I watch a lot of videos from Australia and i feel as though the Aussies have so much more better things for homes and cars compared to the U.S

[@mq5150]

Awesome tutorial Bill. This is exactly what I needed for an upcoming project to resolve some drainage issues down the side of my house.

Mate this house is going to have crazy workmanship from you, lucky house haha

Great demonstration, Bill. Fixing to install a similar drain very soon!

Bill you should go on tour, pick 5 contestants who are doing some projects and visit their houses/ homes give them a few pointers and what not and boost their confidence, I am sure some viewers might have a similar project going on and could find some ideas and learn something.

[@billshowto]

Definitely on the cards 👍👍👍

[@nicole2672]

I learn so much from watching your videos. Thanks for sharing, Bill 🙂. The end result looks great - so clean. I also like the pattern on the cement. Great job!

[@kennysvlogs24]

Best explanation video evr bro 👏

[@ericcai1221]

great video. bill. I just did one similar DIY job like you did. The supplier did ask for a foam to attach to the side of the channel, so you can open the cover easier.

Nice, we needed more details on the sizes of the holes

[@TheRealMrCods]

Hope your house is going well Bill 👍

[@billshowto]

Slowly getting there, but the bulk is almost done 👍👍

[@amandapstarr]

Thanks for the video. This has helped me a lot as I am planning a similar project. I am looking for a little bit of clarification around connecting to the downpipe. If it is a wet system, won't cutting a hole firstly release water in the pipe, and secondly, result in upwelling at the grated drain? Or am I getting fluid mechanics totally wrong? Thanks in advance.

[@celynjones4958]

Would be helpful to see how they are set into concrete. Maybe next time Bill? Cheers :-)

[@billshowto]

Set into the concrete is the easy part. Put a little bit of concrete underneath the channel and concrete around it. Maybe next time👍👍👍

[@stuckster]

Don't forget some adhesive foam along the top edges so you can remove the grate after the concrete has set! Pretty important step.

[@BOT_0x76DE45AB]

Manufacturer recommends expansion foam joint on each side of the drain channel.

[@holycow3355]

A question : there are water/sewerage pvc tubes alongside the house & buried (any idea how deep ?), if concreted & a pvc pipe broken, need to break the concrete ? (concreted mine just thinking ahead just in case).

[@Bilal_El-Hassan]

Yeah Billy

[@elizabeth2416]

Are you in Melbourne or Sydney? You should run workshops, so we could drive you crazy with a million questions. Thanks for your channel, I've just found it and binged watched a lot of it yesterday. You make it look so easy, but I am grateful for the step by step guide, I reckon I can hang my drapes now. I'm not interested in sending rainwater away from my property (I'm a gardener) but I would be interested in french drains or swales for a suburban backyard. If that's up your alley?

[@billshowto]

I’m based In Sydney and I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. Funnily enough I have something very similar coming soon 👍👍

[@williamlove4599]

Can you please do one on how to install on existing concrete pls?

[@sal7501]

👌🏽

[@jaysiebenmorgen4249]

What kind of glue are you using for the coupling?

[@garyliu5632]

I am learning how to open it from 10:32

[@jasonpusz1566]

Great video mate. Can you cut with a saw that is not on the rib at 1400 like you did? Just randomly in the middle of the ribs?

[@billshowto]

Needs to be on the rib if you want to add a joint to it. If there’s no joint you can glue and seal the end cap on 👍

[@herbertvonsauerkrautunterh2513]

I'm using the additional pit that goes on the end

[@roblewis6498]

Another grate video.. Sorry could not resist. Do you have any videos on how to install drainage around a inground pool

[@billshowto]

Lol, I did the drainage around the pool but unfortunately did not record any of it

[@roblewis6498]

@@billshowto Which drainage channel would you use? Are there any ither options you would recommend. I am on the Gold Coast.....

[@sw86241996]

Hi Bill, quick question, do we need to use primer first, then pvc cement? Also, I saw an old plumber who loves to insert pvc first to see the position before applying glue. Is that correct ?

[@billshowto]

Primer should be used on joints. Depending on the where and what the pipe is being used for you can get away with no primer. As for inserting pipe work first that’s a personal choice once again depending on what your doing. This section didn’t need to be exactly in a particular spot 👍

[@sw86241996]

[@hhhydra2397]

Can the top be removed to take our rubbish

Sure can👍

I’ve done a few cutting and measuring a few times 🤦🏻

You forgot to put primer on the pvc pipe.

[@SubjectXXX]

I was a bit disappointed because you only show half of the work. How channel is put into concrete is also a important part of "How to install drainage grate" process..

[@billshowto]

Sit the drain channel on a bed of concrete and pour the rest around it 👍

[@Toddbaldwin00]

Fk it no primer or chairs

[@billshowto]

No need for chairs if you lift the steel up into concrete as you pour, personal preference. As for the primer, it should be used on all joints however depending on where and what the pipe is being used for you can get away with no primer 👍
