    Default A plumber to Sweat in new hose bib and T off i utility sink?

    Miracle fil may be too busy to help within the schedule i was hoping for. Anyone know anyone that isn't a fortune to put in a utility sink in my basement , Td off my house bib right above house supply rather than messing with the brittle looking plastic pipe i have?

    Have a sewer cap i was just going to p trap and run into, maybe a back flow valve? And probably snub my nose at code and trying to run vent from basement to roof. Sink will have regular low flow so I'm sure i won't see the p trap evaporate.

    Sweating copper pipe is not hard. I installed a basin in my basement using high pressure hoses and fittings attached to my washing machines supply valves. Sweating copper tubing isn't hard, either. Sorry that I don't have a contact for you. Good luck!
    If the Odds are equal, you're doing it wrong

    Use a studor vent instead of venting thru the roof.

    Sweating pipe is a 10-20 min job for an inexperienced person. Watch a few vids on uboob. Buy New copper, flux and solder. Tin the ends, sweat together and call it good. If you are in the area come get me and i'll give you a hand.
    It's so easy my wife can do it.

    Shark Bite is what you're thinking of Erni.

    I would not reccomend shark bites for some thing that is going to be permanent, I have seen them leak way to many times I stopped using them a long time ago. +1 on the studor vent, no need to vent through the roof. If I wasn't so busy with the move and new house I would come down and help.
    Don't be stupid!!!!!

    Studor vent I think will be the easy option, and ya, looks easier than I thought, though devils in the details and my handiwork is usually bad.
