I found thia video because we just bought a house and discovered that the "smooth operating" old drain lever is actually broken, presumably with the float/plug stuck in the down position. This video was SUPER helpful and I think I can attempt the repair on my own. Thanks!

Iam a carpenter,but i watch your vidios on plumbing,You rock you show what to do, no stupid funny shit,or blasting music, Keep doning what you doing man, thank you

You know you’re a boss when you can run a flat head bit on a variable speed drill without slipping.

My first time watching your videos. I'm now a subscriber. Keep on keeping it simple!

This was an excellent video for folks who are doing it themselves. I'm retired now but did a whole lot of this work once upon a time. I can't say I'm a fan of silicone, though! I relied on the rubber gaskets and seals. To be fair, many seals are of a lower quality today. I always greased all threaded fittings and bolts/machine screws, so that many years later the next guy could easily disassemble my work. Anyways, excellent how-to vid!

THIS HELPED ME SO MUCH - Loved how you took your time, showed all the steps, and went 1 by 1. Thank you for posting this. Id love to see more A to Z videos like this, maybe for installation of faucets etc. i learned alot

I appreciate you taking the time to show everyone how to do this work and empowering us to give it a try before we call our local plumber. Got me feeling confident on my way to Home Depot lol!

That first comment is so true I do this type of work you're so right total different story although the videos informative in its own right

Thank you for the video. I am glad you are taking the time to help us DIYers!

Great video! Thanks for the demo!

This video and instruction was excellent! Thanks for helping the DIYer .Other videos aren't explained so clearly .

Thank you for your time making this video it helps me very much…watching from Prince George, BC

very good teaching and camera work

looks like everyone is watching his content but nobody subscribin. subscribe to this man!😂

Well done and easy to understand. Thanks for the demo.

Very detailed walk through I truly appreciate you sir

Best plumbers in the country huh... Damn that's a little over the top let's be honest here

This was helpful as basic as it seems

Thanks for the video I love this video I see it very often

This video is gold ... stray to how to do the work ...thanks

I need to know how to do this while installing new tub into the tightest fit ever known to man surrounded by 3 walls.

Great video. You done good!

I like how he talks.

These jobs are always demonstrated in the world's most ideal environments

Great video, new subscriber! We had a new tub just put in, looks like they used compression style connections vs glue on the tee. There is now an access panel behind the tub. Curious if they should have used glue instead of the compression style like in the original connection in your video before you replaced. I even heard that code in MD might even say glue connection is mandatory. Thanks

Very informative! Thanks for sharing! 😊

I have to do this plus add a new trap in this 80 year old house. Existing has a trap made of steel pipe that goes into a drum trap. Is slow or blocks often. Do you have other videos?

Can the p-trap be installed perpendicular to the drain?

thank you for sharing

Hey Jeff, question. My bathtub has brass piping. I purchased a bathtub drain/flood kit, and right now I'm stuck on how to go from the PVC kit into the brass fitting? I saw-zawed off the drain and flood piping, but the brass T is still intact. My PVC kit has it's own T, where on the T section do I tie in the PVC piping?

OK, so I have old pipes in my bathroom, My "stopper" is on my faucet in my tub. My question is, does the faucet have same kinda plug inside as the other stoppers not on faucet?

Excellent

Nice detailed video

The watco demonstrated here does not give you the option of 1. Using a hair catch cover or 2. Having a male to female threaded overflow drain with gasket and silicone. Seems like two very important things to me that are not available with this tub waste kit.

Thanks for the videos very helpful!

Thanks sir

What brand of bathtubs do you recommend?

I have an overflow that doesn’t have a screw to keep the twist type overflow, on. I don’t want to try and pull it off. The back is butted up against a screen. Anyone have any ideas on how to get the overflow to release? It’s a turn type in an American standard jacuzzi style tub.

Gracias 👍

I took of the cover on the bath to the over flow now the pipe has fell down inside the back of the tub :s

Hey Jeff, would you attach the waste and overflow plumbing before putting the tub in if you have access to connect to P trap from below

I’m currently doing this, but there is a bit of standing water in the drain. The horizontal pipe from the drain to the T is parallel to the ground, would you recommend trying to instead add a little slope so there is no standing water?

How do you snake the tub from the new overflow if the screw hole is in the way

I thought you're not supposed to put metal male end into the pvc female end

Now show how to install one by yourself on a tub that's already been in for 20 years and there is a wall there like there would normally be. It's easy to install when there is no wall and you can just reach over the tub and hold everything with one hand and screw in the drain with other hand. No one ever does a video in real life situation as to where the tub has been in the home for 20 or 30 years and they have to replace the entire drain and overflow, trap by themselves.

these bathtubs doesn't need p trap?

👍

This video is designed to make you call a plumber.

most times it takes two guys to install the drain.

Am not a plumber. My question is, this is there any difference between pvc pipe and ABS Pipe, are you aloud to mixing them together

Try doing it by yourself in an actual reso situation when there is a wall there. One person cant reach around and hold everything unless your a super hero stretch man. When your by yourself you have to come up with some creative ways to install one by yourself..

Good walkthrough, but the corners you cut in this video range from silly to reckless given people watching this don't know that they're a problem. 1) not covering the drain will potentially let hardware fall into drain (sure, you're removing it, but why create this hassle when a simple drain covering fixes the issue); 2) your sloppy measurements are clearly wrong. Sometimes a cm or 2 error can be the source of either a major headache/re-do during install or the source of a leak many years later; 3) cutting something on your leg with a saw is just stupid; 4) cutting pipe without deburring or cleaning it up anyway is potentially going to create issues in the future. I do think your video is valuable to many, but I think at least mention of these issues in the comments would be appropriate. Thanks!

I love how this bath is up at a level that you can see under. Im trying to seal a out pipe thats not working well with silcone and christ i should have done yoga. Its insanely badly placed..we figure out iPhone but we can't make it easy to fix the tub when it needs it. And plumber do not exist here. Not resistsred not licenced...jsut cowboys and ill do a better job than that!

Lmao you SHOWED no in field install tips ....WASTE OF YOUR TIME AND EVERYONE WATCHING

Ok i cannot find any vids on how to get the old elbow off
