Basement Bathroom Rough In Plumbing Tour

hey guys seems Jeep here I'm at the point now where I'm getting ready to start the work on my basement bathroom project and I figured I'd bring her along for the for the ride essentially I'm at the starting point for this now all I really did was frame out the walls give you a quick walkthrough here this is essentially going to be the door coming in alright you got to walk around this corner here this is going to be a closet that is going to have the sewage ejector pump in the floor right here I'm going to have the sink vanity the toilet is going to be over in this corner and on the other side of this wall is going to be a 42 inch shower alright basically like I said I'm going to have the pump in the floor right here sewage is basically going to pump out of this up the wall and as you can see here I already tied into the mean for the house that is a 2 inch PVC that all I really did right now is just cap it off to stop the sewer gases from coming in that goes around and is tied into my 4 inch main for the house which runs down behind this wall out to the septic system all I did was I took the clean out off the existing clean-out adaptor that was here threaded in a four inch male coupler added a new 4 inch to 2 inch Y and tied off of it and on the end of this I put another clean-out adaptor back on so basically it is exactly how it was when I started but just has the addition of this 2-inch piece of PVC so that's how the waste is going to come out of the pub there's also going to be event that's going to be tied in and I'm going to run that outside either outside or I'm going to try to tie it into the waste stack which is supposedly somewhere in the ceiling here supposedly torn capped off when they built the house so I'm going to hunt around for that alright so about ready to start jackhammering this up now just wanted to give a quick tour before we started and bring you back when the floor is all busted up or ready to start doing the plumbing alright guys and he was the tool of choice from Home Depot a healthy jackhammer this is the biggest one they rent I highly recommend you get this one made easy work of this big was like a 60 or $70 rental for four hours comes on his dolly here with two bits and I'll show a little more detail about this when I get back I want to go return it before I get bang for the full day but here's all the concrete I've busted out it was like a three or four inch slab it wasn't that bad you can see there and I started roughing in some of the pipe but like I said I got to get this back before I get charged for the whole day at a big old pile sand I got the pit in the ground and like I said up give a little more detail this coming up next but here's the gun I rented a jackhammer rather much easy and doing this by hand okay guys before I go ahead and show you the the work I've done so far I just wanted to give you a quick side shot of the excavation that's involved with this project as you see here I got two small piles of sand I'm going to also have a pile of busted up concrete over here so just keep that in mind when you do this project you're probably got to hold some of this stuff away because it's not going to fit all back in the trenches obviously with the piping all right I got most of the I guess today I got all the unifor plumbing roughed in I'll show you that now got the pit here side of the pit has a four-inch piece of PVC stubbed out into it come around the backside here a transition over the three inch PVC with a four to three reducing collar got a three by three by two Y here which elbows up into the wall double sanitary tee right side of this is going to serve the bathroom sink so a p-trap here the left side this reduces down to inch and a half elbows around the wall and it's gonna have another p-trap out there maybe a 5-foot walk-up bar so I'm going to have a sink out there the top part of the the T it's going to be serving the vent for this portion of the system I'll show you the venting in the next segment of this video because I don't have that roughed in yet this is just going to be old the floor plumbing short piece to the 3-inch another 3 by 3 by 2 y 2 inch PVC shoots up here 2 by 2 by 2 y elbows over this is going to be a vent for the shower and it's also going to serve a wet vent for the toilet which I'm going to show you shortly another short piece of 2-inch PVC and we have 2 inch p-trap it's going to serve the shower drain coming back over here off this other Y piece of 3 inch PVC elbow this is where the toilet flange is going to be all right this is spaced twelve and a half inches off the rough framing toilet is always placed 12 inches of the flanges always placed twelve inches from the sheetrock to accommodate for a half-inch of sheetrock mine is actually a little under 13 inches because I accommodated for tile that I'm going to be installing behind the toilet bowl as well side to side I believe code calls for at least 15 inches I have 18 because they centered the flames between the wall and where the bathroom vanity is going to be all right so that's about it for the in for plumbing portion of this as you can see I mainly had sandal underneath here which is good I had about a three inch thick slab I'm going to go ahead and backfill all this was sand I'm going to make sure that oh my my pitching is proper still with this right now I have at least a quarter inch in all spots of pitch down to the pit some spots it's actually more