Sounds like the title of some plumber rap song. 😂😂😂
Lol! Is the world ready to hear me rap about p traps? It would be funny for sure!
@@ThatFixItGuy please do….it would make top 100 on the rap billboards 😂😂
Lol! I will start working on something. Don’t know about the top 100, but I may get a few laughs!
This is very informative that I watched the whole video. Seeing some good feedback about those snappy/flexible cheaper traps made it tempting, but a pro's advise is gold. This cleared everything. Thank you.
Very informative and easy to follow. Thank you 😊
Thanks for the tips Brian! I hope that my P traps holds out for a long time!
I have no doubt that they will. If not you know a good plumber!😉
Thanks!
Thanks 😎
Bought an older house last year. First time the bathroom sink drain clogs I go in with a small, flexible snake to try and fish out the clog. The snake went straight through the bottom of the 22ga brass p-trap, which was basically paper thin throughout at that point. Will not be replacing it with 22ga brass.
I learn so much from you!
Awesome Gerry! So happy about this! Have a great weekend!
Great informative video brother. I didn’t know there were so many options
Oh yeah Steve. There are quite a few options. Thank you and hope your enjoying your weekend!
Thanks for the great information Brian, reminds me of a Clint Eastwood movie The Good, The Bad. And The Ulgy 😂
Lol! I did not think of that, but I love it. Thanks Britt!
wow, you are very good..
What do you know about an inverted p-trap? Where you combine 4 - 22.5° pieces so that the down spout is above the exit? The straight shot down is actually slanted.
Hi there can you tell me what should I do if my 1 3/4" P trap has to go directly straight down in the floor not through the back wall. I'm using plastic screw together 1 3/4" plastic pipe again. Thank you David!!!!
Hi there , I'm currently building my own food trailer and in Washington state we are required to have a p trap in the 3 compartment sink and 1 on the hand sink with a vent pipe . Plumbing is definitely not my strong suite, could use some help....
I never had a problem with leaks at connections in the old days with metal P-traps. They did corrode through. PVC always leak at the connections. I'll look for your megaloc vid. Thanks.
At the connections I use silicon...
17 gauge is my everyday go to unless the customer asked for cheap pvc is the 2nd choice
Right on. You are doing quality work then! Thanks for sharing!
But the Snappy Trap has a happy and catchy name !!! ;-) ........... Have a awesome weekend everybody !
Lol! It totally does and is sold in both Home Depot and Lowe’s. Hope you have a great weekend as well Richard!
I had a trap I just could not get to line up on a remodel. I put one of them white flexible ones in I knew it was junk but I was selling the house. It was noted on the home inspection report that it should be replaced but I didn't have to do it.
They are used a lot durning remodel. They are real easy and sometimes using one is going to be way easier than hours worth of work. Not that hard to clean a trap out if it gets clogged. Thank you for your comments. Cool that you did not have to replace them. I have changed several out for that reason.
Funny that that would be a deal breaker when selling a home!!😂
Maybe dumb but the only way mine doesn't leak is if the short part is on the sink. If i put short on drainage it leaks
Great video. Not sure how you managed to make drain traps an interesting topic… you also helped me realize my plumber is a dumbass. Thanks for the great video 😅
Installers should remember city codes, meaning, if you are a home owner you can use plastic (thin or thick). But, in Canada, the city bylaw for apartments is metal only. Landlords probably will go with the cheapest metal. However, acid cleaners, will make holes faster. Tonight, I cleaned out the bathroom cheap p trap. Put it together and there was a small drip. I removed the plastic compressor and the pipe edges with rough with one larger tear. My son was in a hurry and wrapped it with white ribbon before replacing the compressor ring. That particular pipe that the p trap fits onto is a welded pipe. Call the plumber. Quality lasts longer. As a precaution I placed a large container with paper towel inside....a problem maybe just around the corner. Thanks for sharing. Also, if this is a first time, take a picture of the old pipes as you remove them. Was there plumber's tape? Is the thick ring up or down? And, remember to have metal cleaning brushes to remove calcium etc.
Work for hardware store.see some crazy stuff.hear how people do there plumbing.
Hi I live in Tijuana Mexico most places apt and hotel don't have that p trap because previous renters will always steal them when they leave to resell them , what can I do or use to stop those fumes when their is no p trap
People steal plastic why
S stands for Sucks because it sucks the water out letting gas in !!
I totally agree!
Also, if you decide on plastic, do it yourself or plumber ask him about the repairs. I went to an apartment. It had a new plastic p trap, nice and thick, great, but he glued the whole unit on...like what the????
Like "you say Potatoes" I say "Potaytos".
Why is the s trap illegal
Almost every time you touched one of those clean out traps on a hard-line p-trap it gets destroyed because most of them haven't been moved or touched in over 20 years and the seals are completely dried out and it just doesn't work. Not a big fan of those.
You don't have any Schedule 40 PVC traps in this video. This is one of the most commonly used types and is what any plumber I've ever seen uses.
I know! They don’t use pvc in any residential around here. That is the only reason I did not put it in the video. I know sch 40 pvc is used all over outside of our area.
The house I'm working on nobody's been in there since probably the early 60s. There is no p-trap under the kitchen sink but in a sub area about 6 feet away there's this weird-looking contraption that has a post sticking out the top of it looks like a wrench pipe wrench looks like an anvil through three quarter inch impact gun. can be attached to it and then Twisted for some reason, it's way before my time so I had no idea what I'm looking at it's all in one and a half inch copper soldered in for the drain pipe?? WTF if the thieves ever found out they would strip this house immediately. And it's all filled with shit. I cut the pipe to ft below the kitchen in the basement and it was packed there all the way up and then continuing down towards that funky thing I'm talking about that I'm sure is the problem
If the S trap is illegal why does Lowe’s sell it?
legal to code here in Jacksonville Florida
