Well, the first thing which you have to do is the plan for your bathroom no matter whether it will be built from the bases or you will rebuild the old one. You need to know where the sink, the toilet dish and the shower will be so that you can do some pre-work. Knowing that is also necessary for choosing the right place for the drain- you know that is the place which the water goes through while taking a shower.

Then, you should choose the size of the pipe for your water supply. There is a great variety of sizes but it is recommendable you choose a pipe whose diameter is between 1 and 1.5 inches. Of course, you should also choose proper pipes for the drain system- you should know that their diameter is usually between 2 and 4 inches!

The third step which you should take is connecting the water supply with the shower and the toilet dish. I am sure that it sounds complicated to most of the guys but it is actually not. All you need to do is measuring the distance between the stub-in and those three “objects” and then cutting a pipe of proper size so that you can make the joint. It was not that difficult, was it?

Perhaps, you could see that plumbing is not so difficult but you should not be saved some tips and warnings. For example, you must know that choosing the less complicated and the shortest route is the best thing which you can if you do not mess up while using the pipes for connection between the stub-in and the toilet dish, sink and shower. Of course, you should also be very careful when in contact with chemicals such as PVC cement or primer for example.
