I saw this same valve at Home Depot this week. (My current basin pump system does have a check valve that seems to work fine but if I am replacing it I'd like to update everything while I'm at it.)

10:05, will reducing the flow with the check valve hamper the volume of water you can discharge at one time? In other words, take a sump pump for instance, it discharges all the water at once with no restriction in water flow

So I actually installed my basement sink pump using this video as a guide and it was working great for about 1 day. I noticed one issue, I believe you are supposed to have a check valve directly off the pump, not after running a few feet (especially if running up). I installed my check valve as shown in the video and all the sudden my pump just started kicking on and off every 3 seconds. After unplugging the pump I noticed that all the water running towards the check valve but not passing it was just backflowing into the pump. Im going to run to home depot to install a check valve directly to the pump, im assuming that will fix it but I wonder if now im going to have an issue with added stress on my pump because of the two check valves. I may remove the other one but ill see. Anyway, has anyone elts had this issue following this guide or is my original valve just not working?

Great video. What size pvc is that?

i just got my Everbilt 1/3 HP Utility Sink Pump. My question is. Why does it have two power cords when my old one only had one ? Thx for the tip about the gate valve, i may have to get a new one.

what do you use to burr out or sand the pvc to make clean joints? i think that's where i went wrong and have leaks

Which faucet would you have bought ??? They all seem to be plastic crap. Is that a kitchen faucet ??????

Questions we installed one. And I washed some muddy jeans that had gravel and now it smells like burnt ,is there a reset or is it fried

Would this setup pass code if you’re trying to sell a home with this pump style utility sink? I am needing to relocate washer about 15’ from it’s current location and I’m on the fence of paying big bucks to have concrete ripped up and have new drain put in to main line or go this route

How come no PTrap before or directly after the union? I know you have 1 up top

could you install the utlity sink in the garge too let know plz

Yeah, I asked a plumber once why he didn't include a union. He just picked up his hack saw and said, "Union."

Looks like you are just learning

Well done video. What is the brand and type/name of pump you used please?

What is the pump you used for sink drain. Does it come with the sink?

You don't need to vent it?

Are the supply lines 3/8" or 1/2"?

Is there no need for venting?

Can you drain into a sump pump?

Why not use SharkBite? If there is water in the pipe it’s a pain to sweat the pipes.

Where can in get that online pump

Why would you use a 2 handle valve?

I have a laundry tub that has a pump that keeps cycling. I dont have a ball valve that you turn to adjust. My piping lays horizontal. Is there a way i can put one in between them or does it have to be placed higher ?

Does this have a air vent as part of drain?

What is that pump called?

How did you vent this sink?

Good video took a lot of effort to make. But there's an inherent flaw in this. The pump impeller is so incrediy volurnable this way. ANYTHING finding its way down the drain will contact the impeller. A drain strainer inside the sink won't due either. Because that will get full of lint or other debris while the sink is full. When you go to remove it the debris will rush down the drain and into the impeller. Ours died because of this issue. The impeller kept getting jammed and I would use a long screwdriver to free the impeller jam. A bunch of bologna thus risking a pump motor fire. Its unsafe. With children little lego pieces, little rocks, and a million other things whatever, get in there.

Why doesn't anyone put the piping within their walls in the basement? Too cold? I hate seeing all this piping.

pex!

I know my comments are years after this was posted. Who solders with rubber gloves and who cuts pvc pipe with a skil saw. He presents himself as an expert. Please

Gay plumber look at those 1/2 inch copper joins he tried to make a chrome😂 look when he primed the PVC pipe he try to make a purple or what not impressed
