DOUBLE VANITY Do It YOURSELF Install | Single to Double Vanity | How to Install a Bathroom Vanity

In this video I go over all of the steps that I took to go from a dull single vanity to our new double vanity. The best part about this install is that we didn't have to cut the wall or floor to add the plumbing for another sink! This video will show you how to modify a new vanity so that your main plumbing can stay in tack while still providing a professional looking install.

That was excellent! You simplified it and that's what so will have my handyman do.

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

Awesome! Glad it helped you out!

[@RenDen]

Thanks for capturing this. We are looking to do the same. I read every comment and just want to add that every piece of content is helpful. I learned a good deal.

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I'm actually in the process of remodeling that entire bathroom and I will be trying to film much more in depth. Hopefully there will be more info to help with anything else!

[@verdellfulton9553]

Nicely done. Just the information I needed to get started.

I thought this shmishmorshion of a video was incredibly helpful actually 😂. Thank you for sharing what you did! Really helped us with our project!

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

Hey I'll take that! It's hard to film and work and talk by myself so I'm glad that it helped you!

[@tabithaphillips9984]

I was just making fun of that other comment, I thought this video was great. Our sink and plumbing is now installed and working! Thanks again 😊

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

Awesome!!

Excellent video

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

Thanks hope it helped!

Electric box needs to be 3 feet minimum away from any tub or shower there call zones. If you put the outlet on the other side of the vanity you would be fine. You did a great job. I think now they want the ventless system above water line now in case you have a back up in the system. I used the one that looks like a air vent so the studor valve can hide in there and I think its easier because if you ever need to change the vent its super easy. I install the studor vent high above the sink in the wall more near the ceiling. The vent box is paintable so you know.

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

Thanks for the tips! I did place the studor as high as I could but I couldn't get clear video of it. It's almost touching the bottom of the vanity top.

[@JorgeCastro-sh2vt]

The tube installation was very fast, was not step by step. But I has been learning. Thanks

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

Hope it helped!

[@robertspencer4004]

Nice music track😎

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

Thanks!

[@bomarin9806]

this is good information but your situation is probably very different from most. Most people have plumbing behind the wall not the way you have yours. you have several options.

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

You can do the same exact thing with it in the wall. The benefit it that there is probably also a vent in a wall so you can just hook up the p traps and go

[@hunterokey015]

Thank you for your video! We are doing this to our bathroom now. Any issues with the plumbing? We had a contractor come out saying we would need to open up the floor and the wall to change the plumbing to a from a single to a double, but are looking into doing what you did ourselves. Any tips?

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

I'm glad it helped! The only advice I really have is if you are going to offset the main drain to 1 side of the double vanity, I would just connect both drains together and use 1 p trap like you would with a double kitchen sink. Good luck!

[@dylan-nguyen]

@@BakersDIYLifestyle one thing to note is the sinks can not be more than 30” from each other to share a P trap That looks like a 60” vanity? might be right on the cusp of 30” on center

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

That's awesome info. Thanks for sharing that!

[@Aroundtheworld1019]

This is so DIY… and wrong. You need a second vent pipe which this person not do. Your contractor is partially right… that you should open the wall up to add the second vent pie. This video is not to code/recommended.

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

It's definitely DIY but it's not wrong. The system has 3 vents. 1 for the toilet, 1 for the shower, and 1 for the sinks. This setup is no different than how it would vent in the wall.

[@mrsrola7602]

That vanity is gorgeous. Can you please share a link to the item?

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

We got that one from lowes. I'm not sure if they still have it now or not

[@purecuIt]

Its called Dolton 60" vanity from Lowe's. I bought it because it was the cheapest one they had that looked nice. Its not very well made however, my top is epoxied down wrong. I think they didn't mix the epoxy so it never set up and remains a sticky mess. Also some of the supports that hold the top to the cabinet were broken when I got it.

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

That's why I got it too haha Although our build quality seems to be alright. I wish the top was separate though because that joker was a beast to move through the house!

[@user-pe7cc1zl6o]

11:18 I needed to see how you teed off the hot & cold water supply

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

I just used a 3/8 cutoff t. You can get them anywhere

[@NathanThePrezPretlow]

Do they make a dual drain 1 1/4 kit for bathroom sinks.I cant find anything online.?

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

I don't think so but you should be able to use a 1.5 in drain with a reduce ring to connect to the 1.25 bathroom drain.

[@wdufour54]

is this to code ?? would it pass inspection. thanks for the effort to snow this

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

I would do your own research to verify but I believe it is. Both sinks have a p trap and a vent that is above the sink basin so in that respect it should.

[@ReliProductions]

Are you using cpvc cement on PVC?

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

You know I originally thought it was cpvc/pvc but I think you're right!

[@coreybarringer8130]

Is there a code on using 1 studor vent for 2 traps? I'm looking to do the same but my sinks are over 3" apart and I can't find anything other than the DFUs that the vent is rated for

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

I'm not positive but I believe if both traps run to the same vent/drain line like mine you're good to go regardless of distance

[@coreybarringer8130]

@@BakersDIYLifestyle I'll find out once we get ours inspected at the end of the month

[@samcl4236]

did you consider doing 1 p trap instead of 2?

