Great video - I would add that unless the full bottom of the tub is sitting flush on the floor, it would need to be installed seated in a bed of mortar. This method would pretty much guarantee no cracking. Unfortunately, I cut corners installing my acrylic tub and it started cracking a lot after a few years

Jeff, love your videos. I've started to gut my bathroom and your video have been very helpful! I got to the drain/over flow line, and found the metal pipe had rusted away. The previous tub would flood underneath as the drain line did not connect to the drain hole. Now it is just a hole in the concrete floor. Not sure exactly what to do from here

Im a plumber from texas. I like seeing how different parts of the country do their work ... this comment is the start of this video First edit... he is talking about a second floor application 2nd edit... i think just going abs all the way without that funky brass and copper with glue joints would be better 3rd edit... ya i only like compression joints in cabinets that you can access 4th edit... i set all my tubs with a mortar bed to "make it soild"
@chrisgraham2904
@chrisgraham2904 3 жыл бұрын
If your from Texas, Jeff isn't operating from a different part of the country...he's in Ottawa, Canada. Yes...this is an installation over joists which could be a second floor or a first floor over a basement or crawlspace. Canadian building code doesn't require an access panel or shut-off valves for a tub and shower installation, but it's always recommended if they can be provided. The mortar bed provides stability, especially preventing any flex from acrylic tubs and it aids to eliminate that hollow sound when showering.

Great video, just like all of them. But I have a question. I am wanting to instal a shower/bath combo tub, as in the video. But on my non-drain end, instead of it being in an alcove wall, I am wanting that wall to be a tiled Bench area that someone could sit on. I am building this in a tight space bathroom and do not really want to have the 2x4 border on the length of the tub and tile that up, etc. I am hoping that I can put in a tub, wall on the drain side, wall on the inside, then bench on the far side. I can't seem to find anything on youtube that has done this. I am wondering, do I go drop in tub? Or stick with alcove tub and have a lip that is "1 tile" high and attached to the 2x4 bench, then to the wall? Thoughts?

Your videos have been very helpful Jeff, Thank you. I'm doing an acrylic tub this week. I have the OS&B kit but wondering if you use the joint compound on those? Or just trust in the compression fitting, brass nut and rubber seal. Also, how do we tighten the ABS connector for the down pipe once the tub is in place? Or do you get it pretty close and then trust gravity to keep the water flowing down, until a plug up I guess. Thanks, Zam

should all the plumbing be tightened in place before placing the tub?

I love your videos! Great work! Hey, any particular tub brands/models you would recommend for folks in the USA? I'm looking at acrylic tubs now and in addition to the choice paradox, I'm seeing lots of variable reviews even for $800 Kohler tubs. Thanks.

Looks like the studs were planed down to accommodate the tub. Did you find the alcove like that, or did y’all do it?

Any reason you are using brass instead of PVC? Would you still use brass drain kit if you had not come across flex situation (like relocating plumbing)?

Thanks again for the videos! I'm installing an american standard acrylic tub. The installation directions say to use roofing nails where the flange meets the studs, but it doesn't go through the tub itself. I've seen comments on other forums about this approach leading to creaking and I also prefer the more solid seeming connection of screwing through to the stud. Is it ok to use the method you show with screws instead of the roofing nail method in the instructions? Thanks!

the creaking comes from the acrylic tub movement when full vs empty. those nails will loosen and then the acrylic rubs against them causing the noise. That is why we use screws.

Hi Jeff, I saw you use silicone to seal the drain head. Is this a normal practice? I saw many others use plumber putty to prevent leaking. Now, I want to replace the drain head, but I broke the cross support inside the drain. I am wondering if my drain head was sealed by using silicone, will I break the AB pipe when using the drain remover? Is there anything I should pay attention when replacing the drain head? Thanks.

Thank you. This was helpful. My best friend wants to install a tub so I'm trying to see the best techniques. He's going to have to build the alcove- the tub he wants requires a mortar bed though-- do you have any videos showing how to do a mortar bed for an alcove tub? Also, do you have any experience installing a direct drain (where the P-trap is under the tub drain instead of the overflow)? I need to correct a DIY mistake from previous owners who cut all the way through a floor joist for the P-trap under the overflow of an above-the-floor drain tub. My plan is to have the overflow sweep over to the drain instead of vice versa, increase to 2" P-trap for better drainage, and create a vent (as it currently does not have a vent-- although later on the plumber tried to add in circuit vents but it is still a mess).

I recall you mention a Canadian bath tub company you recommend. What is the brand again and what material is the bath tub made of ?

Do you recommend putting window/door spray foam under the tub for support? My tub at my house feels flimsy, the floor flexes a little in some spots.

not on a mirolin tub with a reinforced plywood base with fiberglass pray and post legs I don't. If you have a tub that needs help use sand mix.
