I really like the way you take your time and explain things thoroughly. This was a really helpful video. Thank you so much for sharing
Please where is the next video
The video where the toilet vent was connected under the subfloor
Thank you
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
Didn't you say 34" shower?

I've only watched a few of your videos so far, but I am so glad I came across your channel. My oldest son and I are trying to finish out the interior of our tiny cabin and need guidance! Your videos explain everything so we'll and they are appreciated.
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.
You are right, it's always easier to grasp something when you have prior knowledge or understand the process a little
If you plan on using a trim kit on the toilet supply please keep it higher than 6".
Thanks,

You absolutely do the best job of anyone out there of explaining what you're doing step-by-step. Incredible how much I learn from your vids ! Thank you ! !
Thank you so much! I’m glad I can help you with this tutorial. Good luck with your project!
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
Same boat, good luck fellow old lady! 😊
The first step is research
Finally a well done, simple, easy to understand ,video without some annoying soundtrack blasting in the background, thank you!
One of the very best How To videos I've ever seen. Thanks for putting it up. Will be doing a bathroom soon and your instructions here will be invaluable.
I like that you say why youre doing something or what something does helps me remeber and understand thanks Pal ... Youre a good teacher
very thorough explanation of procedures.. this video gave me, a DIY'er, the confidence to tackle a bathroom addition on my own. THANKS!
By far the best video I’ve watched on the topic! Not only are You a master of your craft, but you are also a great teacher. Thank you! 👍🏼👍🏼
It’s one thing to know what you’re doing but to explain it and teach the way you do. A lot of tradesmen could learn a lot on how to train their helpers. Thanks man! I’ve learned a lot!
Thank you for making this very informative video! I will definitely be watching it a few more time before and during my cabin install.
TEL-You are a Great Teacher.
Thanks for taking your time to teach us how to do it.
I really like watching your videos explaining everything in detail helping me decide to renovate my bathrooms God bless you.
Thanks a lot for producing such a simple and very explainable video. Well done 👏🏾👍🏾
I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and in particular providing information regarding distance between the various hole spacing. Thank Bud!
This is my GO TO video for roughing out a bathroom!! Thanks simple, no loud music and to the point
Thanks for pulling all the spec you need for a project. Saved me from not having to look at so many video.
Great video! For those who are laying out its always a good idea to send a screw into the floor either on drill point or right beside it to ensure there's nothing structural in the way
Hey Jesse! I appreciate you commenting on my video. Stay tuned for more!
@@TheExcellentLaborer how do u vent the pipe thru the roof, u have video on that? also can you show how u connected pipes under the house??
@@TheExcellentLaborer you can have the vent horizontal running toward toilet vent? Whee about shower vent?
Very good explanation of the process.
Thank you Josh. Of all the video on TH-cam I’ve watched none ever mention how far the bath tub drain should be from the wall? Either side of the tub, whether perpendicular or parallel to the wall. Thank you so much!
I’m glad I could be helpful. I try to make my videos thorough. Good luck on your project!
outstanding video!
we are currently remodeling a cottage on the property, with some substantial relocations. This info will come in handy for sure!
Awesome! No annoying background music!
Thank you for all the awesome information on plumbing this bathroom.
Very good instruction I enjoy watching and learn from it
Really helpful, thank you. I imagine this is significantly more difficult in a home that’s already built, instead of a new construction. Im trying to figure out how to convert an existing closet into a bathroom. :)
You are welcome. Yes new construction is easier than remodeling. Thanks for watching!
You just gotta take down some Seetrock it aint that much harder.
Except when you're dealing with a concrete slab below. @@mordystrum
You are so talented. I enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the good work.
It's a completely different game under the house crawling with all material and tools plus running and connecting all the drains and proper fall etc
The rules definitely change 😂😂 lol
This was so super helpful.
My husband and I are building a house(he’s a plumber) and I want to educate myself so I can be as helpful as possible!
Thank you for posting!
Ur a great wife
Ditto. How’s it going?
Great video. For those looking to DIY, be sure to buy purple primer and not the clear stuff. That is how the inspector knows the pipes were primed.
Thank you! That is correct. Inspectors look for the purple primer. Thanks for watching!
WE SHOW YOU SOME TRICKS ON OUR CHANNEL TOO!
Or pay off inspector a little better...
Josh thanks for share this is a lot of helpful for us ❤ I see some time they don't know how you show up this way for me fast and easy way I need to be
Saludos Josh gracias x compartir exelentes videos muchos calurosos abrazos a la familia bendiciones desde indianapolis Indiana 🇬🇹
Hey Jonathan! Thanks for watching. Indiana is a nice place. Stay tuned!!
Very informative thanks great work now I know what I need to do Respect! From Texas!
VERY helpful.................building a tiny home here on the Big Island of Hawaii.
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
Makes sense to me… good tip
This guy has a lot to learn please read my comment what i have tolled him?
That makes sense because I was confused when he said dry fit it but he applied the primer. For sure will remember this thx bro. 🙏
@@tonyantonov947 *told him. You have some things to learn as well.
Oatey says you have to glue the primer within 5 minutes, it's still "wet" that long they say but I wouldn't let it go that long or anywhere near it.
You are just wonderful! I have learned so much and saved so much money just by watching you. ❤❤❤
Thanks for letting me know. I’m glad I can help you out! Good luck with the rest of your projects!
JUST AMAZING VIDEO, IT'LL HELP ME FEED MY FAMILY!
Thank you really I always learning something from you , 👍
Amazing video😄thanks really helped👍🏻
This was such an awesome video thank you for taking the time to make this for us
No problem Austin!