which is okay so just when you're installing this make sure you have your two foot level and your little you know torpedo level with you send you check in the pitch and all the fittings and the straight lines a pipe down to the pit that's real important you can't really adjust the pitch after you get everything all glued together because you your couplers are all angled in the proper directions or whatnot all right I did want to show you guys something because I'm not shy about my mistake so when I make them about admitting them and as you see over here this is basically what's in the floor over there this is my first attempt at installing this this obviously isn't something I do every day and I went online and got a bunch of advice from guys they all told me to mock the entire system up in the floor basically cut it all the pieces of pipe put all the fittings on and don't glue anything yet and then come back after the fact and glue everything and the one piece of advice I want to give you guys is don't do that I had nothing but problems doing that when I started assembling everything or taking it all apart to the glue it nothing was lining up correctly anymore all the you know the the toilet vent and the p-trap for the shower started rotating on me they weren't perpendicular to the floor anymore the the flange was off the floor about it at 15 a 20 degree angle so that wasn't right and after I got everything all glued up I kind of stared at it for about an hour and made the decision to run over to Home Depot and just buy a bunch of new fittings and redo it because this is never going to be like this ever again I'm never gonna have access to this stuff once it's concreted and you know tiles installed in the bathroom the last thing I want to have to worry about is having a problem under here so figured 30 40 bucks extra now just to redo it was well worth it like I said my second attempt at if it was really well instead of mocking it all up I basically installed it in segments so basically what I did was I started here at the pit installed that portion right there glued all that got it perfect then worked my way down I did this section pitched it all cut it our cut it pitched it and glued everything same thing here with the toilet flange made sure is a you know level to the floor to make sure this was pitch brown fully down and made sure that the shower trap was perpendicular and that I had a little bit of a pitch on the vent line here so if any water ever gets in there it runs back down to the main line all right so that's the one little piece of advice I'll give you guys is you know glue it as you're going do not mock the entire system up I had nothing but problems doing it that way right next next segment I'm going to film here I'll show you the venting for this alright guys let me give you a tour now with the venting this is all finished now for this basement bathroom sewage pit two-inch vents that is stubbed down into the tank about three or four inches rises up 45s over to an elbow up there to this 2-inch piece of PVC that is this happens to be drilled to roll the floor joist and I'll get into that in a second I have a sanitary tee here that is the connection for the vents for the bathroom sink and a sink that's going to be on the outside wall here that goes up just a side note this is less than five feet from double sanitary T to the P trap that's going to be out there so there's no need to separately vent that sink this is in code and the two-inch will then both the sinks alright so moving down the line another double sanitary T here no piece of 2-inch PVC that runs in this joist bag elbows down and this is the connection in the floor for the vent for the shower drain all right and that just runs over here again like I said and this connects up behind that joist there to the stub out that the Builder left for me to tie the vent into the rest of the venting for the house upstairs so that's just an elbow on the other side of that and up in the wall there is the connection and I can't really show you on camera I can't get the camera up there but that's how that's done that didn't exist probably what I would have done is just that's the outside wall they're probably just drilled it outside and threw an elbow pointing down to the ground invented it out that way I know that's kind of frowned upon by a lot of people but hey listen sometimes you got to do what you got to do to make things work and I don't really consider that a big issue it's on the side of the house there but it's it's not done that way anyway so I guess it's tied into the house vent I just another couple quick notes it was a two and a half inch hole saw that it used to hog out these holes through these two by eights all right and that's basically it as you can see also concrete it up the floor for anyone that's interested this took six bags of 50-pound concrete mix all right basically what I have is this is about seven or eight inches wide it's about four inches deep and now roughly this is about a five foot on this is about a six foot run and then you have this little section over here that had to do for the ventilate did the trick here and I also had to do a little lip around the pump here to cover that up okay next step I'm going to install the sewage pump you know put the stub out with the pipe a check valve a ball valve now the short section of PVC which will 45 up into the tying I did to the main waste line for the house okay so let me get to that now
