Leak Under Kitchen Sink Cabinet

Leak Under Kitchen Sink Cabinet? A common problem I run into on a daily basis, but when I took a look under this double kitchen sink I just shook my head. Who does this stuff? The original leak was actually coming from the pull-out hose sprayer on the faucet.
Upon a closer inspection of the way the double sink was piped, I recommended re-piping both sinks and the dishwasher right up to the wall. I recommend doing it all in schedule 40 p.v.c. pipe and fittings, which basically will last a lifetime.
Leak Under Kitchen Cabinet? Check out the video to see how I fixed this client's problem, and as a bonus created some additional room for storage. They were thrilled! Which is always a good thing!
Happy Plumbing!

now it looks like a professional did the job, txs for sharing...

[@Dr.GreenPlumb]

Since you ask bob, I would do 90 coming off tailpiece on right side to San t coming down left side going into trap with y coming out of wall clean out on straight piece of y. Dishwasher on horizontal piece. Many ways to do it thanks for video and showing us how you do

[@cribbsprojects]

Golden rule - It's always Friday for these types of jobs in NYC! One of many such horror stories in NYC. That was a pretty decent job. As always, a great value added video, Thanks.

[@richardgarcia6108]

It looks professional! The difference is night and day. Schedule 40 pvc dwv is the best material to use. I’ve used. The only caveat is that you need to know your stuff to do it right otherwise you can redo it multiple times. Most of the time I replacing the existing polypropylene that many homes have. On that stuff if there is a garbage disposal I always use a brass locknut to connect the waste arm from the disposal. It much stronger, less of a chance of losing up with the vibrations by the disposal. Keep up the professional work! I’m looking forward to your next video. Happy plumbing!

[@Chrominance87]

The split ring hanger was a nice touch for added support, most plumbers wouldn't have bothered with that.

[@BobsPlumbingVideos]

You got right...😂😂😂

[@danieleminicucci8159]

I’m glad you picked up the pace.

[@tonym6920]

Wow! That was like Plumbing Nightmares 101, lol. Great job! 👍👍.

[@scottk0623]

Nice work Bob, looks great. I can’t believe they used all that brass. Always a pleasure to see your videos.

[@JohannnesBrahms]

That "frog" of a drain system was transformed into a "prince" of pipes with the touch and skill of your magic hands.

[@BobsPlumbingVideos]

To kind Johannes!

[@armandomadrigal9793]

wow!! Bob you are the Picasso of the plumbing world. Thanks for sharing

[@nickcollins7568]

Very nice job. One very happy customer 👍😎

[@nelmirantz15]

Slick job! Nice touch with cleanout.

[@anthonykotoff3041]

The dishwasher connection is in the perfect place. It will clean out the drain as the dishwasher is being used. Good move !

[@rickkelly1241]

I think you may have a future in plumbing...

[@richardlewis4288]

You did a great job! Owner must have been thrilled. I would be!

[@jagonzales12]

Great job in the field. Job looks beautiful & very nice. Keep making more jobs in the field. God Bless you James

[@catcolbert9044]

Nice job as always....

[@lime22tia]

Great job Bob, you cleaned up under the cabinet.

[@bigjohn2520]

Just like Steve Lav. Good work.

[@mohawkmike142]

Only thing I'd do different Bob is a removeable trap. people put all kinds of crap down their kitchen drains. That brass work was a thing of "beauty". Hacks abound.

[@williamdyckman9704]

Bob, nice and neat!!

[@robertbernardo2030]

So on the connections from piping to strainer i use. 2'' X Tubular no hub couplings it eliminated gaskets locknuts very well done. RB

[@BobsPlumbingVideos]

No one had CK115 no hub couplings in (would have clamped directly onto the strainer) in stock, had to go to the next best option!

[@stephenzies8867]

Great Job Bob Nice And Neat

[@frankm496]

Perfect Job! Thanks for posting

[@jimsmith5606]

Very nice job bob , enjoy your videos!!!!

[@bkoz319]

i wouldve tried to put the clean out after the p-trap, its hard to fish a snake thru the trap

[@benjamingoldschmidt8820]

That was pretty amazing. You know, our undersink area is pretty busy looking... Perhaps we should hold a competition. Post your worst plumbing disasters and whichever is deemed the worst by bob gets some advice on how to fix it in the next video?

[@BobsPlumbingVideos]

I like it👍

[@bbass56]

Nice work !

