Meanwhile, in my world…..go to home center and discover they don’t have all the needed pieces in ABS or PVC, buy many elbow combinations of each, go home, still doesn’t work. Go back to home center, buy more stuff, repeat 4 more times, cut multiple lengths of pipe to make everything fit because the first 3 pieces were too long or too short. Take a break for dinner. Make sure no one uses the sink. Still doesn’t fit. Go back to home center and buy multiple universal kits with the bendy hose.. jury rig everything together , check for leaks, redo do 2 more times because there are leaks, tighten every connection just short of failure, no leaks, stand back and admire a job well done.

Add in drive 70 miles round trip b/c the local Lowes doesn't have the same plumbing selection that the one in the next town does. Still not sure I have everything I need to make it work. I could order it from them but it won't be here for 5 days unlike the auto parts store which can usually have things for me within 24 hours...

If this is really for beginners then I would recommend dry fitting everything before glueing a single piece. But a nice video. Well paced and easy to understand.

[@rayray8687]

Dry fitting can be difficult on friction-fit joints as they won’t always bottom out until they’re wetted with glue. You’ll probably end up cutting too short for a full fit. Better just to trust your tape.

[@stevelopez372]

@@rayray8687Yes simply measure depth of socket for good measurements. If you dry fit don’t forget to glue all of the joints,lol.😊

[@ralphriffle1126]

Hope everyone noticed he used a " 1 1/2 " trap with a ground joint union. Well done

[@anyone150]

Certain portions of plastic pipes are threaded to allow you to tie one segment to the next. This eliminates the need to glue one part to the next which is best avoided if possible. It will make it easier to take apart and reassemble if you need to clean out debris causing the drain to clog.

[@TheBuildingExpert]

Trap adaptor and union Ptraps make it easy to take apart for cleaning or maintenance. Because trap 90 is glued to the trap arm, line clean out is installed for drain cleaning. Thanks for your comment.

[@KpxUrz5745]

Drains being offset from the sink are most common, even in newly built homes. But it is not a problem as you can see by this informative video.

[@TheSpatulaCity]

Not bad. The only thing that bugs me is that you didn't ream the inside of the cut pipes to ensure smooth flow. Little jagged ABS pieces can easily cling onto hair and start to cause clogs over time.

[@rayray8687]

That bothered me too.

[@neli.a]

Did he glue the p-trap? 😮 Doesn’t that defeat the whole purpose, ie to remove and clear clog or obstruction?

[@petemiller519]

That bothered me three. I am not a pro, but I would install some cardboard on the bottom of the cabinet to prevent drips. I liked how he gave the bottle of glue a little tilt to get glue on the brush. He must have done thousands of sinks. Good video, don't mean to be picky. Cheers.

Thanks, you saved me a bunch of grief. The new rough in put the drain line more than 5" offset from the drain, I'm not sure why they did it that way, they had the utility sink for reference.

Just something for people to keep in mind you're only allowed a 135ﾟ Worth of fittings on the trap arm before it hits the stack. And never use a 90ﾟ fitting unless it's long sweep. You can also use a street 45 in a regular 45 to make a 90ﾟ fitting that's a little smoother.

[@jgz6989]

I imagine any glued pieces can now only be cut off.

[@creativesuit1930]

@@jgz6989 Depends how long ago it was glued. If it's pretty fresh you can twist em out with a pipe wrench or by hand. Also if you're careful you can pick the fitting. For a ptrap I would probably just re pipe it. Not exactly sure what the situation you're referring to is?
