Nice, but what if your old house floor pipe is in a straight line to your sink hole?

I would honestly get a power washer and the sand blasting attachment and cover up the windows with plywood and strip it down to the wood then wire wheel and sand the wood and then hit it with some exterior grade 2k poly primer from Centurion. Edit I’d also spray on the primer and back roll it then only spray a second coat within the recoat time so you don’t need to sand inbetween coats!

Great video thank you

Where are you mounting the laser? New DIYer here so that bit would be really helpful for me. 1875 house with floors that need to be leveled.

Shouldn't you have installed an air admittance valve instead?

You should have sanded the wood before priming.

1950's is the age for this pink tub

So how do I know if I've accidentally made an S trap? A: It will smell like S How do I know if I made a correct P? A: If it's a P, it's odor free.

you don't need this oil based wood primer a high quality one is much much thicker than this stuff then oil undercoat then oil gloss or aluminium wood primer which will take a extra day or 2 as its silver will need a extra oil undercoat for opacity

Where is the vent pipe?

After several tries flushing the device on the left, also with yellow lid, I took apart the large Aqua Piston Seal on the right, as this video explains, I cleaned and reseated the yellow ring seal at the bottom of the black cylinder (piston?). Thanks to the downloadable manual from the scan code, which says just to clean it FIRST, the system stopped losing water and refilling and is now working. There was not much visible gunk on either item. I took off the yellow seal at the bottom of the large pistion (to which the flush handle is connected (quite challenging), and reseated the ring at bottom of the black cylinder.

Very helpful, Thanks!

How much force to twist it? Mines feels like its to snap off

4:15 I wouldnt hire this painter.

Improper installation

Ring is still coming back

Thanks. Perfect presentation and straight to the point. Your awesome buddy

Middle ground. Yes, thank you. It's almost always what I'm after, but it can be hard weeding through all the professional advice, which tends towards $10,000 solutions. Great video. Glad you didn't fall.

I have a Santa Rosa Kohler and did this exact fix which worked but I'm also seeing that the big black foam 'flush valve gasket" at the bottom of the tank is also disintegrating. I've heard people have problems doing that fix because of it being hard to unscrew and then screw down the canister afterwards inside the tight confines of the tank. In my case I'm probably going to not fix it until it actually fails, since the toilet is a one piece if it does fail it would just leak into the bowl which is not a big deal whereas the same leak in a two piece would go all over the floor. Do you have any tips on fixing the flush valve gasket? The Kohler gasket part is GP83996

Thank you! I'm going to give it a try. This will be my first install.

Before you attempt this, make sure to also check the little plastic vertical piece that can be turned right or left on the fill valve (in my case it was to the left of the cylinder they show at this video). That can be adjusted to the fill level and apparently mine has crept up and was letting water run all the time. It has a philips head on top for philips screwdrivers. adjust that first.

Dude, cut to the Chase

Hi on a sink a short pipe is code on a hand basin it is not eg a trap vent or a 300mm. 600mm horizon tal 30 to 1 fall

Hi there sinks have a flat bottom discharge which it means it prime's the trap ,same as a bath

But I heard it doesn't kill it or get rid of it. It just suppresses it for a while and then it comes back next year.

No caulk needed for between the faucet and countertop?

Didn't you just create an s trap after all that?

U could have slide it out...u were not squizeed between 2 walls

Mine are not Connecting to the WiFi just A Nightmare it says something about broadcast udp local Network

I'm pretty sure that's still an S-trap. You need some kind of vent where the elbow that turns down is. At the very least, using a T instead of the down elbow and putting an air admittance valve on the top of a T.

It's February 2024, and you described my issue to a "T". Thank you! I was able to take your knowledge and $7 and fix my toilet in under 4 mins (and I am NOT a plumber😂).

Wrong! This is still S-trap and will siphon the water. I hope you are a DIY enthusiast. Not serving customers.

I wish my kitchen sink was just one pipe, We like 4 under there, garbage disposal & the wierd way the old metal pipes were hooked

What did he solve by doing this?

I can always tell a novice from a pro by the terms they use to describe the parts they are using," connection hub"?

2:25 You can use a grinder with a metal cutting wheel so you can cut it into four sections so you can remove it in pieces. The sledgehammer is doable, but you will have a huge mess to clean.

1:10 Resurfing costs a lot of money and only last 2 or maybe 3 years. Not worth it!

I can't imagine the installation of that tub.

Thanks. I now feel like I can get this old beast out of my second floor without having to pay to get her done.

This is fantastic and great timing I found it. I have a 1892 house that has settled and I’ve got a 3 rooms to level and reinforce and I thought those would be two separate things. This will kill two birds with one stone

Thank you for this video!! Made for an easy fix it myself task!

Great video, mine lasted 5 years handle just broke clean off, was always hard to turn all the way off :( i think i paid 90 bucks at Home Jewpoe

I just keep replacing Seals. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qJmegNBosNOnfGg.html

Do u have dimmer on the side of your light switch? If so what happens when u use the dimmer?

S traps have been used forever and now people act like your house will collapse if it is used. Bizarre

Need the sand tee with a vent on tub your not doing a waste arm inside the wall drain is coming from bottom up and need the stud vent unstead of using that 90 should be a sant tee just and advice Godbless

Thx H&P, exactly what I needed to know. Got a cracking bath room tile floor on 48 inch center to center joists see with 1 inch plywood subfloor. Tile properly installed with extra sheathing and crack isolation membrane, but no one bothered to check the crawlspace joists before install.

you don't have to download a app on android

Much better instructions. Thank you
