Adjust Plumbing and Install New Tub

looking for now that the demo is done we got a clean slate before we start repairing the drywall we first need to put the tub in because that's the sequence of events right tub then drywall goes under that lid covers all those screws so let's go buy a tub I picked up the tub and here's the hardest part of this install it's going to be to figure out all of these measurements make sure that it lines up with our new top keep in mind what we have here is a jungle gym looking thing the drainage from the top is going to the side it's there to accommodate the previous step so we have to follow the instructions and the schematics on the new tub to make sure all our measurements are picture perfect so the tub can just slide in [Music] fingers crossed not screaming up well this is the sign I need some fresh ABS cement got a fresh can of ABS cement because the ABS you don't have to use the primer that purplish stuff in quarter turn should be good [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] I learned this level trick from uh a plumber I saw a video Once do and I thought that was so brilliant because if it's off a little bit it's going to be really hard to make a nice watertight seal so all right I think that's good let's go break in our tub [Music] oh my goodness it fits Victory oh no there's bound to be something I forgot these gaskets are supposed to sit on the outside of the tub not the inside geez okay foreign [Applause] [Music] and now we'll just put everything back I am gonna use some plumber Putty for this gasket there I feel like we're doing arts and crafts this is literally like Play-Doh so when we tighten this that should compress the gasket creating a water seal and excess will squeeze out and we'll just take it off all right drain secured let's secure this one overflow secured now let's get the tub so we got to make sure this tub is leveled I don't see why it wouldn't be because sitting on concrete most tubs usually have holes in here but these folks decided to come up with a different technique where these latches go underneath and then press them down and secure in place and then the rest of them have these little plastic filaments that they sit in like that and then get screwed into the studs [Music]
