Check valve might have prevented a backflow from the sanitary line into the basement. Since that looked to be the lowest and closest to the street, that backflow/one way/check valve IMO as there for a purpose. Might want to reinstall something to prevent a backflow from the sanitary...
Good thing that the riser for the washer is higher then the cities manhole.
Looks like something did flow back!
but a check valve would stop the upstairs drains from pouring into the basement through that new drain if the line becomes plugged outside the house. Check valve is just great insurance in the basement...
that brass swing check valve is for pressurized potable water.The brass gate inside is too heavy for gravity flow...even if it wasn't stuck. Just put a 3 or 4 inch back-flow preventer on the whole house if ya think ya need to....in 10 years you'll be dig'n it up to remove the stuck gate.
Just got a new washer and dryer and got almost this exact same models. Wife wanted something with knobs, not all that fancy stuff. They work great but they sure like to sit there for a second and think about things.
Nice work, I really enjoyed it :)
The extra hight drain line may result in slow drainage rate and possibly flow back of the grey water trapped into the line back in the washer drum.
Ok
That washer is pumping along way there ,next level!
I was dying when you laughed pushing the broom through lmaoo
Ha ha ha, giggling like a school boy when you were using the broom.
Nice job steve.
Check valves are not allowed on DWV in my area but you must install a backwater valve on any underground installation. That way you don’t have to go as high on the riser .
Great job Steve perfect situation....nothing in your way, no garbage or mice and certainly no helicopter
God damn steve, sounded like you enjoyed giving that old cast iron pipe the gundy, nxt lvl
I pissed my pants on this one Steven when you picked up his broom.
Broom Hilda giving that drain the ole Gundy ... Lol ... If you ain't nothing else , by golly your entertaining ...That was a nice looking install , good vid Stevie Boy ...
Maybe throw a clamp or two on to secure the pvc drain to the wall?
m ph what for? Not that heavy...
Why not a frost free hose bib for outside? Nice work with the pex
I was wondering the same thing???
Your an awesome plumber Steve. I enjoy all of your videos. Make some more boiler repair videos.
At least this basement had good lighting. Yesterday's was a dungeon.
That outside silcock would freeze solid here in the Midwest. Frost free only, by code.
The only problem is the dryer should be on the right side and the washer on the left. The dryer's door is now in your way when switching clothes.
In our village we can't use BX or Romex in our basement anymore, it's all got to be in conduit
Seems like a good application for a pump up sink. Also looks like they have gas service, why in the world would someone with gas service use an electric dryer and an oil burner?
That little pup is so cute
Vent seem to be too low, all it will take a couple of snow storms to shut it close, what's the minimum required in your state?
Nice job. I wish you could come to my place to install a washer hook up. I need a line to the main pipe outside for drainage and a line inside for water.
That drain hoses is not supposed to be that high up
Why does the PVC pipe for washer drain have to be so high?
@@wysetech2000
Maybe, but it is a improper install. The washer drain should not be that high. The pumps are not designed for that height. They should not exceed the height of the control panel. So now when the unit plugs constantly with lint and or pump failure happens the owners will blame Whirlpool corp, (which makes Maytag) now for the fault when it was improperly installed to begin with. Same goes for the dryer. When it fills with lint it will fry the thermal fuse in the blower housing. If the customer wanted this where it is I would not do this job. F!#@ him. Maybe Steve does not know this , and it is hard to know it all.
Come hell or high water Steve Lav is (always) working again.
you shouldnt use rubber hoses for drains on dishwashers or washing machines. they kink after a while. they make them out of corrugated plastic now for a reason. if you must use a rubber hose. put a gooseneck on it. cheers steve
Putting alot of faith in the cheap made pump in the washer. Depending on use, 2 maybe 3 years of good operation.
I would put a in use outdoor cove over that receptacle for the next time the drain backs up.
Good point, and placing that outlet so close to drain line was bad decision in the first place. The owner should have an electrician move it away from that spot.
9 mama's boys thumbed this video down because they have broom handle flashbacks from their past. Thanks Steven!
