The Old plumber shows how to Install drain pipes on a kitchen sink..

[bookem1313]

Great video and very informative. I have one question? Do you glue the fitting trap adapters to the 90 degree elbow and the T fitting?

[TheOldkid888]

@bookem1313 Hey book;

You do glue both adaptors. One to the 90 and the other to the TY. All fittings must be glued for sure. I once saw a job where the homeowner did not glue them and they stayed together for a considerable long time before he had any leaks. Usually hot water will cause the fittings and pipe to expand and slowly pull apart if they are not glued.

Thanks for commenting and best of luck with your project!!! Al

live in illnois and our code requires a double y in 2 in with independant traps with a cleanout in the middle so remember to check local codes everywhere is differant

[TheOldkid888]

@e1casper Hello;

Thanks very much for your info. Here in Canada we only require one and the pipe size is 1 1/2". No doubt is different every where, but this is standard practice in these parts.

Thanks for commenting and have a great day!!! Al

Who not two p-traps?

[TheOldkid888]

@ElroyMaynard Hello;

There is no need of 2 traps as one is suffice. A 90 degree elbow is cheaper then another p-trap as well. This is plumbed according to code as well.

Thanks for commenting and enjoy the day!!! Al

Hi. Thanks for this video. I just installed my kitchen drain and faucet, no leaks following your video.

I was having a hard time until I saw how you installed the p-trap at the end, was what I needed. Just saved the cost of a plumber. All the best.

@chinket05 Hello there;

You must always glue the fittings together. After that you should be all set.

can PVC use under the sink?

[TheOldkid888]

@klickkzam Hey there;

PVC or ABS are fine when it comes to use in your home. ABS is the most common around here and that is the reason I used it, PVC will do the same job.

Thanks for commenting and have a great day!!! Al

[mustanggtm18]

wouldnt you use PVC instead of ABS?

[TheOldkid888]

@mustanggtm18 Hello there;

This can be done in either ABS or PVC. In this part of the world ABS is the product we use in residential plumbing, but the application can be done in both materials.

@TheOldkid888 oh ok... cuz im only 17 and in still in school for plumbing and heating... so im still learning

[mustanggtm18]

@TheOldkid888 oh and i realized that you didnt metion about the pipe connecting the double sink has to be sloped 1/4"

[TheOldkid888]

@mustanggtm18 Hello;

That is a good call on your part. Pipe 3 inch and under should grade a quarter of an inch per foot.

Thanks for your comments and keep up the studies!!!  Al

very helpful video. couple questions:

1) if a dishwasher connection is needed does it have to go on a specific side for the sink pipe, i.e. the one on the left furthest from the p-trap or on the right one above the p-trap? or it is strictly dependent on which side your dishwasher is?

2) should the long pipe under the sink be sloped ever so slightly to ensure water drains toward p-trap?

thanks!

[TheOldkid888]

@1winelover Hey winelover:I can relate to the name.If you are adding a dishwasher tailpiece to the basket strainer;it should be connected above the trap.It doesn't matter what side the dishwahser is on for that style of connection.If you are adding a plastic connection between the 2 strainers;it should be facing towards the trap.I will inbox you a video Imade for it.The pipe should grade towards the trap to allow all the water and food particles to drain and prevent an odour.Tks 4 commenting!

Great video. I'm replacing a sink for someone tomorrow, and this will be very helpful. Thanks!

[TheOldkid888]

@Chuckles17 Hey Justin; Hopefully it will go good for you. Trick is not to rush it and you should get a long great. Thanks for commenting and good luck!!!  Al

8:35 tighten your two nuts

[TheOldkid888]

@SlickyWickyNicky Thanks for your comment. This is just a demonstration of how to pipe a double stainless steel kitchen sink drain and if you note I do mention to tighten both nuts in the video. What I said in the video is before you close the doors make sure you tighten the 2 nuts. I actually have this cabinet on a work bench to give a clearer view. Have a great day...Al
