This was an excellent video for folks who are doing it themselves. I'm retired now but did a whole lot of this work once upon a time. I can't say I'm a fan of silicone, though! I relied on the rubber gaskets and seals. To be fair, many seals are of a lower quality today. I always greased all threaded fittings and bolts/machine screws, so that many years later the next guy could easily disassemble my work. Anyways, excellent how-to vid!

As a DIYer I appreciate you frequently acknowledging how real scenarios are always a variable that can basically absorb an entire weekend (for example) with multiple trips back to the store (and yes, it will be Home Depot or Lowes, because the "local hardware store" here (a quasi Do It Best franchisee) is gone by Sat noon until Mon morning. The tubs in our place have a combo overflow and drain control that is not like the typical kind with the plunger. You move a lever from 7:00 over to 4:00. 7 o'clock is closed; 4 o'clock drains the tub. (The lever control is in the overflow grate.)The linkage moves the drain cover, like how the modern ones require you to do that yourself. Made by Crane, and 85+ years old.

I have to do this plus add a new trap in this 80 year old house. Existing has a trap made of steel pipe that goes into a drum trap. Is slow or blocks often. Do you have other videos?
@jeffmummplumbing9321
Жыл бұрын
We don't have a video for the scenario you are talking about, but I will try my best to explain how to do it. The drum trap should have an inlet and an outlet. Cut the inlet (pipe from the tub/shower). Put a wye fitting in and have the branch of that wye tie into the vent. On the continuation of the wye (straight part) that is where you will want to make the p-trap connection to the tub. In our code jurisdiction the wye for the vent has to come off within 2 feet of the p-trap. I hope to have a video of this scenario down the road we just haven't dealt with this situation since having started our KZitem channel. I hope this helps. If you have any further questions on it let me know In the comments here and I will try to reply as quick as I can! Thank you for the comment, good luck!

Great video, new subscriber! We had a new tub just put in, looks like they used compression style connections vs glue on the tee. There is now an access panel behind the tub. Curious if they should have used glue instead of the compression style like in the original connection in your video before you replaced. I even heard that code in MD might even say glue connection is mandatory. Thanks

And they look lovely those old copper pipes on the walls ...and put the out pipe so you can fix it and it has a drop.

If the T is on its back does it still have a p-trap? Ideally you should try to make the T vertical rather than on its back and worst case scenario definitely do try to put some fall on it so it drains out better!

Are you actually talking about the overflow or the drain stopper on the base of the tub? I know some of the ones that click open and closed pull strait out, without a screw and are held in place with an o-ring. Some of the off brand lift and turns unscrew by turning the whole stopper, usually using channel locks around the outside. If it's really stuck, you can easily break the little cross it screws into, though.

There is a difference yes, ABS (the black plastic) seems to expand and contract due to temperatures much more than PVC does and it uses a different glue to create the joints.. We aren't very big fans of it. ABS is also typically far more expensive than pvc ever since covid. Here in Omaha you are not allowed to mingle those pipes together for it to be to code. It either has to be all pvc or all ABS with some exceptions. Hope this answered your question!

Now show how to install one by yourself on a tub that's already been in for 20 years and there is a wall there like there would normally be. It's easy to install when there is no wall and you can just reach over the tub and hold everything with one hand and screw in the drain with other hand. No one ever does a video in real life situation as to where the tub has been in the home for 20 or 30 years and they have to replace the entire drain and overflow, trap by themselves.

Good walkthrough, but the corners you cut in this video range from silly to reckless given people watching this don't know that they're a problem. 1) not covering the drain will potentially let hardware fall into drain (sure, you're removing it, but why create this hassle when a simple drain covering fixes the issue); 2) your sloppy measurements are clearly wrong. Sometimes a cm or 2 error can be the source of either a major headache/re-do during install or the source of a leak many years later; 3) cutting something on your leg with a saw is just stupid; 4) cutting pipe without deburring or cleaning it up anyway is potentially going to create issues in the future. I do think your video is valuable to many, but I think at least mention of these issues in the comments would be appropriate. Thanks!
