There are plenty of plumber picture books to get the right idea.
Here in Asia, they don’t even know what a close system means and venting.

They are catching up on technology but way behind in plumbing standards.

Lousy plumbing a supplies, i guess they copied Europe too much.

Maybe he’s that smart plumber that get’s payed to fix plumbing as opposed to teaching others to Do it Themselves. As I have no clue about plumbing besides shit runs down hill and air pushs it through, I appreciate your videos, but respect that other plumbers dont make them!

My plumber from Lakeland, Florida just glued the PVC and one month later my master bed room and my guest bathroom were flooded damaging the entire floor, wall, wasting all my brand new tile/laminate floor and walls as well as all the bath attachments. They never came back to fix it. They were Polk County school board worker.

Thanks for the comment. The only thing missing from it is the exception where it’s fine to do if you then add the code-approved Simpson Strong-Tie metal wraps that compensate for the lost wood.

Just a side note to all you weekend warriors…don’t run 1 1/2″ vent pipe through 2″ x 4″ studs on a load bearing wall. In this video, he doesn’t have to worry about it, but be careful esp. when working on exterior walls.

Yes. Furthermore, you need to make sure that sink stack can handle the extra fixture load. Don’t know what that means? Look it up or call in a pro.

if i tap into an exsisting vented sink drain do I still have to vent the new sink?

You are right, that little flapper and spring will eventually wear out leaving you with a sewer smell. Some states they are illegal. In ilinois mechanical vents are against code.

Thanks for the comment. Sounds like you know a little bit about the topic. I went to your channel and not one plumbing video. How about you take the time to share your plumbing knowledge via some videos?????? Focus your energy on videos rather than the keyboard. :->
