What type of washer goes inside a flush pipe screw cap/nut? 1 1/2 inch doughnut washer? What type of washer is it?

Thanks for posting! Just replaced an old shallow bath with a new deep one, kept the overflow and waste since they were still good but had no instructions since the previous installer took them. Got a lovely clean and solid seal on the waste now :)

You always make look easy and straightforward. Thank you so much, steve

Nice and clear explanation of how to do a very important job!! And I ALWAYS read the instructions - last thing you want is a flippin' leak from the waste! Not sure if I'm allowed to mention a specific product but Plumbers Gold is what I used on the last job I did. Some people say you shouldn't need silicone or anything but as you say, expecting a good seal on a rough surface like the backside of a bath is asking a bit much. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

Going to be doing my bathroom in about 3 weeks time .been watching for advice and must say in my opinion best videos I have seen .thankyou

I'm doing a DIY bathroom renovation at the moment so your videos are really helpful!

Thanks so much ..just plumbed and fitted bath, watched a number of your videos ...worked a treat!! Thanks again Duncan

Great James, if you ever get a chance to do a video on a freestanding bath (the ones that right down to the floor) and a freestanding bath tap, that would be great. There are very few if any videos online I can find from UK plumbers on these two things.

just bought first house and this vid was perfect and best one i found on this subject thank you

I’m a plumbers mate kinda guy but still a cracking install 😂

Thanks mate love your videos. Funny and clear to follow

great video James as always.

Real life plumbing 🙏 thanks James

Thanks once again for a brilliant video, I managed easily to fit the waste etc, you have just saved me from paying a plumber. Subscribed 👍🏻

Nice one james looking good mate 👍👍

Oh my god Bloody lovely video that as always 👍

thanks, mate you just stopped my leak. that one little bit sometimes the trap waist don't go together properly it goes up to the rubber ring, it worked thank you

So helpful thank you 🙏

Ha! I don't feel like that!

Thanks for posting. So far, I've had to replace my Flomasta pop-up bath waste assembly 3 times as the moulded spigot in the back of the hand control drive gear shears off due to excessive effort on the part of family members in trying to get the waste to open against the weight of a full bath of water. I'm a bit limited in the clearance beneath the bath so haven't tried other models to date, plus working access is a nightmare. Can you recommend a stronger, more reliable pop-up style bath waste please James.

Very useful thanks!

Spot on James thanks again. 👍

James, great video as always. Our bath came with a p trap and flexi hose. How do you connect the flexi hose, or the p trap to solvent weld pipe?

Very good video!

Can we use plumber mait instead of silicon?

Excellent

Taking shape 😍😍😍💪💪💪

I just installed a bath bottle trap from the MCAlp’ brand. The reason for this is because there was an existing wetroom drain off centre that I wanted to connect into (with a converter) and the product allows a top access to bath trap and adjustable rotation direction on the bath waste pipe. Oddly though it drains perfectly for baths but I do get the occasional poor drain on a shower run. Falls are all there ok. The product does have an adjustable water seal so maybe there’s a problem there or that I’m running it into another trap?

Just at the right time. Need to redo mine as it's stumped me. If someone runs a bath without the plug in place, the overflow pipe in the alleyway starts to dribble. I don't get it! As I'm replacing the shower mixer taps, I may as well do this as well.

I'm watching this already having fitted the bath hehe

Great video, albeit a bit late now I’ve installed a Bathroom, downstairs loo and a utility room (all done after avidly watching most of your videos I might say) what I’d like to see is a master class of how to use the glue joints on the wastes. After having one leak I always use compression fittings now which can look awful!! Like a hamster cage maze on steroids.

I thought a shallow bath trap wasn't suitable for connection into a soil stack!! please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong ??

Hi, only just discovered your channel but lots of help already... don't suppose you have any product recommendations/advice on how to fit an overflow to a curved (corner) bath without it looking like leftover dinner?! It doesn't come with one, I can't find profiled ones, and don't know what amazing devices could be out there to make it look neat while also sealing properly

My waste pipe is fixed in the wall but is too low in height to marry up with the usual P trap. Wazte is std 40mm but cant suss out to to connect the two. The height difference is about 50mm so sure a short straight coupler would work.

Hi, what type of sealant should be use for sealing. Too many kinds are available in market. You are using here Stixall which has Adhesive properties as well, so is it safe and suitable for sanitary. Thanks

Thanks

Good video James, but how do you get around building regs which requires a 50mm water seal as your trap is a shallow version?

