For the basement bathroom, so that ends up going into a sanitation pit, then pumped out to the septic? Very interesting, you will have to cover that equipment when you install. I guess I thought the septic lines would be below the basement footer but they must be above. Great work!
*OK, so for my under the floor piping under the basement floor, that will take all the waste water into the sewer line, I am thinking to put a 5 inches schedule 80 pipe. Cost doesn't bother me. Are there any drawbacks for this application? I just wanted to have a stronger and wider pipe under the floor so I, hopefully, never have to dig the basement floor to treat the broken or narrow pipe.*
When it comes to sewer, bigger is not always better. The liquid can move more quickly than the “solids”, thus…not draining properly. You really should consult an experienced plumber on this.
A P trap will be at every fixture once the bathroom is put in. A toilet comes with its own built in P trap. The bathtub's P trap will be installed in the access box, the sinks P trap will be in the future wall that's built. Thanks for your comment!
The venting is completely separate from the P traps. P traps hold water in place after draining so sewer gases are blocked from coming into the house. Vents protect the P traps from being sucked dry while the water is draining. The vents accomplish this by keeping the air pressure at a neutral atmospheric pressure. A great analogy is the small air inlet on a gas can. Hope this helps!
Nice work. Gotta get it right, because once concrete goes down it ain't moving. :) Curious to why you're adding a vent for the toilet? Isn't it already vented from behind by both of the 2" shower and vanity vents? Could be different where you are, but I'm pretty sure our code requires the toilet vent to be within 6'. Not that it matters in your case as you have the equivalent of a 4" wet vent within 3' already.
Thanks for your comment! It's funny because I've had people troll this video with comments saying it's under vented! You are correct though! It is already vented enough without the other one added. I just figured why not add it because I know a wall is going there anyways and that I could always cap it if not used.
@@beckyschwantes5287 After the concrete is poured, it gives you an access to hook up the bath tub later. It's almost impossibe to install the tub pipe in the perfect spot before hand. Thanks for commenting!
In this case it could be. It would have been better for you to have listened in on the discussion I had with the inspector. After our detailed talk about the exact subject, he happily gave me the green sticker.
In a case where an additional drain line could never be added to the vent later on, when the concrete grade is an issue with a Y on its back. Sometimes codes can be overlooked. Straight from the inspector's mouth. The venting air doesn't know the difference. In 99.9% of other situations, your comment is absolutely true!
For 10 inches just until it enters the house. What would you recommend? The gas meter itself is galvinized piping. I must be missing something and want to make sure It's done safely and correctly.
Good question! That way the clean out will be hidden in the wet bar base cabinet on the other side of the wall instead of being seen in the batheroom wall.
Hey, thanks for commenting! The drain for the sink comes off of the 2-inch vent pipe. We couldn't come up out of the floor because of the stanchion pole footing.
I DON'T KNOW BUT THE 2 INCH VENT FOR THE TOILET IT,S KINDA FAR WHY YOU DON'T INSTALL THE BATHROOM PIPE PROPERLY VENT FIRST AND THEN THE TOILET WITH A VENT THE WAY IT'S LAYOUT LOOK'S LIKE YOU MIXED THE DRAINS WITH THE VENT'S I MAY WRONG , BUT IT'S JUST MY OWN OPINION .....GOOD JOB ANY WAY 👍
The vent is close enough. I gotta green sticker on it. Thanks for the comment. I just uploaded 2 more videos on our main house drain plumbing if you wanna check them out. Thanks again.
Thanks for the video! I never thought of having the toilet last in line. Makes sense! (I'm just a homeowner)
This was a strangely useful video for me. I like how you explained why you did things.
I appreciate your comment. We're going to do have more videos on the main plumbing drains coming up soon.
Gold! , thanks David!
You're welcome.
Dude I like your knowledge, I like to put the toilet last because the cleaner more solid free water washes it down.
Thank you! Right on!
@Dave Underwood good job on the plumbing I'm a fellow Michigander
I think people should preface the videos with where they are and what code they use
You could always make one for us!

Yeah, unfortunately the septic main is higher. I'm not a big fan of ejector pumps either.

@@999raiderz I'll be fine.
@@999raiderz You have no clue how much experience I have.
@@999raiderz Slope is more important than size. Size has nothing to do with it.
Need a trap primer technically
How come you didn't use a P Trap? Is the venting enough? I'm about to rough in my basement and I'm a little confused on this.

I said 3/8 long bit. I meant 3/8 bit that is a long bit! Lol!

I have seen this before . What is the idea behind the box at the shower?

The vent is required to be a certain distance from the trap…
@@999raiderz Yep!
Sanitary ts can not be used on there back every fuxture needs a vent

Galvanized for gas line!???

100% proper !Exposed to the elements = galvanized !
Why not put the lav clean out tee above the lav drain t. Rather in another room.
Good question! That way the clean out will be hidden in the wet bar base cabinet on the other side of the wall instead of being seen in the batheroom wall.
why not use 4 inches pipe for toilet drain?
Not needed.
clean glue joints!
Thank you so much for noticing! Means alot!
U have tub and toilet but where is bath sink drain 🤔
Hey, thanks for commenting! The drain for the sink comes off of the 2-inch vent pipe. We couldn't come up out of the floor because of the stanchion pole footing.
I DON'T KNOW BUT THE 2 INCH VENT
FOR THE TOILET IT,S KINDA FAR
WHY YOU DON'T INSTALL THE BATHROOM
PIPE PROPERLY VENT FIRST
AND THEN THE TOILET WITH A VENT
THE WAY IT'S LAYOUT LOOK'S LIKE YOU MIXED
