Loved the videos. Definitely helped fill some gaps in the under-the-slab drain line department. I would like to add some additional things to the video: PEX shouldn't be exposed to sunlight at all. Some claim more than 72 hours is bad, some 60 days, but regardless, UV light is a Pex killer so protect any of it sticking out into the light. Also, if you have lines running parallel, keep them from touching because they do like to transfer their temperature to each other. I hope you keep making videos like this with all the little "do's" and "don'ts" that you can't find anywhere else.
Well thanks. most of the time when people say " you didn't mention _________' I probably have said it in another video. Lets see if I can answer all of your comments.
@@PlumbingSolutionsLLC Yeah, plumbing is waaay too vast of a subject to cover it in 100 videos, but I just throw things out there that I find relevant or important. You've done a great job with all of these videos and I know they'll keep helping people. As you can see, I binge-watched through a lot of them. 👍👍
do the electricians come and lay conduit for the island or do the plumbers do that as well? I guess the island is the only place that they'd have to run conduit, I think.
Ive seen pex hot and cold "loops" in many of the houses we build for the bathroom groups out of the slab. Is this common practice? Not sure how to connect back to water heater with a loop rather than a single line. Thanks
I’m roughing in my water lines now and wondering if I can run one hot and one cold for a shower, sink, toilet and just T off at the shower or wherever is convenient? Or would I need two separate hots and colds for the sink and shower then just use one of the colds for toilet?
Seems like a lot of work, why not just take hot an cold lines to nearest wall to that island sink, then connect them at the top out stage, instead of fighting 30’ of pex just to get it across there, there will be plumbing close to that sink, just a thought
I'm a 15 year licensed plumber and I wish I had a teacher like you when I started. Great teacher
These videos have been awesome! I'm getting ready to rough in my underslab plumbing. This is really going to help. Thanks!
You say the blue sleeve protects PEX from the concrete, so then they must use a different kind of PEX for radiant floor application?
Where can i buy the sleeve

Watched several of your vids. I enjoy them and learn alot
I appreciate that!
Are you concerned at all about the frost line? Also do the separation rules for potable and non potable lines not apply?
Love your videos, you do a professional show everytime without nagging and help

We do the conduit. We are already there why pay the electrician for the trip. I don't think we charge for it, if we do its very little.
Thank you again for another great video.
Hello. Thanks for your amazing video and attention to detail. Who determines if sewer pipe used can be PVC or ABS?
See what is used around you... look around at some builds. Seems like the west uses abs and midwest/east pvc from what i can gather

To clarify that means 2 hots and 2 colds coming up in each group
How will the lines connect to the water heater?
Appreciate your work thanks very informative
