Thanks for this 💙 I’ve lived alone in a rental for 6 years and just removed and cleaned all my existing waste pipe work to fix the funky smell coming from under the sink/ washing machine, easy fix! Why no one shows you these things in school, I’ll never understand 🤷♀️

What a god send! 13 years later i realise what a joke job i did in my kitchen,. You have given me my confidence back. It's actually much easier that I made it! Thank you!!!!!
I agree - fitting the overflow is always a pain so if I'm fitting a new sink I fit the wastes and the overflow before dropping it into the hole in the worktop. Same for the tap if its fitted into the sink not the worktop. Had a tap last week which came with solid tails - so much more difficult to connect than flexis
Nice job. Very clear and useful. We have a 35 year older Franke double which is always blocking up so I’m going to rip all the waste out and start again.
ive a drip round the outlet sink rubber washer so thanks, i will go get a big screwdriver and see if I can nip it up from above. just what I was looking for james.
I’m confronted with exactly that box dilemma and so happy I stumbled upon your video. Informative and hilarious... so many videos about diy can be such a drain!
nice job! I always put plumber mate and especially silicone underneath just to make sure to not receive a call from the client after few days for a leak....
James, as always, wonderful job! you saved so much space in the cupboard, and didn't use any quick-flex drain hoses, all ridgid and nicely fastened pipe. What more could you ask. . .
Awesome just replaced old sink. Everything went well. Finished but not connected as waste outlet is in the corner of the cupboard. Think I need a flexible waste hose extension to finish off. Great advice here. Thanks.
1:50 On my sink the top bit is the basket strainer type and there is no rubber seal between that and the upper sink surface. There is one between the lower facing sink surface and the waste housing, so it should be water tight. The installer used a sealing compound for the upper surface but I would like to replace it with a washer but I can't get one, and my enquiries were answered by a reassurance that a rubber washer isn't needed. DO you have any advice about that?
hi, anyone know what waste kit this is? i have moved in to a place with a blanco sink and this looks like it might work for me. i just need the pipework under the sink not the bits what he is putting in at 1:34 . not sure what they are called, drain bowls? thanks
Hope you enjoy guys! Had a ball fitting this beast, although one of my camera's went a bit crazy on the focus, and I had a tiny solder run on an elbow....and I can't remember why....but hey that's life!
Awesome video - thanks, had to connect up my new sink & tap (plumbers called weren't interested apparently?) - used the same ssk2 kit you used and your method worked a treat. If I re-doing it I might tweak it a bit to get the pipes further back but as it is it's all water tight and I've got loads of room in the cupboard as the pipework is pushed nicely back.
I have the same fitting which have just started leaking but do not where to buy the same outlet piece with overflow Thank you for the help that should let me have a go at replacing.Please advise
My trap is at a 45 degree angle to fit in the gap and line up with the outside feed from where the old sink was higher up. So the water level sits just above the waste and slightly in one of the pipes that come horizontal under the main sink. Just wondering if I can leave this or should I drill more holes through the wall to run it vertically?
i'm here because I was hoping to see you fit a air-vent, of sorts attached to the waste U bend pipe like mine, ( which is leaking) couldn't buy a new valve , so blocked it off, but water slow to drain away now, and makes loud gurgling sound, as Air is blocked .Nothing else attached, just two taps and one waste pipe with U bend What to do?
@plumberparts I guess you don’t need to use Plumbers Mait on a modern sink waste system like that? I want to replace the sink basket/waste/plug hole on my Kitchen sink as it appears it’s not stainless steel like the sink was. Th chrome has come off and worried it’s going rusty. It’s only a bog standard kitchen sink. Just want it to look nice and newish. (Can’t afford a brand new kitchen).
Anyone know how to stop the gurgling sound when the washing machine or dishwasher is emptying? Can't find an air admittance valve that will fit into one of the spare spaces on top of the manifold....
Great video, followed well, the problem I have where you had a dish washer in, I have a washing machine instead, now when this drain it makes a right racket when draining, what can I do, when I put the plugs down in the sink, the sound goes, cheers
What ratchet pipe cutter is that you're using ? I've got a 40mm Rothenburger slice type but with those you have to have the right size for the pipe you're cutting. A ratchet one would be useful.
Top class video. You’re not wrong about different wastes! Cannot find a replacement popup waste that fits my sink for love nor money. They all seem too deep, most of them with outlet going down - mine comes out horizontally :( Any advice appreciated, can send a pic.
Hi, do you still check new comments? I got a replacement McAlpine waste unit and know how it should be installed but it seems shorter than the old one and the pipe struggles to reach it. If I secure everything there's still a bit of water dripping through, but it seems to come from where the waste secures to the pipe below. The old waste measures 60mm from top to bottom while the new one is 50mm (no seller seems to mention this when listing measurements so I can't find a longer replacement) and it was installed with a strange ribbed, almost funnel shaped rubber gasket between it and the sink bottom, which I have to use with the new one or it won't allow the pipe nut to screw on at all. Presumably this was used to bridge the gap because the right length of pipe wasn't installed at first, but it's not enough for the new waste and I'm not sure what to do. I can't remove the screw from the old one because it was corroded and had snapped. I only noticed this because I ran the hot tap before washing up and heard dripping under the sink, as the grate had popped up and the waste had moved down from the sink base. I couldn't dig the screw out to reuse the waste as pliers snapped the rest of it 😔
Another helpful video, can you do a Belfast sink sometime these seem to have a deeper outlet with combined waste which makes the screw/bolt too short how do you get around this please.
You are the most amazing plumber and trainer ever! 🥳 Funny, clear, perfectly done and crazy! Awesomely rad! Luff it! My new online BFF!! Hahaha! ‘Satisfaction everybody!’ 👍🏼🤟🏼👀👅
Love your videos, I know this question is relative to this video but I saw your Magnaclean video and I want to fit one. The problem I have is my filo and return are piped in from the top. I can't put it under the boiler. Where else can I put it? I'm holding tight for your answer. Thank you
James where would I get the best info from I am building a extension to my house I have a back boiler & I am looking to put in a pressurised system I also have Pv panels which I would like to connect to my cylinder I was talking to some1 in a shop he was just trying to sell me a direct cylinder from his business but I want a indirect cylinder if any ideas or some1 I could talk to would be great thanks ps love the videos
Great job I am only confused by the fact your still using copper for got an cold supply I am only surprised because I thought all you guys did plastic everywhere now.for me personally copper every time .
Hi i like watching ur video and you do encourage me for completing my 2years course NVQ plumbing and am nearly in the end I need to start doing some work experience what advice can you help me with and what sort of companies I should contact thx
w Johnstone I would like to know too, they look superb! The cheap ones I've got squash the pipe if you try to cut through in one go, so you have to turn them around the pipe as you cut :-)
Oh right. Wasn't aware of that. Recently started my level two at college and from memory the tutor said the bib tap would either have one built in or one on pipe before.

