Thank you Josh, for your well detailed videos from start to finish.

This is an excellent video. I'm a licensed plumber and I wish people would watch this video before attempting to build their own plumbing systems. I've been watching some of the other videos on the channel and learning lots. I figured I'd watch this one to nitpick a lil since I'm a licensed plumber and honestly some of the tips here are incredible. The hole saw sizing to be used for the toilet AND the shower. I honestly never even considered that. The wood spacer on the toilet flange is an amazing idea that plumbers in my area don't do and we regularly have leaks on wax seals because the face of their flange isn't the 1/8" - 1/4" above the finished floor. I think it's neat how you individually vent the toilet because that's a more commonly accepting practice across different states and codes even though wet venting is a common practice in some areas. You really set the viewer up for success with that one. It'd be worth adding a bit on how the shower was vented. I wouldn't recommend flushing the flange test plug down the drain though. We get a few calls about those getting stuck in odd places here and there and it always feels kinda silly to have to tell people that large plastic flaps don't always travel down the drain very well. Fish it out with an extra long pair of needle nose pliers. Drill it out with a hole saw or rip the tab on top in a twisting motion and it should come out. Other than that and a few personal preferences on finish pipes I've gotta say you know plumbing better than some plumbers I know and I've been doing this for about 10 years. If you know the other trades about as well as you know plumbing, I feel pretty confident you've taught me enough to build my own house properly or at least close enough for the inspectors to correct me on just minor things. Thank you.

I am an older woman desperate to learn how to do home repairs myself. Your videos have helped me immensely. The way you teach makes it easy for me to believe I can do it. That remains to be seen but whatever happens, thanks so much

If you plan on using a trim kit on the toilet supply please keep it higher than 6". Thanks, from trim carpenters everywhere installing common 5.5" baseboard.

You absolutely do the best job of anyone out there of explaining what you're doing step-by-step. Incredible how much I learn from your vids ! Thank you ! !

I’m a certified industrial chemical plumber, we often use pvc for its chemical resistance. You cannot let the primer fully dry. The pipe and fitting must both be tacky when you apply the glue or you will not get a full chemical reaction. Also it isn’t dry fitting anymore once you wet the pipe with primer, all that twisting and pulling on the primed fittings is disturbing the primed surfaces

I like that you say why youre doing something or what something does helps me remeber and understand thanks Pal ... Youre a good teacher

Super good video. Excellent 👌. Thank you! 🎉🎉

Do yourself a favor and buy some Milwaukee hole saws with a quick release mandrall. When its time to remove the wood scrap from the hole saw, just first pull back the quick release by hand, pop the drill into reverse holding the saw by hand to unscrew the saw from the mandrall, and then use the tip of the pilot bit to push out the circular wood scrap. I spent many years the hard way removing cores with whatever was nearby. So much easier and professional now.

Id rather see the vanity supply going through the wall , it makes installing or replacing the vanity much easier and also stays out of the way of the flooring.

I've only watched a few of your videos so far, but I am so glad I came across your channel. My oldest son and I are trying to finish out the interior of our tiny cabin and need guidance! Your videos explain everything so we'll and they are appreciated.

I adjust both water line holes if I have to adjust one (because of a joist or stud being in the way) so they look even after the trim out.

Finally a well done, simple, easy to understand ,video without some annoying soundtrack blasting in the background, thank you!

You are the best brother.I

Great video. For those looking to DIY, be sure to buy purple primer and not the clear stuff. That is how the inspector knows the pipes were primed.

Thanks for pulling all the spec you need for a project. Saved me from not having to look at so many video.

It's a completely different game under the house crawling with all material and tools plus running and connecting all the drains and proper fall etc

As a plumber I watched this video and there are few things that I would never do. But for the homeowners doing it themselves this video is for you

One of the very best How To videos I've ever seen. Thanks for putting it up. Will be doing a bathroom soon and your instructions here will be invaluable.

By far the best video I’ve watched on the topic! Not only are You a master of your craft, but you are also a great teacher. Thank you! 👍🏼👍🏼

very thorough explanation of procedures.. this video gave me, a DIY'er, the confidence to tackle a bathroom addition on my own. THANKS!

Thank you for making this very informative video! I will definitely be watching it a few more time before and during my cabin install.

I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and in particular providing information regarding distance between the various hole spacing. Thank Bud!

It’s one thing to know what you’re doing but to explain it and teach the way you do. A lot of tradesmen could learn a lot on how to train their helpers. Thanks man! I’ve learned a lot!

I have used a jig saw to cut the hole in the floor. Takes some time, but it worked.

Thanks a lot for producing such a simple and very explainable video. Well done 👏🏾👍🏾

This is my GO TO video for roughing out a bathroom!! Thanks simple, no loud music and to the point

You freaking awesome. I just paid a fortune to a dum**s plumber. Could've done it all myself.

I really like watching your videos explaining everything in detail helping me decide to renovate my bathrooms God bless you.

Thank you for all the awesome information on plumbing this bathroom.

This was so super helpful. My husband and I are building a house(he’s a plumber) and I want to educate myself so I can be as helpful as possible! Thank you for posting!

outstanding video! we are currently remodeling a cottage on the property, with some substantial relocations. This info will come in handy for sure!

VERY helpful.................building a tiny home here on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Awesome! No annoying background music!