It's funny I'm self-taught and I do that exact same job all the time just like you. I just started using the pex about a year ago
I was so confused, first I see Pex tubing, then a flex dryer duct, and then a broom... figured Steve woulda ran copper down, and some rigid piping.. the flex stuff is ok, (at least its not the ol pvc crap) but I would have probably considered running the pipe a foot or two higher in case of snow.. though I guess if its an electric dryer who cares...
Thank you for all the videos, I have learned a lot from them.
Give it the old broom action mama!
Nice that you use the Oetiker style cinch clamps instead of the crimp rings. I like the clamps better also. Easier to get into spaces where you don't have access the whole way around the fitting, can be removed without destroying the fitting, and I just trust the design more personally.
I always thought the drain shouldn't be higher than the top of the washer.
grny28
This is true. No higher than the control panel. Whirlpool will not cover pump failure for this Maytag with the drain that high when it fails. It also can plug up with lint and pump real slow this way as well. The dryer vent should not be that high either. The dryer thermal fuse will fail in the blower when the pipe gets full of lint. The lint filter does not stop all of it.
And that’s why you always double check your work..............
Good job Steve !
Discharge on the washer way too high the PCV pipe could’ve been cut in half. Seen many of those installations but never that high it’s almost at the ceiling.
The broom handle had me laughing..nice job
Hey Steve are those hot and cold washer valves prone to leaking I have one in a house that was built in 1988 and I’m afraid to turn it off
Don't be affraid!!!!, if it starts leaking it can be replaced!!!!!
Zenmaister11 S well I understand that but it comes right out of my drywall and I really REALLY don’t feel like ripping the walls apart just to replace it ....i figured it out it I just shut the whole house off .....I’m not messing with it unless it’s an emergency
@@stifflers69mom1 You should not have to rip anything out!!!!!. Use a big flatblade screwdriver, remove the big screws from the housing, remove housing from the nipples that are soldered to the pipes. replace just the.o rings and the valve . Use the.existing nipples that are soldered to the pipes in the wall.
This video was very helpful for me. I had a similar setup. Thank you.
Ain't no Taj Mahal, Steve Lav...
The ole broom snake..... Shit show. Lol
Give it the ole Jed Clampett ya’ll.
What’s going on,you giving in with the pex! Lol
Nice job.
Good win with the broom lol!!!!
Hey I found your channel, what part of New York you from? That was pretty wild with the water coming out! Wow! 😆 "I love when he said, put a Jed clampett on it". Lol... Classic!
Steve's from Massachusetts
Flex for dryer vent
Sometime when the shit hits the fan all you can do is laugh!
Why did you decide to switch from copper piping to pex tubing - cheaper, less work, faster?
Is not to much for the washer pump to rise the water that far up?
Hi steve hello from London England 🏴, the vertical white waste pipe needs to be clipped to the wall to support the weight of the black hose & a new non return waste valve should have been re installed to stop back flow from horizontal cast iron drainage .
Great point on the back flow part.
THE DRAIN PIPE IS TOO HIGH
Yeah, no shet! Cut it down lower!
actually, it can be up to 8ft high for most modern clothes washers.
Steven's laughing / giggling is so cool =)
I like those sillcock valves
Wish that outlet was a little farther away from all the water valves and drain, but I guess you gotta do what you have to sometimes.
Ms. Molly has settled in nicely... Looking stylish in her Spring Outfits.
nice job steve...arent check valves in DWV system not allowed anymore??
Why not use a frost free outside faucet?
Where did you get the hose that you are using for the drainage?
7/8 black rubber hose ==washer machine hose
Hi Steve, great information Thanks
Hi Steve, that long riser is not needed, a 24-30" length piece would have sufficed. Also less wear and tear on the washer pump down the road. Still a good job all and all!
I don’t think it’s code the way it is.
You maybe right, 2" trap and drain is code in other areas.
clean out for the 2” pvc washer drain or isnt it required? nice clean install.
clean out ??? unhook the clamp and snake it .
oh yeah, what am i thinking? thats why you are the plumber!
Why so high all u need is 45'' from floor to top that's all .
smart move with the pull tie
Good job
very very good of job
I dont kown where he connected the waste water to from the dryer
Where did get the 7/8 hose?
its not over till its over!!!
good editing at 0:45 looks like a single shot...
