This Toilet Supply Pipe Actually Avoided A Structural Wood Beam
The plumber in the video was able to avoid drilling into the beam by running the pipe through the sidewall. This involved making a few 90-degree turns to maneuver the pipe around the beam and position it where it was needed for toilet installation.
Here are some additional tips for homeowners who are planning to install a toilet supply line:
Hire a licensed plumber. Plumbing work can be complex, and it is important to hire a professional who is qualified to do the job correctly.
Identify the location of structural beams. Before you start drilling, make sure you know where the structural beams are located. You can consult your house plans or hire a professional to help you identify them.
Avoid drilling into structural beams. Drilling into structural beams can weaken the structure of your house and cause serious damage. If you need to run a pipe through a structural beam, you will need to hire a structural engineer to design a safe solution.
Use the correct materials. When installing a toilet supply line, it is important to use the right materials. Copper pipe is a good choice for water supply lines.
Follow local building codes. Building codes vary from place to place. Make sure you understand the local building codes before you start any work.
