You should really stop using handyman as an Insult. I know who your referencing, although alot of us do our own repairs and do our best to do the research and do it right. That's why it's nice to have content creators like you on TH-cam. No right minded person would have installed that sink that way. You know what, I would put alot of money on that person being a government contractor or something along those lines. You said it yourself you can unclog your own pipes most of the times. So why Insult the people who have no problem doing it themselves. Myself and others are capabale of saying that's out of my skill set and then call a professional. It's just like a car "technician" fancy word for dude who is entitled and feels he can do every job better then the average car guy. No I'm not paying you 600 dollars to install a starter 🤣 the professional people are so funny sometimes rest assured you paid me hundreds of dollars an hour the job was done right pffft no it almost never is. Obviously plumbing wise you know what your doing. Although most do not, if you can learn to do something right on your own do it makes you a better man.
Lmao i was watching the video and thought to myself "i bet the first comment i see is going to be about that leek joke going right over his head" and here we are.🤣🤣😂
I love how Roger's so into plumbing that he misses te leek -> leak pun and still comments on the instalation. This is the plumber we need, a man of focus and commitment to the craft.

I’m an industrial electricain. It is a 6 figure a year job. We have had openings for 3 years because we can not find qualified people to fill them. Most of the college grads I work with make half as much money as I do, then they come pay me to do work at their house because they don’t have a clue where to even start. I’m glad I’m in the trades. On top of that, stress isn’t a thing at my job. I go to work, do my job, then go home. I don’t worry about reports or presentations. I don’t have to fill out excel spreadsheets that no one cares about. I haven’t had one stressful day since I started in the trades. I used to have an office job, I was a division manager at a large company. It was nothing but stress. Another perk of being in a trade.
Roger the veg under the sink in the Photo is a Leak, not an onion and btw that not a P trap its a U-bend I can't say for sure but the Leak joke is a British thing
I have installed a lot of glass pipe in medical facilities back in the 90's. After you make the cut you have to sand it smooth, very sharp. We made connections with fernco type bands and the fittings have beads on them.
"It'll only take 5 minutes." Says everyone in my family when they want me to help them with their project. 1 hour later, we are still on the job and not even halfway done.
That's what I told my dad when he helped me change the head gasket on my 1983 Jeep. I actually planned on a week and we also did a valve job, piston rings and a bunch of other stuff since we had the engine apart anyway.
I understand plumbing. I was an apprentice. I've had to do enough plumbing jobs for my own home. And after all these decades, the moment there's a plumbing problem I'm instantly reminded why I chose another profession. My hats off to the actual plumbers who love what they do, but it's not for me.
I am am master plumber in Montana. Dealing with individuals in their homes is why I spent my career on the road running larger commercial projects. I’d have went insane having to work in people’s homes... You have all my respect sir.