I had the same thought. Perfect continuity there though not intended. In editing, like in life, sometimes you get lucky :-)
What kind of torch do you use?
I can just see all of the trolls having the shakes because Steve's actually use pex today
What if the sewer line clogs past the washer drain and a toilet is flushed up stares. That would be a real shit show.
Font loaders always has a checkvalves to prevent that from happening, but then again, they are always hooked up onto solid pipe with hose clamps, not just inserted into a wider open stack pipe. It is pointless this way. Don't know about top loaders if they have integrated check valve or not.
Lead trap?
Broom handle in the pipe
Why is riser so tall
Drain hose is to high has to be no more than 96" high.
Stevie why did you install the indirect drain so high?
It doesn't matter, if you put it lower than the tank the water will not be able to come out and will return to the tank.
1 supertech wanted you to use bread.
kdmq No just pro press.
some measurements would of been nice.
Jed Clampett 😂
Hey Steve??
for the drain plumbing code in canada:
6''-18'' p trape
18''-30'' stand pipe
if so high : you have to install another drain pump with flow control valve / one way valve
Come on Steve, get with times. Use pex A.
Steve that homeowner just open a can of problems those washers suck they always have problems. Peace brother and Molly
@@wysetech2000 believe this or not I have a older Kenmore from Sears upright washer top loader which is a whirlpool it's the 80 series I bought it in the mid-to-late 90s. They are very easy to work on. I had to replace the capacitor twice and the lid switch once and I had to change the dog ear gears in the agitator but other than that it's been pretty good to me. Those were very minor repairs
If I ever have to replace this washer I'm going to try to get the same type. I know they still make them. Peace brother
@@jeffcoolhd
I got the 90 Series Kenmore made by Whirlpool. Do you have the wigwag transmission or the one that is direct drive? Mine is a 1984. I replaced the motor and cap last year. Replaced the timer twice. Replaced the water pump twice. Replaced the lint filter twice. The water tub was leaking due to rust. I scraped it and put a whole tube of silicone on it spread it out all is good. Shes taken a beating over the years but still looks new. My parents bought the set new and I'm good at keeping it running. The new stuff is cheaper built. However I still stand behind Whirlpool stuff. I have the gold series dishwasher its 6 years old haven't done nothing to it and it runs almost daily here...lol.
@@NY411Info it is funny that you said something about the pump I'm thinking that's going to be the next thing I will have to replace or maybe the timer but I love this whirlpool very simple to work on. About a month ago I took the agitator and drum out of it and cleaned the outside of the drum and the inside of the tub. You would be surprised with all the build-up inside there it's like I have a brand new washer now. And the whole machine looks brand new. Peace brother
@@NY411Info I'm pretty sure mine is the direct drive unit. It has the motor connected to the transmission with a shaft there is no belts
That black hose from the washing machine to the Stand pipe is the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen.
That drain pipe is way too high anyway. I've had to replace the pump due to improper installation. The pump they use on most newer washers is just a small electric thing, better suited for an aquarium than a washer.
You didn't need to hook up a gas line for the dryer?
its electric
🙃
but the dryer goes on the right...
lmao Dryer is on left side in my place and always has been.
@@killerdeamonking I'm sure they are - in hell
@@amesavis nahh they work perfect, the door on the dryer was set to work on the left side anyways. Funny thing is the dryer and washer both have water lines on them lol something we arent used to seeing.
How much for that dog...?
dog is not forsale
this is a story bout a man named Jed..........
Always gotta be some haters clicking thumbs down!
19:57 LOL!
20:00 sigh, I should call her 😢
I hate when she friggin steams out on ya. Can make a good day of soldering, go bad real quick...
I don't know Steve, looks like that check valve is needed there dude.. But then again a professional knows the best, so I'm not top argue with you. I also hate hate hate when other people tell me how to do my job so sorry for that, cheers dude, nice work! and as always, shes a leaka mama XD
That was machine is the worst one that Maytag made
19:51 hahaha!!!!!
"that ain't so good" lol
