Meanwhile, in my world…..go to home center and discover they don’t have all the needed pieces in ABS or PVC, buy many elbow combinations of each, go home, still doesn’t work. Go back to home center, buy more stuff, repeat 4 more times, cut multiple lengths of pipe to make everything fit because the first 3 pieces were too long or too short. Take a break for dinner. Make sure no one uses the sink. Still doesn’t fit. Go back to home center and buy multiple universal kits with the bendy hose.. jury rig everything together , check for leaks, redo do 2 more times because there are leaks, tighten every connection just short of failure, no leaks, stand back and admire a job well done.
Add in drive 70 miles round trip b/c the local Lowes doesn't have the same plumbing selection that the one in the next town does. Still not sure I have everything I need to make it work. I could order it from them but it won't be here for 5 days unlike the auto parts store which can usually have things for me within 24 hours...
If this is really for beginners then I would recommend dry fitting everything before glueing a single piece. But a nice video. Well paced and easy to understand.
Dry fitting can be difficult on friction-fit joints as they won’t always bottom out until they’re wetted with glue. You’ll probably end up cutting too short for a full fit. Better just to trust your tape.
I'm helping my Mom out by installing two new vanities and sinks that are both smaller and offset from the old ones she had. This is the exact problem I wasn't exactly sure how to fix properly. This gave me all the confidence I needed to get it done! (Not a plumber. Just handy with things and a Son trying to help his mom save some money) Thank you for this excellent tutorial! Love it.
I work at Home Depot plumbing department and at least couple times a week I have to explain this very process to DIY customers, some understand it right away others I have to go over and over and over this process. Great video 👍🏻
I love the simplicity of your instructions. For a female without knowledge, it helps me to understand the instructions better when there’s not a lot of useless talking. Thank you
Certain portions of plastic pipes are threaded to allow you to tie one segment to the next. This eliminates the need to glue one part to the next which is best avoided if possible. It will make it easier to take apart and reassemble if you need to clean out debris causing the drain to clog.
Trap adaptor and union Ptraps make it easy to take apart for cleaning or maintenance. Because trap 90 is glued to the trap arm, line clean out is installed for drain cleaning. Thanks for your comment.
This is the best, most straightforward video explaining this process that I've found. Thank you very much for sharing!! You probably just saved me HOURS of struggling 👍🙂
Straight to the point. I am presently facing this situation and you answered my question simply and easily. Off to Home depot for that 45. I was not aware of the slope requirement. Thank you
EXCELLENT video. I've never had to deal with a 2" black pipe coming out of the wall like this before where any glueing of pieces was involved. Old house, new "opportunity" for learning I guess. This video was amazing!
Not bad. The only thing that bugs me is that you didn't ream the inside of the cut pipes to ensure smooth flow. Little jagged ABS pieces can easily cling onto hair and start to cause clogs over time.
That bothered me three. I am not a pro, but I would install some cardboard on the bottom of the cabinet to prevent drips. I liked how he gave the bottle of glue a little tilt to get glue on the brush. He must have done thousands of sinks. Good video, don't mean to be picky. Cheers.
Amazing video. You went over every single thing I needed to know. It’s also awesome to watch a professional at work, you make it seem so easy! As a DIYer I like how you held both pieces in one hand and the glue in the other. Will definitely do that next time instead of fumbling everything around since I don’t have a method lol.
On top of the great content (exactly what I needed), I really enjoyed the calmness (and music) and simplicity of your presentation. Too often videos are amped up and this was a delightful change. Subscribed!
your video is well explained but I was not aware of the slop. and most, you demonstrated a drain that is not in line with wall outlet and the p-trap connection.; that is very common. thanks and God Bless
Thanks, you saved me a bunch of grief. The new rough in put the drain line more than 5" offset from the drain, I'm not sure why they did it that way, they had the utility sink for reference. I was trying to find fittings that would reach that far and had not considered using a bend to make an offset.
I have one sink where the last guy apparently aligned it in one step ... with a heat gun. It looks horrible and burned but does not leak. I'll be using your method.
thank you!! chasing yucky p trap smell and i think the weird p trap in my new house is not ideal + clogged. i'm going to try to replace the p trap using your guide. the drain doesn't line up with the sink outlet and i think the plumber set up something weird.
