YOu did an excellent job of verbally describing your fix as well as showing it in a manner that even a non-professional or lay person could easily understand and follow. Nice job and kudos to you for your presentation.
As a hvac contractor for 35 yrs, GREAT JOB, Great idea and presented like a Master, Thank You😇
This is a clear, concise and quality presentation. Thank you for taking the time.
Top shelf video here. I followed it to a T and I was done in under 15 mins. No more dragging my wet/dry vac outside to suck the pipe out which did ok, but not like a water flush. Theres another video on here of a guy selling a similar setup for 49.99. Im not knocking small business, but if i can diy and save cash, im all in!
I put together something similar to this today, inspired by this video. Spent about $20 in parts + primer and glue. I was flushing the line by removing the line and duct taping a garden hose to the end of it every few months, but that got old and was very messy. This works a LOT better! Thanks for the inspiration.
As an HVAC service tech I WISH everyone had this lol Nice vid man, I was shocked when you did everything correctly. guess I should watch more of your vids haha
Haha Thank you :).
Very good easy to follow instructions,thank you.
Seems like one a year I have to deal with my drain pipe clogging so I jumped on here to search for a solution and I must say this is the BEST SOLUTION for keeping the drain clear of clogging. Simple setup that will save us money, time & headache in the long run.
Thank you for making this video man. Cheer's!!
I just did this today as I had a clog. I followed the video exactly including the parts and the joy of listening to water pushing out the gunk was priceless. Thank you for the valuable video!!
Its a great video..
No overly loud music intro (✔)
No long explanations ✔
Concise ✔

Solves the problem ✔
So good that anyone who doesn't like it is just nit picking or misinformed
I had this set up in an apartment which made it easy maintenance..
I've watched thousands of DIY videos. Yours was excellent. Nice job keeping it short, clear and effective.
God Bless you for this video my husband died from covid and he handled this kind of stuff for us. I called two plumbers they just wanted me to buy a whole new system so I you tube for this and got you - what a god send! Thank you for making this video helped me tremendously!!!!!
I did this. It is the way to go. I watched many videos and spend a lot of money on "pros" to clean out the line. DIY rocks.
Excellent!! I wish I had seen this earlier. I just finished cleaning up water in my pantry and laundry room floor because of a clogged AC drain. I am going to add this to my drain line this weekend. Thank you!
Best idea I've seen!!! Simple, straight forward, cost effective and proactive. Thanks!!
Excellent DIY! Worked like a charm, took 5 min to complete. No more vac or bleach or wet garage floor from overflows. Thanks!
5 years later and someone is still finding your vid useful!! Just had to clean out a backed up line yesterday. TY
This is exactly what I need!!! I'll be doing this tomorrow! Thanks for sharing!!!
That is incredible. We’ve spent the morning cleaning out our line with the hose and shop vac. Really a pain. Your solution is amazing. You are a thinker.
I have been looking for this solution for like...FOREVER.
Thank you for such a precise and intelligent presentation.
I made the same exact set up years ago & I love how easily the line flushes out
Thanks for the video, it definitely helped me out. Also your power tool storage at the end is pretty epic!
Best video of this kind I can find on internet! Thumps up! Thanks for a very clever method, a very clear video. Good job!
Thank you.
So simple!! What a great idea!! You rock man!! I bought all of my "puzzle" pieces yesterday. I can't wait to do get it installed tonight after work
+Mike2oo7 Thanks. Hopes its goes well for you.
This helped me fix our AC and is great for maintaining the line. Thank you!!
That was one really well made video. Nicely narrated and filmed!
Very well explained and demonstrated!!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you for this video, took very little time to add this in and flush my line. Highly recommend this for anyone who has had a clogged drain line.
Thank you so much for making this video. You make it so very simple and easy to follow. Ever since my daddy has passed away I have had to take over taking care of this type of stuff. I do not have the money to call a professional every time. I wasn't sure what the clear tubing was even there for. Now not only do I know its purpose but how to clean it out. Again, Thank You!
Thanks! going to home depot tomorrow to get the part!
Did this last week. Thank you for posting this!
Brilliant advice and tutorial! I've always just poured a little bleach into the condensate line and flushed it with water through a funnel. Installing the valve to prevent backwash so that you can blast it out is the ultimate solution. Thanks!
Exactly what I was looking for. thanks for all the detail.
Great explanation! I have been wanting to know this just couldn’t find someone to describe the contents needed and the how-to. Thanks
Terrific video instructions. Very concise. Best video on this topic I've looked at hands down. Bravo!
We have been struggling with this clogged line business for a while and it is frustrating!!! Loved your video and explanation! It started off with all those components and I thought there was no way we could do this but as it went along it was so clear and concise and easy to follow!!!!! Excellent advise and and video! Thank you!!!!!!
Oops--excellent ADVICE and video!
Awesome! Looks like a project this weekend to fix my clogged drain line. Thanks!
Outstanding video. Great idea and very clear explanation. Well done!
Dear Sir, thank you for showing me how to prevent AC drain clogging. This helped very much. Blessings, pierre from New Mexico
Your welcome :)
This is exactly the solution i was looking for. You saved me a lot of homework. Thumbs up.
Great job, I like the way this was put together. My system has none of this, but it will soon.
Well put together process easy to follow, simplistic, well narated and extremely effective - Brilliant 5 Star!
Great Idea! I need to make this mod for my mother-in-laws AC unit. She had a problem with her AC and it turned out that the drain line need to be flushed. She had a AC guy come out. When I took a look at her line it did not have open line to flush out the dirty clogged drained. My own has access but I will had your design to mind and hers. Great video!
Great job on the DIY video and explanation. Very helpful and better than many other posts in practicality. Thank you sir!
Excellent presentation and just what I need after climbing out of a hot Florida attic to siphon water out of the pan to turn the handler back on. Thanks!!!
Your welcome, thank you.
The quality of this instructional video is on point! It was easy for this new to understand!!!
Great video! This was very easy to follow and understand. I'll have to visit more of your tip videos.
That's exactly what I need. Great idea, well verbalized, the video is also short and to the point. Thank you! But I will use distilled vinegar instead of chlorine.
Very cool. You made it look so simple. Great ideas. Thank you.
Excellent, practical system. Thanks for posting this!
Very nice work and presentation. Quick, precise and easy to understand. Keep up the good work.
Exactly what I need...thanks for thinking it out for me!! BTW, Lowes had a garden hose to PVC pipe adapter, so I only needed that and a threaded PVC cap.
Great video, easy to understand, great information, great installation.
Thank you so much for your time to share your time and talents, save me time and money. Kenny
Great straightforward instructions...everyone else should follow your presentation method. Thanks
Great job making it seem easy! Keep up the good work!
I have watched a few videos on this and this is the best one by far. Great video. Awesome job. Easy explanation with the plans were well thought out ahead of time. Now I just need to head to the hardware store. Thanks for such a great explanation and the great video.
Super slick drain flushing trick! Thanks for sharing!
Dope setup! Preciate you, sir!
We watched several videos on this..... By far and away, you are the BEST! Thanks!
Thank you
This the best one I have seen thank you. My cut off valve was closed. No wonder it leaking
Cool idea. I’m going to do this to my drain line. It’s so simple. Thank you for the video!
Great job with the video, great style. All points covered without too much unnecessary chatter.
Great Idea! I will use this setup for now on! My drain line has a different configuration, so I used my air compressor to blast out the clogged line. I am off to depot to buy the parts this morning!
I had similar idea but you made it work! Thank you for posting.
Oh man! This is a GREAT IDEA!!! Thank you, sir!
Nice work, thank you for sharing. Very clean setup.
This is a very clever and complete way to solve a recurring and potentially costly problem, Thanks!
+Bill Dixon Thanks
Thanks for taking the time to share your skills. I like the idea of the cutoff valve and hose connection. Good job!
Your welcome. Thanks
I really loved your ideas of the valve and a water bottle.
Props on an excellent presentation!
Genius. Trying this over the weekend. Thanks.
Thanks for a very informative video. These are some great ideas.
Great video, love the marking of the PVC during dry fit.

