Today we have a problem. We have a brand new wash machine and the outflow discharge is too much for the existing plumbing. So we're going to upgrade it and make it safer by adding a trap because the existing did not have a trap involved. This discharge goes into this 1 inch copper that reduces down to 3 1.3 1.4 inch copper and then down into the cement slab. So we're not going to chase a 2-5 back. We're going to cut this pipe here and add it from this location. I cut it right here. We made a trip to the local Home Depot. We picked up some plies for this task. We grabbed a number of elbows, 4 elbows and a 10 foot length of the 1 inch PVC. We got a 3 1.4 inch shark bite. That'll a female threaded end. We have this connected that when used to clamp the discharge hose to this fitting here. And that should be keep it pressurized so the water will keep going down the drain. We have the primer and the glue for the PVC pipe. We bought a hacksaw. We also have some drywall screws and some clamps to secure the pipe to the wall. Make it safer and hopefully last longer. The drill we're going to use to put the drywall screws through the clamps to secure it to the wall. Obviously we're going to start with removing the discharge hose from the existing plumbing. And our next step, we have to cut the old copper tubing. So we're going to begin to build it from there. We're going to take it about an inch below this solder. And our saw off there with a hacksaw. We're going to have a tubing cutter with us, which would have made it a little easier. So we're going to use the hacksaw. Cut about an inch below the solder line and then begin the construction. Yeah, where we cut the pipe is still filled with water. So it gives us the impression that it's still a blockage somewhere in the system. We're just going to stick it, use a coat hanger just to see if there's any obstructions down there. Nothing from here to the elbow. And we found this still water in the drain pipe. So we're going to take it out of the shop back and blow it through it and see if we can remove the obstruction. We're going to add some more water to see if we fill it back up or if it's flowing freely. We added some liquid plumber and some boiling water. And we used the shop back on exhaust and we blew through it. It's still slow but it's improved on what it was. So when it build from this point and the pressure from the washer we are hoping will push through. We assembly by putting Teflon tape on the threads of the adapter. Now the Teflon tape seals the threads. It makes a leak proof seal. So the next we'll be threading the shock bite fitting over the threads. When I applied the Teflon tape I went in the direction when you tighten. I'm going to take a measurement from the old existing pipes and put it to the same height it was. So we're going to go 22 inches up and 42 inches across. We'll cut all the lengths that we need. Dry fit it. Make sure it's accurate. Then we'll start gluing it after that. Make it permanent. There wasn't a trap on the existing plumbing. So we're going to install the trap now. Help prevent the saw gases from coming up. We just used three 90 degree elbows to create a trap. That way they'll always be water sitting in there and it won't allow gas to come back up through the drain line. We used some nipples in the elbows to create the trap. These short pieces of pipe are referred to as nipples. No giggling. So I'm going to ensure proper fit. We haven't glued anything together yet. But I'm going to take my measurement from here. So now I'll cut right over here and then complete the dry fit and make sure we're happy before anything gets glued together. Here we have it all dry fit. And we're looking at our results. It's good to go. So we'll take it apart and glue it together. Then put it back on the pipe here. Right here we have the primer and the cement. The primer is a cleaner and it gets it ready for the cement to adhere to the plastic. So we unscrew it. Take the door out. Clean the inside of the fitting. Clean the end of the pipe. Then apply the cement. And we'll do the each joint the same way each time. So in order to attach the washer discharge hose to our new plumbing, we're going to have to trim this down. So it'll accept both this and this. This is an adaptable. It can reduce down to different sizes. We don't need those smaller sizes. So we're going to trim it. So it fits our need. So just to remind you to put the clamps on first before you put the rubber adapter piece on. That way you don't have to take it apart to redo it. Now for these these are accessed. I'm going to have the screw head facing upward. That way it doesn't get lost behind the unit. Now we're going to attach these two together and tighten the final clamp. This is the shock pipe fitting that I mentioned earlier. This all we have to do is press onto the copper tubing and it's done. No soldering, no tightening. It just pushed down and it's done. It works on pressure and the pressure holds it together and seals it up tight. Here we go just placing it on the tubing, pushing it in place. And that's all it took. That is done. We're going to use the clamp we took off that held the old system. That way it gives us clearance on the hot and cold water feeds. So we'll use this for the horizontal piece and we'll use these for the vertical piece. Because drainage and plumbing works by gravity, we need a slight downhill on this piece. So you want to keep that in mind when you put in the pipe clamp on. We'll put in a block of what is a spacer to keep the pipes off the water feeds. And it gives us a little more work and clearance at the top. The last task we have is to glue on this adapter. Oh that sucks. Now we're priming the top of the drain pipe. Everything is connected and we're going to test it now by doing a load of laundry. Well the wash is just drained. We have no leaks so I'm going to call it a success except for the purple stain. Thank you for watching this video. For our next video, we're doing some drywall water damage repair. So we'll be cutting out the old damaged drywall and replacing it with some new stuff. Tapping it and painting it and then completing this laundry closet. If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below and I'll be sure to get back to them as soon as I can.
