Check valve might have prevented a backflow from the sanitary line into the basement. Since that looked to be the lowest and closest to the street, that backflow/one way/check valve IMO as there for a purpose. Might want to reinstall something to prevent a backflow from the sanitary...
Good thing that the riser for the washer is higher then the cities manhole.
Looks like something did flow back!
but a check valve would stop the upstairs drains from pouring into the basement through that new drain if the line becomes plugged outside the house. Check valve is just great insurance in the basement...
that brass swing check valve is for pressurized potable water.The brass gate inside is too heavy for gravity flow...even if it wasn't stuck. Just put a 3 or 4 inch back-flow preventer on the whole house if ya think ya need to....in 10 years you'll be dig'n it up to remove the stuck gate.
Just got a new washer and dryer and got almost this exact same models. Wife wanted something with knobs, not all that fancy stuff. They work great but they sure like to sit there for a second and think about things.
That washer is pumping along way there ,next level!
Great job Steve perfect situation....nothing in your way, no garbage or mice and certainly no helicopter
Nice work, I really enjoyed it :)
The extra hight drain line may result in slow drainage rate and possibly flow back of the grey water trapped into the line back in the washer drum.
Ok
Why not a frost free hose bib for outside? Nice work with the pex
I was wondering the same thing???
God damn steve, sounded like you enjoyed giving that old cast iron pipe the gundy, nxt lvl
Nice job steve.
Check valves are not allowed on DWV in my area but you must install a backwater valve on any underground installation. That way you don’t have to go as high on the riser .
I was dying when you laughed pushing the broom through lmaoo
Maybe throw a clamp or two on to secure the pvc drain to the wall?
m ph what for? Not that heavy...
Nice job. I wish you could come to my place to install a washer hook up. I need a line to the main pipe outside for drainage and a line inside for water.
Ha ha ha, giggling like a school boy when you were using the broom.
Vent seem to be too low, all it will take a couple of snow storms to shut it close, what's the minimum required in your state?
That outside silcock would freeze solid here in the Midwest. Frost free only, by code.
I pissed my pants on this one Steven when you picked up his broom.
That little pup is so cute
In our village we can't use BX or Romex in our basement anymore, it's all got to be in conduit
Where did you get the hose that you are using for the drainage?
7/8 black rubber hose ==washer machine hose
Come hell or high water Steve Lav is (always) working again.
Your an awesome plumber Steve. I enjoy all of your videos. Make some more boiler repair videos.
Why does the PVC pipe for washer drain have to be so high?
@@wysetech2000
Maybe, but it is a improper install. The washer drain should not be that high. The pumps are not designed for that height. They should not exceed the height of the control panel. So now when the unit plugs constantly with lint and or pump failure happens the owners will blame Whirlpool corp, (which makes Maytag) now for the fault when it was improperly installed to begin with. Same goes for the dryer. When it fills with lint it will fry the thermal fuse in the blower housing. If the customer wanted this where it is I would not do this job. F!#@ him. Maybe Steve does not know this , and it is hard to know it all.
The only problem is the dryer should be on the right side and the washer on the left. The dryer's door is now in your way when switching clothes.
Broom Hilda giving that drain the ole Gundy ... Lol ... If you ain't nothing else , by golly your entertaining ...That was a nice looking install , good vid Stevie Boy ...
Seems like a good application for a pump up sink. Also looks like they have gas service, why in the world would someone with gas service use an electric dryer and an oil burner?
Good job Steve !
I was so confused, first I see Pex tubing, then a flex dryer duct, and then a broom... figured Steve woulda ran copper down, and some rigid piping.. the flex stuff is ok, (at least its not the ol pvc crap) but I would have probably considered running the pipe a foot or two higher in case of snow.. though I guess if its an electric dryer who cares...
Nice job.
