    My pops is a master plumber and contractor out of Arkansas. I been around plumbing my whole life, and he always told me to do a quarter turn every time you glue a fitting on a pipe to push the air out.
  • @winterfar2814
    Great video man. Doing UG plumbing for my basement and this helped me out.
  • Thank you for this! I'm moving over to building from fix and flip. This came right on time.
  • It is always fun to do drain work as well. On my jobs with remodeling, I'd have some kids that would see my tote containers and say it looks like tinkertoys and want to play with all the pieces. Using a chop saw is really nice even on three and four inch schedule 40. Rolling the pipe if it wouldn't cut all the way through works as well. In our area, it's okay to have a clean out extended up after the inspection and the test plug was removed and would be checked on the final inspection. As always each area is different with codes. Using purple primer is liked in our area as well because it shows the fittings were primed too. Nice clean job and the back filling done really well. So important to make sure you fill under the pipes and making them secure and holding the fall as well. Thank you for all the details even with using tapcons to hold your lines. I find it just as easy since I have the tools to do it on hand. Great Job Josh šŸ”ØšŸ‘šŸ»
