How to build your Food Truck Water System

The number 1 installation will be your fresh water system. You will not be able to operate without passing a water inspection. The SEAMSTER will show you an option to setting up a very costly project for a fraction of the cost by doing it yourself :)

I appreciate that you explain every detail for those of us that has no experience. That's why I come to your videos, thank you👍💯

[@TheSeamster]

Thanks but there are those that don’t like it. Be safe and u can do it.

[@jeremyproctor3357]

Watch some more so you learn the proper ways to do it and the right/good materials to use

ugh this is EXACTLY what me and my handyman need, thank you sooo much! Tipping you! 💗

[@joebetty69jb]

You did a great job explaining keep doing What you're doing

[@diecastmodelhub]

I know nothing lol your doing a great job! Thank you!

[@buffyjackson9112]

Thank u I’m happy you’re explaining everything in detail

[@TheSeamster]

Some people just don’t like that 😊 thanks glad u liked it.

[@The-Blue-Ghost-Plant-Co.]

Seriously appreciate you so much!🙌 Wish you lived near ATX so I could just hire you to do my little trailer for me 😭

[@TheSeamster]

Thanks and you can do it for sure.

[@jacobmatteson9166]

Really helpful! Thank you!

[@TheSeamster]

It looks complex but it is easy.

[@Eduarditooo]

Very well explained, a lot of stuff though, here in OH you don't need all that but really cool design there

[@TheSeamster]

Thanks and every state is different for sure.

[@vernongreen4877]

Great video. Keep on keeping on brother

[@TheSeamster]

I gotta get ur done!

[@boilersmac13]

Great job on thoroughly explaining everything! My question is that you mention 3 ways to run your plumbing, but don't mention using Pex. Is there a reason you left that one out?

[@TheSeamster]

That is another way and pex would be but more money for all the cuts and adapters, clamps, elbows, Ts etc.

[@THEGREATGUSTAVOJAIMES]

What’s a back flow device? And at what time can I find it in the video?

[@Chef_Money]

Hey seamster big fan. Can you please tell me how you secured the sinks to the drop in counter tops? These sink basins don't come with clips. Did you just use liquid nails?

[@TheSeamster]

I had to use 2 stainless steel screws in opposite side corners and also silicone sealer on top edge. Then used adhesive under the sinks.

[@peterlopez1851]

Great video man I appreciate your thoroughness, I’m currently in the process of building out my beverage trailer and wanted to know if there has to be an admittance valve on the drain?

[@TheSeamster]

No I did not put on but that is a good idea! Thanks

[@Sloba1992]

Any idea how I could do dishes in semi truck ?

[@sylviedubois1747]

Where do you buy the drian air trap??? What is it called, and how to purchase??? Please!!

[@aldoyosbel1728397263]

Which tankless water heater do u recommend me. How many Watts. It's for a small shower

[@TheSeamster]

If shower then go with a 4 gallon Bosch like the one in my video. That be just enough for a very quick shower.

[@MsLori1973]

That's a wicked idea. Save your own water n pump. Great for off grid or on grid. Event's wirh no hook ups. Aka fairs etc not hard to figure out if ppl listen n im aware of some.what how water systems.woek n can hook my own up to a point. .still a bit iffy why soda machine would drain into grey water unless its back flow water. I have ro watch that again. I will.be dling that, and i want the extra filters. Water is diff everywhere ans i have teouble drinking tap water especially. Thank u

[@jeffreynewlamd5236]

Do you have blue prints for the plumbing I just bought a food shack that is a night mare and the appliances was suppose to be propane which that turned out to be gas so I'm in a mess now.

[@TheSeamster]

Ahhhh Man that sucks! No blue print but please start with my first video and scroll through them until you see what you need. To bad couldn’t just convert them to propane easily?

[@HallowedSapphire]

If you have your food truck custom built by a company for your specific needs, will they automatically put in the water system?

[@TheSeamster]

That should be included and the most important part of the build.

[@antoniovargas2210]

Could you add a link as to where you bought the fresh water and gray water tanks? Along with the pump?

[@TheSeamster]

I got them on eBay. Thanks

[@dereksmithabroad]

@@TheSeamsterhave you considered Amazon affiliate links to help monetize your videos? It doesn’t cost your viewers anything and helps you out. You’re doing everyone a great service. You deserve the kickbacks on things people are going to buy anyway.

[@TheSeamster]

@@dereksmithabroad I will look into that. Thanks for the advice

[@innovativethoughts]

Wow you are using a lot of water for your soda machine and coffee ☕. Doesn't look like you will have enough water.

