And the hacksaw is for whomever decides to intrude while you’re fixing the sink?
Lol wow
🤣
😂💯
😂
😂😂
thanks! i managed to do it all with just the hacksaw.
Was going to ask what the hacksaw for but the top comment made that clear. Thank you and thanks to the hacksaw the installation went smoothly
Replaced both the faucet and drain assembly. It was hard- really hard, but that was mainly because of the challenge due to extremely tight space under our bathroom sink! If there were no wall in the way like in the video, then no problem! The most difficult part was reinstalling the water supply and getting the connection tight enough so it didn't leak. This video left out the parts about muttering, cursing, sweating and scraped knuckles! I had to watch a different video for the drain assembly installation and follow the faucet kit directions for that.
Put the supply lines on the faucet first, then feed the lines down the holes where the faucet sits.. it’s much easier to make a tight connection that way.
Joe D----What a great idea ! Finding the room for two pairs of wrenches up under there , would be difficult . Thanks .
Good tip !
Very true!
Do you recommend sealing the base of the faucet with silicone?
wish I had read this before I started - this would have saved me a lot of trouble!
I watched several videos but this one was concise and detailed, thank you.
Very clear and precise information. Thank you.
Very well done. My father was a plumber by trade for more than 24 years, and ran his own business providing expert plumbing, electrical, and appliance repair. He was truly a "Jack of all trades" and was also adept at house remodeling, cement and tile work, and automotive repair. I learned a great deal from him growing up and have a wide breadth of skills, although certainly not at his level.
That being said, I need to replace the faucets in a "fixer-upper" home we recently purchased that was built in the early 1990's. My memory is that it was an easy job to do, so thank you for providing this video so I could refresh my memory on the process. Of course, so many of the videos shown on these kind of repairs show fixtures in perfect repair, and essentially brand new, with ideal fittings and easily accessible connections. Whereas, the reality of 30 year old faucets used and abused by kids and adults are outdated components, cheap workmanship, poorly implemented installations, hard to reach shut-off valves and heavy corrosion build up from years of hard water build-up. Ugh.
I've gone ahead and subscribed to your channel. I liked the approach you took, using a real-world example of an actual project you worked on. Thank you!
replied to a 3 minute plumbing tutorial with your autobiography. Love how you operate michael
Too much time on your hands if you write your life story down here...
HI, Your videos are great!
I love your video, it's so professional!
Thanks. Going to try to install faucet this weekend. Adding another project to my handywoman tasks.
Thank you for this great video. I replaced my old faucet with a nicer new one. Did it myself by watching this video. The only thing I added was plumbers tape.
No need to put Silicone Caulking under the deck plate cover? I thought i had to.
@@galactic904 The installation instructions for my faucet said the same thing; "Silicon sealant is required under the gasket." So what gives, PlumbCraft?
This did it for me, thank you for the video!
Great video. Keep up the great work.
Explained very well....I think I can do this!!!!...Thanks!!!
This is helpful. Thank you!
Very good and plain instructions.
Thank you for this!
That wrench for the top part is the key here.
I love how easy this looks. I’ll report back when I finish the job. 😊
It's been 3 day's how long is this going to take you 👀
Awesome Video!
That was awesome video ty everyone!!!
My first day to replace faucet. Thsnk, you much. It did help me.
Thanks. Great video. I used the hacksaw to remove my caulk afterwards.
What's the saw for?
The saw is for cutting the wall away so you can see what you’re doing.
It's for when the sink starts misbehavin
you may need to cut piping when replacing a faucet thats whats its for
@@ILVT_Plumbing so why didn’t she explain tht? Rhetorical question.
no plumbers putty needed?
Thank you very much 😊
THANK YOU !!!
Thank you!
I saw a saw at the beginning of video that had me intimidated...!! 😱
Didn't see saw in video so now I'm more ambitious..!! 👨🏾🔧
Good 💩..!! Thanx..!! 👩🏻🔧👌🏾
cool stuff!
This was the easiest and most detailed video I've seen on how to replace a Faucet. Is there a way to tight the bolts with a different wrench? Unfortunately I can't seem to tighten the v-things enough to keep the Faucet from moving. I tightened them enough to the point to where it only moves a little as the Sink bowl gets in way. But thx for posting this video
Great Vid!
