Re check your information from 5:15 about the IPC code regarding 3 toilets. Check the footnotes of table 710.1(1).
There are footnotes on allot of these tables that are basically exceptions to the rule. Hope that helps your future study.
Actually, I stand corrected. That is my local IPC code. You are correct about the National IPC.
So in Santa Maria California, is it IPC or UPC

@@ahci9585 california is UPC. Santa Maria may have additional codes
I’ve been a plumbing wholesaler over 30 years. This is the best introduction to venting a fixture I’ve seen.
Union?😅
Chicago still requires 3"x2" tee to vent a toilet. Most counties got different codes.. u should mention that. Venting by Wye u can add a sink to this vent and make wet vent..
Yeah we always use 2 inch
I hope you're not being serious.
Man your videos are the shit! I love how you get straight to the point and answer all questions with no confusion! As a plumber it takes years of doing it to understand! Great job!
Does it necessarily have ti be a closet bend or can be a long sweep 90 ?
Really clear and detailed plumbing lesson. Exactly what I needed, to gain some confidence about what I must do myself.
Best plumbing video on the internet. So good that I bought the venting course on the website. Highly recommend!!
When the world needed him the most, he returned
Theses videos have easily taught more than the several DIY books i've read. The images are great
I just use my outhouse, no vents, codes or problems. Every six months I move over five feet and fill the old hole with the soil from the new hole. I'm super green and believe in giving back to nature.
You died of dysentery.
I bet spiders bite you alot
Perhaps your outhouse is already on wheels, but when I read that you moved it, I immediately imagined you picking up one side and pulling in on its wheels, 😆.
I mean, without a vent that outhouse I'd going to stink
😂👏👏👏
THANK YOU !!!!
I'm literally working on my master Bathroom and this information got in the rigth time.
Appreciate you time and effort to create this video !!. 👍🏼😉
Good to hear
Explanation is so understandable easy to follow. No hidden tricks.
Bless you mr hammer
Lol thanks and blessing to you as well,
Thank you so much for this content. I am happy to finally see you uploading more content.
I had a friend in the military tell me my old toilet wasn’t vented that’s why it didn’t work. He got orders and never fixed the toilet for me. I live in the sticks and it’s not a big enough project to get a plumber out here. The people had an addition made. So I have one good toilet. But, it sure would be nice to have the other be there for more than cleaning.
Thank you.
Really liked how easy it is to understand. Thank you
Really like this guys voice and manner. Easy to listen to easy to understand. Am going to recommend to my friends and family
He sounds like Owen Wilson
Now this is a guy who actually knows what he's talking about. Nice video. Thank you for posting.
I’m so thankful for you. I need a video on tying a guest house into the main septic tank line underground
3 years been waiting for your videos! Please don't cut us off again 🙏. Please Keep these great contents coming.
Thanks.
Water Closet need not be vented This is one fixture unit that do not require to be vented
@@tab529 It CAN be done...but, there are special conditions required for it to actually be useful. If you have a high water table, for example, a ventless WC won't work well...unless you don't mind your bathroom smelling like a sewer. If your WC is on an upper floor, the long drop can cause problems because of the lack of venting. So...you might end up having to go back and installing a vent for the WC anyway.
You deliver excellent content to your audience. It's very interesting material. All of your effort put into creating this video is much appreciated. I'm truly grateful for your help!
Thanks David
Don't fall for this horrible advice.
@@Hammerpedia when venting is it on to vent at an angle, so it could go up wall instead of right in middle of bathroom
Thanks for all of the great info! I'm looking to actually cut out a vent pipe to an old basement toilet that's been removed and the waste pipe has been capped. Do you see any issues with simply cutting the pipe out between the concrete floor and ceiling of the basement and capping off both ends? The roof vents have weather caps to prevent water from gathering at the bottom of the capped vent pipe.
I had a plumber mention that he would do this, but I opted at the time to not pay him to do it and don't know if it was any more involved than he described. Thanks!
cant wait to watch more of your contents ! like how to drain kitchen? or laundry room? how to connect multiple bathrooms? or multiple kitchen? please!!!
Thank you so much such a wonderful video ❤❤
Good stuff. Hope to see you again before another 3 years go by!
Very educative video. Am not a plumber but it doesn't hurt to know. Thank you!
