Richard Trethewey shows Kevin O’Connor how he and plumbing contractor Kevin Bilo are fighting to keep the P-trap from the new bathtub on the second floor of the Lexington house from interfering with the decorative ceiling of the new kitchen. They use a new German bath waste and overflow kit that allows for the flexibility needed to solve the problem.

How to Install a Plumbing Overflow Kit | This Old House
/ thisoldhouse
I didn't know those kinds of tub fittings existed. So glad I came across this video. This could be a life saver in the future because omg what a freaking nightmare of a plumbing scenario.
Kevin is such a good "everyman" host
Seriously unlike bob
Took him a while to get that way, though. Cool watching him mature over the years.
Dealing with plumbing interference issues like these can be very draining.
Ohh pipe down!
🥁
I feel like venting; this topic is a trap.
Thinking about the details can be a real WASTE of time and OVERFLOW your mind- it’s a real mental TRAP
This project is a real pipe dream.
The plumber who has to repair that down the road hates you lol
Love it. Plumbing and electrical how to's are my favorite videos
Dude! Talk about complex plumbing! Nothing like seeing a master at work, nicely done Richard!
wow That is a beautiful solution Rich
Rich always amazes me!
“I hope he says thank you!”
“I doubt he will”
😂😂😂
A perfect example of why you let the plumbing/electrical trades do their work first before you start building in "pretty" things.
Its an old house upgrade 😐
wow- if we all only had such a clean tall crawl space or basement !
Always, A+, clear, and concise content! Thank you
Amazing work Richard!
I hope nobody has to service that nightmare 10 years down the road.
"I hope he says thank you" - yeah, but now get ready for this on every remodel 🤣 "oh come on, you will find a way..."
Wow Tommy is one hell of a man to know all the ends and out of doing that work.
Cool part. Love the channel
Had a similar problem. Found a tub that has a raised bottom called AFR (above floor rough-in) that have me the room to jog waste without raising tub or notching floor.
the technology of pluming has come a long way from the 70's&80's
Are there many places in the country where contractors are this talented/accommodating? I can not imagine this job being done in South Florida
Wow. All that work
Another great video guy's!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Richard. The "fixer" and sexy to boot.
Richard is the god of plumbing and hvac!!!
Wow!!!!
Brilliant.
I am a licensed plumber and i am sure there was many days of scratching heads and swearing at the design team that thought of this ceiling detail. That detail cost them hundreds of extra dollars maybe even thousands. I hate designers. And yes how do you fix that if it breaks ? Richard is a good plumber
"Here's a cutaway"
"full city water pressure"
You know Richud’ too well!
Someone gets to drink from the Firehose!
$4,000 dollars later...$2 dollar trap is in....
Nice job fellas..
@@Kevin-mp5of plumbers have been doing it that way for decades now....don’t c what’s wrong with it..
Hope you can get a snake that. I think you can, but that brass setup would be a problem. Don't just think about water draining, think about clearing a clog.
American standard has a tub that is raised and has space to run pipes underneath, that's all they need to use here.
And if the homeowner doesn't want to use that kind of tub... ?
@@morlamweb Why you askimg me that.
I’ve installed them. Still too low for a normal drain. Where the tee directs it straight down, you’d need to be over 6” high.
My first thought (as a carpenter) was build a platform for the tub to raise it a few inches.
Great job, but now how do you plan to finish the floor?
The exact same way they would finish any floor.
Ha ha, hansgrohe has this kit for at least 12 years, when I did my bathroom
where is the link to this kit???
Always a challenge draining tubes
Hope that never leaks which it will some time due to plumbers putty drying out and cracking. Also if any other part of that leaks that will be a pain in the butt for the next plumber to fix
Hopefully the actuator is magnetically coupled so there is no seal to fail.
Yup. Hope that ceiling was worth it…
Impermanence of all things... C'est la vie.
But dang, what a great ceiling! Totally worth it….
We always put pans in any wet areas in high-end builds so it doesn't matter if it starts leaking it's not going to hurt anything
I can’t help but wonder how that recessed joist bay will perform under the weight of that cast iron tub filled with water.
- 280-400 lbs - Cast iron tub
- 267 lbs - water 32gal x 8.33
- 220 lbs - one adult male (more if married and frisky)
- Potenial of 887+ lbs in 12.5 sq feet = 71lbs per square foot (assuming the miss’s doesn’t join him).
- Building code requires live load of 40lbs per square foot - the math for that reduced bay just doesn’t compute for me -
I guess Just trust TOH … they’ve been doing this a long time.
That “triple” was very close to center of the tub. Will carry it fine.
I think its a smaller tub, so i doubt it's much more then 200 lbs.
How did you deal. With raising the bath floor
That is the tile guy's problem :)
"next hundred years" didn't know they still build houses to last that long any more
Think about it. The roof, plumbing, electric were not there 100 years ago. windows most likely upgraded, lead paint etc
A house is much like an automobile.
The better you take care of it; the longer it lasts.
these buildings won't last 30, houses today's are not built to last Do a lot of hvac work on new construction and they are not well built
If that was me installing that tub the inspection would say no way thats not code you can't do that. Only on ask this old house can do
Everything is down to the studs; why not design something that is serviceable?
Raising the ceiling was short-sighted and the worst example of form over function. Getting that couple of inches of ceiling space means that they had to go with a completely proprietary system that will make it next to impossible for the next plumber 5 years later to fix leaks or even clean out the drain because of the extreme angle of the drain and now they took away access from the overflow. Anybody who has every snaked a bathtub knows that you take out the overflow and put the snake through there because it's usually straight down to the trap but not in this case.
Kudos to the plumber for finding a solution but this will definitely come back and bite the homeowner in the butt later when they have to cut the fancy ceiling just to get a hairball out or fix a leak.
Are you claiming a snake won't make it past the one 90 on the overflow but it will make it through a p-trap? Come on now.
@Darryl F Did you watch the video? In a traditional tub and plumbing you can open up the overflow on top of the tub and stick the snake straight down where it will flex and go through the P trap and after that, as far as your imagination and skill will take it. It's so easy that you barely need to twist the snake. In this case, the overflow is next to useless. Whether you go through the overflow or the drain itself, you have to go through not one, but 2 90's before going down to the P trap. If you think that's easy in a cramped bathroom with a fancy bathtub that you can't scratch then you must be the best plumber I've met.
@@Arieeeee there's one 90 there. Not 2. When you snake a lav drain there's a 50/50 chance you need to get the snake past the waste arm 90 after the trap. The ty heading down is a 90. How can you say a snake won't make it past 1 90 on that overflow. And you weren't counting the normal overflow 90 in a regular situation because you said it's straight down to the trap, which is not.
@@Arieeeee If you think that's hard to snake in any bathroom without scratching the tub you need a lot more practice because it's a very common task in plumbing.
I'm surprised someone hasn't yet invented a wi-fi version of the tub drain plug release.
Question: i have 8 year old house thats always blowing light bulbs, no matter what i use. What is going on wit my light bulbs?
It most likely not your bulbs. Get you a good electrician out there pronto.
This could be a symptom of a dangerous condition, manifesting itself as overvoltage. I would look for a loose neutral if dispatched to figure it out.
You guys feel like coming down to San Diego CA?
👍👍
honest question, why is the house all wood? I understand if the house is small but the size of this house is big enough for cement to be used for the beams and even walls and cement is better than wood, right?? considering USA always get hit by tornadoes and sht that ends up wrecking the whole house?
Do I realy have to send you a standard trap from Germany over to the US? Wow ... You don't even have the simplest solutions over there ...
Until theres a problem and you cant access it
I always used silicone on the underside, where the fitting contacted the tub. Then the putty is pretty much useless other than keeping water from leaking around the drain cup.
They may have left access behind the tub or in the bedroom next to the tub.
$ overcomes any problem. ;)
You dropped the cast iron tub right on top of the actuating cable. Sigh.
0:57 The big hard pipe is in.
Let's hope it was installed correctly and never needs to be worked on. This is a service plumbers nightmare.
I have a septic tank and when I go outside it smells. I think the smell is coming from the roof vents. Any way I can stop that smell?
Pump your tank one last time and get an outhouse. 🤷♂️