I'm completely useless with any DIY around the house, this video though has given me confidence to give my broken kitchen sink a go. Cheers geezer!

You are a brilliant instructor.
Great Video . Very helpful pretty concise too 👋👋👋 Thank you

Absolutely brilliant! You made something that looks a nightmare into something which is doable: Many thanks!
My thoughts exactly!!
Thanks for the advice, worked a treat 👌
yet another informative and easy to follow video , thank you
That has a to be the neatest piping I have ever seen.
really helpful from a self build point of view. good job.
No worries David! Glad to help!
Ever time spot on master plumber like it when someone does a great job none of that will do .
You are my plumbing guru, honestly...
hi, anyone know what waste kit this is? i have moved in to a place with a blanco sink and this looks like it might work for me. i just need the pipework under the sink not the bits what he is putting in at 1:34 . not sure what they are called, drain bowls? thanks
It's a double or 1 1/2 bowl waste kit you are looking for. Google under sink waste kit 1 1/2 and you should find a supplier nearby
That is neat. Brilliant job.
Hope you enjoy guys! Had a ball fitting this beast, although one of my camera's went a bit crazy on the focus, and I had a tiny solder run on an elbow....and I can't remember why....but hey that's life!
Very neat and tidy. A lot of plumbers or kitchen fitters fire these wastes in with no care and it looks crap. Good show!
Cheers Pat!
Keep these coming really enjoy the installation videos 👍
Nice one thanks 👍🏻👍🏻
I’ve got wast trap copper but no rubber on the top wast what goes into sink hole? Do I need anything for it it’s a granite sink be the way?
Thank you plumberparts;]
Awesome video - thanks, had to connect up my new sink & tap (plumbers called weren't interested apparently?) - used the same ssk2 kit you used and your method worked a treat.

Do you know where I can get a like that with manifold etc?
Ahhhh - tools on top of a brand new worktop!
What waste kit is that that has a 3piece manifold
I usually toss that waste stuff away use a tee piece and two traps ... one trap a spigot type 👍👍
Hi. Can you please give me a link to where I can get the exact same blanking caps as you use on this video
Please
Hi please help how do you replace the wast pipe that goes directly out of the main wall to drains (the outside part is leaking)
I have the same fitting which have just started leaking but do not where to buy the same outlet piece with overflow Thank you for the help that should let me have a go at replacing.Please advise
How wide is the screwdriver blade for the kitchen waste bolt? Where to get it?
Love ur videos 👌🏾👌🏾
My trap is at a 45 degree angle to fit in the gap and line up with the outside feed from where the old sink was higher up. So the water level sits just above the waste and slightly in one of the pipes that come horizontal under the main sink. Just wondering if I can leave this or should I drill more holes through the wall to run it vertically?
Anyone know what make/model that mixer tap is? Thanks
What make was that sink waste kit please. Can’t find it anywhere.
Very useful, thanks you :-) wondering what is the third copper pipe on the right for, is it a water filter?
Thanks that was really helpful and entertaining 😁 new subscriber 👍🏻

Total legend.. I had a panic attack when I opened my under sink box lol. Very helpful 👌
Dont you have double bowl connectors or combination traps in the uk? Manifolds seem like overkill for a sink.
So does the washing machine attach to the middle top or the side of the manifold?
Very helpful, cheers.
Anyone know how to stop the gurgling sound when the washing machine or dishwasher is emptying?
Can't find an air admittance valve that will fit into one of the spare spaces on top of the manifold....
Very help full thanks
loved the video james.