👌❤️
Thank you for your video 😊
Great explanations sir!
Awesome visuals! 👍 Great explanations! Thanks!
need more videos from your animation they are great keep up the good work
Please do more videos! Laundry plumbing would be great.
Great video! Clear and inclusive! Thanks!
Dude thank you for making this explanation so simple to comprehend
Sometimes a "wye" fitting won't work because the Joist space is too short and may possibly be more expensive as you need to use a 2" 45 fitting to make it ready to plumb the vent vertically. The most appropriate fitting in this instance is a 3x2 "tee" on it's back.
If backwash venting/ wet venting then a wye is most definitely in order.
Educational. Enjoyed it. Thanx.
Excellent video, I am building my own house and we are at the Plumbing stage right now and having a difficult time finding a plumber to do the job, I do have a decent plumbing experience but never plumbed a whole house before, all I need is a plumbing plan to follow, any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciate it. Thanks you
Thank God you’re back, more videos please
Thank you sir.
Thank you for this video it really helps homeowner here about to start a house and was wanting to put in a wall hung toilet looking to understand it's venting and then also wear clean out potentially would need to be, can you advise?
Saludos
Muy buena explicación
Se entiende perfectamente
Eres buen instructor de plomería
Gracias, se te agradece
Bendiciones
👍✊
Thanks for all the great resources. I'm assuming this is Sketchup -- what do you use to model drain pipe and fittings? In the past I used 'pipe along path' which simply converted lines to pipes of chosen diameter.
I have a vent already going through the edge of the roof of the back of the house. I'm moving the soil pipe to a side of the house as I am building a single storey extension. I wonder if I could use the top most part of the existing vent by connecting it to the new soil pipe by running it around the house along the wall. Is it allowed and is it something I can do? The existing soil pipe and vent runs straight up from about 100cm from the (outside) corner of the building in the back of the house. We are to move that to the side of the house about the same distance from the same corner of the house. So the new pipe will continue from the ground up to where it connects to the first floor toilet and then straight up (vent) and instead of creating a new hole through the roof on the side of the house, bent the vent pipe towards the edge/corner (100cm), bent it and run it along the back wall (100cm) and then connect to top part of the current vent which already runs through the roof and opens above the roof.
I would love to see you make more videos! I love your videos very much
what program did you do this in and would this be a great way to learn how to build a small shed? or do you recommend another program?
Nice presentation, Sir
Thanks for the video. Do you have a video for plumbing a kitchen?
Did a similar install but just used a t vs. the 45 like the vid. Don’t use it as much so ittl lose the water in toilet on windy days. Question is does the 45 angle prevent the water loss ? I kept it at 3” size not reduced.
GREAT information once Again! thank you
This is going to help a lot of ppl!!!
Appreciate the information.
Without this presentation I'd be lost in installing my main toilet and wet venting. thank you so kindly. Many blessings your way Gbu always ❤️🌹 greetings from El Paso Tx Upper Valley West Side.
This is great 👍 The new UPC horizontal dry venting is terrible.
Great content thanks for the knowledge 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷
Side inlet combo, left or right hand. Side inlet elbow is handy to have in a tricky situation.
I don't know why I watched this, but it was very informative.
Thanks for the information.
Thanks for you video it's great idea i see from Corpus Cristi,Tx 🙂👍
You are welcome!
Muy buena 👌 explicación ,las medidas son muy buenas cómo parte de la orientación.
Just 2 minutes into this and I give 2 thumbs up!
You should make more of these but do commercial plumbing !!
How long/high above the ground should be the venting tube? I have bad smell coming out of the toilet and someone suggested the venting tube was too low (like 30 inches above ground). Thanks
Do we need to install vent for each fixture such as wc, lavatory,foot drain. If the fixture WC unit distance is less than 6ft from rise stack. In this case do need to provide vent in horizontal pipe or from vertical stack.
Also share UPC, IPC latest version pdf file
Thanks for sharing!
In some countries the toilet drains straight outside into an open cement box. Vent not necessary. Also the toilet doesn't have a trap so that fresh air blows on your butt.
All these diagrams I come across show the toilet fixture draining into a horizontal lateral and it travels over to the stack to get the waste down to ground level. Does one need to move the stack and the wall below if it is directly under the toilet fixture's outlet to create a horizontal flow before it goes vertical?
so much great info
Great vid, sir! But I never could understand what is meant by "street-45" or "street-L". What does "street" mean? Thanks!!!
