Not necessarily code violations but just a few sloppy things. First, this is an underground. Not a "Rough". They should of built boxes to go around the trap for the shower, to help protect when concrete is poured. Risers should of been used and came high enough to cap. Not use plastic or cellophane. I would of used a sawzall with a diamond blade, instead of the grinder. Also would of been bedding the pipe with fresh fill as we went, which brings me to the next thing---If you are good at running DWV you should not have to "dry fit". You should measure, cut, prime and glue. Done! I also did not see an air test. Either way, neither of these two would ever cut it working for me.

you never want to use flexible couplings under the concrete but rather a solid metal banded coupling with a rubber behind it, its called a mission band, over time flexible rubber couplings can flex to much, if shifting occurs in the ground that could potentially obstruct the flexible coupling they used in this video, what they used is a fernco, I suggest a mission band.

@Dawt_Calm5 жыл бұрын
@@LumenChaser Short answer They may have noticed the seal was broken and just didn't include any info on it in the video to keep the complexity down. Long answer If they didn't notice it, that will definitely leak. It's not a pressurized line so it'll be a slow leak. What happens will depend on the ground. If it's dry ground it may leach away for many years or maybe it'll never be an issue, but that's a slim chance at best. If the ground is saturated with moisture any sewerage will seep under the slab and accumulate, anaerobic bacteria will build up and create a biomat, which will further trap moisture. That slab floor will always seem damp, but more importantly it will always smell dank because of the trace amounts of gas seeping through the slab. The trace gas probably won't be enough to hurt anyone but the smell will be noticeable. The first thing the homeowner will do is use sprays to kill the smells, then use cleaner/bleach on the floors, but the smell will persist. A moderately skilled plumber will most likely recognize the smell and be able to diagnose the issue. But if the homeowner brings in a general repair the first thing they'll likely suggest is to seal the slab, which won't work. A waste of money. If they get very unlucky a foundation repair will suggest a new foundation drainage system. Which is expensive and has a possibility of working because that will take away a lot of the moisture. Anaerobic bacteria flourish in wet conditions, less moisture the less bacteria. But the smell will likely persist. If they didn't fix that seal before they finished the remodel, they'll have to remove all the fixtures, take up the flooring, dig up the slab in that area, fix the seal and then put it all back. If they did replace the seal at that stage in the video, since the slab is already gone, a plumber would chisel carefully around the pipe for an hour or so to reveal it. Put on a new coupler and seal. Maybe $70-100 extra cost on the remodel price. Which is worth it. They never should have shown people that you can guess whether the seal is intact or not. Just replace it, the added cost is insignificant compared to the total cost of the remodel and a new seal will last for decades.

You're the pro & I really don't know as I am just a handyman' But having done some jobs plumbing the inspectors alway's told me that any buried pipe connections such as your showing could not be hooked up w/a regular rubber boot as it had to be an emissions coupling. The truth be known, inspectors lie when they inspect a handyman's work & they resent a man making an honest living giving the home owners a fair price w/out taking him to the cleaners. It cut's in on the licensed plumbers license to steal. I know from experience plumbing is a dirty job, But I do believe it's just as dirty to rip people off!. I was installing schedule 40 in a basement that had 3" stacks to it & I installed 3" schedule 40. The inspector told me it had to be 4" pipe & I had to tear it out & waste it as it been already glued. I complied W/ 4" pipe when he came back & then said it had to be 3". I argued & told him he's already cost me hundreds of dollars of work & material when I had it already correct the first time. He just said well today it's back to 3" He did not like it that I was non-union & that I was a good man to have on hand, Dave the handyman. I don't rip people off & I believe what goes around comes around. His stupidity is in judgment day coming! May God bless his people.