When you cut the abs pipe, and you removed the burrs on the outside with your glove, did you remove the burrs on the inside? Those burrs will clog things up with hair.
A contractor that did my new vanity install "fixed" this problem by adding an s trap directly below the drain and having that go to the old p trap. I'm tired of it clogging so I'll have to give this a try
As others have mentioned, great video tutorial that is straight to the point! This is my first video of your channel that I have viewed, and if the others are like this, then you just gained a new subscriber! Thank you for making quality videos !
@@TheBuildingExpert my drain seems more complicated than this and did not come with a towel piece so I’m having a hard time finding the extensions to fit the modification
Great video. So I have the same offset issue where a 45 is needed but with PVC. So could I do this by building out from the sanitary T as follows: 1) sanitary tee, 2) stubout, 3) street 45, 4) marvel connector, 5) PVC ptrap kit, 6) sink drain tail? Thanks!
Just something for people to keep in mind you're only allowed a 135ﾟ Worth of fittings on the trap arm before it hits the stack. And never use a 90ﾟ fitting unless it's long sweep. You can also use a street 45 in a regular 45 to make a 90ﾟ fitting that's a little smoother.
@@jgz6989 Depends how long ago it was glued. If it's pretty fresh you can twist em out with a pipe wrench or by hand. Also if you're careful you can pick the fitting. For a ptrap I would probably just re pipe it. Not exactly sure what the situation you're referring to is?
@@creativesuit1930 I'm not a plumber, it just struck me the way he was glueing every piece. None of pieces under my sink are glued...for me it's more convenient to maintain.
This is exactly my problem. I'm so inexperienced I didn't know 45bends are available. Back to town again tomorrow. Oh right, can I borrow your reciprocating saw? And extra batteries. And a 6-pack of Speights, ta. 12pack I mean.
Then your a piece of crap... ..... we all need to know the basics in life . Cause if you don't ...you are worth less .......even with a the money in the world.. why always pay for some one to do a job.....if I can do it my self..
Great video man But I really need your help I wanna ask some questions If you could respond before this day is over with Today is August 28th please sir
hi, i have simialr situation do u think 45 would do , or have to go with 20 etc, i am bit confused that we have 45 20, 60 etc. apprecaite if you can advise me when to use 20 or 60 .. i am clear on 45 and 90 by the way
Almost invariably I use push-fit fittings, much easier to align, adjustable, & if I make a mistake, easy to rectify. The reason most builders (not most plumbers) use glued fittings, is that they are cheaper.
How would you put a garbage disposal to these sinks?? I really like them but I havent seen one yet with a garbage disposal or seen a video to add a garbage disposal to these sinks. Most house in the U.S have garbage disposal in the kitchen sinks. Please could you explain how to add a garbage disposal to these waterfall sinks!! Thanks
If I want to drain a shop sink directly outside do I need a drain trap or can I just attach 45 to the bottom of the sink, two inch hole in wall and drain ?
I wouldn't recommend draining a sink outside, if you're allowed to do so, I would still install a P-Trap. It will block the passage to the sink inside from any kind of smell or insects. Thanks
Even quicker, but the $9.99 flex P-trap rubber pipe. 2 clamps and cut to height or length. Installs in less than 2 minutes once you got the old parts out.
Vet good tutorial, I appreciate the video, if you do not do this all the time you forget things and cut corners by using flex ( I hate Flex) so Thank you Very much.
What is the square plug on the wall? Can that be removed if you need to use that instead of the drain above? If so, how do you remove it, and can you swap the plug between the two?
Pretty good video bro but the fittings of 22.5 just saying so people ask for a 45 and they receive a 45 the angle's going to be 22° more then they have to go back to the store lol
I thought people were moving away from abs ? Also I have to make new p trap design for my sink which was built in the 90s. how do i tell tis abs or pvc. the writting on the side verse not? or plastic apperance?
The pipe coming from my wall is level with my wall.what piece do I buy to extend it out .the wall pipe is medal .Can pvc pipe be the extender if so how does the pvc extender attach to the metal pipe? I am.in desperate need to get mine done.Ive tried everything and nothing works.

@@neli.a The p tap has a threaded connection. You can always unthread the p trap and tail piece than take the p trap out to clean.

What determines whether you would use ABS or PVC, is it the drain pipe? Also, are there benefits of one vs. the other?
I have to preassemble and paint marker the pipes. The order that you glue I guess makes a difference.
This would take me about two weeks to complete and five different trips to Home Depot.
Thank you! this was helpful
Thanks guy .. solved my issue.

Why are you gluing everything together instead of using plumbers tape? Surely glue makes it impossible to disassemble later if you need to?
