great video truly, but one glaring thing to me is i believe that basement bathroom group is improperly wet vented. Plumbing to code can be very tricky so I don't fault you. I believe the way to correct that would be to have your stack wrap around the same wall as your clean out and 90 down towards your main drain that way you can catch your water closet, vanity and tub on the same line and then catch them further downstream on that 3 or 4 inch drain line. Of course this is just what I see and if you already passed inspection what im suggesting doesn't matter. Thank you for the content regardless it was a pleasure to watch!

And I'm not a fan of resistive heat, and wonder about the performance of the type of products used on this channel when installed over a concrete slab. But they just seem cheap enough we might just go for it anyway.

Some plumbing rough-in situations require re-bar stakes and wire or strap to temporarily hold the pipes in place. Also, it is good to have some gravel available to support the pipes. Remember to take video or pics to document your layout for future trouble-shooting. Nice work. Thank you for making your videos.

Personally I would have taken that ABS vent down the joist cavity towards the block wall. Then 90 down into the future stud wall and then do a horizontal run in that wall over to the left and down to the sink drain. That way you avoid having to put big holes in your joists weakening them.

Why is a shower (vs vanity) considered two fixture units in regard to venting via one Y? Just for the volume of water coming through it or for some other reason? A word of caution for the DIYers; pay close attention to what Steve is talking about in regard to WET vs DRY venting! So much to unpack here so make sure to understand before proceeding! Another epic BRT video not seen on the tube yet. p.s. ten courage stars for the team, to make this unpredictable dig and have a nerve to keep all the lights and video equipment just to share it with us! 👍💪👊

Man, that looks like a lot of work but you're flying through it. I did a basement bathroom reno last year and redid all the plumbing under the slab. It was my first time so I went slow and it took me a long time, but it turned out great. I probably spent twice as long as you to put together half the amount of piping. I can appreciate the work you put into this! One thing though... you keep saying your toilet will be 12 inches from the framing, but isn't it supposed to be 12 inches from the finished wall? In other words, 12.5 inches from framing minus half inch for drywall? Not sure if you misspoke or what, but I hope that doesn't come back to bite you.

I did not see a sliding joint in the vertical stack between basement and upper floor, I think that is a Canadian code install requirement though my son's house did not have one and his ABS pipe shattered one Spring when the house settled, (or someone knocked it in the unfinished basement). It was definitely needed for us to put the system back together. I had to get the joint from a plumbing wholesaler and I think it was around $70 Canadian. In my Canadian house I also had to add a sliding joint on a vent stack because it was pulling apart, you don't want this happening buried in a wall where you might only notice the smell.

@@BathroomRemodelingTeacher if memory serves the ABS came through the cement floor without a foam wrap so if house moved separate from cement floor something has to give. I guess I would also suggest wrapping joints going through Cement floors to be wrapped with flexible foam or bubble wrap. I am helping my brother in law in Mexico whose house will have both a cement floor and a cement roof. The roof stack must have a solid pour around it or roof will leak I will be making sure to include flexible foam at the floor pass through and seriously considering a sliding joint or a rubber coupling to provide for some vertical movement, it does not help that the area experiences 7 point earthquakes every few years. At least it is PVC.

You really need to review your wet venting layout. Wet venting is way more restrictive than you are showing. You have most of the correct fittings, but the positioning is wrong. You also have exceeded the fixture units on the wet vent. There is also a limit on how long a pipe can be without a fixture on it- think about your clean out length. With that existing 3 “” copper vent , it would have been just as easy to vent each fixture. Please folks that are seeing this-- there are a few problems with this system. Remember to get your permits and inspections and use the code that applies to your jurisdiction.

Um... why are we boring holes into the very bottom of floor joists instead of either (1) running that ABS pipe within the joist bay to where the new wall will be and then kicking it over in that non-structural wall or (2) just drilling the holes in the middle-most of the joist considering it obviously didn't need to be run through the bottom of the joists? People... don't do that. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if an inspector challenged that toilet being vented properly. Don't have the measurements -- it's likely code, but still, with this design, I would have brought a vent up from the cleanout in the wall that'll be there and tied into a dry vent just to be on the safe side (especially since no new wall there will be structural and you can drill as many holes as you want, basically).

Coming from a plumber, who’s licensed, this guy gives bad advice imo. Watch out. UPC code and manufacturer recommendations are both vital to proper plumbing installation. All pvc dwv pipe should be reamed/chamfered, every end, every size. You WILL have leaks if you don’t. Torque specs for fernco mission couplings are there for a reason, 60ft lbs of torque. Don’t just use an impact drill and wrench it. ESPECIALLY FOR VITRIFIED CLAY!! Good lord man, what plumber doesn’t chamfer pvc? IT’s elementary plumbing.