First off, Plumbers are a licensed trade - not handymen. In Mass it takes 5 years of school before you can even sit for the Journeyman's test. You could not pull a plumbing permit in my state let alone perform work and stand for an inspection without being a licensed plumber. Plumbing work should always be left to the professionals since they are responsible for protecting the water supply in homes/neighborhoods/communities as well as Waste and Gas (propane and NG). We have codes that we must follow, we have continuing education (6 hours a year) to stay current with our craft. What does a handyman have to do, read another Plumbing for Idiots Book? Union or non Union does not matter, being a licensed tradesman is what really matters in the end. So stick with squeaky doors and stuck window panes. Leave the skilled trade work to the licensed guy. If you like Plumbing so much - go be an apprentice and work your way up like everyone else has in the trade! -GtheP.

@billcorbet97466 жыл бұрын
Been in the trades 16 years. Have had a master plumber, master electrical, and master hvac license for 11 of those years. I am now a building inspector. First thing I see is working clearances to the breaker box when walls are built, you are not going to have three foot in front of it. Looks like about 32 inches if you go by seems in the blocks, and that's not counting that the front of the breaker box is four inches from the wall surface to start with. Second thing, depending on code they are on, they may or may not have done the venting correctly. As a plumber I would have vented the toilet separately, however depending on the code for that jurisdiction they may be within code, however codes are minimum standards, nothing saying you can't do more, and all we are really talking about is a few more dollars in fittings, not much in the overall cost of adding a bathroom. Third that is going to be a finished area, I would have depending on circumstances outside, dug down outside and made it to where I had PVC to outside of the home, as well as installed cleanouts on the outside of the home, again not required to do that per code, however why mess up a perfect finished area when cast iron fails, and it will fail. I might also would consider a check valve in the event of a sewer backup you don't flood the area, however check valves do fail, and that can be a problem too.

12.5" is all you need.... Thanks for deciding the wall covering for me by refusing to add enough room to possibly tile my walls... Did a bathroom reno and thankfully had the forethought to measure the closet flange placement, 12.5 wouldn't even fit cheap white builders tiles with adhesive let alone the 5/8" honed 18" square travertine I used. I moved mine to 13.25 and after the substrate, large format grout and tile there was less than 1/8" to spare after the 12" offset toilet was installed. Especially in the case of a basement install under concrete, give yourself an extra .25 to .5" clearance, you can tile in the future if desired and if your toilet tank needs to rest on the wall a small shim or spacer will never be noticed if installed properly.

the old lead cast iron joint isn't more leakproof, you can see at 3:44 the joint is moving and opening a gap, so the joint should be cracked. bad job, after pouring the concrete its necrassary to stem off the new solid concrete again to seal up the joint.

Eh... I'm a plumber of 10 years in Canada. This install is alright. My only grievance is the fact the shower is dumping over the lav, and I think they used too many fittings. The lav should be upstream of the shower so the shower can vent when it turns through the 45. I'd prob have put a 6*3 fernco on the hub of the CI. The hub will last way longer than the leaded joint. From there I would of put a 3" Y, the branch picks up the toilet. Bush down to 2", then a 2" Y, the branch picks up the shower, then two 45's to pick up the lav. I think this orientation saves a couple fittings. If the inspector demands a 3" cleanout I would probably put a 3" Y upstream of the toilet Y and have it 45 up into whatever wall near the toilet with an access panel in the drywall.

@@timothybarney7257 It's actually 150V to ground and less, that is the cutoff for working space to always be 3 feet in depth, regardless of surface condition behind the worker. So this would apply for a residential 120/240V system, a 120/208V three-phase wye system, and a 120/208V single phase partial wye system for an apartment dwelling uint. Over 150V to ground, requires greater working space, depending on the surface condition behind you. So this would apply to high leg delta systems that have a B-phase that is 208V to ground on 120/240V three phase, commercial 277/480V applications, and 347/600V industrial applications. An insulated condition behind you, like a plastic fence, wood, drywall, or vegetation, would still require 3 feet. A conductive or conditionally conductive condition, would require 3'-6", such as concrete block walls, chain link fences, or the backs/sides of other equipment. A common aisle situation between to pieces of equipment would require 4 feet.