Where did get the 7/8 hose?
you shouldnt use rubber hoses for drains on dishwashers or washing machines. they kink after a while. they make them out of corrugated plastic now for a reason. if you must use a rubber hose. put a gooseneck on it. cheers steve
Give it the old broom action mama!
Thank you for all the videos, I have learned a lot from them.
Is not to much for the washer pump to rise the water that far up?
It's funny I'm self-taught and I do that exact same job all the time just like you. I just started using the pex about a year ago
9 mama's boys thumbed this video down because they have broom handle flashbacks from their past. Thanks Steven!
Putting alot of faith in the cheap made pump in the washer. Depending on use, 2 maybe 3 years of good operation.
Discharge on the washer way too high the PCV pipe could’ve been cut in half. Seen many of those installations but never that high it’s almost at the ceiling.
I always thought the drain shouldn't be higher than the top of the washer.
grny28
This is true. No higher than the control panel. Whirlpool will not cover pump failure for this Maytag with the drain that high when it fails. It also can plug up with lint and pump real slow this way as well. The dryer vent should not be that high either. The dryer thermal fuse will fail in the blower when the pipe gets full of lint. The lint filter does not stop all of it.
Why did you decide to switch from copper piping to pex tubing - cheaper, less work, faster?
Hey I found your channel, what part of New York you from? That was pretty wild with the water coming out! Wow! 😆 "I love when he said, put a Jed clampett on it". Lol... Classic!
Steve's from Massachusetts
I would put a in use outdoor cove over that receptacle for the next time the drain backs up.
Good point, and placing that outlet so close to drain line was bad decision in the first place. The owner should have an electrician move it away from that spot.
clean out for the 2” pvc washer drain or isnt it required? nice clean install.
clean out ??? unhook the clamp and snake it .
oh yeah, what am i thinking? thats why you are the plumber!
Why not use a frost free outside faucet?
nice job steve...arent check valves in DWV system not allowed anymore??
THE DRAIN PIPE IS TOO HIGH
Yeah, no shet! Cut it down lower!
actually, it can be up to 8ft high for most modern clothes washers.
Hi Steve, great information Thanks
This video was very helpful for me. I had a similar setup. Thank you.
Steven's laughing / giggling is so cool =)
What kind of torch do you use?
What’s going on,you giving in with the pex! Lol
The broom handle had me laughing..nice job
I dont kown where he connected the waste water to from the dryer
That drain hoses is not supposed to be that high up
Ain't no Taj Mahal, Steve Lav...
Stevie why did you install the indirect drain so high?
It doesn't matter, if you put it lower than the tank the water will not be able to come out and will return to the tank.
Good win with the broom lol!!!!
I like those sillcock valves
Nice that you use the Oetiker style cinch clamps instead of the crimp rings. I like the clamps better also. Easier to get into spaces where you don't have access the whole way around the fitting, can be removed without destroying the fitting, and I just trust the design more personally.
Hi steve hello from London England 🏴, the vertical white waste pipe needs to be clipped to the wall to support the weight of the black hose & a new non return waste valve should have been re installed to stop back flow from horizontal cast iron drainage .
Great point on the back flow part.
Ms. Molly has settled in nicely... Looking stylish in her Spring Outfits.
smart move with the pull tie
Wish that outlet was a little farther away from all the water valves and drain, but I guess you gotta do what you have to sometimes.
Give it the ole Jed Clampett ya’ll.
At least this basement had good lighting. Yesterday's was a dungeon.
Sometime when the shit hits the fan all you can do is laugh!
Flex for dryer vent
And that’s why you always double check your work..............
Good job
good editing at 0:45 looks like a single shot...
I had the same thought. Perfect continuity there though not intended. In editing, like in life, sometimes you get lucky :-)
You didn't need to hook up a gas line for the dryer?
its electric
🙃
Hi Steve, that long riser is not needed, a 24-30" length piece would have sufficed. Also less wear and tear on the washer pump down the road. Still a good job all and all!
I don’t think it’s code the way it is.
