[@oldguy-db1qk]

Dude, you say more in four minutes than most of these guys can say in an hour. I really appreciate your attitude, your work ethic and your ability to explain things in an experienced way. It's obvious that you know your trade and you know how to explain it in a complete and concise way without going all the way back to Cain and Able in the Bible. Thank you for doing such a great job and doing such a great job on your videos.

IDK WHAT STATE YOU ARE IN BUT YOUR PITCH IS WRONG. PLUS YOUR 3 BY R Y IS NOT ROLLED ABOVE THE CENTER LINE

[@robertcherry4971]

He is in North Carolina and his pitch is not wrong. 3 in min 1/8 fall per foot. 2 in pipe or smaller 1/4 per foot. 4 in laterals you cal get away with 1/16 in per foot. Now that is said I still try to get the 1/4 per foot on all but the pitch’s I and he listed will pass code and inspection.

[@ludafial]

Finally, I've been looking for this video for days, I had to watch half hour videos that in the end did not help me, thanks for sharing and for making it short but well explained and easy, bravo.

[@billadam8336]

Here in California, the minimum vent size is 2” for a w/c. I would rough a 2”x2”x 1 1/2” Santee for the lav and go straight up 2” on the dry vent by code in Cali. Thanks for the video, just subbed.

[@coreyfranco7060]

CA is UPC so a drain cant act as a vent. This installation would not be legal there right?

[@playersdream592]

​@coreyfranco7060 the UPC does allow for the horizontal wet vent system depicted in the video.

[@coreyfranco7060]

​@@playersdream592in the UPC code it says "a drain shall not be used as a vent". Im in Clark County NV and I've had my drawings approved showed wet venting but got my balls busted on my underground inspections with having a single wet vent for WC and shower. Out here im seeing either individual vents per fixture or combination double tys

[@jwneilson]

And the WC must be downstream of the other fixtures for a horizontal wet vent, so the system in this video would need to be rearranged a bit for us.

[@jwneilson]

@@coreyfranco7060 If you ever feel like pushing it with the inspector, horizontal wet vents for single bathroom groups are allowed by section 908.2 of the UPC (it's possible Clark co amended it if they use a local version).

[@jeffreyphillips1234]

Great info. You might want to mention that while the slope and trap arm length may be legal in NC, it does not comply with Uniform Plumbing Code. Many states use the UPC and most use the International Plumbing Code. Please check with the plumbing inspector (Authority Having Jurisdiction) or you may be having to tear out your plumbing to make it pass code. All in all though, Great Job!

[@bills6946]

A plumber can be a framing carpenters worst nightmare when he hacks floor joists and wall studs.

[@horrorbiz72]

Thank you so much. Amazing explanation with ZERO wasted time.

[@edwinwise6751]

As a Retired contractor who has done a few bathrooms , I really enjoyed your work on showing stack outs and relative distances and pitch details . More than once I have had a client complain about the horrible smell in the baths I was remodeling. When I opened up the walls there was a stack but never went past the top plate

[@Hjfvvdst]

That was great. A lot of information in a short time and very straightforward. Thanks.

[@Userbrodownunder]

I stopped doing plumbing work in '86 . California. Watching your video surprised me with whats allowable now. Back then only vertical wet vent was allowable, and a WC needed a 2" vent. 2" trap length was 5' , 3" trap length was 6' . Horizontal vents from a wye branch needed to roll up above the center line of the drain too. Lol, my last code book I owned was the 1976 version.

[@paulz9371]

Code hasn’t changed that much, we still plumb that way here in northern california

[@tonymanero5544]

What you saw was redoing a hack job, highly unprofessional by the installer when the room or house was built.

[@Userbrodownunder]

​@tonymanero5544 definitely not UPC. It's atrocious.

[@Limitless1717]

Thank you brother. I'm going to plumb a bathroom in my garage, and I at least have a starting point. Much appreciated. Clear and concise.

[@josephcalisto2528]

Jeff, would love to see a video on how the DWV is tested / inspected. Understand the concept, but would love to see the process step by step. Thanks again for the great content!!

[@joes5096]

No plumber but remember the toilet as 1,2,3. 1 toilet 2in vent 3in drain. Also same answer for water head. 1 psi = 2.3 feet of head. Good video.

[@josephcalisto2528]

Great video, especially regarding the cleanout requirements. After reading the NC code I was a bit confused, but now I'm good to go, thanks!

[@risingtideplumbing]

You bet.

[@chibuezenwadigo7339]

The greatest plumbing video out there

[@sall2877]

Strongly agree with the comments below. By the way I almost never leave comments on videos. If youre a DIY'er save this video and watch it a few times. He tells you just about all the important things you need to know. I spent days researching what he tells you here and have about 25 videos saved in a plumbing playlist. Really good, concise explanation. You still want to do some additional research and I don't want to trivialize a job like this but it is really "do-able" with just a little common sense and research. Thanks for the video.

[@bellilly]

you're helping me understand plumbing logic and i thank you. i'm trying to figure out how it all works (to understand how my house's plumbing is put together), what's important, and your videos are very useful. : )

[@vetgs]

I am about to DIY my mom's house's plumbing, given that we have more time than money and this was a great explanation. I will still check on the city's codes but it gives information on what to look for.

