Relocating Washing Machine & Dryer Part 1

[@mayacallender6278]

How did you know where the best place to open the walls to access the vent/drain pipes was?

[@cman12]

You need a code book

Thank you. Im in the process of flipping my washer and dryer location theyre on the opposite side of the wall.

Dear God, did you hack thru a main support on the floor? They don't put 2x12 lumber in unless it's needed.

Calm down Nancy.

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed watching the work being done and I got a few ideas. I had to mute the sound though. That music was driving me crazy!

where is the washer vent

Kevin OKeefe you can see it in the finished photo.. minute 11:45.

Luna’s Lovey the metal vent towards the bottom of the video is the dryer vent. The 2” pvc pipe you see in the middle of the video that goes up and behind the drywall is the vent pipe for the washer..

What's up with that vent

[@andishkoza4925]

Why you capped the vent my friend ?

[@rogercollins239]

I think it's one of those valve vents. That said, it should be higher than the source.

[@valeriesittle6198]

It's a overflow vent and it needs to be capped for the dirty water coming out but it doesn't need to be higher.

[@carebearrulz333]

Who do u call to remove the wall?? Or did u guys do it yourself??

[@TaliahJenee]

We did it ourselves. More like my husband did it.

[@rickeykeeton4770]

Connection to main sewer??

[@truepercula]

I would have added braces to the 2X4 (above and below) after you drilled through them. With only .5 inches of the stud remaining on both sides of the pipe.

[@internalharm]

Its probably a partition wall thats why he didnt add it but I agree.

[@cbeuning]

That is the right way to do it! So many people cut a notch out of the side. Stick to the middle!!

[@therobnfw]

Why two massive units? Why don’t you have a washer and dryer that’s one unit?

[@luxuryhomes8889]

how much did it cost to change the location of the W/D?

[@TaliahJenee]

The materials weren't expensive at all. For all the plumbing it wasn't more than $200-$300. The labor would be expensive if you didn't know how to do it yourself.

[@ericolijnyk3392]

6 to 18 and 18 to 30 to40... Some know what I'm talking about... The vent should be a loop vent.. Loop plumbing up with one of them oatey vent back flow jammez. where is the dryer getting vented to?? Because the plumbing should follow.

[@sebecwitch]

I picked this video to see how you moved the plumbing and electrical, do you not have that on video?

[@TaliahJenee]

Unfortunately, I don't. My husband rerouted the plumbing under the house in the crawl space, so I was not able to get footage.

[@johan.sebastian]

was all that done according to the code? Would it pass inspection?

[@TheMattAbeln]

I was just thinking about the PVC going through the 2x4s. Theres no way that would pass if it was load bearing right?

[@valeriesittle6198]

@@TheMattAbeln You are correct and the whole thing would have to be replaced if it isn't up to code.

[@ozwaltreacts4709]

On the drain pipe in the wall. Why is there a capped off short pipe sticking up?

[@berniemac8413]

It’s there for you to decide how to install the water shutoff valves.. some people want them on the bottom and others may want them at the top.. hence, if they want them at the top, you can rotate the box 180 degrees and use that small section as your drain.. otherwise, you cap it..

[@ozwaltreacts4709]

@@berniemac8413 That makes sense. Thanks!

[@berniemac8413]

OzWalt Reacts you’re welcome!

[@logepoge1]

I think you got the wrong answer. I'm betting Bernie thought you were talking about the box, not the vent. At the end of the video, you can see that they replaced that short capped off part with a longer pipe. It's probably the vent

[@Imaginaryfriendpark]

Homie didn’t use any primer or cement for the PVC 😮

[@berniemac8413]

@@Imaginaryfriendpark he did use primer and glue. Look at part of the final product at 11:45. You can clearly see the purple primer. What he was doing throughout the video was a rough general assembly. People who aren’t plumbers tend to mock things up first to make sure everything is going to fit, disassemble, and then come back and glue everything together.

wait til you sprain your wrist or worse one-handing that hole saw! you'll wish you let the sawdust pile up.

[@rsaybe4341]

That is true. Always use two hands. I was drilling a 4" hole in my roof using a hole saw attached to my drill when part way through the saw got caught up and just stuck while the drill whipped around a few times and nearly knocked me off the ladder. I been with a sprained arm and elbow for over 7 weeks now. Still haven't fully recovered.

@@RangerCaptain11A That sounds really awful. I'm thankful my incident wasn't as bad. I have developed a new kind of respect for hole saws now. I made another 5" hole on the same roof about a week ago and took it very slow. Never went full speed in fear that the saw might catch again. It's kinda like PTSD now. Heh. It's best to go slow and easy and not rush through it. While my right arm hasn't fully recovered, I was still able to use both hands while putting most of the strength on my left arm.

We did red for hot and blue for cold. I put in the picture at the very end. I was just showing how we were going to run the pex :) Thanks for watching!

[@crutcher2244]

Pex is pex, there is no code that requires color coordination. Looks great!

[@rothe31]

Only thing I see without seeing finish product before Sheetrock is nail plates protecting the drain pipe from accidental screw puncture. Don’t know if it is code (I assume it would be for any water carrying line positive pressure or not). I know in my new bathroom laundry room that I built from concrete floors and walls (when I started framing it in, I used nail plates on anything that wasn’t electrical. Water supply lines and waste water pipes.