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

I did but I wasn't sure if I would have room around the shelves or the main drain line so this was definitely the easiest. If I did it again I might take more time to try that or if the vanity was built differently I would.

[@johnnieyarn3740]

Do a shed to useable room build

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

I suppose I will if I ever get asked to!

[@dougc3794]

Was water pressure affected by the value when running both sinks at the same time?

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

Yes but mainly because we bought cheap Amazon faucets with no restrictions. It also made brushing teeth beside my wife a very fun experience haha

[@dougc3794]

@@BakersDIYLifestyle I am wondering if you would have gotten better pressure using pex T fittings instead of a valve T fitting.

[@mannydecastro6934]

Do each sink has hot and cold? And is the water pressure stronger on one side than the other?

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

Yeah each sink has hot and cold. The lines coming in have a splitter to run to both sinks. The pressure does drop when running both sinks, but you could plumb a complete circuit under the vanity, or in the crawl space that would help maintain pressure on both sides.

[@lwrpj]

What kind of tool was that you used to cut throughout the video

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

If you're talking about the pipe I think it was a sawzall

[@iufan71]

the tool he used mostly was a multi tool....you can get one at Harbor Freight for about $30.

[@kurtbilinski1723]

I thought that each sink needed its own vent... with the vent being at least as high as the highest water level. I don't see any vent at all in this installation.

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

I do have a studor right in the middle of the sinks. I think I missed a good recording of the vent but it's a 4 way pipe with the vent going up

[@hexZ06]

Yup, each sink does need it’s own ventilation.

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

Most vent pipes are ran to a single vent in the wall so why would I need 2?

[@dylan-nguyen]

@@BakersDIYLifestyle you did it right with the sanitary T I double checked the IPC and if you use a sanitary T with a studor valve it is permitted for vanity sinks Would’ve been incorrect if you used a regular T

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

Thanks! I appreciate that!

[@thearreolas]

Where did you get this vanity at

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

Home depot

[@duplexjones3215]

Where was the vanity purchased?

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

It came from lowes. There is a comment that has the exact name if you're needing that too

[@iufan71]

you only put a vanity outlet on one side of the vanity?

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

Yeah mainly because I was to lazy to buy more wire and conduit haha We haven't needed the other outlet yet but if we ever do I'll add it back in.

[@iufan71]

i was thinking for razors....hair dryers...curling irons...water picks

[@bb3283]

He put the outlet on the side which is wrong and against code if it’s near the shower like that. Needs to be on the wall, or on the other side which is why it was there in the first place

[@SpamburgerHamburger]

How long did it take you from start to finish?

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

We had a baby in the middle of the project that threw off the time a little bit but I would say if you had a 3 day weekend you could definitely get it all done

[@JLT3]

Did we skip the water supply

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

It's in there really fast. I put a t adapter on the hot and cold and ran an extended line through the center of the vanity to each side.

[@tylerdartt6162]

I know this is really off-topic for the main video but I sure hope your baby is OK

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

Thanks for that! We ended up finding out he has an extremely rare genetic disorder that's not curable but completely treatable and he's growing and doing great now!

[@bridget2028]

Did you need a permit to do this switch?

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

Technically you need a permit for almost anything but just contact your local code office and ask.

[@wendyponsford7428]

Surely you turn off the house water first?

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

Unless you want to turn your sink into a shower that is a great idea!

[@joseph5080]

Are you in San Antonio by chance 😏

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

No where close!

[@MightySapphire]

Well this was a shmishmorshion of a video. Wow. I will never get that time in my life back.

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@alem2174]

It would have looked better one big mirror cause there no space for two mirrors

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

We thought about that, or putting these mirrors side by side but my wife said she didn't want to be that close to me in the morning! I definitely would have laid the bathroom out differently with that window but it is what it is!

[@vicsanchez4945]

I've seen this video several times. I just don't understand why he is gluing and cutting PVC on top of the vanity. Those sinks cost around 1k. Should be clean when doing those projects. A towel or moving blanket to cover the sink.

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

Yeah maybe could have been more careful with the cutting but I'm not too worried about laying pvc on a stone countertop.

[@golrizharrington1511]

How is your baby doing now?

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

Much better! Thanks for asking!

[@philip695]

Nice video but not for DYI. Also I wouldn’t cut anything on the clients sink top no matter how careful. I learned a lot however, you should have slowed down when doing the hot water cold water split

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

Hey glad it helped you out! I also didn't cut anything on the actual vanity top, only in the cabinet

[@shantor100]

So by yourself you mean with two helpers

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

Yeah something like that!

[@kinnypj]

Lol fail the sink on the right is in front of a window and you couldn't line up the mirror

[@BakersDIYLifestyle]

Well sadly I had no control over that. Having a double vanity was completely worth the off center mirrors
