I'm tackling removing old metal and cast iron plumbing for two sinks and two toilets. Plumbing seems to be putting puzzle pieces together and using gravity to make it all work. Fun stuff. This video was exactly what I needed as a DIYer. Thanks so much!
Great! This was so helpful. While I am familiar with a lot already, you gave that extra detail on how to id the size, differences in elbow, and the markings on the pipe. I will see what else you have bcs you were not patronizing and made it easy to listen and understand.
Great education. I'll be building a house myself for the first time ever on 30 acres I just purchased and having this resource is definitely invaluable. Thank you so much!
Thanks for this video! I have my first day as an apprentice tomorrow working on commercial renovations, won't be dealing with pvc but seeing the fittings and having them explained helps a lot!
very well replicating most people think that is how the water goes away but when it is covered it has to have the correct fittings otherwise they are in trouble
Thank you for taking the time to produce such an informative, helpful, and well-presented educational on DWV & fittings. This really is incredible. You have done a fantastic job. I am disappointed that I am the first commenter on here.
You said not to used the double Y with 2” Y s to lay down. Right now the plumbing in my son house, they used cast iron double Y with 2” Y s , the lay them down coming from the bathtub and kitchen sink and goes to the stack. So what fittings do I use
Great video, Thank You! The only question I have is because you commented on some of the fittings they can only be installed Vertically, not Horizontally. But, you didn't mention which ones could be installed Horizontally. I would appreciate a clarification as to which fittings can be used in which orientation. Thank you!
Very good info. I have a 3" sewage main runs around my basement wall and flow outside. I plan to install a water softener in my basement and connect the softener drain hose to it. Can I use a 3"x3"x2" Y Tee (horizontal) with a 2" P trap, then connect to a 36" standpipe? You mentioned in the video the Y Tee only use in vertical. Thanks.
Good information. All the configurations for the DWV can get really confusing. This is helpful. On a side note: It appears that my local Home Depot no longer sells PVC pipes. My instructor had to purchase ABS pipes. I was told that they are trying to ban plastic pipes. Anyone hear anything similar.
Pvc was getting phased out as far food packing . because it's a "hard to recycle" plastic. But, I haven't heard anything about pipe. we still get a truck load of it every week here in SC. States and Countys have different rules. They may have outlawed it in your area.
Very interesting video calm voice, good tone, organized and informative. Is it possible to install pvc pipe backwards (drainage running away from sewer line). Why would there be orange primer used at ends of fitting. I have issue of washer machine draining into bathtub which no one can fit. The company "Just Plumbing" replaced old piping with pvc. Problem still continue so called a different plumbing company who claim pvc was installed backwards and wrong primer was used. So I went into crawl space and saw job for myself. So now with your video I'll be able to identify what was used but how are you able to tell which way is the flow going. Of course the first company will not honor this issue. So $ is on me.
Can you make holes for a 3 inch toilet waste line in a 2x8 joist? How do you pass this pipe from a second floor to a basement through the 2x4 top plates of wall tops?
Awesome video. I'm sure I will use the wrong terminology. I need a type of PVC schedule 40 reducing coupler. On the three inch side it will receive the 3" pipe (female). On the 2-inch side it needs to be the male because it will go into something that receives 2" PVC. Does this exist? Thank you.
we would call it a 3-inch slip by a 2-inch male. they make it but where can you find it I have no clue. you can get a three-inch coupling, a 3x2 bushing, a 2-inch male and make it.
I bought a 90 vented to replace some pool pipe without knowing what “vented” was. I didn’t see any vents so I used it. It’s still drying. Will it leak when I turn on the pool pump to circulate the water?
I'm in a situation where I have a copper pipe stub out under a bathroom sink and I want to know what transition fitting I can use to go from copper to pvc. The copper coming from the wall has threads on it
would you use a 4 in. PVC DWV Repair Coupling (slip coupling) to connect new plumbing into an existing underground horizontal 4inch pvc drain pipe that has no movement?
Calling a regular 90, a short sweep or 1/4 bend is carried over from cast iron. There’s 3 90s in cast iron. There’s a 1/4 bend which is a regular 90. Then there’s a short sweep which is equivalent to the pvc sweep. They’re sort of the equivalent of two 45s together. Then there’s a long sweep which is an even more gradual bend. I don’t think I ever seen one in real life. I guess the equivalent would be like 4 22s together.
I can't seem to find it. Is there a such a thing as a 4" to 3/4" reducer? I'm wanting to go from a 3/4" pipe to a 4" pipe. It is for a watering contraption I was making for chickens to drink water. I was going to have it come out of the run with 3/4" and I would fill it from outside, so I don't have to go inside.
I'm a new project manager for a major plumbing/repipe company and this is exactly what I needed to know. Thanks for the valuable info!

