Oh, hey, how you doing? I'm Tim Carter from AskTheBuilder.com, and I've got a secret tip
0:09
to share with you here. Check this out. See right here, I have to install this fitting
0:14
into this vent pipe, and I'm actually going to do it farther up, up here. But I want to
0:20
show you what the problem is. Look at this. The actual hub of the fitting is going to
0:26
be inside partially that two by four. Well, that's not a big deal. You might think, well
0:31
you know what? Let me tell you what happened to me on a job a long time ago. When the first time I had a problem like this, I knew that, you know what? I'm working with inch and a half PVC. That
0:40
means I just have to drill two and an eighth inch holes. I'm good to go. Well, I drilled the holes
0:45
and look what I found out. I've got a scrap piece of two by four here and I've already drilled a
0:50
two and an eighth inch hole, check this out. The hub of the fitting will not fit inside but you know what The pipe fits through great So it took me about an hour and a half to try to chisel around and enlarge that hole and I don want
1:07
that to happen to you here's the size hole you need you need to put in a two
1:11
and nine sixteenths inch hole and check that out the fitting goes in perfectly
1:16
so the tip I want you to remember is before you start drilling holes in your
1:21
wood studs to run plumbing pipes think it through think where the fittings and
1:25
where the pipes actually have to be so that you drill the right hole. I need to get back to work
