INSTALLING a SINK with a BUILT IN DISHWASHER!!

[@rogerweaver7686]

[@marvinbernard2566]

Yep, some related DIY wisdom learned the hard way: start your plumbing work early and when you have plenty of time to deal with the inevitable unexpected issues. Never work on a holiday or close to closing time for the store. If you can’t shut off plumbing locally to the fixture/room you’re working, make sure everybody has a plan for alternative plumbing and don’t interrupt the laundry.dishes/etc. Basically, plan for the worst and be happy when things go better. There’s nothing worse than the feeling that everybody is waiting on you and you don’t have the solution in time…it only makes the job that much harder.

[@mks15337ster]

Studpack. I literally threw in the towel tonight as I too am installing an IKEA kitchen. I put that bottom drawer in and the metal back support hits my drain stub out by an eighth of an inch. Seeing you come up with a solution was the confidence I needed to cut that thing tomorrow. Thanks Guys

[@p18yurd]

When I renovated a room in our home, I took the opportunity to route the AC coil condensate line through the ceiling and out the roof soffit, and down into rain barrels. I'm a few hundred miles north of the Stud Pack, but still with my local humidity, I get about 10 gallons of grey water every summer day in my rain barrels from my 3 ton AC, which we use to water the flower gardens. It keeps The Mrs super happy -- just FYI. Also, the first time I saw one of those waterfall style faucets I had to have one, so we bought and installed it in the master bathroom. After a couple years it started growing all sorts of weird stuff in the exposed portion of the end of the faucet opening. I couldn't get rid of it fast enough. It was neat at first though.

[@swdavis2306]

Just don't water vegetable gardens with it. Condensate water is toxic.

[@p18yurd]

@@swdavis2306 Oh? I've heard that one other time, but then other people jumped in to 'correct' the person warning me. We feed (and have for years) the vegetables, dogs, trees, flowers, etc. with the water and have noticed no ill effects in general. IIRC, the other person that told me that condensate water was toxic said it has been shown to potentially carry some disease, but then, again, a few other people shot that down as being misunderstood from one single story years ago. I'm all ears, though, and curious: do you have any more details? thanks!

[@J.Howard]

I like the way the light is thrown off the mirror and illuminates the grout around the edge; that cool. 😎 34:11

[@itigg]

A trick I’ve learned over the years for checking leaks on plumbing is place a blue shop paper towel under the connections. I’ve had leaks that were slow to where I didn’t catch them after install initially. The blue paper towel changes to a dark blue when wet. I just lay it under the system and check back after 10 or so minutes to see if there is a slow leak. Can then use towel to wipe the connections and find the leaking one.

[@MikeHarris1984]

@@itigg yup! I always say to leave nothing under the sink for 2 days and use it heavy. And if you wipe a paper towel under the sink multiple times each day it should be bone dry if it's not, then let me know asap. I also recommend using under sink silicon mats. Amazon sells them. They have a lip and hold somewhere around 30 gallons of liquid or something based on the size. But working in houses even 5 years old, kills me to get under there and find the bottom of the cab destroyed. Cleaner bottles, drains, water lines, etc leak. The under sink silicon mats contain the spill or leak and no cabinets destroyed!!! Put a water sensor in it and as soon as it leaks, get an alert. I built my house 5 years ago and have 9 sink cabinets and got ones for each!! Life savor!!! My kitchen sink, I've had multiple cleaners leak and at one point the faucet that the middle pulls out and the back and forth caused a connection to come loose after 2 years. The mat and sensor saved me a weekend of work replacing a cabinet bottom. :D.

[@itigg]

@@MikeHarris1984 yes those mats are great. Only downside is can’t use easily with under sink drawer systems typically because they bottom mount. Suppose I could screw right through it with some silicone around the holes to stop leaks.

Installing the cool sink dishwasher gives me a new appreciation for picking appliances before rough in plumbing and electrical, but even doing that I would expect other install problems will arise. Always enjoy watching you solve these problems.