You maybe right, 2" trap and drain is code in other areas.
Lead trap?
Why so high all u need is 45'' from floor to top that's all .
very very good of job
Why is riser so tall
its not over till its over!!!
The ole broom snake..... Shit show. Lol
for the drain plumbing code in canada:
6''-18'' p trape
18''-30'' stand pipe
if so high : you have to install another drain pump with flow control valve / one way valve
How much for that dog...?
dog is not forsale
Drain hose is to high has to be no more than 96" high.
Steve that homeowner just open a can of problems those washers suck they always have problems. Peace brother and Molly
@@wysetech2000 believe this or not I have a older Kenmore from Sears upright washer top loader which is a whirlpool it's the 80 series I bought it in the mid-to-late 90s. They are very easy to work on. I had to replace the capacitor twice and the lid switch once and I had to change the dog ear gears in the agitator but other than that it's been pretty good to me. Those were very minor repairs
If I ever have to replace this washer I'm going to try to get the same type. I know they still make them. Peace brother
@@jeffcoolhd
I got the 90 Series Kenmore made by Whirlpool. Do you have the wigwag transmission or the one that is direct drive? Mine is a 1984. I replaced the motor and cap last year. Replaced the timer twice. Replaced the water pump twice. Replaced the lint filter twice. The water tub was leaking due to rust. I scraped it and put a whole tube of silicone on it spread it out all is good. Shes taken a beating over the years but still looks new. My parents bought the set new and I'm good at keeping it running. The new stuff is cheaper built. However I still stand behind Whirlpool stuff. I have the gold series dishwasher its 6 years old haven't done nothing to it and it runs almost daily here...lol.
@@NY411Info it is funny that you said something about the pump I'm thinking that's going to be the next thing I will have to replace or maybe the timer but I love this whirlpool very simple to work on. About a month ago I took the agitator and drum out of it and cleaned the outside of the drum and the inside of the tub. You would be surprised with all the build-up inside there it's like I have a brand new washer now. And the whole machine looks brand new. Peace brother
@@NY411Info I'm pretty sure mine is the direct drive unit. It has the motor connected to the transmission with a shaft there is no belts
Hey Steve??
Broom handle in the pipe
1 supertech wanted you to use bread.
kdmq No just pro press.
Jed Clampett 😂
What if the sewer line clogs past the washer drain and a toilet is flushed up stares. That would be a real shit show.
Font loaders always has a checkvalves to prevent that from happening, but then again, they are always hooked up onto solid pipe with hose clamps, not just inserted into a wider open stack pipe. It is pointless this way. Don't know about top loaders if they have integrated check valve or not.
but the dryer goes on the right...
lmao Dryer is on left side in my place and always has been.
@@killerdeamonking I'm sure they are - in hell
@@amesavis nahh they work perfect, the door on the dryer was set to work on the left side anyways. Funny thing is the dryer and washer both have water lines on them lol something we arent used to seeing.
I can just see all of the trolls having the shakes because Steve's actually use pex today
I don't know Steve, looks like that check valve is needed there dude.. But then again a professional knows the best, so I'm not top argue with you. I also hate hate hate when other people tell me how to do my job so sorry for that, cheers dude, nice work! and as always, shes a leaka mama XD
Come on Steve, get with times. Use pex A.
some measurements would of been nice.
19:51 hahaha!!!!!
Always gotta be some haters clicking thumbs down!
That black hose from the washing machine to the Stand pipe is the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen.
That drain pipe is way too high anyway. I've had to replace the pump due to improper installation. The pump they use on most newer washers is just a small electric thing, better suited for an aquarium than a washer.
20:00 sigh, I should call her 😢
Why did put discharged line all way top of crafter that was dum
19:57 LOL!
I hate when she friggin steams out on ya. Can make a good day of soldering, go bad real quick...
this is a story bout a man named Jed..........
That was machine is the worst one that Maytag made
"that ain't so good" lol
