Outlines
🚿 Introduction to Bathroom Plumbing Design
The speaker begins by outlining the main fixtures in a bathroom: Basin, Debussy, and shower. They propose a 15-minute tutorial to guide viewers on how to connect these fixtures. The audience is encouraged to draw a bathroom layout and place these fixtures, along with a water heater which will be discussed in part two. The focus is on connecting wastewater pipes, starting with the Basin. Two methods are introduced: using connectors or drawing pipes manually. The speaker demonstrates both methods, showing how to adjust pipe sizes and create reducers. The process is visualized in 3D to give a clear understanding of the connections.
🔗 Using Connectors for Plumbing
The speaker explains how to use connectors for a more straightforward plumbing process. They show how to draw pipes from the Basin and WC using the connector tool, adjusting the pipe diameters as needed. The video then transitions to a 3D view to demonstrate the completed connections. The speaker also discusses the importance of correct system classification for wastewater pipes, ensuring they do not go to the septic tank but directly to the sewer. Adjustments are made to the pipe's color and direction to reflect these changes.
🛠️ Advanced Plumbing Techniques and Access Points
The tutorial continues with advanced techniques like creating a cleaning eye or inspection chamber for accessing pipes in case of blockages. The speaker demonstrates how to modify pipes, including flipping fittings and drawing pipes at 45-degree angles. They also show how to cap open ends for access. The process involves adjusting pipe heights and directions to ensure proper flow and accessibility. The 3D view confirms the successful implementation of these techniques.

Transcripts
[Music]
thank you
[Music]
so we have just three fixtures in here
four actually but three main fixtures so
we have the version Basin we have the
Debussy and we have the shower
so what we are going to do for at least
this 15 minutes
I'm going to walk you through how I do
my public connection it's quite simple
quite easy hopefully by the end you
should be able to do yours too
are we good so what I would like for you
to do is
look at my ground floor plan yet with my
fixtures and try and see if you can
actually create yours
so just create a bathroom it doesn't
matter the size just create one and then
placing your base in your Debussy your
shower
you'll need to place in the water heater
now that will be in the part two of this
video when we talk about domestic water
and
hot water and cold water
so for now just placing your Basin
placing your Debussy placing your shower
and I'll show you how to connect the
Wastewater piping the outlet pipes that
takes the water into the sofa way and
the set the tank
so pause the video do that
I assume you've done that now let's
continue the video
now in order to create
your pipe there are two ways you can do
it one is very simple
you can use the connectors
like for example this base in a Javier I
have added the connectors to them
already so we see we have the 32mm
connector the outlet yeah right here if
I click on that the pipe will be created
automatically like this
there you go
so that is the connector method now
let's assume that I don't have that
because I'm thinking you might not have
that so let's just say you don't have
that how do you do it
you can't create a connector fine but I
will teach you how to do that another
time
so let's do it with no connectors
just for this one yeah is that okay so
cut the section
open the section right here
okay let's hide all of this
hiding view elements good
now ground floor Plumbing plan you're
going to go to system you're going to go
to pipe
you select the type of pipe you want so
in this case it's a waste pipe so we'll
be using PVC pipe
is that okay
yeah good
no
you see that
that's also because I have a connector
but let's let's say no the connector and
let's just draw our pipe like this
foreign
and click
now this is 32 mm Bay meter but for the
waste Outlet we like a 50 mm diameter so
in that case we select 50 mm diameter
and we continue drawing with the 50mm
diameter and we come out
good
so you see so here we have 32 mm
like that and here we have 50 mm like
this
so this is a reducer okay from 32 to 50.
and there you have it so rivet will give
you that automatically you don't have to
draw it you just have to determine this
size of pipe here and the size of pipe
here once they are different rivet will
automatically give you a reducer
[Music]
now this is all good but you see that
you can't actually see what you have
drawn in 3D just the outline and the
sketch in order to see in 3d what you
have to do is come here to your detail
level
so right now my digital level is at Cost
but we don't want it at Cost we want it
at fine so we want to find Details we
want to see everything very well find
Details there you go beautiful
sanitary connection effect
so then you see you see how we do that
good now for those who have connectors
let's get rid of this
and we will draw this pipe using
connectors okay so I'm going to click on
this like I did before click on the
connector
I'm gonna come out straight
come down
straight and about halfway again I'm
going to come here to diameter at the
top right around here you see that you
see the mouse good
click on the Arrow to scroll down and
you select 50.