Is it okay to bend/manipulate (angle) the copper line a bit to that it can connect directly to the water supply on the wall?
Seems pretty easy.. wish me luck
Thanks, u make it too easy. Any help on how to get around the sink wall would be nice.
thanks dear.This is help.
Thanks!!
Thank you.
Good video 👍
So I had a plumber come and do this a few days ago but the water isn't working. I looked under the sink but I don't see those valves next to the water nozzles. Any ideas how I can get the water flowing?
Thank you for your help because my bathroom faucet is dripping even when I turn it off all the way. And you are beautiful
great!
Thank you ily
I just purchased a Moen and I can see that the copper pipes are at such an angle that I might not be able to attach the hot and cold water lines. I am afraid to take the old one apart just to find out that it does not fit. Is it a manufacture's defect?
Is Teflon tape necessary for the connections? Thx
can I bend the hot/cold water cords because its 10 inch to water supply line and I have 12 inch cord can I bend it or will it cause leaks my hot/cold water hose is the same as the one in video
No thread tape?
That's what I was wondering.....
Will a widespread work with this type of basin?
What was the hack saw for
Excellent
You're #1
awesome video -do i need to put any plumbing puddy down when I put on the plastic plate under the base of the faucet?
GeoFagus123----No , but , you may want to put silicone around the outside edge of the base , after you have fastened the faucet tightly in place . You are actually trying to prevent water from the sink " getting in " , rather than trying to prevent any getting out . When people are washing their hands , sometimes they splash water everywhere .
She didn't show the part where you have to lay down on the floor and work in an odd position.
Yup! Doing it right now 😂😂
the new faucet is little tricky when its 2 old for replace bcoz those nuts bcome rusty
What is the hacksaw for? I always see this as a needed tool but no one seems to use it.
I used a mini 8" hacksaw to make three cuts in the stuck brass nut on the old galvanized metal tailpipe when removing the assembly. My metal drain flange was not a screw off type -- old plumbing.
Sink position prevented vertical sawing so I cut at a 45 degree angle. Took me about 5 minutes for each cut. Plumbing department assistant at the big box store suggested this solution after other efforts failed. I was a happy diy newbie when that washer met its end.
My supply lines don’t connect to the faucet through such thick pipes. The supply lines are connected to very skinny pipes. And there aren’t any plastic nuts anchoring the faucet either. What do I do?
That’s so easy when everything it’s new but what about when every pipe is rusty and old ?
I used wd40 to free up old nuts ... spray a ton .. walk away at least 5 minutes to let it do its magic ... come back and voila the nut came off (can also wire brush the threads and then do wd40)
What about the black screw out thingies at the top of the waterline that you took off they should not be replaced. I didn’t notice you replacing those in your video.
What was the saw for?
No need to put Silicone Caulking under the deck plate cover? I thought i had too.
You need to
@@theamericanhiker9655 yes, if you dont any water you splash on the deck of the sink may trickle under the faucet into the cabinet...
I didn't see how hacksaw is involved
Eh, plumber's tape on the threads maybe?
1:35
It isn't always this simple. These videos would be better if they covered the real world problems often encountered when replacing a plumbing fixture.
I just found your channel only realize you nolong upload videos
When I do things, theres always blood involved. I didn't see any in this video wtf!
The instructions say to put plumbers putty under the gasket. Nobody shows how to do this.
Man what a cutie.
That's lovely... If you're removing new parts from a new sink with more than a 4 square inch space where 20 year old nuts are melded to copper pipes.
How come everything looks easy in a video
I had to make three trips to the hardware store, lol
Once again, we removed the wall because this is a massive pain in the ass.
Bill Nada not really... just install the supply lines on the faucet before you install the sink.. feed the lines down the holes where the sink sits
😆😆😆 Indeed!
ridgid ez TOOL>
I’ll kuumpo ok ji
You didn’t show the hardest part. Putting the drain into the pipe without leaks. Worthless video!
That is Great Princess, But i will hire mine out 2b installed.
Instructions unclear - cut off my foot with the hacksaw.
another nonsense video.... show how to install the drain pipe.
My thoughts exactly.... I watched this after I replaced my faucet ... it surely didn't take 3 to 4 minutes .... but I replaced all parts ...
Took more time to get old faucet out than it did to put new one in
Good grief!!!
No sealant needed?