[@CHILEtv012019]

Job well done! It is nice to have a plug on the PVC drain line, easy to clean up. Thanks.

[@BobsPlumbingVideos]

Glad to help

[@423alonso]

Great job 👏👏👏

[@jcaleca60]

As always a great job Bob that's what you get with a license ma 😊ster plumber not a handyman

[@jerseydevil3799]

Looks good bro

[@florence3146]

good job as usuel

[@markalvarez6939]

made a project out of this...brass tubing would have been fine

[@louietheplumber3609]

That’s gonna last 200 years

[@danielbrinkman8069]

the way is was taught, you never lay a sanitary tee on its side like that. great work though your obviously a good plumber.

[@BobsPlumbingVideos]

True, but we improvise if we must!

[@deadstiff6486]

Good job , I would of put a 1-1/2 wye of the trap arm with a clean out plug then 45 it towards left side of sink then p trap then San tee vertically off tail piece then would of put waste 90 and caught ride side of sink ! Couldn’t tell if you had an air gap or not ? If you did I would of put a side out on the tail piece to drain dishwasher!

[@BobsPlumbingVideos]

No air gap, just looped the hose up to the underside of the countertop.

[@jcaleca60]

I won't be around either schedule 40 last a very long time I like it never rust

[@kevin7151]

Nice work Bob. You really cleaned up that mess underneath. I like that you put the cleanout in for future maintenance as well as the support brace in too. While you were in there, did you consider replacing the hot valve with a quarter turn (looks like the cold is already is a quarter turn) and adding escutcheons for both cold and hot sides? Lastly, was this done in NYC or a neighboring county? At one time, NYC was particularly strict about the use of SCH 40 and insisted on metal drainage. Perhaps the code has changed. I live just outside NYC limits in Nassau county but have a 85-year-old house and have been replacing the metal drainage with SCH 40 over the years during renovations. To your point, I expect it will outlive me without any issues. Also, wishing you and your family a great 2022.

[@BobsPlumbingVideos]

Thank you Kevin, PVC is legal in residential homes 5 stories or less. Work was performed in Brooklyn N.Y, and no did not address the 1/4 turn valves.

[@kevin7151]

​@@BobsPlumbingVideos I didn't realize that Bob. Thanks for the clarification. I have friends who live in Ditmas Park in Brooklyn (Stratford and Cortelyou) and they told me that they had to replace all drainage with metal during renovations. That said, that was a few years back but am glad to see that SCH 40 can be used today. Does the same thing apply to PEX? They let you use it here in Nassau county, but am old school and always use tried and true copper for hot and cold lines. It's been in my house 85 years and figure it will last another 85.

[@stephenzies8867]

Say Hi To Froggie For Me

[@frododavis9082]

You asked what would you do? Allow me to tell you. I would have done the same thing you did inside the wall, Then I would have installed a 2'''' wye with a ftg CO adapter on the end of the wye. Out of the center of the wye I would have installed a 2'' trap centered on the first bowl with a 2x1 1/2 bushing. A 1 1/2 san tee on top of the bushing pointed at the second bowl, in between the tee and the 90 for the seond bowl would be a ftg 1 1/2;; wye with bushing oriented at a 45 degree above flow to catch the Dishwasher

[@BobsPlumbingVideos]

Nice!

[@mikev.1034]

👍👍

[@chrisxleung]

Looks good Bob. My family still puts in brass tube under the kitchen sink during repairs. Is PVC the better choice moving forward?

[@BobsPlumbingVideos]

I still use tubular brass, but in this case P.V.C. was better choice and will last forever IMHO!

[@Ryan-dj5ku]

I thought IPC table 706.3 does not allow sanitary tees in vertical to horizontal connections?

[@BobsPlumbingVideos]

Technically correct!

[@Ryan-dj5ku]

@@BobsPlumbingVideos Thanks for the reply! I wasn't sure since it doesn't seem like thin wall connections meet code for tees/wyes either. Personally, I think your installation looks and will function much better than thin wall connections anyway. The code can be a little nit picky!

[@bobbywenger5595]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@kathykendall533]

Where did you put the dishwasher drain hose?

[@BobsPlumbingVideos]

To the extreme right, next to the right side strainer. Bushed it down to 1/2".

[@Da_Boss64]

Does a kitchen sink require a p trap cause mine down not?

[@BobsPlumbingVideos]

Absolutely!

[@susanmatisa4313]
