Indeed mate

[@loafersheffield]

I always like to run a wash mac after installing too. I don't charge extra for the time for a typical 40 deg. wash cycle, as long as they don't mind me putting my dust sheets, socks and undies in.🤣

Nice job Mark, hope they never paid for installation when they purchased the machine as it looks like the delivery guys did that. You did what any self respecting plumber would do, nice job.

I've been there brother! Plumber from Perth, Australia here. Liked and subscribed! Glad I found your channel! 🪠

Thanks mate and welcome aboard 👍🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@matthewsandford4813]

Hi a lot of plumbers and drainers in Australia have to use coloured pvc primer which is red for the primer and glue which is blue so inspectors can see the joint has been glued. A lot of em tape the 2 bottles together along with a 400 mm long 40 or 50mm pvc pipe in the centre as a carry handle. Recently in a nearby suburb one of these glue units fell out of a tradies ute on a major intersection. Some bright spark called the police and said there was a bomb on the side of the road, well 4 hours later after traffic chaos and the bomb sqaud it was declared safe and Vic Pol got to do some free huffing.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

That’s brilliant…. And to be honest a great way to see if joints have been glued👌🏼

[@BerkeleyTowers]

Top job Mark....... A good recommendation would be for them to get some concrete/sharp sand & cement benching or haunching in that gully so that any splashes or backing up doesnt soak into the soil and goes where it should.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate, yes as said in the video it will be getting repoint/filled etc to make it all good again. It’s completely soaked so letting it dry out as such for a while

[@BerkeleyTowers]

Hiya , as always a fantastic insight into ur day , thank u , hope u don’t mind me adding also useto be a heating engineer / plumber for over 30 x years until I wrecked my back , ( “ as u do, 🤣 “ ) , so could instantly see the first rate level of pride and professionalism u undertake on each and every job, makes u stand out by always going that extra mile , as a side note useto be great fun when I needed to fit 50mm waste pipe at the back of the units, plus a nightmare when some plastic pipe manufacturers wouldn’t fit or some would simply break into pieces , apologises as before I forget I done a few snowmelt systems and were extremely enjoyable , imagine u would also really like that with all the UFH manifolds etc , thanks again , stay safe and have a great week

Thanks for the video. But can i ask Why did you put in a U bend trap on the washing machine waste pipe ? Instead of just connecting it straight into the main waste pipe using a T join ?? Thanks again, Chris

[@robskiing]

Hi mate being a spark myself I find your videos interesting and easy to follow

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate, appreciate that 👍🏼👍🏼

[@louise2467]

When you buy a house, how many folks get a drain survey? I’ve never. The standard “structural survey” has never been adequate. I’m finding whenever I get anything”fitted” that involves water or electricity, I’m having to Google how it really “should be done” as you just cannot blindly “trust” folk. Cannot.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Get a good tradesperson and they will know

[@cathyoshea3844]

Why did you not put the expansion plastic clips on the radiator bracket.

[@chrisholt2474]

Hi Mark, A fantastic film, and good detective work from you to identify the problem. I’ve never heard of the washing machine trap called a hockey stick before, I’m always happy to learn, thank you. Hope all went well with your holiday, you are supporting a good tan. Have a great week, take care, thanks for the fantastic content as always, regards, Chris. 👍👍👍

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks as always Chris…. A few people have said they have never heard it called that… deffo an area thing I guess

[@markrainford1219]

Me neither. The bend up to external gas cabinet is a hockey stick as well.

[@MichaelDoust-r6v]

Hi Mark, love watching your videos on a regular basis. As a plumber myself here in cornwall with my own business, I’m interested to know if you quoted or gave a rough estimate to sort the problems you did, or you just gave an invoice for parts and Labour at the end ? I tend to give a rough idea myself to avoid any shocks for the clients.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate, glad you enjoy the content…. I give them a rough idea then go from there

[@jamessibley8033]

Great work again mate. If you didnt have the space would a anti-syphonic trap under the sink with the spigot do the job?