Thank you got the guide
I guess things have changed now in 2022 with these fancy newfangled porcelain devices but I still like the way toilets were ‘vented’ in 1922 - there was a louvred vent on the back wall of the outhouse and you just left the door open for a few minutes for cross-venting. I’m afraid to poop now in case I’m in violation of a code!
Thanks Owen Wilson.
thank you very good best explanation
One thing I would like to see addressed would be vented covers for the vent pipe that exits the building. As a custodian for 25 years I have seen times when the wind is blowing from the right direction hard enough, it will create a suction on the vent system strong enough to actually pull the water out of all of the traps. I have actually seen a toilet gurgling because enough water had been sucked out that it had become low enough that the air flow could not pull more water out but not so low that there was an open space for the air to flow without going through a small amount of water.
The best traps in the world do not amount to a pile of packing peanuts if your sewer vent is sucking the water out and leaving a path for sewer gas to enter the building after the wind dies down.
i have a prob. its windy and the walls rumble, and the vent PVC stack..is vibrating..loud..but my parent n partner cant hear it??.. infra sound? it iiss that.. as i emptied all the tanks, toilet and turned off mains water.. its out of alignment..maybe leaking on the roof/???.. any ideas??
@@spiritualistgirl
The range of men's hearing is different from the range of women's. Like the eyesight of insects that feed on flower nectar range into ultraviolet and some predatory animal's eyesight range into the infrared.
If the wind is blowing hard enough to cause your walls to rumble there is most likely nothing you can do to prevent the PVC stack from vibrating either. You would either need to build a wall that blocks the wind or make major modifications to the building. A vent pipe vent cover is not going to fix what your problem is.
This is the orfice effect that carbs on small engines and old cars used. There are ways of siphoning using this same effect.
How about a STUDOR VENT?
Bullshit. Vents pull air in and release it the wind will never affect a vent the wind will only affect gas appliances. Studor vents only allow air in not out.
Funny how this was on my timeline. I did Vo-Tech in carpentry for 3 years. We remodeling a home for training. I got the master bathroom. The instructor said this is your Budget and this is the code book. Code books are easy. 2 things. Minimum size max size. Min 2” max 4”. Done. But venting toilet problem. Instructor told me about this venting and said all other vents to it. I Learned this back in 1987. The instructor said what the video talked about. Why do you see odd things like a 3 inch vent pipe or in some cases a 4 inch vent pipe. If you have the room run one or two of them because somewhere in the codes you can only have so many vent pipes in to one. Like in the bathroom bathtub , 2 sinks , toilet all into a little 1.5 or 2 inch vent pipe that would not pass codes because if all of the appliances are running at the same time it ends up not being adequate venting. What was I gonna say he’s the instructor.
... up north they don't get too strict on the vent size inside the house but going through the roof MUST be at least 3 inches because the more water flows the more likely it will frost up in the winter. Yeah, there's lots of older homes with 1 or 2 inch vents and those are probably single bath houses.... AND... it seldom goes to -20 outside.... BUT... that's why we have a new code. (because some DO freeze up)
@@rupe53 I had to do some work on my septic lines. Went outside where the bathroom was started walking around kicking the dirt poking the dirt. It should be a four-inch pipe that comes off and comes right up to the top of the ground somewhere in this area. Nope not the case. This was like two years ago three years ago. My neighbors like what are you doing. Digging a hole running another check and vent pipe. He shaking his head. Well I got it all done. I see this on UA-cam about a month ago two months ago I can’t see when I posted. Maybe it was just a post from a state that said they change the codes or something. But I was always taught when I was in that field that’s how you run your vent pipes. As soon as I put mine in my wife comes out of the bathroom and goes what did you do to the toilet. She says it sounds like a vacuum cleaner when you flush it now. I said I eliminated back pressure lack of venting I allowed the water to go where it needs to go without any restriction so it creates a vacuum in the toilet bowl now. Because how fast the water is leaving the toilet. Now it’s a good thing because when we put the new environmental lesser water toilet in. It will flush perfectly.
when looking at a T or Y is the 3rd dimension always the T/Y part? 3x3x2 for example, the Y part is always the last one?
