    hello dylan here from hammerpedia.com
  • 00:00:02
    and in today's video you're about to
  • 00:00:04
    learn how to plumb a bathroom i'm
  • 00:00:05
    talking drains and vince also stick
  • 00:00:08
    around to the end of this video because
  • 00:00:09
    i'll send you the plumbing diagrams for
  • 00:00:11
    these two bathrooms the first diagram is
  • 00:00:14
    for the bathroom i'm about to plumb in
  • 00:00:15
    this video and the second diagram you'll
  • 00:00:18
    get is for this full bathroom right here
  • 00:00:20
    more on these diagrams in just a minute
  • 00:00:22
    alright so before you plumb a bathroom
  • 00:00:24
    you need to know some basic rough-in
  • 00:00:25
    measurements let's start with the toilet
  • 00:00:28
    i'm using a four-inch closet flange here
  • 00:00:30
    the center of the flange is roughed in
  • 00:00:32
    12 inches measured from the finished
  • 00:00:34
    wall if you're measuring from an
  • 00:00:36
    unfinished wall add in your wall
  • 00:00:38
    thickness most likely that's half inch
  • 00:00:40
    drywall which puts the center of the
  • 00:00:42
    flange 12 and a half inches measured
  • 00:00:45
    from a stud bowl you also need at least
  • 00:00:47
    15 inches of clearance from the center
  • 00:00:50
    of the flange to any adjacent wall or
  • 00:00:53
    adjacent plumbing fixture so that means
  • 00:00:55
    15 inches of clearance to the left and
  • 00:00:58
    15 inches to the right that's code
  • 00:00:59
    minimum and you can have more also
  • 00:01:01
    notice the closet flange sits directly
  • 00:01:04
    on top of the finished floor
  • 00:01:06
    moving over to the bath lab this is a 30
  • 00:01:08
    inch vanity i've got our inch and a half
  • 00:01:10
    bath lab drain centered right in the
  • 00:01:12
    middle of the vanity also the center of
  • 00:01:15
    the drain is approximately 18 inches
  • 00:01:18
    above the finished floor the lav is
  • 00:01:20
    roughed in with an inch and a half
  • 00:01:21
    sanitary tee in the vertical position
  • 00:01:24
    also the water lines are roughed in
  • 00:01:25
    approximately 21 inches above the
  • 00:01:28
    finished floor they're spaced around
  • 00:01:30
    eight inches apart and here's what
  • 00:01:32
    you'll need to connect the plumbing
  • 00:01:34
    under your bathroom sink you'll need an
  • 00:01:35
    inch and a half trap adapter you'll also
  • 00:01:38
    need an inch and a half plastic p-trap
  • 00:01:40
    trim trap kits like this come with two
  • 00:01:42
    different sizes of washer you'll use the
  • 00:01:45
    inch and a half by inch and a quarter
  • 00:01:46
    slip joint washer to connect the lav's
  • 00:01:49
    inch and a quarter waist outlet to the
  • 00:01:51
    inch and a half trap and here you can
  • 00:01:53
    see that reducing washer i'll also
  • 00:01:55
    mention that both major codes in the u.s
  • 00:01:58
    will permit a single basin lab to be
  • 00:02:00
    roughed in with an inch and a quarter of
  • 00:02:02
    it and an inch and a quarter trap
  • 00:02:04
    however in this example i'm going all
  • 00:02:06
    inch and a half let's move around to the
  • 00:02:08
    back of this bathroom so you can see how
  • 00:02:10
    these drains connect together this is a
  • 00:02:12
    nice simple pattern because both the
  • 00:02:14
    toilet and lav dump their waste right
  • 00:02:17
    into our main three inch drain right
  • 00:02:19
    from the vertical the key to this
  • 00:02:21
    pattern is getting your main three inch
  • 00:02:23
    horizontal drain directly under and
  • 00:02:26
    parallel to your plumbing wall moving
  • 00:02:28
    upstream to the toilet here we've got a
  • 00:02:30
    four inch closet flange the flange
  • 00:02:32
    connects to a short piece of four inch
  • 00:02:33
    pvc that drops right into this 4x3
  • 00:02:36
    closet bend the closet bend fitting is
  • 00:02:38
    four inches on the inlet and three
  • 00:02:40
    inches on the outlet now normally the
  • 00:02:42
    plumbing code never allows a drain to be
  • 00:02:44