Very good explanation of the process.

Thanks for taking your time to teach us how to do it.

TEL-You are a Great Teacher.

LADWY...sure wish I would have found this video before I drilled a whole bunch of holes 😞. Best video I have found so far! Thank you.

Very good instruction I enjoy watching and learn from it

Just plumbed master bath, first time taking on something like that. Followed your videos, however what took you 5 minutes, took me a week. But got drain, vents and pressure lines in place. Everything works great and met code. Dude, where I live licensed plumber's bill out at $130 / hr. If they bring journeyman he's additional $90/ hr . You literally saved me thousands! Can't thank you enough for instructions, but more importantly the confidence to believe one can do this themselves. If you ever make it out West, beers on me brother!

If you decide to come out to CA. And do plumbing make sure you buy a plumbing code book read it and take a plumbing class.

Thank you for you time for showing plumbing ideas

You are so talented. I enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the good work.

Good choice on sub flooring.

Great idea for toilet flange.

You are just wonderful! I have learned so much and saved so much money just by watching you. ❤❤❤

Your work is second to none may God continue to bless you and your family. Bottom line

Such a great, clear presentation

got confused by the "Lav", in the UK that would be the physical toilet. Seems in the North America it means the sink unit. Good video, primer is for PVC pipe, if you are using other materials use the appropriate glue. Your note to orient your fittings so the bend goes with the flow was a nice touch. If you get stuck. As a rule of thumb, **** runs downhill due to gravity.

Great video, I live in San Francisco in an old building and it's about to have most of it's plumbing replaced. PVC seems to be the way to go for outflow./drainage

Josh thanks for share this is a lot of helpful for us ❤ I see some time they don't know how you show up this way for me fast and easy way I need to be

Very informative thanks great work now I know what I need to do Respect! From Texas!

Great video! For those who are laying out its always a good idea to send a screw into the floor either on drill point or right beside it to ensure there's nothing structural in the way

I really appreciate your tutorials. Very precise and informative 👌👍👏😀

This was such an awesome video thank you for taking the time to make this for us

Thank you Josh. Of all the video on KZfaq I’ve watched none ever mention how far the bath tub drain should be from the wall? Either side of the tub, whether perpendicular or parallel to the wall. Thank you so much!

Thank you very much. Very informative.

Amazing video😄thanks really helped👍🏻

Good job I am from Jamaica

Saludos Josh gracias x compartir exelentes videos muchos calurosos abrazos a la familia bendiciones desde indianapolis Indiana 🇬🇹

such a great video....then I saw the flex drain line....come on man!!!

Very well done. Excellent video!

Thank you really I always learning something from you , 👍

Sir you really have developed a lot of knowledge and skills! Much respect! your videos are excellent!

Very good clear information

Yea put the supply lines in the floor for no fn good reason so the floor guys have to fit around them and whoever puts in the vanity has to cut holes on the bottom of the vanity. Great idea!

Very good explanation how to installation of the sewer pipe.

Great work. Thank you so much for sharing.

Props to this guy for this great video but I, even just being a handyman, noticed the issue with his use of pvc primer.

Really really great videos! Thanks!

Fyi if your vanity has drawers which are usually on the right its good to off center everything to the left 3-4”

Thank you, very nice vedio with nice illustration.

Insane! Let the knockout go down the drain!!!! STOPPAGE!!

Great information.... great presentation.

You have a lot to learn! I'm gonna leave it at that

Apply cement to wet primer. Do not let flange center fall into the sewer drain!!

MUCHAS GRACIAS. MUY BUENOS VIDEOS .

Muy bien gracias

JUST AMAZING VIDEO, IT'LL HELP ME FEED MY FAMILY!

Wow, i guess i have to implement this method

Great vid Josh! It's great you are including the white board .. it's a super effective educational tool. You made a complicated process more understandable for your subscribers. Doing great on these vids!!!!

Is toliet French for toilet?🤣 I love your videos, very thorough

Oh man, you killed it with the accordion trap. Nice work but man I would not put that trap on there.

Thank's my friend, very instructive your video....!

If you rough your sink drain at 18 you will have to use a tail piece extension rough it at 20 to avoid the extra piece

You are an exelent teacher. Walter

six month apprentice here. just coming on a late Friday night to watch the basic stuff I usually do

Well done thank you love the facts and information

Spot on demo vid... excellent presentation...

This channel is for the diyers. Just a tip always check where your cabinet drawers are located in the vanity and how deep they sit before plumbing the vanity.

Thankyou I appreciate your time, skill and pointers (tips) you break it down to make it easier for beginners cheers

REALLY NICE WORK MAN 👌🏿

Thanks for your help..

Damn Josh, you do everything!

Wow so nice job.

Very informative. Thanks a lot

as a framer (old school) I found your video very easy to follow and informative. A good framer moves floor joust to allow the plumber a clear shot. Also framing should be nailed 16" on center over the framing . Nit a random bam bam with the nail gun. Respect for the other trade so they don't get hurt. Thank you for your video.

Thoughts: - A debarring hand tool makes that go really easy and does a nice job - Primer needs to be visible for inspection with no areas missing and glue show evenly around top - Metal blade is perfect

Thank you. Loved the video. Refacing a 1963 Rambler. If you have any renovation videos send my way please.
