I know nothing about plumbing and have no idea why this was recommended. But I watched through and I gave it a like. Because there was no intro, no bs. Just share of knowledge.
As an apprentice plumber in his first year trying to figure this thing out I appreciate the video , it was straight to the point and showed other options on how to vent a toilet .
Hey y’all, 16 and in tradeschool to be a plumber/pipefitter, I took the initiative to look at where everyone else was going and I just went the opposite way. Proud to be learning this intuitive trade. God bless all of you!
Awesome and admirable!
Pipefiter? Your father must be a union guy. Not many people know what a pipefitter is.
On point without rambling. You are a good teacher. Thank you!
Thanks Paul.
Right. No life story. Very well explained.
“Can you explain venting a toilet in 2 minutes or less?”
“Hold my beer...”
Awesome love your clarity and simplicity. Really makes it easier to understand and learn.
Heath, so glad you found it useful!
Sir Dylan, please make more videos like this. It really helps us a lot. Especially me, I'm currently taking Master's Plumber Licensure. There's no other videos that are more clearer than this. Well explained. 💕
From Philippines,
Thank you for the video. I used the information to plumb my brother's bathroom. I made a DIY video and had confidence I was doing it right thanks to you.
This is some agreeable material. It took me some time to finally find this web page but it was worth the time. I noticed this article was buried in yahoo and not the first spot. This web site has a lot of fine stuff and it doesnt deserve to be burried in the searches like that. By the way I am going to add this web publication to my list of favorites.
Short, to the point, easy to understand. Thank you. Thumbs up and subscribed.
These videos are great a year and a half in to plumbing and electrical yesterday have become very handy
Thanks for sharing this beautiful video with Excellent Explanation about Brent toilet systems,I love this.
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for I need all this work done in my house and I think with the clarity of your videos I can do it thanks a bunch!
Great to hear!
@@Hammerpedia how do i vent a toilet if im next to a concrete foundation wall??

Thanks and regards......
I have bee looking for this a long time. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for this. It's good to see a video that's easy to understand and straight to the point.
You bet John!
Simple and concise... good job!
Very nice video. Short and very clear, thank you.

Excellent video. Excellent teacher.
You are very kind. Thanks for watching!
Thanks very much buddy, am grateful to have learned this.
Very informative. Thanks sir!
Great drawings !
Thanks for sharing and I liked the pictures very clear, 👍
Thanks for sharing this informative video~! 😃 Greatly learned!!
Thanks!
I have a situation similar to the layout in the pdf where it has a sanitary tee going down to a wye with a cleanout. I was trying to figure out the best way to do it and this looks like the best solution. I had a more convoluted plan that involved more pipes. This will simplify things for me.
Btw, how do you get the pipes to line up so nicely in sketchup? I have the hardest time getting things to rotate and go where I want them to.
Very clear explanation and nice illustration..it's easy to understand..thank you very much for this video :)
You bet Darlene.
Wall hung, concealed tank toilets are becoming more popular. I am about to install two of them, and need to reconfigure my venting. In the first case the vent stack is currently located in the wall cavity (as per your illustrations) exactly where the toilet tank will need to be mounted, and in the second case I will be creating an entirely new bathroom: toilet, sink and shower. Home is built on a slab, so I will be doing a bit of concrete cutting. I hope you will consider addressing this issue in the future.
This is great. I'm going to have to do a modified version of the 2nd way of venting. Will have to vent the toilet outside an exterior wall (no room in the wall as it's load-bearing & in very old construction) Will vent from under the house & have a cleanout. The trap arm will run south but the main sewer line runs east to west & is about 7' north so I'll have to run trap arm south & then run a line north to connect to main soil pipe. Will have to tie in a washing machine drain downstream for suds prevention.
Do you have any videos or tutorials on washing machine plumbing?
Thanks for the video Sir!
Samul, I'm glad you like it.
These videos are awesome! Do you have a video about roughing in a shower with multiple fixtures?