You make it look so easy!

Any advice appreciated, can send a pic.
You didn't mention how to plumb the waste pipe into an outside drain. Good video though!, I enjoyed watching it!
What height did you first fix the waste?
what was that blue thing? pump, filter?
Hi, do you still check new comments? I got a replacement McAlpine waste unit and know how it should be installed but it seems shorter than the old one and the pipe struggles to reach it.

4:06, funniest thing, eva?
Another helpful video, can you do a Belfast sink sometime these seem to have a deeper outlet with combined waste which makes the screw/bolt too short how do you get around this please.
Hi James,
What were the fixings used into the block wall?
Probably coach bolts.
Absolutely legend thank you 🙏🏻
I connected everything corrected but my water is not draining, any idea what went wrong?
You are the most amazing plumber and trainer ever! 🥳 Funny, clear, perfectly done and crazy! Awesomely rad! Luff it! My new online BFF!! Hahaha! ‘Satisfaction everybody!’ 👍🏼🤟🏼👀👅
Can somebody tell me what the blue thing under the sink is please?
Hi new to your channel and omg its awesome, how do I find out what size of kitchen sink plug trap and waste like what you fitted on this job?
Do you advise using silicone underneath the chrome strainer?
He would say use plumbers mait, maybe.
Great video, thanks.
Love your videos, I know this question is relative to this video but I saw your Magnaclean video and I want to fit one. The problem I have is my filo and return are piped in from the top. I can't put it under the boiler. Where else can I put it? I'm holding tight for your answer. Thank you
Send me a pic on FB, Twitter or Insta mate and I'll tell you!
Thank you
Hi
Did you drive a screw straight into the breeze block just then? or was it editing magic?
If you did, please tell me all about them .
Use concrete screws or bolts, go to Screwfix they have them
I've used concrete screws before, and they're good. They need a pilot hole normally. It looks like normal screws in the video, driven straight in.
How do you get the rubber bit on those overflows to seal against the sink? My one leaks no matter how much I tighten the screw!
Eicles don't overtighten them otherwise you'll break them you could always use a small amount of clear silicone
Legend 👏
My sink keeps gurgling. Do I just replace the pipes? Xx
Does the dishwasher waste slack affect the drainage from the dishwasher? Would it damage the pump by popping an extension on the dishwasher waste?
Very helpful, Thanks very much
got anything on Microbore heating systems ?
What screws did you use to go straight into the wall?
James where would I get the best info from I am building a extension to my house I have a back boiler & I am looking to put in a pressurised system
I also have Pv panels which I would like to connect to my cylinder I was talking to some1 in a shop he was just trying to sell me a direct cylinder from his business but I want a indirect cylinder if any ideas or some1 I could talk to would be great thanks ps love the videos
I how are you venting the kitchen sink stack?
where do you get those waste cutters from mate?
Could you come over and fix our plumbing system please?? Our 5 storey house has leaks everywhere... Exactly like the film “The Money Pit” lol 😋
Where did you buy the was trap? Screwfix dont sell that. ))
Great job I am only confused by the fact your still using copper for got an cold supply I am only surprised because I thought all you guys did plastic everywhere now.for me personally copper every time .
Top job mate, but I’m about to fit my kitchen but have a two draw and 1 1/2 bowl🤔
Great vid. What pipe cutter are you using?
That's an OX one....
Was gonna ask the same thing, my rothenbergers are crap, they never open up fully and seise up
Hi i like watching ur video and you do encourage me for completing my 2years course NVQ plumbing and am nearly in the end I need to start doing some work experience what advice can you help me with and what sort of companies I should contact thx
What cutters are you using James
w Johnstone I would like to know too, they look superb! The cheap ones I've got squash the pipe if you try to cut through in one go, so you have to turn them around the pipe as you cut :-)
Try Rothenberger pipe cutters. Not the cheapest gear but quality is second to none.
Was going to ask the same question! They seem to do a good job. I've had a few but they don't cut great.
the outside tap supply seems to have a double check valve missing ?
Some have one built into the tap.
Which is a failure under water regs, there needs to be one inside the fabric of the building :)
Oh right. Wasn't aware of that. Recently started my level two at college and from memory the tutor said the bib tap would either have one built in or one on pipe before.
Your tutor is sadly wrong, look at page 6.42 in the water regs book
Did no one teach you to put towels down on the worktops before you whack your tools down! Cmon J
MW C shut it he's a pro 👍
Raf Loolx exactly
MW
Have you not heard of non scratch tools. Where have you been for the last decade?
Lol at the guy trapped on the roof @27secs. He's probably not stuck but it amuses me to think he was.
Nice
Just found this. Guess what I'm doing today. Tyvm.
Can you make a video for the single kitchen sink please? Thank you
you say "absolute legend" but your subtitles say "poopsie knitted". Nicely done sir