[@TheSeamster]

You are correct. But I always said, if we run out of water then we just made a lot of $$$$ in one day 😊 Most events had running water hook up the tank was always a good standby.

[@innovativethoughts]

I just finished building my food trailer. I built a two food trucks is the past. One in 2004 and 2021.

[@munray6]

I am interested buying your truck

[@TheSeamster]

Sold the day I put up for sale and the guy didn’t want any appliances. Just the water system, fountain soda, freezers. Thanks

[@nickkimber6947]

None of this meets NFS and most health departments would not pass these sinks, faucets, or drains. Make sure you check with your local health department before you do anything!!

[@TheSeamster]

Correct on checking with health department. Your wrong, all sinks must be size capacity for largest utensils also CIP!

[@jeremyproctor3357]

Why do you say none of it meets and that health department won't approve them?

[@nickkimber6947]

@@jeremyproctor3357 As I stated in my previous comments. Our local health department requires NFS equipment! Having a stainless sink in a wood cabinet does not meet NFS requirements. Other than BBQ grills for outdoor use, we are also required to use NFS equipment. This includes refrigerators, freezers, and all cooking appliances. Not sure what you can get by with? I just know that these are the rules and this is how I build my own food trailers!

I can concur this, plus it makes sense

Remember not everyone knows how to do this. It’s for beginners and a step by step process.

[@brogantipping2101]

@@TheSeamster Your giving unnecessary information and there too much and unnecessary piping going on

[@Crumpman]

​​@@TheSeamster I guess people don't understand that they can fast forward through what they deem "unnecessary" information, and also run the water differently for their situation 🤷

[@stephenkatonet]

First off, its not a hot water heater. You show that you dont know what you are talking about when you call it that. Second, that is a super crappy design of a plumbing system. Just put your pump near the tank, in line, and remove all of that unnecessary garbage.

[@TheSeamster]

First off, it must be a cold water machine. Second, the pump is not a primary source it’s a backup to no water service. Remember, this is to give you an idea to learn or improve your food truck. I hope you don’t talk to your family like you do to strangers, because I don’t really think they like you.

[@brogantipping2101]

COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY AMOUNT OF PLUMBING 🤷‍♀️

[@TheSeamster]

SHOW ME HOW TO DO IT AND I WILL COMMENT ON YOURS 😊

@@TheSeamster check profile chum we create espresso trailers daily it's not a restaurant connection but a mobile catering trailer piping should be straightforward easy to maintain and allow for storage 🤷‍♀️

[@TheSeamster]

@@brogantipping2101 You are incorrect! This is a multi water source with an electric pump or hose option. This type water source cannot be built any other way. Show me where I went wrong? Again this is a multi water source. If you want straight forward just use a hose and no tank.

@@brogantipping2101 if you maintain plumbing i cant see why?

[@jeremyproctor3357]

It's funny to start a video by making a big ordeal over people commenting on your video and how you do that because there is a lot of people out there that know absolutely nothing but think they know everything. Well I'm guessing that camera your using has a mirror on it and you was looking in that mirror while saying that. Cause you obviously know nothing about plumbing and building a water system properly and efficiently. First of all why in the world would you WANT to use CPVC? That is the very worst outdated plumbing material there is. Secondly youve pretty much plumbed in circles under that counter making it way more complicated period, but sure complicated for someone that you was talking that doesn't know anything. Guess this method would get someone by in a bind. But if they want a good quality and efficient water system I hope they don't watch this. I truly feel sorry for the folks that buy this truck thing they are buying a new quality built food truck lol

[@TheSeamster]

Build one and let me know when you do. This is a 2 way water system if using tanks or water supplied. You must give yourself an option when in the stfu business. Don’t forget to let me know when watch your build.

[@MsLori1973]

Ive never really used rhis i like pex alot tho. But it can leak.if its not done right. Would u recommend pex in a food truck or do you prefer this type. When i was left to rebuild my entire bath n kitchen due ro abad landlord i lesened fast how to hook up water a rub shower n i also used pex alot for this. i was proud felt great n finally had a shower. I did use copper as wlel ans the ovious pvc pipes n p traps. Taught the guy i dated how to build wall studs hang dry wall and lay tiles n cupboards. Lol what u will do when u have no.hwlp. ytube n my dads past hosue building helped me alone im not too fancy yet in electical but i can so it. I did use shut offs too. The fancy ines lol i had ro have something fancy n pex foesnt have round shut offs. Some pieces were expensive some not so much. Im glad i learned about that air release with the water tank. I don't think my rv has that but it should n it will

[@TheSeamster]

Yes use pex!
