I’m a second year apprentice. I was starting to feel VERY LOST. I have a horrible instructor who speed reads code at us in a monotone voice and expects us to know the whole code without going over definitions or focusing on any subject for more than 2 minutes at a time. These videos help me understand code so much more. These videos are the difference between me failing my exams and becoming a great plumber! THANK YOU FOR BEING A GREAT TEACHER.
I hope what they say is true. "Third time is a charm". This will be my third time watching this 12 chapter series as it has been invaluable to me for my c-36 exam prep. At first I used to tell myself, if they ask me questions of DFU's or WSFU from the chart (with out giving it you) I was screwed. But then, Look at it, its the best way to check other's people work and help you decide if the branch or system and handle another fixture. A bit of practice and some help from a personal mnemonic tricks I used, I able to recall vertical, horizontal, vent, trap arms & WSFU values, as it made more sense the more I looked/used it. I don't think I wouldn't even try to read the code book more than twice with these videos, now I'm amped up.
If I were to give you advice on succeeding on the upcoming exam, I think it would be something you already possess. A thirst to do great. Once you have that need to know more, the information seems to soak into the grey matter with ease. I'm so very blessed that these videos were of help to you getting that drive!!! Email me at gorhambm@outlook.com please, I'd like to correspond further with you on your exam preparations.
I understand from a cost standpoint, but just piping a separate trap under the sink drain with stacked santee's, and dumping the dishwasher discharge in its own standpipe just seems the ideal setup; not impeding on the sinks drain rate in the event you are running both your sink disposal side, and dishwasher simultaneously. Why isnt that just the code? Thank you for the lesson, I really appreciate it. And that's a hehe. The dreaded cruise control behind the wall fixture supply piping. Been there. Gotta love them 10p.m days. I really did a number running some in series high temp baseboard; i dont even remember how I messed it up, but I remember that I did. I think I completely missed some rooms with limited materials, and it was in a absolute less than desirable dirt crawlspace on a mountain. "You still at the job??" Yeah, but I'm off the clock..
To expand a bit on Ryan's statement of a back up, the dishwasher is not allowed to be directly connected to a trap under the sink. It has to be an indirect connection. So, tying it to its own trap- if I'm reading it right- will only create some serious issues down the line.
"Take a picture of the attraction and I thought they were talking about me but they were actually talking about the urinal" I laughed my ass off to this! 😂thank you for the great content!
I have a question, about auto vent for under cabinets on new construction. I was told that new plumbing code allows the plumber to Instill a auto vent in place so a vent thur wall is not required if that method is installed, .. is that true?
Short answer is if your municipality allows it, yes. In my opinion I think those are not ideal. The fact that it is a diaphragm and operates on a concept of opening a rubber seal through negative pressure and closing it on positive means that if there is ever a situation where a back up occurs and you have it installed under flood level rim, that "mechanically operated" AAV could foul up- causing sewer gas intrusion. Also, an AAV where I work is only allowed in cases where structural conditions prohibit the installation of a conventional vent.
You are now my favorite! I love math but have not done a math specific lecture on here because it was always done via Zoom in my class and uploaded only for the class. What do you wish to see?
@@capoconstruction1961 Up until a year ago, I was in San Diego. I can help you out with your studies. Are you in the union, PHCC, or ABC? Or are you in a different program? If you'd rather email me at gorhambm@outlook.com to discuss, that'd be fine.

Yeah, but I'm off the clock..
What area do you work? Many codes vary from state to state.
That was in western Colorado.
I think I used the knockout once, on a disposal? Everything else wanted its own trap.
I recently moved from upc country to IPC. Huge differences that I am looking to describe in upcoming videos.
Its not bro. High chance of a backup causing damage to the floor/subfloor/cabinetry over a much wider area

*sinks head* "I have a lot or work to do tomorrow" 😆
True story.
"Take a picture of the attraction and I thought they were talking about me but they were actually talking about the urinal" I laughed my ass off to this! 😂thank you for the great content!
Also at 54 minutes "oh gosh no" I love your videos. always making me laugh 😂😂
I had to look that one up! Sometimes my sketches have a mind of their own...
Funny enough I saw a house on Zillow that had a urinal.
There weren't and other pictures of bathrooms. Just the urinal.
A man cave dream
Great Stuff!
Thanks!

Do you have a video on how to solve math questions for plumbing test? Thank you for all the videos

Awesome, thanks Ben
I'm glad you are enjoying the videos and the class!
I want to attend zoom meeting on UPC. Taking P-1
I am planning on getting some Zoom classes going. What area are you in?
@@BGsPlumbingClass LA
@@capoconstruction1961 Is that Los Angeles, or Louisiana? Just want to be sure geographically.
From LA. CA. THANKS