Thank you for you time for showing plumbing ideas
You are very welcome!
Sir you really have developed a lot of knowledge and skills! Much respect! your videos are excellent!
Thank you so much! Stay tuned for more!
Not all his knowledge is up to code. Read Oatey's instructions on using primer and glue. "Dry fitting" should be done dry, BEFORE applying primer!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have a lot to learn! I'm gonna leave it at that
Very good explanation how to installation of the sewer pipe.
I adjust both water line holes if I have to adjust one (because of a joist or stud being in the way) so they look even after the trim out.
I really appreciate your tutorials. Very precise and informative 👌👍👏😀
Although not always correct!! Read Oatey's instructions on using PVC primer and glue rather than following this guy's example. He does it very wrong!!! "dry fitting" should be done BEFORE applying primer, and glue MUST be applied in under 5 minutes after primer application.
LADWY...sure wish I would have found this video before I drilled a whole bunch of holes 😞. Best video I have found so far! Thank you.
Knowing is half the battle. I remember when I first learned how to lay out a bathroom, I was thankful for a good teacher I had. Best of luck with your bathroom. Just a tip, if you save the cut out pieces subfloor you can patch the floor pretty easy. Good luck!
Thanks!
Great video, I live in San Francisco in an old building and it's about to have most of it's plumbing replaced. PVC seems to be the way to go for outflow./drainage
Such a great, clear presentation
Thank you Marc! I hope it is helpful for you. Take care!
Thank you very much. Very informative.
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?
Thank you. Loved the video. Refacing a 1963 Rambler. If you have any renovation videos send my way please.
Great vid Josh! It's great you are including the white board .. it's a super effective educational tool. You made a complicated process more understandable for your subscribers. Doing great on these vids!!!!
Hey Thor! I was wondering what people thought of the white board. I have done a few videos with it and seems like most like it. As always, thanks for the great feedback. Hope all is well with you!
@@TheExcellentLaborer it's def a good visual tool and helps explain simply what they are about to see what you are doing on the job site. Doing ok and ty! need some cement guys and some opinions on some headers in this old 1911 building. almost all the plaster and lathe and knob and tubing removed with new wire running. thank you for interacting with your subscribers!
@@T.E.P. Remodels can be a lot of work and a pain. The historical value is priceless though. I love interacting with my subscribers!
Only he needs to check his spelling. He misspelled "toilet" (0:30) for Christ's sake!!!
@@svenulfskjaldbjorn5401 ,since you're so critical of his initiative, why don't you post your own videos and showcase your expertise?
* Primadonnas don't seem to understand the value of positive collaboration. As far as I can conclude from all your negative comments you are the Chief Primadonna. What a pity !
Great work. Thank you so much for sharing.
Id rather see the vanity supply going through the wall , it makes installing or replacing the vanity much easier and also stays out of the way of the flooring.
Yeah I thought that was strange too. You only see that in really old buildings.
Damn Josh, you do everything!
Well Done!
Thank you, very nice vedio with nice illustration.
Very good clear information
Really really great videos! Thanks!
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.
Good job I am from Jamaica
Thank you from the USA!
Great job brother I like that
Thank's my friend, very instructive your video....!
Good video I like how you actually laid out the dimensions of a small bathroom and show where everything is going. I would just show also how the vent pipes was connected underneath and ran to the top rooftop that is. Other than that good video do some more videos like this with different small type bathrooms were you have to rearrange the toilet shower tub sink etc to fit
Exelent video.
Thankyou I appreciate your time, skill and pointers (tips) you break it down to make it easier for beginners cheers
No problem! Thanks for watching Paul!
I have used a jig saw to cut the hole in the floor. Takes some time, but it worked.
Very nice and informative video you shared my new friend 🤝 thanks for sharing and stay intouch 🤝👍
Great information.... great presentation.
six month apprentice here. just coming on a late Friday night to watch the basic stuff I usually do
Good video, I used to be a plumber as well. I like that you are using squares especially. I would say for the lav. rough in, I would have kept the water lines inside the wall, and also I wouldn't have primed the tee in the middle before dry-fitting. We would just leave that loose in the rough in stage and then when installing the trim we would glue it with a box or rag to catch extra glue. I'm not sure what you said about the closet flange knockout? It looks plastic and I never used that style, did you say to let that go into the sewer or septic after knocking it out?
Thanks!
Very well done. Excellent video!
I appreciate that!
Fyi if your vanity has drawers which are usually on the right its good to off center everything to the left 3-4”
Good choice on sub flooring.
Very informative. Thanks a lot
I’m glad I can help you! Thank you!
REALLY NICE WORK MAN 👌🏿
Thank you!
I am currently taking a plumbing class
Your videos are GREAT!! You make everything look so easy!! Thank you!!
Do you have a video on how to run drain lines?
Thanks again!
Thanks a lot. I don’t have a drain line video yet but I will in the future. Stay tuned!
@@TheExcellentLaborer Can't wait to see the drain line video! That's were we are on our addition. We are building an addition to our home and your videos have been amazingly helpful.
Thank you sir, excellent video! Jessy Smit
Great idea for toilet flange.
Thank you!
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.
I would like the holes for the sink water lines also on the wall ….. more clean …. And no need to cut the vanity…(specially an expensive one). Good video. Thank you
Spot on demo vid... excellent presentation...
I appreciate that. Thanks for watching!
You are an exelent teacher.
Walter
I appreciate that Walter. Take care!
Hahahaha! If that misspelling of “excellent” is on purpose to critique his misspelling of “toilet”, you are my hero.
