Kitchen Sink Drainage - Step by Step

[@carolf4413]

Thank you! This explanation and visual was exactly what I needed! Especially the detail about where the dishwasher hookup piece goes. 😁

[@canada_calling]

Watched two of your videos so far. On the money!!!! - Can't thank you enough.

[@jonathanklopf7581]

I don't know if this guy is licensed but he did it correctly, great job and video.

[@Walt.2013]

I've watched a couple of your double kitchen sink drain videos and appreciate your ability to teach. Always nice to see work done neatly and professionally. Inspirational!!

[@yolandahebert2350]

Yeah, this demo was amazing! Straight forward , to the point., and easy to follow. Best that I have seen yet. It's not rocket science. Thank you very much!

[@Ratlins9]

Thanks for making this video, very helpful. Unlike other videos, you explained the plumbing parts you were using .

[@PROSDIY]

You're very welcome! Thanks Ken!

[@victorlin8098]

Thank you so much for your sharing :-) , your step-by-step instruction is really helpful

[@ScottSellsSoCal]

Having drains with this pipe, is the absolute best way! You can hear the difference.

[@johngale466]

Great job. I wish they all went that smooth.

[@lj4434]

For the p trap does it need the clean out knob at the bottom of the p trap just curious yours doesn’t have it.

[@Doctor-u6f]

Great video! Just wondering if there is a minimum height requirement between the horizontal pipe between the sinks and the drain pipe going into the wall after the p trap? I just did a double sink drain and the horizontal between the sinks is barely higher than the horizontal going into the wall. I couldn’t raise the horizontal pipe between the sinks because they are deep sink basins

[@spmcco]

Awesome video. The crap that was cut out looks like like something that was installed in military housing.

[@jeffostroff]

I thought the plumbing codes require that TY to have a baffle in it, am I wrong? Also why is the kitchen being remodeled and no garbage disposal being installed? I have only seen one property here in S. FL that did not have a garbage disposal.

[@PROSDIY]

Hi jeffostroff, I'm not sure what you mean by a baffle in the TY? Maybe we are using different terms? Garburators aren't as common in some cities in Canada because there are individual household bins that the cities pick up for compost. For example Calgary and Toronto have these programs. The reason there wasn't a garburator installed in this video is because it's a rural location on a septic system. Thanks for the questions! All the Best!

[@ndsam8528]

Great job , clear enough . If the pipe runing out of the wall 4 feet , any slop required by code ?

[@jeffperra]

Looks good. Wondering why your p-trap doesn't have it's own little clean out on the bottom so you don't have to disassemble the fitting closest to the wall.

[@jaimemendoza5163]

Great video!

[@ewcamaewcama]

Do you have a video when converting a double sink to single sink?

[@phanthanhhoang]

thank you! could you share the link to the entire kitchen sink drainage?

[@luisvilleza2687]

Nice video thanks for sharing

[@TatayOpaw]

nice content! thank you!

[@pbean5697]

great video. great learning diy

[@akshaypatil2785]

Nice video... Thanks you

[@tommerrill7618]

Watched Three. and all good.

[@scott.c9587]

I heard about doing this to keep me pipes from sliding off. I like it

[@carrieloren3403]

I got a clogged kitchen sink pipe similar to this. I removed the pipes and remove/clean out the clog but after putting the pipe back, the water won’t drain at all. What did I do wrong or what is it that I forgot to do? Need help!

[@Marcoosianism]

It always disturbed me to see drain outlets installed so high. Really tests the limits of how short you have to make the sink drain outlets! Is there a reason why the drain outlet couldn't have been made lower in the original construction? I've seen so many installs where the main drain outlet is higher than the entrance level to the p-trap. Does this configuration not work at all or just doesn't work well? Excellent work, btw.

[@PROSDIY]

I agree 100%. The rough-in drain is way too high in this install. I usually rough mine in at 16" from floor, but I always check to see what style of sink is being installed. Some sinks have extra deep basins and would have to be roughed-in lower.

[@michaelt1349]

Nice! I gave a thumbs up and subscribed! Can you use a Pex tubing cutter to accurately cut new ABS pipe in this video? Thanks!

[@stagesimple8973]

Hey don’t know if your still seeing comments but I have my first kitchen sink repipe job Friday … do you ever use trap adapter 90s instead of needing to glue that extra piece of abs between the regular 90 and trap adapter ? Wondering if there’s any flaws with using the trap adapter 90s 🧐

[@Bella7bella]

Thanks

[@RES_Plumbing-Drain]

good video, keep it up

[@PROSDIY]

Thanks Demitri B.!

[@serenitymanor3191]

Hello what is the heavy black piece that looks like a tiny black tire that’s hanging, what’s the purpose of it¿

[@sarasabala6277]

I have this under the sink but water comes up on the other side from washing dishes. How do i avoid that? So annoying

[@user-vs1bh7dd8h]

Great video! If you were in my area, I would hire you to re-do our plumbing works. :)

[@marleecampbell8203]

I’m just returning back to residential wood frame plumbing after high rise and commercial plumbing. Haven’t trapped a double sink in a couple of years and wanted to know what hacksaw you used at the beginning? Looks like a Lennox but wanted to be sure. Thanks!

[@LuxzonTharmarajah]

Hey, great informative video. Had a question regarding cleanouts. How would you incorporate a cleanout to this drainage setup?

[@qwertygerfin]

Buy a p trap with a clean out.

[@scottshaddock2987]

I am wondering what the vertical drop from the strainer to the centerline of the drain is. Mine is 4 1/2 inches-11.5cm and I am wondering if that is enough for this install-looks like yours is tight also-thank you

[@Tallstan]

I’m doing a sink in a newly framed wall, is there a code height from the floor for the outlet into the wall?