Thanks for sharing
Thank you 😊
Can I use the 3 inch vent behind the toilet to install a wall mounted toilet and use the adjacent lavatory as a vent, would this be sufficient to code? I would then close up the closet flange.
I am installing two toilets in my house. Will one vent in the bathroom farthest away be sufficient for both toilets going to a septic tank? My house is concrete block, so all vents have to be cut in the wall Thanks
Can I put 2 toilets in the same 3 inch horizontal drain within 6 feet of the drain/vent? And would i need to add a vent ?
Great illustration for the homeowners to understand just what you're talking about. "Okay so what you're telling me is that there is an air pipe in my sewer pipe to vent sewer gasoline where? " Or i know about the trap star and p cap, just dont overcharge me.
I was always under the impression that pumbing can never get So I was very surprised to see the 4" into 3"!
What is the purpose of venting a fixtures with a trap? Will the fixture function without a vent? How many bends can the toilet drain pipe have?
Haha you said more on. Haha. Great video it helped Mucho 🤙
Thanks Owen Wilson, how many more talents do you have we're unaware of?
You are the best!
Could I just use a continuous 4in pipe from toilet to sewage tank?
THANKS
What program are you using to make these 3d drawings? Looking for a good relatively easy to use program to draw some blueprints for indoor irrigation
I would love to have a program where modeling stick framing isn't like amputation.
عمل ممتاز جدا ومخطط رائع
So glad I only do permitted remodeling. I get to plumb according to what works based upon my multi-decades of experience.. Obviously there is more than one way to make it work...the code books offer at least 2 different ways.
Wow amazing video
Thank you for this. My home has every fixture (except a defunct shower that does not even have a trap) S-trapped, but my late plumber tried to fix it with circuit vents. They don't work very well though. My tub's trap will not hold water & I have it plugged up to keep sewer gases out. I'm planning to move a toilet to an exterior wall, install a new tub/shower, and a vanity (I'm swapping my laundry room with a tiny bathroom that is unusable). The DFU bit is useful.
They have one way check valves for vents that may be worth adding for the sink. Also the main sewer line vent may be too small.
@@adamplummer2190 I do have one through the roof-- looks to be about 2" pipe. I plan to tie in the washing machine, tub/shower, & toilet to that vent but the kitchen sink, lavatory, and other bathroom groups in the house will have their own separate vents.
@@catsmeow5566 make sure if it goes sideways it's above any water points or it can fill with stuff. May need to be snaked.
@@adamplummer2190 Yeah, all vents will be vertical for minimum 6" above flood level. For the ones not connected to main vent they will have their own individual vents that go through the wall, follow it up, and then elbow around the eaves and then elbow again to go above the roof. That is how the circuit vents are done. I am considering some AAVs for some of them since there is at least one atmospheric vent. The AAVs would be accessible for maintenance/replacement. Might need an AAV for kitchen sink specifically bc there is a window less than 6" above and if I tried to angle it around the window I'd hit electrical.
Usually that's when it's just a stack that just goes straight up out the roof and all of the plumbing is literally on that stack usually but that's pretty much only happening in older houses very older houses with maybe one maybe two bathrooms
That shit was informative! Thanks for the info.
Thank you sr
You should have made mention of the dry vent rules for the DIY pro.
Thanks.
Is there anything wrong to upsize the vent pipe just to make sure sufficient back pressure and code is met? for example installing 4" at all 3 toilets, to the roof just to have sufficient venting? We may end up adding additional toilets (large building), and without knowing for sure I'd hate to be digging out concrete to install more vents later..
Would a 3/4" or 1"inch per foot pass inspections?
Are vents required to be installed straight up? I used a vertical 4x4x2 sanitary T and a 2" 90° to vent a toilet recently. I needed the 4" to drop straight down a few feet and then 90 off to the main so it made sense to me to vent off that vertical section.
Dry vents must remain verticle until reaching 6" above the flood rim of the fixture unless washed by another fixture (sink, urinal or tub)(wet vent.) Also verticle is considered 45deg or steeper. A horizontal dry vent is not allowed below the flood rim of the fixture.Sounds like your 2"90 would be a violation.
Don't use sanitary On horizontal position. Not approved by ipc
Quick question does each toilet need to be vented or can 2 toilets use the same vent
Great video I will need to install a vent as the plumber did not
thanks
Please make more videos!!