[@christopherbonanno1120]

Different plumbing over there. Looks like thin wall pvc. Then a tee on it back. A tubular trap on a cloths washer. All big no nos in the USA. Worst is the tee on it back. No direction of flow There’s a few other things that is not allowed to here

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Flow on the tee can be seen buddy, as for the other stuff….. I’m sure there’s big no no’s that you do over there that we wouldn’t.. great to hear what other plumbing around the world is like

[@christopherbonanno1120]

@@MJTiffPlumbing a snake can not determine direction of flow. I understand. From what I saw That it can be snaked from kitchen and snake will go in direction. Not being mean. Looking at it from a ease of repair and longevity view point. I was just surprised. At what I saw. And a for flow on tee. No. When it comes to snaking. It’s a crap shoot what direction snake goes. That is why there is combos and wyes

[@kevindesilva4588]

Always interesting how the same thing is done differently. Being from the UK and having worked in the US along with our plugs our plumbing generally works better when carried out correctly. You cannot even buy a Wye in a UK plumbers merchant .

Great video Mark ive had a dishwasher exactly the same the other week where they had a really long drain hose I was surprised it actually pumped it all that way . When i come home i sort my T out then watch your videos 🤣Awesome video mark keep up the good work and most importantly the videos. 👍

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks Wayne….. much appreciated 👍🏼👍🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@patrickd9551]

Had a fun washing machine piping error myself about a year ago. Pipe was overflowing at the top. So I go about cleaning the trap (completely gunked up) and the pipe appeared full too, but it was old (10+ years), so it could be anything. Long story short, the entire drain pipe was sloped backwards and I ended up replacing about 10 meters of pipe, chiseling out a new hole in the wall. Took me two days sweating in cramped attic corners, because it had to be in the most impossible corner of my house......

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

[@no_short_circuit]

Thanks for the video Mike. I just love your videos, and your work ethic - real world plumbing and some nice tips as well. There's as much chance of a snowball surviving in hell as me getting a plumber to investigate a "funny smell" where I live. Pity you're at the other end of the country!

[@davidclarke2513]

Not for one moment trying to tell you how to do your job ,being in contracting for 50 years plumbers always told me don't put the washing machine waste into the kitchen sink u bend because you will always get waste water gergling back towards your sink and always the smell as well

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Sometimes you’ve got to do what you need to in this job buddy…. As you well know

[@joshcowart2446]

I hate modern washers as far as testing is concerned. Many of them, in order to be efficient, base the amount of water on the weight of clothes. When it’s empty and you’re trying to test this means you can’t fill it without a bunch of clothes. I wish they’d put a test button in this case.

I like the idea of adapting a plastic glove to cover the spigot. So simple... Before that, I had only heard of people using condoms on them.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

What😮😮😮🤣🤣

[@ozzyefc44]

A bit dangerous of whoever to put the plug socket that low down . Could get a water spillage into it . They should always be higher than a water source or further away from one

Do you always solvent weld the waste pipes into soil stacks mate, seen loads that use the rubber ones but I need to do mine and I am erring on the side of solvent weld cheers mate

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Either or mate to be honest…. They both work fine

[@Richardincancale]

6:00 “That damp watery smell…” - not like the dry water smell!! Actually I moved house recently and when I unhooked the washing machine waste tube from the stand-pipe / u-bend the inside of the pipe was disgusting after only 7 years! Real thick brown smelly gunge like concentrated smelly socks - which in fact it is!

Top job mark you have probably saved the back end of the house from collapsing. Washing machine traps are the way to go them multi traps are the devils work, kitchen sink u bend gets blocked with fat and gunk and the water goes down the washing machine waste. They should be banned Here's a top tip you may already know, some washing machines are a pain to get out so get an old broom handle cut it in half lift the front of the machine and slide them under, you can then roll the machine out without damaging the floor.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Nice little tip that mate…. Will be cutting up the garden broom tomorrow🤣🤣 I agree about the traps mate, I will admit to using the spiked traps but would always prefer a “hockey stick”

Madness they spent more time doing extensions rather than do it properly even drilling it out and having the washing machine hose extend out to the gully on its own would have been better 🤦‍♂️

[@KnavishDave]

With the pipe that you put the washing machine outlet into, it looks as though you just put the outlet into it and left it? Is there not a risk of it overflowing when the washing machine drains at the end (i realise thats why its so long)? Could you have put a spigot into that pipe, 3/4 up then capped the top off to completely seal it? Im not having a pop,i just wondered if wahat you did was enough, and what im suggesting is overkill?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

What was done was perfectly fine and worked a treat..👍🏼
