How To Install A Bathroom Sink - ALL PLUMBING CONNECTIONS! Drain, Faucet, P-Trap, and Vanity

[@tomrowe5826]

I try to remember to remove the faucet aerator prior to first time use. If there is sediment in the system, it will flush out...

[@therealguru5126]

Your videos are always so good but this is the only one I see a miss on. I personally think the pex stub outs are the lazy, unprofessional way to go. I run pex, pex A, to a pro pex drop ear. Then I can install any chrome stub out and place my pipe cover over them and they actually fit snug, not like was shown here. Just looks more professional.

[@jameslund221]

Not going to comment to criticism it looks like, lol 😂

[@jasinc19]

The video does say for beginners...

[@therealguru5126]

@@jasinc19it is not any harder to do it the right way. You can do it this way with any pex. Plus he normally teaches the right way, not like this.

[@jasinc19]

​@@therealguru5126what is the right way? Pex to copper stub? I'll be doing this soon. Or like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6GYpmxrfMpkrMUsi=hqJKxWwsaVYnyJoe

[@therealguru5126]

@@jasinc19 yes that is a great video showing it done correctly. Not harder and looks professional. I plumb like this and my plumbing always looks better then what I see. It does cost a little more in material but since I do it all myself I still like to think that I am saving money.

At 11:35 the red is for the right side and the red is for the left side lol is there a third side for the blue 😂

If you ever have to replace the sink pop-up drain, good luck with the silicone. I always use plumbers putty.

[@ryanrents126]

And I've had several issues with plumbers putty so I use silicone lol

You somewhere around PA, maybe MD? I recognize that accent. Great video! I'm remodeling our bathroom and came to the realization that I will need to re-plumb everything coming up from the basement -- all copper for supply and PVC for the drain. Have been looking for good videos throughout the day and this was by far the best. Very informative; you named all the components, explained everything clearly and at a steady pace. I really appreciate it!

[@T_Jonesy]

Great video. As a DIYer who is always intimidated by plumbing, this was really straight forward and understandable. Thank you for making the install so clear and uncomplicated.

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

Thank you! That’s the great thing with shark bite fittings, any DIYer can do the installation. I think it’s important to make the videos very understandable. Stay tuned for more!

[@T_Jonesy]

@@TheExcellentLaborer At some point, I'd love to see you install an Ikea Rannilen p trap on a sink. The Swedes have cleverly placed their p-trap parallel to the wall so you gain loads of extra space under the sink that allows for full use of sink drawers where you don't have to notch out the middle of the drawer for the p trap to fit. I've always called in a plumber for these jobs, but I'll bet you could explain how to do the install very easily.

[@jameslund221]

Oh yeah, I always have trouble installing all new equipment in all new builds, so challenging. lol 😂

[@vicf6509]

I believe they sell chrome sleeves to cover the Pex. It makes for a cleaner look.

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

Yes they do. In the video coming out soon, I use that for the toilet supply waterline. Stay tuned!

[@newanryland5656]

So with slip joints, you're not required to use primer and cement? I thought you always have to use primer, cement, or teflon tape at every joint in order to be up to code? Someone help me understand the exceptions.

[@jackhodges1030]

Slip joints have a rubber washer that goes down with the nut on top and seals it, if you use any type of permanent securement like glue it would not slip hence the name. On your trap you can put Teflon tape on the threads and again a rubber washer and nut seals it, slip joint there's no place to put it only the washer seals it.

[@fuzzzy17]

Great video, better than most videos with clear instructions!

[@jaimedpcaus1]

What are the pipe (ptrap) sizes for this sink?

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

1 1/4” . I hope that helps!

[@jaimedpcaus1]

@TheExcellentLaborer Yes, it does very much. Have a great day.

[@elyzeceus5791]

Great job

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

Thanks a lot!

[@doatoolate.1250]

I heard shark bites, bites.....

[@lisaperry491]

Hi all! I have a question and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. We are converting our master bath from a tub to a shower. We want walls that go to the ceiling. I'm only finding 70 inches except for a select few, and they're white. Any ideas where else we could look? TIA!

[@tammyellis8384]

I live in a very old home in Indiana. Under the bathroom sink the top pipe that's connected to the sink isn't connected to the second pipe . There's a gap . I asked the plumber if it was normal and he said it's fine . It also has two curved pipe connectors and the last one connects to the floor of the cabinet. Should I buy another kit and completely connect them? I've never done it but I'm sure I can.

[@Dave-ld3dr]

Just a question I want to use the Pex B but from other videos I saw that you should go with 3/4” if your going to use Pex B for a true flow.I seen that with expansion you can use 1/2” because the fittings will be the true diameter.Is this true or not necessary?I seen that 1/2” Pex B fittings are not a true diameter at the connections.

[@susanyasinsky930]

Thank you for making this video. This was so easy for me.

[@miloestoril2658]

You didn't explain how to connect the the pop up valve

[@tyleradkins2069]

Can you install the bathroom toilet

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

Yup I was getting that video together today. Should be out in a couple weeks. Stay tuned!

[@waakobuchochristopherbalya325]

I love ur video but help me coz i am new plumber

[@deadcarnahans1932]

I've never seen a drain valve like that. Wish you would have explained how it works. It looks to be an improvement over the older type.

[@tarynthewriter3583]

I have a couple of pop up drains from Pfister. They're SUPER easy to install. The instructions specifically say NOT to use silicone or any lubricant as well so not sure what brand he has.

[@mikeweis5925]

You said you put the supply lines at different levels but I did not understand why. Would you please elaborate? Thank you.

[@mikeweis5925]

@Navy1977 makes sense. I missed it. Thanks.

[@turoasj]

Nice work, the detailed explanation is clear and to the point. Question though, why didn't you use Teflon tape?

[@jameslund221]

Again he won’t answer criticism 😢or what he feels is criticism 😢

[@jugheadjones5458]

Good video. I'm starting a bathroom remodel. Good to be reminded how to do the water lines. Do you ever use teflon tape on the threads?

[@NSilver832]

You don't need Teflon tape on the threads since those hoses seal with a rubber washer included in the fittings. I have seen some people like using Teflon tape on those fittings but honestly I don't know why, some say because it makes it easier to thread those fittings and other because that gives them some peace of mind but at the end of the day the threads on the fittings are there just to attach and tighten the hoses since the seal is made with the rubber washer.

[@jaimedpcaus1]

Nice

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

Thanks Jamie!