u just blew my mind!!
so simple but yet VERY effective.
Thank you :)
As a HVAC tech, this is a fantastic idea. Well done. I would like to install this prior to the p trap due to it being the problem 99.99% of the time.
Great idea. Excellent presentation. Clear and concise... thanks!
WOW....Just paid $175 to have my system flushed and could have done the work myself. Companies love systems that don't have your set up and the video was excellent and very informative. Thanks
excellent tutorial man, keep the good work and video format is easy to follow
Excellent job of presenting innovative and proven method/information quickly!
Awesome presentation. Short & sweet. Very well explained. speeded up the camera was a great idea to avoid the waiting time. I'll give him 5 Stars *****
This video is awesome! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Hardest part was finding all the parts at HD.
I put the whole thing together outside and then went into the attic and cut the drain and installed it.
Thank you, That's awesome and smart
Great video boss, very nice way to clear the line. I like the compressor option also being there
Nice job. Some well needed tips for the troublesome a/c drains. Thank you
I saw your video about two years ago. Now I had my pipe plugged up with junk, my fault. I cleaned it out and re-did some of it. I will go back and install a cutoff valve because this really should help.
This is a great video. Thank you for doing such a good job explaining the drain flush design.
Excellent demonstration and explanation....Perfect .
Great setup!
very good explanation. you keep inspiring me to take on projects. keep making these videos
Slick job. Well thought out and demonstrated.

Outstanding. I have an active leak in the attic as I write this. Off to Home Depot for the parts. Thank you for the advice and the great instructional video.
+Steve Sipos Thanks , hope it works out for you.