I had to do the same thing to our drawer under our kitchen sink a couple years ago. Seeing Paul do it makes me feel validated. You guys do a SUPER job.

[@DexBunny]

I believe the dish washer uses cold water as opposed to hot is because, at least here in Europe, most houses don't filter hot water as much as they filter cold water because cold is usually made very safe to drink straight from the tap. Therefore hot water has more 'contaminants'. Where I live we have a lot of clay and dolomite and filtrating all that can get expensive when you're filtering for both hot and cold so we just do cold. All in all, the reason I think this dish washer uses cold is to have the best water possible so the dishes are cleaner and your pipes don't get clogged.

[@rickdiego5]

I really like the way you did the cutout for the trap. I bought my house in 1998 and installed Delta faucets and I used clear silicone rather than plumber's putty when I install the drains. The aerators in the faucets corroded and I couldn't get them out without destroying the faucet so I bought two new Delta faucets in 2023 and installed them. Fantastic faucets and when I removed the drains from the sinks that silicone was perfectly sealed and lasted 25 years and was still good. Plumber's putty dries out and cracks and I know that from sinks I had to fix in rental properties.

I'm from the Old Safety Engineer School...Wear both belt "and" suspenders, so anyone thinking adding extra pipe dope (the proper term evades me right now, but I'm sure someone will correct me) or plumbers putty "just to make sure," along with all the other "extras" a lot may think is unnecessary just for peace of mind. Worth its weight in gold for me. Peace of mind is a very good thing. And when Jordan said wait and unscrewed the support making moving the completed sink easier? As one of my bosses told me over half a century ago...Dammit...Don't work harder, work smarter. And...Y'All did just that. Great job and very informative video. While most of my comments were about the sink, I learned a lot from the vanity and bathroom sink install as well. I definitely appreciate all the tips and insight into how and why you arrive at the decisions you make. Bonus!! Helps me access things before just jumping in and screwing up. As another boss told me, there is nothing so pressing you can't stop and say "just wait a minute" and reassess the situation before charging in (as some would say, like a bull in a china closet) full speed ahead. Please keep the great videos coming!!

Manufacturer most likely recommends the cold water connection due to the fruit and seafood washing feature of the fancy model and they just kept their instructions consistent for both models. You’re a legend for making it to page 12 Paul

[@MikeHarris1984]

That first "P" trap on the dishwasher is not a P trap. It's a sweep to drain better. And it doesn cause an S trap where it can suction them both out is because you have that vent line that goes to the vacuum break and to the garbage disposal where most dishwasher connect to. So it's a neat design.

After foundation settlement (which required adding piers to re-level the slab) I had groundwater seeping upward thru the slab around the PVC toilet drain. I added a nice thick layer of Lexel around the PVC and sealed it off to the concrete slab. It has sealed it up perfectly. Now I believe I have the same upward seepage in a wall of the shower where the water lines come up thru the slab. Didn’t realize that groundwater may have been the source of the water when we had to rebuild the rotted shower studs and entire shower. Termites loved it! Now I need to open the wall to check and will likely have to Lexel around the incoming water lines.

Paul, great job narrating & explaining your tecknics about how you do things. Like the sink dishwasher combo. Waiting to see the finished apartment. Like the bathroom mirror Jordan.

[@AlexPascalute]

Hey Paul. I suggest modifying the condensate pipe connection (min, 17:20) so that the angle is not point upwards(it has a loop). The condensate needs free fall, otherwise it will not drain and it will build up and lick somewhere else. I know because in Europe we have home central heating that burn gasses in in condensate and for it you need it to be able to drain (like gutters but through pipes). Another pointer a plumber give me was that I should permit the drain in such cases to be aired, so there's no vacuum created (I don't know how to explain it better).

[@StudPack]

It's pumped so the direction of the tubing doesn't matter in this case. No air gap is needed because the pump has a check valve.

So much effort and so many parts to install drainpipe and trap. They now sell a kit with a flexible hose you cut to length and kink to form the trap then screw into your drainpipes on either end.