from among the roll down menu
now you bring that pipe all the way down
past the F and outside
and you are done beautiful
see how you connected right perfect
now let's look at that in 3D to see what
we have done
I'm not going to save now we haven't
done anything much there you go
there you go let's update around that
nice
see
just as easy as that we have already
connected
our first waste pipe from the bottle
trap
on a newly Basin and it's out of the
building hurray now let's move on let's
move on let's move on okay let's move on
now we move on to the WC
now in this case
I also have a connector so I'm going to
go to my section
and I'm going to click on the WC and
just click on that connector now you see
why it's important to have connectors
it's quite easy you just click on that
it comes down
somewhere around here and out there you
go
you can see this my section is too low
so I'm going to increase it a bit good
there you see it
good
so you've done the Debussy
try fast isn't it it's quite easy no
hassle at all
now let's see that in 3D too
there it is beautiful
good
so in just about seven minutes we've
been able to do a basin and then the
Debussy
Quest Outlet now let's move on to the
shower
so for the summer you have the shower
drain right here
yeah there you go
and you're going to cut the section
right about here
try and find the drain
there it is
excuse me so we're going to click on the
drain and then again we click on the
create pipe button right here 50 mm out
yes that's what we want
the pipe going out 50 mm you come down
and you move out
of the building
there you go
now let's see that in 3D
okay now you realize that the
fitting here the the fixture
yeah the flow drain yeah the flow drain
is taking the same color with the WC
which I don't want it's not good because
this is going to the septic tank okay
because of the with the soil water in it
but this is just waste water we don't
want it to go to the safety tank we just
want it to go straight to the Soccerway
just like the basic pipe right here
so what you do is you're gonna click on
this
and I'm going to change this system
classification and I'm going to tell
river that rivet I don't want this to go
to the soil and waist I wanted to go to
sanitary water
there you go
so you see that the pipe automatically
changes to Green just like this one
and easily like that underneath 10
minutes we have done our Wastewater pipe
going outside
okay so let's go back to the ground
floor Plumbing plan
you see this pipe is too low this is why
it's not showing I'm going to increase
the height a bit and let's check again
good now we have it right here
so you can delete this section
okay
bring this one a little bit right here
like this
yep
and we're going to right click right
where you see this Square
you're going to right click here and say
draw pipe
now in this case we are zooming that our
setting is somewhere behind here at the
back of the building yeah so we're going
to draw the pipe to go there
just like that
now we see that this is above this so
let's check the height of this pipe
882 mm minus not bad
let's make that minus 900 mm
that is three feet minus three feet and
what we're gonna do here these two pipes
are gonna be connected to each other
is that okay yeah good so let's connect
this and then
we'll bring this one back
and let this one go
also to the back of the building now
we're going to check the height of this
this is minus
seven five nine
now in order for them to connect
perfectly
we want to give it the same size so
let's do minus 800 okay
minus 800 here and minus 800 here so
that the Middle with the middle
elevation is the same
now you do this and boom
you have your swept right here going in
in the proper direction
is that okay
you want to bring that a little bit
closer just like that
okay
now we're going to add just something
just a little bit something extra
now after you have this you might want
to create a cleaning eye now people you
can also call it the rotting eye or the
inspection chamber or the access plug
whichever way you call it
so we're going to create an access block
that is the area where you can actually
access the pipe in case there is a
blockage and you want to do some routing
so that the blockage can go away
so let us we're going to delete this
elbow I'm going to run this pipe through
like this
good delete this elbow
we're going to reattach this
to get the T
I'm glad this happened so that you see
so the t is now in the opposite
direction we don't want it this way we
want it to go backwards we want it to
flow in this direction is that okay so
you're going to flip this right here you
see the flip fitting Arrow good you flip
that perfect
now it's in the right direction
now we're going to create a section
because we want the pipe to come out of
the ground
in order to have an access to it a
cleaning eye
now we're going to go to the section and
hide all of this we don't need that
okay
and as I said if you can't see your pipe
and you see all these lines please
detail level
fine
now you see your pipe okay you see the
levels and the heights between the two
pipes that's good you want to right
click here and you draw a pipe
45 degree remember 45 degree
there you go
now here you want to right click and cap
the open end so this is where you
unscrew so you remove this and then you
have access to route your pipe is that
okay let's see that in 3D
okay
good
see it's already getting filled with
things it's looking nice it's looking
beautiful already
so you see it in 3D so you're going to
remove this like this and then you can
onboard your pipe and remove the
blockage
so let's go back we're going to create
the same for the
WC right here
you delete this
you bring this file backwards like this
and again we're going to join it
good the angle the direction of the T is
good so we don't need to play with it
it's okay like that
next
you go to your section
you select the pipe you right click
on the Square there and you go to draw
pipe
45 degrees I'll pause okay there you go
You Escape
again you select your pipe you right
click and you cap open and
just like that
you see what we have done there
good
now let's see that in 3D good good good
good
there you go perfect
what
we took 15 minutes to do the waist off
as simple bathroom
the next time in the part 2 of this
tutorial we're going to see how to do
the inlet water pipe the domestic water
