Added a circulating pump in bathroom to have 'instant' hot water. Part2
Turn drain replacement/relocation...So.. How the heck do I get in there to cut it?
Oscillating saw!
Took a few blade reorientations, stopping to let cool but cut. Played with the 45° ell. Points right at drain, not enough room for trap. Then realized with 2 90°s I could dogleg over & behind....
Spinning ells around dry took quite a bit to find position where everything cleared. Its tight. I have exactly 1/8" between tail nut, flex & PEX tee nuts and the lines. To glue in at that position I marked and crossed my fingers- Lucky, started off a few degrees then slight twist as pushing in. Luck.
Was going to use 2 vent ells as they are shorter due to space but the lower one is a street ell. Almost as short but has a much better sweep, should help keep clear and with flow as top one dumps.
Before connecting P-trap lined with reflectex- will help with radiated cold air- though not sealed but looks better. Well better than the primed cardboard added years ago to divide off all the cold dead air space.
Connected the new trap-nice! (I need to replace cold water flex line to faucet with longer one- its pushing line over hence the zip to keep in position)
Filled the sink couple of times and dumped to check for leaks. I was concerned with shorter tail drop and smaller line but it drains faster that it ever has?
Look at the room!-more than I hoped for. Why wasn't something like this done at factory or I guess better question is why installed as they had? Back to the pump...
Reinstalled the pump and lines. Much better fit. Recheck for leaks..so far so good.
This to us, after looking at this cabinet being blocked with the 1 1/2" drain after 14 years, is amazing.
Made a loose fitting false bottom.
To protect the wiring and plumbing on the floor and air space. I may and planned to make a 3 sided box to set inside frame.
One roundtoit done, one added.
I'm already looking for a timer to add to pump.. kinda awkward where momentary located to stand and hold.
Which leads to part 3