[@brucepayan2845]

I'm confused that they didn't go with a single drawer (eg. 17" tall) dishwasher. Uses up just a tad more under-counter space without the drain line hassle, and you gain back the countertop space for meal prep, etc.... Maybe this one they chose is less than 24" wide.

So nifty way i have found to deburr metal like that drawer. A wire wheel on the drill held parallel to the cut. Not 100% but in the 90s for how often it works. Smooths it out better then a file or even sanding. And generally depending on thickness and hardness even a brass wire wheel will work.

You might want to replace that P-trap (just the bottom part). It looked like when the drawer bottom initially caught on it at 30:55, it tore a chunk out of the bottom of it at 31:01.

[@imkey]

I agree the putty is the way to go for under the drain flange, silicone is not as clean. Silicone grease on top of rubber is better than pipe dope. It helps the rubber conform to any irregularities, fills in small gaps, and repels liquids. Generally silicone grease can be combined with all rubber type interfaces to help seal and provide lubrication.

[@MoneyManHolmes]

My drain instructions said no putty, no pipe dope. It relies exclusively on the bare rubber washer to seal. I guess all brands are different.

Super clean

[@jasperhuiskes8737]

What I usually do when a fitting is just a bit too small for hoses is to wrap some electrical tape around it really tight, that way you can slightly increase the size of it. I also usually do 2 hose clamps per fitting, rotated 180 degrees from each other because sometimes the seal they create has a little flat spot where the screw for the clamp is. This is mostly in higher pressure systems though, so for drainage 1 would suffice I reckon! Greetings from the Netherlands!

21:03 I think they “determined” that it’s skates around the double trap issue by using the other basin(garbage disposal/basket strainer) as a vent/vacuum break. I would be an issue when you dump the sink but would operate pretty well otherwise. Like old “house traps” that had perforated clean out caps for vents.

In my experience, Delta is a little better built than Moen, dollar for dollar, and Moen is sometimes more....striking, visually? Something like that. I think technically that they have identical warranties, as well, but i've read that Moen is much easier to deal with in that regard.

When I was an apprentice I had a pretty much full small can of primer in some new cabinets. I had cardboard under it which ultimately led to my downfall. I got out to get something and my elbow was on the cardboard and pulled it and spilled the can. Another option so you don’t have to carry an extra can is to just use glue. According to the glue manufacturer, primer isn’t needed. We use it because it’s code and does make a better seal for understand, in wall stuff. Both methods are technically illegal but I’ve yet to meet an inspector who failed me for it. In the tailpiece, I never put pipe dope on the washer but it won’t hurt anything. I do however teflon the threads. I’ve head a few that water comes out the overflow and will follow the threads down. It also makes it easier to slide the washer up

I am a DIYer, but I always purge the water lines by attaching an extra supply hose to the angle stop (shut off valve) and putting the other end into a bucket. Only after that purge, will I attach the permanent supply lines ... regardless of whether there is a removable aerator or not. This separate step makes sense because not all connection go to a faucet, for example the supply line to ice maker or the reverse osmosis system.

Saddle clamp/drain clamp for the condensate line. Easy push connect and install wherever is best on drain line. They make them in 1/4” and 3/8” (possibly more or metric?).

Another great vid guys-looking sick! And the idea of a plumbing mock-up/pre-assembly is genius-that alone was worth the price of admission.

[@joshoneill2584]

Love me some stud pack! Can’t wait for the house build. You guys are killing it! Paul you are SUPER!

[@r7boatguy]

I've not seen one of those dishwashers in a home before, they are used in some high end boats. Great idea for smaller spaces.

[@markcollins457]

Great program, at the beginning of this episode i could see the outside of the garage door area and it looks like it could benefit by adding a flat roof awning just above the garage door (a mid century design look). I'm not being critical of the design but for some reason it just looks like it should be there. Again the project looks great and the details you guy's address make it all worth it!

[@dansullivan2954]

Good idea.

