Hey this is just my opinion. Don't knock the toilet flange center out and leave it in the drain for future problems. I was just at a Ladies house that had one stuck in her drain. Good thing my camera seen it and I was able to fish it out

If you plan on using a trim kit on the toilet supply please keep it higher than 6". Thanks, from trim carpenters everywhere installing common 5.5" baseboard.

I am an older woman desperate to learn how to do home repairs myself. Your videos have helped me immensely. The way you teach makes it easy for me to believe I can do it. That remains to be seen but whatever happens, thanks so much

The first step is research

This is an excellent video. I'm a licensed plumber and I wish people would watch this video before attempting to build their own plumbing systems. I've been watching some of the other videos on the channel and learning lots. I figured I'd watch this one to nitpick a lil since I'm a licensed plumber and honestly some of the tips here are incredible. The hole saw sizing to be used for the toilet AND the shower. I honestly never even considered that. The wood spacer on the toilet flange is an amazing idea that plumbers in my area don't do and we regularly have leaks on wax seals because the face of their flange isn't the 1/8" - 1/4" above the finished floor. I think it's neat how you individually vent the toilet because that's a more commonly accepting practice across different states and codes even though wet venting is a common practice in some areas. You really set the viewer up for success with that one. It'd be worth adding a bit on how the shower was vented. I wouldn't recommend flushing the flange test plug down the drain though. We get a few calls about those getting stuck in odd places here and there and it always feels kinda silly to have to tell people that large plastic flaps don't always travel down the drain very well. Fish it out with an extra long pair of needle nose pliers. Drill it out with a hole saw or rip the tab on top in a twisting motion and it should come out. Other than that and a few personal preferences on finish pipes I've gotta say you know plumbing better than some plumbers I know and I've been doing this for about 10 years. If you know the other trades about as well as you know plumbing, I feel pretty confident you've taught me enough to build my own house properly or at least close enough for the inspectors to correct me on just minor things. Thank you.

I’m a certified industrial chemical plumber, we often use pvc for its chemical resistance. You cannot let the primer fully dry. The pipe and fitting must both be tacky when you apply the glue or you will not get a full chemical reaction. Also it isn’t dry fitting anymore once you wet the pipe with primer, all that twisting and pulling on the primed fittings is disturbing the primed surfaces

Great information.... great presentation.

Do yourself a favor and buy some Milwaukee hole saws with a quick release mandrall. When its time to remove the wood scrap from the hole saw, just first pull back the quick release by hand, pop the drill into reverse holding the saw by hand to unscrew the saw from the mandrall, and then use the tip of the pilot bit to push out the circular wood scrap. I spent many years the hard way removing cores with whatever was nearby. So much easier and professional now.

Great job brother I like that

got confused by the "Lav", in the UK that would be the physical toilet. Seems in the North America it means the sink unit. Good video, primer is for PVC pipe, if you are using other materials use the appropriate glue. Your note to orient your fittings so the bend goes with the flow was a nice touch. If you get stuck. As a rule of thumb, **** runs downhill due to gravity.

Well Done!

3rd year here. Very informative. I was hoping you would watch for truss lol. Hit a few not paying attention when I started plumbing. We usually just secure the flange to the subfloor and use riser rings during trim if there is tile. I'm not sure what you would do if a truss was right under your shower drain. Can you wet vent where you are from?

As a plumber I watched this video and there are few things that I would never do. But for the homeowners doing it themselves this video is for you