“So if the big hard pipe is in we’re all set no problem” That’s what she said. Michael Scott
They just weakened the the floor bye cutting it out. Better to have done better design planning from the start and all that extra time and money would have been wasted. Come on let’s be real that house will be remodeled in 15 - 20 years and will be done the right way with without having to weaken any of the structure.
12 dislikes, What ?
That branch isn’t even done to code. What an embarrassment
A little much for new construction?🤣😅🍺🍺🍺🥃🥃🍇🏌
Stay safe.

Wear your safety glasses.
Most builders would just take a drill to whatever was in the way. The quality of new housing in this country is awful , there are some excellent builders and remodelers but there's too many inept DIYer's and crooked contractors that are just terrible.
Looking from UE (east EU) perspective this celling will transfer all the noises from the floor above. Steps, farts, music, even running water down the drain - literally everything. How we do that here: all the walls out of sort of bricks. We pour a thick reinforced concrete slab for the 2nd floor, then 5cm EPS (here you can put all the pipes, cables etc), thin 7cm "bubble" type of weak concreate as a main underfloor and then moisture keep away foil, shock-absorbing and soundproofing layer (5-7mm) and than laminate floor or just real wood glued to this last concrete layer. You cant hear any steps, farts, music actually (between flors). Floor will never, erver sink, bend, squeak. Some noise might be transfered via the structure wall, just that. So a good home should give us some privacy right? Your frame 2x4 style builds do not provide any privacy to me. On many remodel situations there is even no rock wool between the drywalls, just air cavity. LOL!
As i watch the show being broadcast 07-03-2021 at 8:45 am CDT, i have to ask: why on a show about quality and most modern products, do they still do substandard concrete work? I have been in construction since 1980 and even back then the better concrete contractors would tell you wire mesh was not good. Rebar is far superior. And no matter what you use, do not lay it on bottom and pour. You need supports to keep it centered in the slab or you may as well not use it. Laying the steel on bottom and pulling it up with a rake does almost no good. As you walk around during the pour it gets pushed right back to the bottom.
What's happened to this channel? They are always like years behind anymore! This is nothing new.