[@StudPack]

I had the same idea, it does need something

[@jeffreywolvers3767]

I live in the Netherlands and I have never heard about connecting hot water to a dishwasher. Maybe to a professional dishwasher in a restaurant but never for home installation. Love your videos

[@twolfe4295]

I don't use the pex valves for connecting sink or toilet supplys. I use a male adp. and a screw on valve. Makes it easier to replace later if necessary.

[@michaelluciano8795]

Doing a mock install first was a great idea for the viewers and for you. Beats doing it all on your knees. An extra step, but it seemed like it was worth it.

[@jefff6167]

Great installation. Really appreciate all the details. Thanks for taking the time to create this very informative and interesting video.

[@omaristephens2143]

@27:40 for the disconnect, could y'all use an offset single-gang mud ring cover, and then just drill a hole as the knockout. I'm thinking something like the Topax 52C11 (that's just an example; not an actual recommendation). Then you could get a switch and the wire in the same box.

[@brandonrippeonphoto]

I recommend sealing those bare mdf edges where you cut the hole for the trap.

[@elvisvasquez]

Can't wait for the garage to be finish. Keep out the great work 👍

[@robertjennings5357]

I like the in sink dishwasher! Cool to rinse and drop in the dishwasher. Will definitely miss a double well sink though. Good for bachelor life. Eat clean and walk away.

[@necrotwoshoes]

I like that you only get comments on things you don't say you're going to get comments on.

[@msal]

Saw that sink. Always wanted to try it. Cool.

[@definiteIynotkenji]

gonna wait on that few month review on that sink dishwasher combo cause that'd be perfect for my kitchen

[@nuggetwv5302]

I used a compression to pipe fitting to hook up a condensation line once. I think it's 3/8 compression to 1/2 pipe. Put in the dishwasher hose and clamped onto the threads.

[@michaeltully3461]

For future reference! You don’t have to take the doors off the hinges to remove them. The hinge cups can stay in the doors and you can pop off the hinge from the hinge plate attached to the cabinet interior panel with a little release on the back near the rear of the plate.

[@StudPack]

These cheap hinges don't do that

[@russofamerica]

Man, all of those tiny little problems/obstacles in the first half of the video are sooo intimidating for someone like me with very little DIY experience. Mad respect for your knowledge and skill. One thing that confused me, circa 25:25 - are we looking at the rear of the sink setup, i.e. the face that goes up against the wall? And if so, is it problematic to have tightened those hose clamps with the screws/bolts facing the wall? How will you loosen them if something goes awry? Seems like that could be a challenge, but I guess the bigger desire at present is just to get the frickin' thing installed and move on with your lives! 😁

[@StudPack]

Thanks! I guess it doesn't matter which way they face; no one is ever gonna get back there and loosen them😁

[@russofamerica]

@@StudPack Because they're so EXPERTLY INSTALLED! Got ya!

[@JosephLeonardo-jj5rb]

Another great video nothing is easy when you take pride in your work great job guys

[@cirkutpersonal]

I LOVE Paul the Plumber! My father has been in the woodworking and cabinetry business for over 30 years, but plumbing has always been mostly a self-taught thing. Paul's wisdom and attention to detail are incredible, and the quality that I also strive for. So I've gained an immense amount of experience and skill directly due to your father, Jordan. I am so happy, grateful, and thankful that you share your wisdom with us! Love from Michigan

[@StudPack]

That is awesome!

[@LathanM]

Good job on the sink. This is one of those projects where a 3d printer would have come I'm handy. You could make a cap with a compression fitting to hold the condensate hose. I had to do this for a similar project.

[@brianhopkins5251]

So my plumber mentioned that on kitchen sinks on new const or remodels he'll run 2" or 2.5" from the sink to the mainline and just adapt right at the outlet in the wall. Since kitchen sinks are usually the first ones to plug and that lets anyone get bigger rotorooter type stuff in there to clean it out and not get stuck on corners. (and hopefully never needed). I thought that was pretty genius.