Holy crap! I'm watching this on that first 3" pipe's birthday! Happy birthday, little tube.
Happy birthday! haha Little tube! Fun thanks.

I will see what else you have bcs you were not patronizing and made it easy to listen and understand.
Thank you... I try to keep it simple and I'm not trying to sell you any thing..
This guy is really good.
I got impressed by his vast knowledge.

Nice over view of all the different fitting types. Good discussion on how a Sanitary T can only be used on a Vertical drop. Thanks.
Thanks for this video! I have my first day as an apprentice tomorrow working on commercial renovations, won't be dealing with pvc but seeing the fittings and having them explained helps a lot!

Thanks to this video I finally understand these 😅 just reading the NCCER and UPC wasn't helpful for my brain
Great educational plumbing videos for newbies like me....

I love this video, good one man, this is the best video I've seen so far. I've learned a lot in less than a hour. You can be my main teacher man.
Working at Lowes. Good training video.

Excellent video and well presented!
Awesome video. Would be great to add UA-cam's *video chapters* feature, allowing us to jump to specific parts of your video.

One thing I was looking for is what do you use to connect two mains together both horizontal I’m coming in at a 45.
Nice, informative video!
Very helpful. Thank you for the video.
great presentation, thanks
great video . Thanks
When stubbing out for a sink 1-1/2" pipe use a long sweep or 90 elbow to connect p- trap?
Hi, in a ROW the city says 4" PVC to the SS Main. At my house I have 3" ABS for the lateral SD. What now lol? Great vid by the way.
Thanks so much!
Thank you for the video
Can you make holes for a 3 inch toilet waste line in a 2x8 joist? How do you pass this pipe from a second floor to a basement through the 2x4 top plates of wall tops?
A 3 inch pipe will go in a 2x4 wall (you got to be dead on the money) but, not the hub on the fitting.
Awesome video. I'm sure I will use the wrong terminology. I need a type of PVC schedule 40 reducing coupler. On the three inch side it will receive the 3" pipe (female). On the 2-inch side it needs to be the male because it will go into something that receives 2" PVC. Does this exist? Thank you.

SharkBite would be the easiest or a female pvc fitting of the right size.
what kind of connections would you use when connecting another pipe into your main line that you can not move like a sewer pipe going into the tank
we call them ferncos or a on hub band. they're rubber and flexible.
Are you allowed to use a sanitary reducing (4x4x3) tee in the main stack to connect a wall-hung toilet?
I don't see why not..
Very informative
thank u so much,it’s good for beginner
would you use a 4 in. PVC DWV Repair Coupling (slip coupling) to connect new plumbing into an existing underground horizontal 4inch pvc drain pipe that has no movement?
thanks helped alot!
Can we use sanitary tee under toilet drain?
No .. But , but some Inspectors will let you do it , If it for a clean out.
Very good video, thank you.
great job , thanks
Thank you great production
very informative
Thanx !
Does a 1.5" STRAIGHT Street fitting exist? ie) It has only one hub but it extends out STRAIGHT (no 45 degree or 90 degree bend, etc) THANKS!
I don't think so. I have never seen one
Thanks, lots of value
Good show . Thank you. Al.
Verygood.
Good video

Eu sou Brasileiro e quero aprender poque trabalho com ajudante de plumber e muinto dificil essas conequeçies em English
You really know your pipe, but you should have been a hand model :)
I can't seem to find it. Is there a such a thing as a 4" to 3/4" reducer? I'm wanting to go from a 3/4" pipe to a 4" pipe. It is for a watering contraption I was making for chickens to drink water. I was going to have it come out of the run with 3/4" and I would fill it from outside, so I don't have to go inside.
that is a big jump but it can be done with bushings
Good. I love you t
Nice \m/