[@The1SuperAtheist]

I was born in N.C in Salisbury and grew up in Albemarle. Now I live in Minnesota. I'm glad I found your channel. I'm currently trying to replace the drain in my basement along with the plumbing to the toilet,shower, and sink. I would also like to replace the upstairs plumbing down the road sometime. When I sell this house I want to get absolutely the top dollar for it so I can purchase a much bigger historical house and restore it.

[@John-hn7pm]

That explanation is about as good as it gets. Thanks

[@dustins2867]

[@JerryShackelford-p3h]

[@wjlarsen]

Thank you for this informative video. Really helpful and educational. More please 🙏

[@Leonitus485]

Make sure you follow your local codes guys because in most jurisdictions a wet vent is not allowed by the inspector. I know some county’s allow it but even then you really shouldn’t do it. Unless you absolutely have to. An example is maybe you need to stay shallow and don’t have the room to run individual vents. A rule of thumb is tell me guys to follow is every fixture should have its own vent.

[@giantgrowth4204]

That's absurd. Wet venting is definitely allowed

[@Energia-977]

Most jurisdictions use the UPC code and horizontal wet venting is absolutely allowed and we plumb countless apartments using it with zero issues.

[@jacobhorton9832]

Tell me you’re not a plumber without telling me you’re not a plumber

[@utahwhiplashclinic]

Great video. Concise and to the point… just like I need the information.

[@spectraldrew]

In California there are some differences, 2" diameter minimum for a vent that serves a closet regardless of drain size. (That sanitary tee would have to be 2" all around) 6 ft. maximum to the vent after closet. 1/8th in./ft. grade is only allowed for 4" and bigger Awesome video, just wanted to point out some differences

[@pescatoralpursuit1726]

Like everything else in California, their vent requirements are as expensive as they are inefficient.

[@JulianSquier-n7x]

Please do a vid on drainage and supply for multiple Kitchen and bathroom residential installation.

[@AlexeiTetenov]

Use the fall as precisely as possible, for example, 1/8" per foot for a 3" diameter pipe. If you pitch it too much, you can have all of the water run down the pipe and leave solids behind to harden into obstructions. The only exception is 45 degrees or more is treated as a vertical pipe.

[@Userbrodownunder]

My old memory was that only until 4" were you allowed to run 1/8 per ft. Slope.

[@ericbuentello9703]

You broke this down really well. I don’t have much experience in roughins here in TX

[@Networkprofessor]

Wow , so informative, thank you for generously sharing

[@plumber1874]

Everyone seems to forget that wet venting is an exception meaning it's allowed but not preferable. The vent in the video is a flat wet vent meaning the vent center line is at same elevation to the drain it's connected to if you're going to use a wet vent the invert of the vent should be above ithe center to the drain line it's connected to

[@darkma1ice]

Dry vent isn’t preferred anymore, if there’s a clog it won’t have water going through it to flush any solid out

Where live we use 4 inch riser for the toilet going to a 4×3 90 to the 3 inch. Comes in handy especially when doing slabs for obvious reasons. If you're drop is to much you vent directly off the drop

[@jamesrevell6475]

I learned more in 4 minutes than I thought was possible and I wish you hadn't stopped. The way you explain things makes it easy to understand and intensely interesting,. The only problem is that the video was too short. I know just enough now to get myself in trouble. You started to explain how to count the turns and just left me hanging. After a maximum of 4 horizontal turns then what???

[@Z-Bart]

I find it interesting all the different plumbing codes across this great Country. What's acceptable one place may be totally unacceptable elsewhere. For instance. Lets say that bathroom group was basically the only DWV in a small 1 bedroom cabin or such. Here where I live there has to be one full sized VTR. Don't forget: "It's not a mess up until the concrete is poured". Lol.

[@johnbagewll2321]

Yes, I wish all states, cities and counties were on the same page. You would think in 2024 that the rules are the rules but the folks who make decisions per to code can disagree just one county away here in MD.

[@leemason4024]

Jeff, you are really good at this! I've done plumbing in my past, including my entire house when I was in my 20s. I have been doing some plumbing again & I needed some confidence building. Your videos are "the ticket", & so packed with info! Thank- you kind Sir!

[@VicMackeyful]

Cool short video, i like seeing the difference in plumbing in other states in the U.S. im from Massachusetts and its very close to what you explained. Only difference is the 3X2 wye and 2" wye would need to be rolled up above the drain, which is almost impossible to fit most plumbing especially if the floor is only 2x8 joists .

[@johnsterne178]

very concise

[@rickywinthrop]

No horizontal 90's allowed in Ontario period. 1/4" drop on a 3" required instead of 1/8 and never use a 2" ptrap for a tub but always for a shower (not sure what you were roughing in for but likely a shower based on positioning). We also have to use schedule 40 pvc pipe or ABS here as that pvc isnt great with the cold. Stil a good and useful video conceptually despite the small differences! Wet venting what we call a "bathroom group" [s the cheapest and most efficient way to go where applicable.