Hi Dylan... great videos. I'm installing new toilet. redoing my bathroom from the ground up. thanks for your tips. Victor
Thanks Victor!
Thank you 🙏 soooo much . Made it so easy
AMAZING! PLEASE MORE VIDEOS!!!
Nice video !
Thanks!
I luv ur vid, so clear and easy to understand.
Thanks Leny!
Great video and thank you. We recently notice sewer smells from the fan ventilation (ceiling area) in one of the main floor bathrooms. The attic is right above the ceiling with vent pipes. What are the potential causes of the problems? Thank you very much!
So, what kind of glue or sealant do you use for the pvc joints and toilet flange seal, etc.?
Thank you so much! You're a very good teacher!
I subbed lovin this channel
Thank you. At Lowes someone was trying to tell me what I needed but it wasn't as clear as this.
Lowes are not pro and they just want to get you going.
I was told a toilet needed a pea trap. Seriously ! I am remodeling a 2 story . Upstairs and basement half below grade. I am looking at this ceiling wondering how in the hell I'm supposed to do a 3" pea trap in that space! Everything I tried took up too much room and would go below the ceiling sheetrock. I actually saw some other sources saying the same. Everything I already know about plumbing and toilets said a pea trap was not necessary. Only necessry in rough in plumbing on tuns and showers. Glad to find your video so I know I'm not crazy. Got the install done...tied into an existing 2" vent pipe. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Very cool video.
Thanks for this information 👍🇺🇸
Horizontal venting must be approved by the City first in most Cities around Phx Az
Thanks teacher!!
Very useful tips
That was 2 minutes WELL spent. Thankyou!!
Thank you for good advice in plumbing.. Kindly do a video about installing geyser from the start.
Excellent presentation sir, precise and to the point. Thank you for sharing. I have subscribed.
Thank you Egidio
Great video, i was wondering if you made this model in sketchup. If so did you use prebuilt models for the pvc fittings, they look perfect.
If you vent the water closet shown in the first diagram and you have a blockage and run a cable though the double clean outs outside the structure you could bust the water closet. Never dead end into a fixture.
If you're in the IPC you can use an 1.5 toilet vent, in the UPC min vent is 2"
Hammerpdia our plumber placed the bent about 15 feet away from out toilet,is that the reason for it to not flush propetly leaving half the water in the tank?
very helpful
I like your idea
I would be interested in seeing something for this scenario. Two story condo, identical floor plans downstairs and upstairs, two downstairs bathrooms back to back sharing the same waste pipe, and two identical bathrooms directly above for a total of four toilets all sharing the same waste pipe which also seems to function as the vent.
Nice video
Hey Dylan, nice video. I have a scenario similar to your video here, with the vent directly behind the 90 and closet flange. The difference is my wall is on the opposite side of the flange. The flange was roughed in too close to the wall (less than 10") and the toilet was installed on an angle. My goal is to have a 12" rough in. This can be achieved if I take the wye out and move the vent to the opposite side of the flange. BTW, there is another vent downstream a bit from all of this. Would this plan be kosher?
It's before he goes take him over
Toilet will flush all day long 100% perfectly without a vent. The purpose of the vent is to preserve the trap seal.
did you ever do the video that shows the shower and sink vent drains together?
Very fine detail but I have a problem. On the same drawing of your toilet flange, I want to make another toilet flange on the opposite side of the wall because there are going to be two bathrooms back to back. How do I make a proper drain?
Awesome sir, very, very informative!
Question for you, I was taught for the main line to only ever run 4" pipe, pipes going into the main line you can run 3". I've noticed a lot of different contractors around where I live in the last 2 - 3 years only running 3" pipe on the main line, has something changed in the code book? Or, was this ever even code?
I believe it depends which plumbing code your state uses. There is ipc and upc. I believe one of them allows for the use of 3” pipe, and one requires 4” pipe.
And then some states have their own plumbing codes as well.
Thanks.