    reduced in size in the direction of flow
  • 00:02:47
    like this however there's one exception
  • 00:02:49
    and it's with toilets plumbing code does
  • 00:02:52
    not consider a four by three closet
  • 00:02:54
    connection as a reduction in size and
  • 00:02:56
    this fitting is a great choice under a
  • 00:02:58
    four inch flange then our trap arm
  • 00:03:00
    connects right into this three inch
  • 00:03:02
    santee
  • 00:03:03
    now we've got a vertical to horizontal
  • 00:03:05
    transition here several choices in
  • 00:03:07
    fittings but in this example we're going
  • 00:03:09
    with a three inch combo you could also
  • 00:03:11
    use a three inch wide with 45 as well
  • 00:03:14
    also notice the cleanout to add a clean
  • 00:03:16
    out you'll need two additional fittings
  • 00:03:19
    a three inch cleanout adapter and a
  • 00:03:21
    three inch cleanout plug the cleanout
  • 00:03:23
    adapter cements right into the inlet of
  • 00:03:25
    the combo and provides a convenient
  • 00:03:27
    point of access to rod the drain in case
  • 00:03:29
    of a backup let's move downstream to the
  • 00:03:31
    left we've got another vertical to
  • 00:03:33
    horizontal transition here which again
  • 00:03:35
    requires a long sweep fitting in this
  • 00:03:38
    case we're going with a three by three
  • 00:03:39
    by inch and a half wide with 45. now
  • 00:03:42
    this three inch drain continues
  • 00:03:43
    downstream and eventually wise right
  • 00:03:46
    into this home's building drain all
  • 00:03:48
    right let's talk about venting starting
  • 00:03:49
    with the toilets vent the size of this
  • 00:03:52
    event depends on your plumbing code the
  • 00:03:54
    two most common codes in the us is the
  • 00:03:56
    ipc in the upc in the ipc a toilet's
  • 00:04:00
    individual vent is inch and a half in
  • 00:04:03
    the upc it's two inches now to get this
  • 00:04:06
    vent to connect into our three inch
  • 00:04:07
    sanitary tee i'm using a flush bushing
  • 00:04:10
    if you're in the ipc use a three by inch
  • 00:04:12
    and a half flush bushing or if you're in
  • 00:04:14
    the upc go with a three by two bushing
  • 00:04:16
    let's quickly talk about the lavs of it
  • 00:04:18
    i've got it roughed in inch and a half
  • 00:04:20
    although both codes will permit a single
  • 00:04:23
    basin lav to be installed with an inch
  • 00:04:25
    and a quarter of it inch and a half is
  • 00:04:27
    pretty typical though also notice how
  • 00:04:29
    the labs vent offsets horizontal well
  • 00:04:31
    above the labs flood level rim and
  • 00:04:33
    that's important you'll also notice the
  • 00:04:35
    horizontal vent has a slight grade to it
  • 00:04:38
    water vapor can condense inside vent
  • 00:04:40
    pipes and rain water also enters part of
  • 00:04:43
    your venting system so put just a little
  • 00:04:45
    bit of slope on your horizontal vents to
  • 00:04:47
    drain any of that moisture back to your
  • 00:04:50
    drainage system now i will mention
  • 00:04:52
    something to my friends in the upc
  • 00:04:54
    unlike the ipc the upc will let you
  • 00:04:56
    sneak by with a horizontal level vent
  • 00:04:59
    without any grade on it this assumes
  • 00:05:01
    it's above the flood level rim of course
  • 00:05:03
    but keep in mind horizontal vents can't
  • 00:05:06
    have any sags or any drops again that's
  • 00:05:08
    upc only the ipc wants horizontal
  • 00:05:11
    plumbing vents sloped also note we're
  • 00:05:13
    using a sanitary tee to tie the lav's
  • 00:05:16
    individual vent into the toilet's vent
  • 00:05:18
    notice the santee is upside down in the
  • 00:05:21
    ipc this can be an inch and a half
  • 00:05:22
    sanitary tee upside down or the upc go
  • 00:05:25
    with a two by two by inch and a half
  • 00:05:27
    sand tee upside down now this vent
  • 00:05:29
    extends up through the roof or in many
  • 00:05:31
    cases can t into the home's existing
  • 00:05:34
    venting system alright so that wraps up