A few months ago my daughter played the leek prank on me. "Daddy there's a really bad leak in the bathroom", I muttered some profanity to myself and went to look at the issue and there it was a leek sitting on the toilet seat. Caught hook line a sinker 😂🤣😂
There’s something about the fact that you didnt get the “giant leek” joke that makes me enjoy you as a presenter even more lmao. Love your vids so much.
Glass drain are uses in laboratory where they use acid solution. The waste are directed in a tank where is neutralised. Thats what we used when i worked at university lab
Glass pipe is code to run acid. We use it at a laboratory I have worked at. When you walk through the chase you are very careful not to disturb it because I’d you do it has the potential to chemical burn you very bad.
A welding instructor from my pipe fitting class told me they use glass in hospitals. It’s so you can see a clog in the pipe. To prevent exposure to infectious disease.
ive seen glass plumbing only once, in my highscool lab prep room where i did some work experience, if i remember correctly its because the various acidic and basic solutions that got cleaned out of the glass beakers and stuff would eat through pvc eventually
There's a very good reason why the glass/clear piping is used. It is incredibly useful to be able to keep an eye on the fluids and such being suctioned off during surgery. Colour, texture, volume all important. Imagine an abdominal surgery where surgeons are working on the liver and somehow, unbeknownst to them, they nicked the gallbladder and you have a nice, diligent assistant constantly suctioning the blood and fluids in the cavity so nobody sees the bile right away. The moment staff see an unexpected colour in the tubing/reservoir, they know something is wrong. Clear tubing can save lives.
I just left a comment on your snake video, anywho, that first clip you showed with the roots being pulled out is crazy. Again I work on a golf course and drainage is a huge issue. (Nobody wants to walk through 6 inches of water in the fairway) one of the drains running under our first fairway got clogged with roots in the same way. But this was probably an 8” diameter pipe. It was huge.
My GF did the same thing to me Roger lol! She sent me a photo of a leak (green onion) in her sink asking for Plumbing help because he sink had a leak! It flew right over my head and I instantly tried to diagnose a pun.
Glass pipe was used a lot in chemistry labs I did work for a catholic high school that was built in the 70's that had this and was piped to a holding tank to be diluted and then flushed to the city sewer... crazy set up.
I've installed glass pipe at a university near me, they wanted it used for corrosives. It all went to a dilution tank, and then a company would come and pump it out every week.
hahaha the 5:40 one, that's the UK Plumbing and everything has a U bend on it to create a water gap from the air in the sewage system, we get loads of different types, but his Nasty Leek is the vegetable it's called a Leek (pronounced the same as a leak) in the UK it's like a fat spring onion.
There’s a beach club by me that has glass pipes at the ends of their beer taps. I’m pretty sure it’s just the ends, like 7 inches of glass pipe from the spout to the pint glass for sanitation reasons.
In engineering, one of the best rules is that you shouldn't hope to fix something, you should prevent it breaking in the first place. And indoor plumbing does exactly that. Rather than going to the hospital with diseases contracted from infected water, plumbers allow us to just not contract anything to start with. Obviously there are more ways to contract disease that plumbers cant really help with, but clean drinking water and removal of waste is the first required step for a healthy society
the 1st had that at my home when i was kid saw the plumber (uncle he specializes in skyscrapers) try pull it out, the roots destroyed the piped for about 9m/30feet long and it wasnt able to be pulled out so we replaced the whole pipe. the pipe literally had holes in it from the roots trying to tunnel their way out of it.
At work doing measure downs on manholes at the cancer ward. Opened the wrong hole and found another cover about 2 foot down, opened that. There was white walls a glass pipe coming in 3/4 of the way down and a black liquid in the bottom. It was some kind of acid ceramic walls and a black glass pipe. Used to dispose of body parts full of cancer...
I dont know I could argue my previous employment also saves the modern society from disease. I worked at a water treatment facility that turned waste water of both sewage and rain water into potable water.
3:45 so, what is it with faucets that swing out over the edge of the sink? If you turn it on, it floods the kitchen. I have even seen this problem in public restrooms. Once one got flooded because some idiot left the tap on while it was hanging next to the sink.
glass pipe is a misnomer, he is making vacuum tubes, and from the size, I would expect nixie tubes specifically, you cut them from the inside so that they don't shatter
the glass pipe was probably for running chemicals in a lab if I had to guess but I don't know for sure. certain acids can eat copper and organic solvents eat plastics so if you had a suspicion that both would be put in the pipes it could be a good choice.
I had a service call where the customer dropped his dentures in the toilet and they got flushed down. I lifted the toilet and found half of the dentures barely clinging to the toilet flange, and the other half was in the house trap. He didn't want to spend $1500 on new teeth he said, so he called us. I would have bought new teeth.
You should go on r/osha and react to more posts, hopefully make longer videos I enjoy your stuff Ps. The green onion thing is also called a leak that was the joke lol

I took that picture. I should have water marked it before posting on fb. They were positioned exactly like that when I flipped the toilet.
