San-tees vertical application only. Comby's can be set vertical, and-or horizontally. Most don't know actual reason, sweep within a San-tee is to short, to allow most cables to travel through the sweep, for any future stoppage problems within designated fixture completed. Comby's have much longer sweeps within the fitting, cables will travel no struggle through any comby fitting, if using correct size cable per designated drain line. Which is a another very important aspect. Due to example you have a sewer stoppage, but no existing outside, and-or inside 3"-4" inch sewer clean-out access to cable the sewer line. Most will attempt to cable through a roof vent, very large, also very time consuming loss, if the sewer stoppage was created within any bush, or especially tree roots within the sewer line. 98% time, said person cabling the sewer line from a 1-1/2, or 2" inch roof vent will most likely clear the sewer line yes, only to realize retrieving the cable back through a 1"-1/2, or 2"inch vent, will be virtually impossible, due to roots will be wrapped on the cable, which in turn virtually impossible to retrieve the cable back through the in-correct vent chosen to cable the sewer. If the house, and-or commercial property doesn't have a minimum 3"inch existing vent, do yourself a very large favor, don't attempt to clear the sewer line through an 1"-1/2 or 2"Inch vent. Pull the toilet within furthest toilet rear property, run the cable through the existing closet-bend fitting, this application process, no excessive struggle upon retrieving your cable, post/after clearing the sewer line. Due to closet-bends come in 3"-inch, through 4"-inch sizing, even if moderate amount tree roots, through extreme amount tree roots, cable will be retrievable. Without the all to common, can't retrieve the cable, post/after running the cable through in-correct vent lines, sewer most likely clear yes, but now the normality, is digging up particular designated area, within front yard, also acceding the sewer line, having to cut/expose process, to retrive your cable. The tieing the sewer line back in, back till your newly exposed hole, all un-nessesary within entire process. A 2.5-3 hour service call, now evolved into totally un-nessesary full day, time utilzated waste.

Maybe the plumber needs to get a job shoveling snow! LOL

[@popsisop3367]

I shoveled snow all through my apprenticeship from 1980 to 1984 before work then worked all day up to 10 hours then straight to school. I would seal off under that crawl space,it's a disaster. A real plumber could repipe that whole system very easily and very legally without much effort. I did whole house changeovers from septic to city sewers in crawl spaces alot in the 80's and 1/8 inch per foot was all that was required or as we always said ( cracking the bubble for fall ). In 43 years i've only plumbed 1 new home in my entire career the rest hospitals , schools and sewage treatment or water treatment plants. I have worked with so many horrible plumbers who even refused to use a torpedo level on a job. They Never set foot on one of my jobs. Couldn't shoot an instrument or figure tenths and hundreds. As for the hole through the wall i always sleeved it and made it look nice and made sure it wasn't running into a Main Beam. Sigh

Nope the gas lines and the drooping 3/8 bendable copper lines that are insulated were installed by 2 separate licensed plumbers years ago.

To be more clear, the gray gas line was installed years ago, and then the black gas line that ties into it was installed by a third plumber.

been a licensed plumber for 40 yrs and from the looks of things I would guess neither one of you are qualified to plumb an outhouse.

[@paypatay1]

If you've been a plumber for 40 years i would venture a guess that you would do as crappy of a job as the old plumber that did this work. Being so fat and stiff you couldn't fit under the house and you'd send your village idiot brother under the house like this "class A" plumber did.

[@Scorpionbite8]

The main drain has a illegal fitting going to the kitchen sink.

[@universalglitch]

That was no plumber you had there. I see nothing but handyman work. Make sure you only hire a licensed plumber to do the work. That's easily 2k worth of work for someone who does it the right way. 1500.00 is actually low, in my opinion. This is what happens when you take low bids, you get starving inexperienced handymen to do your work. Real plumbers are never cheap.

[@paypatay1]

This was in 2017. I had a major house fire and had to have it completely rebuilt. I hired a Class A general contractor and he provided all of the trades. He provided the plumber as well to re route the drain and supply lines to the new laundry location. These are the results of a "professional" plumber (I saw his class A license after this video was made}. I have other plumbing videos of work by this same plumber on my home rebuild. I do regret my choice of words at the time complaining and labeling ALL plumbers as bad. I had been dealing with the worlds worst GC and his subs.

[@universalglitch]

@paypatay1 What state or country has a class A plumbing license? Never heard of such a thing. I'm curious. Also 2017 doesn't matter much. Plumbing rates and parts have gone up since then but not by that much for plastic fittings. I do agree that all licensed proffesionals are not equal but most of the time the ones with cheap hourly rates suck and do jobs cheap because they have no reputation in their work. I hold my work to very high standards, I also charge a premium price for that expertise and skilled labor. 20 years of knowledge and skill costs more than 2.

Like the one guy said the tee on it's back is not supposed to be like that, not code, it's restricting the down flow in the waste pipe like that, you are suppose to angle it with a 45 with a space between it and then into a wye connection, and it didn't seem to have the proper clean out on the end.