Last time i read the instructions my eyes fell out, just wing it lads lol

Your not wrong... old Jamesy boy. It is a long old series.😉🤣

Any chance of a link to the exact bath waste you used in this video James.... Great video by the way!

Did you also make a video of the sealant and wood frame construction for the white plastic panel you showed in the previous videos?

Thanks, just struggling to seal up under the plug against the fibreglass, would you use silicone instead of rubber seal supplied

Always the place to come if you get stuck on a DIY job at Home

Thanks!

Welcome!

Hello and hope you are well. I’m from the US and I’m trying to find the sink fix product. It’s a great product and it would come in handy for me. I need to reattach my pedestal sink to the wall. Please advise. Thank you so much.

I've just fitted a new one of these and I'm having massive problems. Done the fitting OK, but there's a slow drip when taking a shower or opening a bath tap. Just keep adding more and more sealant around the fitting, hoping to plug any slight gap, but water is still very slowly getting through somewhere. It might help if I could see what I was doing, but I'm working almost blind, and am totally blind on the opposite side of the fitting!

Easy enough when you have an open fronted bath. What about a freestanding bath which has solid sides and goes right to the ground ?

Good bit of Baking

Question: Would you be willing to travel and work on of my properties I like and trust your work?

Is that a Trojan cast bath? Looks Rock solid!!

How long should you let the silicon set before using the bath?

What shallow trap did you use please?

Do you experience any syphon on the drain…water pulling out of the trap? Here in the states they say that can occur with an S trap….there’s always code/text and then there’s the real world. Videos are great, cheers 🍻

I`ve just finished fitting a new bath. Not a cheap one, middle of the range. Took me two hard weeks with moving a wall and doing the plumbing myself. ( I live in France and plumbers are rare). I made sure the bath was rock solid and will be a sod to ever get back out. Fitted Dumawall tiles. I had a shower and all fine, no leaks. Wife then started filling it to take a long bath and water dripped through the fibreglass at the plug end. It`s not a waste pipe leak, it`s faulty manufacturing of the bath. I nearly cried. The first waste pipe kit I bought was also faulty and the curtain pole was too. Is nothing made properly anymore?

The joint between the spout under the bath and the u-bend trap keeps leaking even though both are brand new. Keep taking it apart and putting it back together but cannot understand why it's leaking. The screw on connector sort of clicks and drops after being tightened. Are we just overtightening it? Have tried swapping out the ubend trap thing so that's not it. :-(

What's the piece called that's at 8.42 +...it seals the drain hole at the bottom of the bath. Been asking hardware shop workers for it but they have no idea , keep giving me the little normal washers

Hi have a 35mm copper waste water pipe how do i join in new plastic waste pipes to the old copper pipe

Hi mate. Thank you so much for the video. Just got a leak and figured out it's the coming from the grey rubber seal you show in the video. Need to clean and reseal. Think the original has dried up. What would you suggest? Think you said bonding and sealant silicone. Think I saw Evostik on your video?.. p.s Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 to you and loved ones

Went and bought Plumbers Gold! Very sticky stuff.. Hope it was the right choice for this. Think the previous guy had put Plumbers mait.. from the cakey dried crap in between. Just hope I'm going to be able to take it off if I need to?

I need help installing it

What silicone are you using? Plumber gold ?

We got a Alps 1660x735 modern roll top bath. Not much room in the bathroom but nice bath for it. But as you'll, there is no access to under the bath as its all one mould. How does anyone fix the waste to this? We're scratching our heads. Free standing bath apparently.

Most of the time the pipe from the over flow into the assembly under the bath is just a push-on with no nut and seal. If so, wrap a bit of ptfe tape round the stub to ensure a snug fit. It'd be horrible to see and ugly brown patch appear in your kitchen ceiling due to a leak. This happened to me and it took yonks to find the leak.

I am a plumber from Kabul Afghanistan and need help to install water softener digital valve can you help me?

Where did you buy your bath overflow/waste from?

What height would you do the bath

Hi mate. Theoretically if the overflow pipe fell off the fitting at the top of the bath because it wasn't connected securely and its now laying on the floor. Could emptying a full bath of water down the waste hole and filling the pipes cause a lot of the bath water to leak out of the overflow pipe that is no longer connected to the bath and soak the floor? Thank you.

Why not spend a few dollars more and buy a w/o kit thats not garbage, and get one thats hardpiped and not thats not flimsy garbage waste pipe. Thats how you separate real plumbers from handymen with a plumbing license
