Thanks bro

[@paulywalnuts9045]

You can tell he’s an experienced Plumber by the way he put the Escutcheons on backwards first before putting them on correctly. Solid Work!

[@motblc362]

Why did he do that?

[@INuisanceI]

I think it helps open up the hole on the escutcheon a little and then when u put it on the other way it won't scratch the pipe and they slip on a little easier. my guess

[@paulywalnuts9045]

Right On!

[@edwardmcdermott9948]

You do good work my dad was a plumber in Cleveland Ohio area in fact I come from a whole family of plumbers and your work.is very good and clean!

It’s never too late to learn, I knew a 30 year veteran that told several customers it’s normal for a GD to come loose every now and then. He didn’t know you were supposed to lock them.

[@user-to9lk8ix6h]

Just an FYI, I’ve had experience with those Brasscraft stops’ handles breaking off. The shaft that connects the handle to the ball would rust and they’d leak with no way to shut them off except at a main. I’d suggest Dahl angle stops if available, they’re much better quality.

[@71dembonesTV]

i like the Dahl stops too. also like to see a thread adapter on the supply lines to make changing the stops out easier in the future

[@aggressivelyamicable5987]

Agreed, not a plumber but I recently changed out all the faucets and toilets at one of my rentals, and half the cheap Brasscraft stop handles had broken off so I replaced all of them with Dahl. Feels much better and looks nice too, I assume it will hold up well because you'll need a lot of force to break off those handles.

[@hydronyc]

Will definitely looking into the dahl

[@2012Jcup]

I disagree the Dahl's won't turn after about 2 years unless exercised now and then which most home owners will never think to do. Jus my opinion though. I like the brass crafts

[@tpc4707]

Nice job. Quality workmanship.

[@aptpupil]

Nice job. Surprised they don't make you do air gap... They do in SF and i prefer the high loop method. Speaking of which... You gotta make that loop higher on the dishwasher hose.

[@andyfrancke3557]

Watching this video hurt. The guys who did my kitchen cabinets came from the same school of "fuck it - nobody will ever see this but the inspector - MAYBE!" approach to fine woodworking. The underside of my sink looked like a safe-drilling burglar crew had been trying to get through a vault door to expose the various plumbing hookups buried behind it in a big hurry and then gave up with the drill and went ham with an angle grinder. Hydro, man, the vertical video is killing me but keep up the great long format stuff - loving it!!

[@DyslexicAnaboko]

Been dying to ask you: why do you use metal pipes for everything? I ask because I have seen PVC used so often, when I see metal pipes now it's just bizarre to me. Is this a NYC requirement too like the lead shower pans?

[@kenc.9067]

Enjoy your videos, especially the narration and real talk. The carpenter who installed the kitchen cabinet apparently never heard of a hole saw.

[@ramonishere]

Nice cross connection broski. If the drain backs up, it can back up into the dishwasher.

[@CC-hv5hk]

Well, serve them right for putting shit down the drain they are not supposed to.

[@shieldcracker]

Isnt it strange how new NYC requires a one piece cast trap solidly conected but allows flex hoses for the faucet supplies instead of copper tubes.

[@jblyon2]

Copper supplies were always required in the commercial buildings we had offices in (5 different ones in Manhattan). Wonder if that was just a landlord requirement, or does commercial require copper but not residential?

[@rtggaming6254]

It’s based on the preference of the builder I still use chrome copper supply lines for the faucets on some commercial buildings if they have it required if not flex hose all day lol

[@user-tl7zj5ev4q]

I've been a plumber for 40 years , like the fact you have to use iron on the drainage keeps the trade much more professional

[@charlescoates5761]

👍👍

[@traceeburris511]

Alright broski. I too, " am a plumber".

[@javiervazquez9472]

Broskie!!! I thonk you guys in New York use the UPC. You need to plumb the dishwasher discharge into an airgap.

[@daddy1571]

Not in my state you don't. You just have to drill hole for the dishwasher drain as high as possible in the cabinet. California requires the air gap thing on top of the sink that looks like $hit 😂

[@javiervazquez9472]

@daddy1571 really does. Would love the clean asthetics of it, but the code makes sense. The thing is, water is always at the same level. So if you have a backup in the kitchen sink, when water rises, it'll rise to the highest point before spilling over. Oftentimes, that's the countertop. If water reaches that high, water will flow through the corrugated discharge hose and into the dishwasher. I dont think you want sewer water on freshly sanitized dishes. If we go by the IPCs code where they still allow you to do the high loop, water will still reach the very top and go into the unit. Now given, more modern dishwashers have check valves in the discharge that prevent water from returning, but i wouldn't trust just that. The air gap is essentially more piping goes above the counter top and ensures that even in a worse case scenario, there is no cross contamination.

[@daddy1571]

@@javiervazquez9472 Interesting. My state of Oregon just went to the UPC codebook so maybe it is a code requirement here now. I'm curious so I'll ask my inspector on Monday. Switching from the Oregon Specialty Code to the UPC has been crazy lol.

[@hydronyc]

I put a loop. Thats all we are required to do here

[@Jacob-gd9ps]

Good shit broskie!

[@Whipped_Creamy]

The only reason i think that code for the P trap is brass instead of plastic is maybe its a bit stronger when people throw pots and pans under the sink but its really only as strong as the threaded slip connections. The un-rustability of plastic seems like the best choice though for something that holds water 100% the time

[@hbp_]

Another one would be if it's exposed to UV. I had a plastic trap on the balcony sink and one day it just gave up and shattered to pieces 😂

[@bryankinney1106]

Hey Bro! I know your not the electrician but is it code in Manhattan for 2 receipts under the counter?? Anyway, I used to Locksmith out of Staten Island and would have to come to Manhattan. The world does not know regardless of how hard a job is, finding parking without getting ticketed or vandalized or having to park&walk 10 blocks with your tools and parts, really is. You should do some video shorts on that!! Thanks for all the memories and great work you do!!

[@e-curb]

That's a good idea for a future video. In my city, parking for tradies is always difficult, so the city has a policy that they never ticket an obvious tradesman's vehicle as long as it's in a legal parking space.

[@moffettRL2727]

Beautiful work broski, my only objection is that brand of 1/4 turn stops only tend to last about ten years before the handles rot through. (Also the stems have a tendency to want to blow out once the handle breaks)

[@edwardmcdermott9948]

Dad always said the real quality is in the details like removing the creator to flush the lines !!!

[@sleektoneofficial]

Honestly plastic piping aint all its cracked up to be. Seen many of pvc joints fail because the glue falls out, ive seen pvc crack and break from becoming brittle from light damage. Abs sees any light it decides wether it wants to pitch or trap itself like indecisive prick. Im beginning to think cast iron and copper drains is the way to go simply because i see it last longer.

Also I put 3/32 black ABS plastic under the kitchen sink cabinet on the bottom and 4” on the back and sides and seal the seams with clear Dap caulking. This protects the cabinet from leaks and spills in the future.

[@Ryan-dj5ku]

I like that idea. Would you tell me more about the abs? Why do you use abs instead of PVC (PVC is more common where I'm from (at least for fittings)? You buy the sheets at home Depot or is there a better place? I saw some on home Depot that was textured? Do you put a lip on the front or just leave flat? I've always wanted a pan underneath but couldn't figure out an economical method to make a custom one.
