And if you had paid attention near the end of the video you would have seen that I had connected it correctly and tested it thoroughly and it was working period you're not even an expert plumber you're a troll that doesn't have any information at all you're an uninformed person go comment elsewhere on topics that you actually know something about

Very precise! Had a heck of a time with a remodel vanity at my house. Finally put 5 to 6 wraps of teflon tape on p trap connections to stop the leak. Glad you said run water for 10 minutes because a lot of plumbers assume it won't leak. Thats the reason so many cabinet bottoms rot out.

You really should not need to run the Teflon tape on there for the ptrap so . What I tell people to do is loosely attach all of the ptrap connections then tighten the nut on the output of ptrap first. Make Sure that this connection is satisfied first. Then and only then do you tighten the others.

Personally, I would NEVER use a 1 1/4" p-trap under any sink. I would have run 1 1/2" pipe, fittings p-trap and trap adapter from the wall to the drain tailpiece ( grayish pipe ). I would then use a 1 1/4" x 1 1/2" slip joint washer and nut to connect the tailpiece to the new drain line. No need for a tailpiece extension ( another potential leak point ). I have also found drains that did NOT leak when checked by just allowing the faucet to run for a while. It is better to fill the sink with water, then allow it to drain all at once.

Great video. I'm a carpenter and I've always been amazed at my how my plumber friends had the ability to cut, fit and assemble complex pipe assemblies and then glue them all together. Last time I did it, like you, I worked to "dry-fit" everything before introducing any glue. Problem is that fittings are tapered and work fine to assemble when glued (and slippery", but calculating all the sizes required is very challenging when dry-fitting. To solve this, I used "KY" personal (water soluable - yup- that stuff :) ) to lube parts so I could bottom-out all parts and get all the lengths just right. I marked the orientation with a paint pen. Disassembled all, washed all the parts and glued and re-assembled the complex mix of pipe and fittings. Worked like a charm.

So it was no big deal to make some slits and chisel them off. It did not take too long.

The exit from the P trap has to be a teeny bit higher than the pipe going into the wall so that you have a downward slope toward the wall. That downward slope is required by building codes to be 1/4 inch per foot, so since the downspout of the drain is about 6" from the wall Maybe up to 12" most your s**** from the output up the pietra up to the Wall should be between an 8th of an inch and a quarter of an inch. For the down spout pipe if you need an extension you have to cook that extensions length such that it sets DP trap at the appropriate height of the floor there so that it gives you just a teeny bit of that negative slope towards the wall.

Do you primer and cement the extension from the sink to the p trap? Or does the length into the p trap and the need to be able to unscrew the p trap not require you to prime/ cement?

You do not cement those poly tub pieces, they must be able to be removed by the homeowner to clean out clogs. The nuts with gaskets help seal those connections.

That's not a good solution. A trap adapter is not the same as a male threaded adapter. While the male threads on the trap adapter are technically same as pipe thread, there are fewer threads to engage plus the wall thickness is less. You can physically make the connection but it's not recommended. Puts too much stress on the male threads. If you want to do this with adapters, use slip joint adapters that fit same as the P-trap tubing. In this case, cut a small length (2-3 inches) off the plain end of a sink tailpiece and insert into trap adapter, then use a slip joint 45 degree fitting, then insert your P-trap outlet into the other side of the 45. Done. All big box stores and hardware stores carry that fitting. 25 year pipefitter here.

TLDR..... Never use a flexible hose under anything it destroyed my cabinets. I had a double sink with a mixer tap installed in my kitchen and they plumbed it in with a flexible hose that I never saw because they cut a hole at the back of my cupboards and wedged it behind the hot & cold water piping. I woke up 4 months later to an explosion of boiling hot water spraying across my kitchen. It burnt my arms quite badly when I had to get to the valve to turn it off. If I had not been home I think it would have destroyed my kitchen. The owner of the plumbing business told me that they had not installed that (WTF) & that I was trying to swindle him. I had another plumber come in and he told me they are illegal to install in our state & he showed me they had pulled out some bricks behind my cabinet to wedge it all in. They had even used some of my tea towels to tie these bits in place. Had to have all cabinets ripped out and start again. What a nightmare.

should the part coming off the P trap be level or sloped to the waste line?

@jeffostroff 5 жыл бұрын

Doug, the trap arm is slopes DOWN to the waste pipe at the wall by 1/4"/foot. Thus, with < 12" from the wall to the downward curve of the trap arm, you should see 1/8" to 1/4" sloping down to the wall. Most houses have that waste line coming out of the wall 100% horizontal, and it still drains OK. One thing to keep in mind is your trap "weir", which is where the water level tops off inside the trap pipe, making that U-shaped body of water that keeps sewer gases out of your sink drain. The Weir is right inside the curved part of the pipe, that WEIR must be ABOVE the vent connection inside the wall, otherwise the air from the vent won't make it back to the weir, you won't have air behind water, and you could cause a siphon effect, which could drain your P-trap of water, and there goes your protection from sewer gasses. Always make sure your vent connection in the wall NEVER goes below the water line (Weir) inside your trap. How do you see where that water level is in the Weir? It's where the P-Trap arm curves downward from the waste pipe, and it's the bottom edge of that pipe, at the curve. The inspector measures from the floor to the bottom of the P-trap arm pipe at the curve near the trap connection where the trap weir is located. Next they measure from floor to top of the waste pipe at the vent connection, accounting for thickness of pipe wall. If the difference between those 2 measurements is less than the diameter of the pipe, no worries of a siphon happening and your permit is signs and approved.

@jeffostroff 5 жыл бұрын

Just make sure that the top of the drain pipe where it connects to the vent inside the wall is at or above the bottom of the P-trap drain arm at the trap connection, and you will be OK.

TIP: for anyone who has/uses plumber’s putty. If want it to stay “good” for very long time, take it out if that plastic container it comes in, w/ plastic lid; AND store it in a glass container with screw on top lid (a lid that has a seal is best). Doing this will make it last at least twice as long than leaving it in the container comes in, if not a year or two. Examples of glass containers I/we use: old pickle jars (washed, rinsed, and 100% dry) or relish, etc… Another good jar is a mason jar with the metal ring and gasket sealed cap that you’d use for canning (this is my preferred, but a pickle type jar so much easier to find, imo).

If you connect it backwards like we show in the thumbnail and at the start of the video, you run the risk of needing an extension to be from the bottom of the sink to reach the p-trap, and you'll have an incorrect crown of the p-trap where it connects into the waste line, and you'll likely have wrong trap seal dimensions of the water column.

You probably have a clog somewhere between your kitchen sink and the street outside your house where it dumps into the sewer system. This is making the water back up, and it has to go somewhere, so it goes back up to the basement drain. Most often this can be snaked out. But if that fails, I've seen where tree roots have burst through pipes and are clogging the pipe now. Usually the plumbers need to snake a camera down the drain pipe to confirm it. This happened at our friend's house lasted year. hopefully yours is just a simple clog that can be snaked easily with their machine. Make sure you don't ever pour chicken fat down your sink drain, I try to avoid putting any solid foods, or anything oily or buttery that can congeal at room temperature or colder.
