The Basement Bathroom is done! Now that it is Winter, I'll have to figure out some different kind of DIY projects to do. Any suggestions? Would you like to see me back in the Kitchen like last winter?

Very good tip for basement 👍I had no clue what was so special about that toilet until you explained at the end. I wonder what you think about it now having it for several year's 🤔? I'm hoping I can find a home with a basement, that has option for a bathroom. Great video 😃

I got a Sanicompact. Works great! It only has a rise of 4 feet and a run of 3 feet to deal with. I used the minimum size of discharge line, 3/4" with no issues. Same with my little Sanishower pump.. But it does require a vent line of 1 1/2" to the outdoors.

Very nice work thats hard to come by with anything anyone has done no matter what mechanic, HVAC , electrical they all do half ass jobs getting PVC primer and saw dust all through the the house the best part is when you had the job done a week ago but another problem comes up because people dont care anymore. you deserve to charge a high price because your getting your money's worth and will have it forever.

Hey nice video I have one question for you did you have any problems with the toilet since you made the video how many people use that bathroom per day i’m thinking of putting one in my basement thanks
@diyduke5 жыл бұрын
No problem so far, sometimes it's used a lot for months and then it's only used a little. I was hoping it would be a good system and so far no complaints at all.
@kelleyerin94496 жыл бұрын
Just an FYI- The installation instructions Section 2.6 , 3rd paragraph of installation manual. " Use long turn bends and not elbows, elbows are not normally available in plastic piping, use two 45° pieces back to back to make a 90° elbow. The connection to the soil-stack or sewer pipe should be made with an approved wye fitting.When in doubt about this procedure please have a plumbing contractor install this for you " .... after the 90 discharge elbow they give you , and you go to make that turn to go vertical, you used a 90 elbow, that is like taking a garden hose and crimping it, it's going to create too much back pressure on the pump and cause early failure... and you put another 90 at the top before going horizontal trough wall,,, then discharging in to the waste line, that will cause issues as well. instead of wye fittin into the waste line , like the manual says, you put ANOTHER 90 into the line. These units will last 15 years or more,, I give yours 4 ( and the warranty will run out at 3)...How did you vent it? You didn't show the vent line tied into anything, did you free air vent it or studor vent? because, you can't use a studor /cheater vent on these units .,,,Otherwise I LOVE the tile work!!! looks fantastic.
@utah1335 жыл бұрын
You can get PVC long sweep elbows online, just Google it. They aren't usually available at home or hardware stores though. If you use ABS pipe, they are available EVERYWHERE but it is not usually smaller than 2 inch. I had a short run (8 feet) and wanted small waste pipe so went with 3/4 inch PVC that Saniflo says will work. Mine's a Sanicompact self-contained potty. I don't think 🇺🇸 plumbing code technically allows 45's, but the physics of it (forced flow and macerated waste) show it will work fine. Mine does.

Isn’t venting required where you live? In Mass, a true 2 inch vent line is required for any fixture connected to drains and here you have 3 fixtures.

DIY Duke, did you put your floor tile right on the concrete floor, or did you put down a subfloor? I tried finding a video for your flooring work but couldnt find it! Thanks,
@diyduke4 жыл бұрын
Hey Joseph, yes just prepped the concrete by cleaning it thoroughly and checking for level, filling some cracks. There is a product called uncoupling membrane that can go down over the concrete to prevent any cracking of the tile in the event the concrete cracks after the tile is down. The concrete I set the tile on is 60 years old and was very stable. I used tile adhesive yet mortar will work also. 😀

Hi what if the sewage line is clogged past the Macerating Toilet? How do you snake it? I have a Basement where the cement floor and foundation has sunk slightly. So I think the drain pipes leaving from my toilet don't have proper slope. My toilet flushes with liquid but we don't put solids. The house is on the side of a Mountain so the sewer drains great. This basement toilet is on the far side of the house that has a problem. The shower and sink drain fairly well in this basement bathroom. Will the Macerating Toilet work well in this situation? Thank
@diyduke5 жыл бұрын
You can take off the hose clamp where the drain exits the macerate and get a snake in there
@raspyni7 жыл бұрын
Which macerating toilet did you use and do you recommend? Getting ready to dive in, so to speak. And why didn't you hide that exit pipe inside the wall? The visual of what's happening in there might be too much for my psyche. Thank you!

+Barry Friedman got the Sani-Flo Sani-Plus off of Amazon and so far no ploblems whatsoever and it gets constant use. Didn't hide anything because there was no room but you can certainly put all of it behind walls.

Now tell me why put the tube up the wall and not out the bottom then up on the other side where nobody would see it while in the bathroom? Maybe you couldn't do it for some reason but the bathroom does look really good for a basement bathroom. Ares is all cement one huge shower and a Toilet that's it no sink not vanity nothing. But it's also a house that was built in the 50's so maybe someday I'll mess around down there for my beginner project.

looks like they use a European connection on that toilet. They claim it is superior than our wax ring flange type connection which i hate. I like using the new green polyurethane sponge gasket. i would maybe put a one way valve near the main drain pipe, so nothing goes into the toilet system if there was a backup.