I think you need to continue with your channel on TH-cam. You could be very successful with it.
good sharing❤❤❤👍👍👍👍
Thanks for video. Have a very old rental house. Septic just outside bathroom window. Toilet does not drain well and gurgles when tenant takes a bath. There is no way I can connect a vent between toilet and septic too short and direct run. Must I add a vent to the sink AND bathtub? and will this help. All three clustered together. There is only one vent in system halfway between kitchen sink and septic. Tenant complaining of septic smell.
I agree with Angus comment below!
Cheers and happy new year!!
use a closet 90 and a 3x2 tee and save some fittings and measuring with the closet flange
Do you know of a suitable vent for toilet,sink and shower that would go through sidewall?
i have metal roof and do not want to go that route
To questions, one do you have a drawing on a washer box and drain (rough)and also a detailed drawing on a Island kitchen sink loop drain/ vent with relief.
Great videos, the best on utube. They refresh my memory and bring me back up to speed.
Thanks
Jarhead, thanks. No island venting diagrams yet. Possibly down the road. Thanks for watching.
Wet venting toilet to laundry drain. 1.5" vent sufficient? Was debating on AAV in box in a sure vent wall box to be behind Dryer (stackable washer dryer setup) adding toilet to make laundry room half bath.
Thank you amigo good good good
I LOVE YOU!!!
What tools do I need for this job? and is this different than fixing a disconnected toilet pipe from the sewer line?
The easiest method depends solely on the building layout, underground vs above, new construction vs remodel etc.
Every one will be different trust me.sometimes you have to be creative.it depends on a lot of variables yea
Just make sure that the shit is flowing downhill
What drawing software did you use?
I have 2x4 walls. Would 1 1/2” pvc be acceptable for vent?
Thx.
awesome
Thanks. I think I'm going to go with the long sweep and have the arm go to a sanitee (that's my shortened version of sanitary tee) and then down to a wye to the main soil pipe. I'm curious about how to tie together the auxiliary vents. Say I want to have the vent for the toilet tie in with the vent to the lav and then both will tie in to the main vent stack. Do you have videos on that setup?
hey my cats. i don't have a video for that but I've got a pic i can email to you. send me a message on the contact form on my website:

So with that vent pipe where it's at, could you also branch off of it for the vanity? Wouldn't that be classified as a wet vent?
Yes
I have a roof vent. After a complete renovation of the bathroom a different plumber told me I needed to vent the sink with an air admittance valve. Can I install the AAV even though I have a roof vent? Will they cancel each other out?
The only reason to use an AAV is if you can't run the vent pipe up through the wall to reach the roof vent. Keep in mind that AAVs are not allowed in some jurisdictions, they can't be put inside of a wall, and they can fail after a few years and need to be replaced. Ideally, the best thing is to vent to the roof.
What happen if I just added a bathroom in basement and cannot get the vents to roof and also no existing vents near by to tie too?

Run a new vent up the wall and tie in horizontally to another vent
Nice and usefull
Great video, thanks. I believe there should be a 1/8ths inch drop per foot for a wc drain. I'm ok with that, but is there a horizontal max distance between the w.c. and the vertical soil pipe? That is, a limit to how far a w.c. can be remote from the soil pipe no matter what the gradient?
Are you asking how far between the flange of the toilet and the centerline of the vent? That would be 6' for 3" and (in the old days) 10' for 4". It's called the trap arm. For a 1 1/2" trap the distance between the weir of the trap and the centerline of the vent is no more than 42". For 2", 5'.
Hi Richard, in the UK we have a 4 inch dia. vertical pipe on the house outside wall that the w.c. drains into. That is how we vent the waste (no other vent pipe). I want to position my w.c. 8 feet from this pipe (the w.c. has been on the other side of the wall close to the drain pipe up till now). I was just concerned an 8 ft long pipe between w.c. & the outside drain pipe may cause a blockage.