[@PROSDIY]

They're a few factors that determine this. Height of countertop, depth of sink, garburator or no garburator. Most standard kitchen sinks are roughed in at 16" - 20" from the floor to center of drain. There's no code for height of the drain outlet in the cabinet. Too high is a big problem though because it may not have enough slope to drain. Thanks for the question.

[@jacksplumbingvideos7147]

That fitting @ 0:28 is a two way elbow fitting.

[@PROSDIY]

Interesting. I've never come across or had to use this type of fitting. Especially in 1 1/2". Thanks for the info my friend! Cheers!

[@thehandsoftime1]

Can you provide a parts list?

[@acidfuzzpedals9986]

Thanks for the video. Very helpful. I am wondering why you don't use male end trap adaptors? This saves the step of cutting small sections of 1-1/2" pipe to fit the lower sections. Is there a reason for this, or is it just your personal preference?

[@johnwendell537]

Great info! How do you know if a vent is needed? There is an ABS vent stack on the outside of my house, can I assume its connected to the kitchen sink drainage? Washington state, 1940s home with updated plumbing

[@PROSDIY]

Hi John, How does the drain rough-in enter the cabinet? Through the bottom or the back? If it's coming from the back of the cabinet, I would assume it's connected within the wall. Another way to tell is to check in the attic if a vent pipe is coming up above the sink area. It is common for the kitchen vent to enter into the attic and then run horizontal and tie into the main vent stack, or it can pop out of the roof as an individual vent as well. By checking in the attic you can confirm that it is the kitchen sink vent that you are seeing exiting the roof. Hope this helps. Good luck and let me know if you have anymore questions. Thanks!

[@johnwendell537]

@@PROSDIY drain is through cabinet bottom and the vent stack comes from the corner of the house exiting to the outside and running up external corner. The sink is 6 feet away from this corner. I went ahead and plumbed without air admitter and it seems to drain very well. Thanks for responding , well done video!

[@PROSDIY]

@@johnwendell537 Thanks! Nice job on your project. Take care!

[@karenschmidt105]

Why is there no clean out on the P-trap?

[@PROSDIY]

Just a personal preference. I've seen way too many leak from that style of p-trap.

[@wagnergitirana]

Great job! You sound Canadian. Is it a norm in cold regions to use ABS piping for drainage? Or anything else? I was looking for a good tutorial for my kitchen plumbing project. Cheers from Houston, Texas.

[@PROSDIY]

Thanks Wagner! It is more common to see ABS in residential homes here. It comes down to what your local supplier carries more of. ABS is slightly faster to install because it uses cement only, and PVC uses a primer and cement for it's connections. You really can't go wrong with using either ABS or PVC. PVC has a higher heat resistance and I think this is why it's the preferred tubing in the States. ABS will warp if left in the sun. I learn so much from these comments. Someone referred to ABS as California fittings because apparently they mostly use ABS there. If I were you I'd use the piping that is most common and approved in your area. You're correct, I'm from Alberta, Canada. Cheers from your Northern friend :)

[@mariomarrelli1245]

where does the cleanout go ?

[@JohnCornellier]

If the P-trap is a "union" i.e. it screws on, then that serves as a cleanout.

[@djpcinema]

Beuuuutiful

[@Nic7320]

I prefer using two traps going into a manifold made from horizontal wyes.

[@scarscar2771]

So basically if the homeowner wanted a disposal they are screwed because the rough plumber put the rough drain too high in the cabinet?

[@denisel4736]

Could you get a taller cabinet base and make the countertop and sinks higher to accommodate a disposal? Might not be 'code' but that's an idea....

[@oldarkie3880]

Drain kits for 1 1/2" do not require glue, use nylon washers.

[@suavemang]

That's inch and a half tubular. This is inch and a half DWV hard plastic ABS.

[@JeffLifeInReview]

More great education.

[@destroyingthings7185]

you don't have a event for this drainage ?

[@michaelmcguire8811]

Legitimate thought/question: you said not to have the drainage run "up hill", then proceed to put in a p-trap which goes down, then up. I have always been under the impression that as long as the drain doesn't try to go higher than the source, it's ok. Their original install went "uphill" but not higher than the bottom of the basin. So there's no reason it wouldn't work, right? It wouldn't work for the dishwasher install, true. But for a simple sink install, it would be alright. Theoretically.

[@tristancameron7145]

P-traps are designed to hold water to prevent methane gas from coming from the septic/sewage up to your living space. The original plumbing before he removed everything would gaurenteed drain very slow. The only portion of waste piping holding water should be the P-trap. Deep trap is always a poor idea, theoretically yes it will drain but you will fail inspection everytime

[@anthonytran7566]

Subscribed and like...

[@liandrafahey4082]

don't you need to vent the drain?

[@PROSDIY]

The vent is connected in the wall behind the cabinet.

[@robertmartinez1228]

Hello there,Robert here,i'm curious,how much do you charge for a job like that.

[@PROSDIY]

In my area a job like this would be around $150-$175 CAD. Thanks for the question!

[@jacksplumbingvideos7147]

I use two p traps with a double y

[@Maverick06723]

No all good thanks set up the same is that one good video in Australia comes into kits A kid to join the sings together And a cute with the loop and you need to loop to stop it from smelling some videos showed just straight out But I guess it smell

[@bajtre]

Hi, I have problem with gurgling sink in my kitchen and noone seems to know how to fix it :D I was watching through your videos, and I think i have issue with ventilaton, but here you do not seem to install ventilation valve and in other video kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqi2fY16lpV9bq8 you do install it. Is in this case already connected in the wall and going to roof or something?

[@mv80401]

Look up Studor or air admittance valves which can be added and will fix your issue.

[@jaffahosseini6641]
