How does my plumbing look? Professional plumber feed back!

#plumbing I’m building my own house and can’t get much help. I wanted to get some feed back from professional plumbers on here and see what you think! Thanks for watching

[@jc8417]

Crap in it n see what happens

[@justinmackenzie824]

I agree. Only way to know

[@theuppercut]

From a professional plumber.. never call a turdlet a toilet!! 🚽 💩

[@KingBigBabyJesus]

12" centr on them floor joists? Might have to go check out some more of those build videos. Plumbing looks like its gonna keep the poop movin the right direction tho

[@MeltinMetalAnthony]

Actually 8” on center lmao. To support the tub, fire place and shower. The tub is right above the far wall these are 9.5 joists so I was extra careful

[@michaelc9507]

Your plumbing is just like old people fucking not to good😛 Nice work man

[@scottjune3554]

As a plumber plumbing should be plumb that's why it is called plumbing stick to welding 😊

[@basic00001]

shit looks plum from here bud...

[@MeltinMetalAnthony]

Well does it look like it will work well? Should I not have gone diagonal through the walls?

[@scottjune3554]

Oh no it will drain you did really good for not doing it before

[@jeffreyplumber1975]

no it called plumbing be cause plumb is latin for lead plumbers were lead workers .

[@peteratos660]

Over all it looks like it will work well. You over complicate some parts of the system but that’s just not doing it for a living. I would add some support bracing on the horizontal drain lines. I’m Illinois your required to brace the pipe every 4 ft. Also, I would have added a clean out between 12 and 18 inches off the ground on the main drain line. It’s not fun to try to run a rod when your standing 5 ft off the ground on a ladder. I’m general one of the better “homeowner” plumbing jobs I’ve seen in a while.

[@MeltinMetalAnthony]

Thank you! And I tend to over complicate things. I do own a man lift so I’ll cruise over in that puppy if I need to clean it out

[@grumpyguys4082]

"Can't see it from my house"!

[@johndorazio3759]

Looks good take your time make the pipes more plum but it should work fine the country needs more people like you

[@MeltinMetalAnthony]

Thanks bud

[@charliehuntsman9827]

Looks good bro just make sure you have access panels where you need them when you dry wall so you don't fuck yourself. Please ask me how I know 😂

[@osbaldohernandez9174]

How do you know

[@charliehuntsman9827]

@@osbaldohernandez9174 just was remodeling my wife's and I new house we put in a new shower surround did all pex and thought we had everything good to go turned everything on and checked for leaks before drywalling back in and putting the surround up crossed my mind to cut in a quick access obviously didn't and we had a damn leak had to go back in and fix one of the connections obviously then we put a quick access panels in . Obviously it doesn't matter when you do it really just gives you peace of mind when you do it before and the fact you have them there and don't half to f with it . Just my 2 cents.

[@MeltinMetalAnthony]

I’m thinking on just putting a few pieces of plywood in that section and leave the screws exposed garage side

[@mikeznel6048]

Looks great. Takes skill to get it all together in the studs and have it all line up and pitch and seat the joints all the way. You gonna exfil or air test it?

[@flamingskoda]

Looks good. Here in UK you don't have to vent every appliance. I plumbed my own house in 2011. I put plenty of access panels and rodding points in.

[@bricebeaulac]

Yeah it’s the same in the US lmfao

[@MeltinMetalAnthony]

But it should work ? I had to vent the tub and shower separately because what I read was if using 2” and it’s more than 5 ft away from main vent it needs its own

[@flamingskoda]

@@MeltinMetalAnthony I'm not familiar with your codes in USA but it can't hurt to have more vents. You've got a good work ethic.

[@JustinTopp]

1:24 the tee for the vent is upside down. Doesn’t really matter but it wouldn’t pass inspection here. Don’t need a long sweep on the vent either but that doesn’t make any difference. I would’ve also just used a tee for the upstairs sink rather than a wye and the 45. Should be fine though. Overall I think it looks good. I’ve seen worse from actual plumbers hah. I’m not by any means a professional, but I did do a year of residential new construction plumbing before I left to go to welding school. Good stuff Oh yeah, don’t forget the nail plates

[@MeltinMetalAnthony]

Oh ya! Definitely won’t forget those. Seen a TV installation guy run a screw into a vent. People couldn’t figure why it stunk!

[@SawMan247]

Looks good, not over complicated. Are you going to run pex, copper, cast pipe?

[@MeltinMetalAnthony]

Pex for ease. Kinda makes me wonder what with all we are learning about plastics how healthy it is to drink from

[@SawMan247]

@@MeltinMetalAnthony Micro plastic, can get rid of them no matter how hard you try. Much love man keep up the awesomeness. Watching you from Utah

[@DillonMW]

My house only has one vent coming off the main drain and going up, not from each application and tying in. I guess more vents can’t hurt though.

[@say_goodnight7342]

Any code in the u.s will want you to induvidually vent every fixture. There are some examples in the International code book and I'm sure in the uniform code book that you can wet vent a single lav sink off a water closet vent, or quick-vent an old existing island sink, but generally every fixture needs to have it's own vent, correctly sizesd as they connect to other vents through the house. My state, KY actually has it's own code, and we don't have any limitations... Everything has to be vented, no wet vents or common vents or different fixtures, no running vent's flat below 6 inches above the flood level vent, and no crown or quick vents.

[@whatsnextgarage]

Hey Rockstar, Happy fourth! Judging by some of the comments you got a working system! Well done! Keep that pedal down and the great welding info flowing! See ya on the next one!

[@MeltinMetalAnthony]

Thanks Dave ! I’ll do my best! Always look forward to seeing your comments!

[@SolarSeeker45]

Looks good to me. The only important thing to remember with drain lines is 1 inch of drop per foot on the horizontal pipes. If you do any steeper or less steep then you'll be getting repeated clogging.

[@mikev.1034]

Looking good and coming along well 👍👍👍

[@MeltinMetalAnthony]

Thanks 👍

[@clintcowles7563]

Nice work man. Keep it up!

[@MeltinMetalAnthony]

Thanks, will do!

[@logangreenwald]

It’s way over vented, but for what your working with i think it’s the only way without destroying all the trusses.

[@mikeznel6048]

Definitely not over vented. All the fixtures need vents.

[@logangreenwald]

@@mikeznel6048you can vent a whole bathroom with 1 vent. It’s over vented. But it’s the only way to do it with the way it’s plumbed in.

[@bricebeaulac]

@@mikeznel6048beyond over vented

[@MeltinMetalAnthony]

I guess better over than under? the reason each fixture had its own vent is I’m more than 5ft from main vent. So the way I read the code I just added more 🤷‍♂️

It will work

[@MeltinMetalAnthony]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@seanbremer6824]

Any time brother

[@youtubeisfullofspam7068]

I did some drainlines for out house black water . On horizontal runs drop should be 1/8 to 1/4 every 10 foot . Convert that to the length of your runs & make sure it's right . ( Clean ) Water lines don't really matter because they're pressurized