You'll be fine. The old rule on the distance between the flange for the toilet and the center line of that vent stack was,and probably still is, 10'. Taking in the fact that toilets used to use enough water to flush a small puppy(sorry. old expression) and now use less than 3 liters per flush, there'll be plenty of air circulating in the upper part of that 4" trap arm. It's a vacuum that nature abhors and really the primary reason for vents. But, please, try and have a fall of 1/4" per foot on that pipe! No less, no more. The hydraulic action of the water in the pipe at that degree of fall keeps the pipe clean. A greater slope and the water runs down the center of the pipe and can leave deposits on the walls. Less slope and if there's any settling of the building over time, you could have a level drain. So... 1/4" per foot!!! 1" every 4' (Okay,okay. You could run at 1/8" per foot in a pinch)
Just what I needed to know. Many thanks.
And by the way. You're allowed a 90 degree offset horizontally. But the total aggregate distance may not be more than 10' between flange and vent centerline
Doing God’s work, my friend. Thank you! 🙏
Thanks Tuan!
Could you use a closet bend? And, can you make a video that shows the shower/tub and sink vent/drains together with the toilet vent/drain?
Josh, yes a closet bend if fine.
Help please . We had installed a new ceiling bathroom fan with a light, he add combo wye to the fan made a hole in to our exiting Vertical vent pipe that goes in to the roof , Is it safe? is there any possibility that air can back up to the fan into our bathroom breathing bad polluted air ? they insure me was ok but i am getting worried . hope you can tell if is ok Thank you
If you are tying the toilet vent together with the tub vent can that be done in the attic?
please do one on laundry room rough in, thanks
Venting off every trap seriously, that went out in the 70's in aus, one vent off the main line and any Branchline off the main line that's over 10mtrs needs a vent
Does the vent stink? When ur changing or replacing vents .. is it gross?
Hi, this clip was easy to follow, nice job. Can I ask you a question? Regarding the vent, you mention that it goes up to the roof. Do some builders use the bathroom floor drain as a vent? Because we have a feces smell coming from the bathroom floor drain! ( note we have our toilet in it’s own separate small room on the second floor. Hopefully you can advice us if it’s normal or what we can do to fix it. Look forward in reading from you. Cheers Lorena
No.
The only ill25
there seems to be a venting pipe that goes out the wall to the outside horizontally, and lately its been occasionally discharging water when i flush.
The discharged water isn't stinky nor fecal matter found anywhere.
I notice this only happens while flushing and the water is struggling to go down the toilet bowl drain.
Should i be concerned?
That is progess. Untill the 70s we used cast iron, lead joints. 1850 and back, a bench with a hole in it overhanging a cliff, no charming TP.
In Chicago we still use cast iron with lead and oakum.
great info and video. i had a extra question is it ok to combine my shower sink and toilet into one vent about 5 ft down stream?
Jeremiah Munoz
Yes but some codes don’t allow for the toilet to be up stream from other fixtures if you are using the same vent.
Also remember all vents must be at or above 45deg vertical until they are 6” above the flood rim of the highest fixture they serve (flood rim is the highest point that water will overflow)
Thank you. i got the 45deg down for sure. im building 10 miles out from a where the code guy stops by so i think im ok lol
I love you Dylan
1:50 of the video shows an illegal vent
911.3 Connection at Different Levels
Where the fixture drains connect at different levels, the vent shall connect as a vertical extension of the vertical drain. The vertical drain pipe connecting the two fixture drains shall be considered to be the vent for the lower fixture drain, and shall be sized in accordance with Table 911.3. The upper fixture shall not be a water closet.
How would a 2 family look for plumbing? How would the vents work
But some big internet community says that toilet doesn't need a vent. What should I choose
Could you help me out with this questions? I'm installing a geberit wall carrier and need to add a vent. I'm using an existing 3 inch vent pipe in the wall that will be used for the toilet drainage. I wanted to know, can use a Long-Turn Tee Wye and place it vertically right below the drainage of the wall mounted toilet. Is a Long-Turn Tee Wye aceptable or does it need to be a DWV All Hub Wye?
