These are plumbing tips you get from a carpenter

I've got a bathroom remodel tip:
If you haven't rocked yet, and know where towel rods, hooks and tp holder is going to go, put some wood in there. You'll have something to screw to.

Don't add extra stuff in your house on the hypothetical chance you might remodel in the future it probably won't even be you. Someone wants to remodel 20 years in the future just add a shut off in the basement it'll take all of 20 minutes...

On the stub out above the base boards, remember that an escutcheon plate will also be installed to make the hole through the drywall look nicer; so the height above the base boards needs to also account for the size of that escutcheon plate.

Toilet supply, 8” to the left, 8” up, works for me every time.

Good knowledge. But illegal plumbing at the manifold. You should have longer pieces of pipe in between fittings per manufacture specs. Also, depending on location your water can eat the copper pipe, so go pex all the way.

Need more possible leaks, well you’re going to wanna get you a Manifold

[calebreed]

I’m curious how your manifold works if your hot and cold are all hooked together? Are you using an instant hot water in each room?

[duanehundley]

Also run the system in a loop rather than branch so you can have “instant” hot water and also save water.

[johnknightiii]

Manifolds are great but you forgo the benifits of a hot water recirculation loop. I haven't seen a system that uses both yet

[tobymacish]

Don’t ever put you water line in the baseboard. Talk about screwing the next trade.

Love the videos, especially as a maintenance tech in the same area as you. I may be maintaining some of these homes. 🤣

We are three of the best plumbers that ever Plumbed a Plumb

As a plumber working in Norway I’m shocked how bad your plumbing standards are in USA

[humboldtglitches]

Flooring installer here thank you for addressing the baseboard issue in many cases the middle might work but for most flooring installers we just prefer that you put it higher than 4 in off of the ground and remember there's anywhere from 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch added by flooring two and a half an inch to 3/4 of an inch depending on the type of flooring if you know it's going to be hardwood just put it four to five inches above the ground because 3/4 of that is going to be taken up by hardwood floor

I like the copper stub out. I have seen so many houses with the shut off all floppy coming thru the sheetrock at all angles.

Remember to spend all your money on the rough plumbing so you can’t afford to buy the toilet.

Recently worked on a house with dedicated lines for each fixture/room and a huge manifold block. It has dozens of leaks points with all the valves and 40 or so lines coming in.
Guess what. It's leaking at three of the valves. To fix it the entire manifold must be disassembled potentially creating other leaks. My guess is every seal in it will have to be replaced. If you do this system, don't use those premade manifold blocks. Buy the ones that are metal and make sure every component can be replaced without affecting others.

The manifold idea sounds good, but I’ve never seen one. I had a 5 1/2 bath home, if you wanted to shut-off the water, you went to the main shut-off for the entire home. Each bathroom had shut-off valves under the sink and toilet, there were none for shower or tub.
