Yes! That is one reason the high-quality pot fillers have two valves. The second is a safety until such time as you fix the drip. These faucets, in residential use, rarely would get the multiple on/off use each day like a kitchen faucet. The internal parts can last for many years before they would wear causing a drip.
He seems so happy!
I couldn't agree more!
I have been searching for a demonstration on how to attach a wall mount sink faucet. The rough-in valve photos show a threaded female part. Since my plumbing is PEX, i wanted to understand how I would make the connection before ordering the valve. Totally different set-up here, and yet you showed me in the first 30 seconds how it could be done in my set up. Thanks!

Great instructions Tim, thanks. Any guidelines on how high to install the pot filler? Should it be a certain standard height above the cook top??
Well, I sort of have. I have one or two videos on soldering copper tubing/pipe. If you learn how to do that, you can get pipe to anyplace you want. Soldering the lug L threaded fitting needed for the pot filler nipple is the same as soldering on a regular 90.
I thoroughly enjoyed this little clip and it made me laugh at the end. Keep it up.
Great question. I got out my wife's tallest pot and made it one inch higher.
Correct. Many Chinese restaurants have the gutter at the stove. You can see them rinse the woks just after they cook.
Us and our "Rookie Mistakes" great tip on the pipe wrench..I like the new endings too.
Tim I think you do an awesome job of explaining things to us all. On this paticular "Pot-Filler" job I was wondering if you had put wooden supports not only to hold the brass dropped eared 90' but what exactly did those screws anchor to on the hidden retention ring? Did you install another stud behind the drywall? How bout' drilling thru tile did your drill happen to have "hammer-action"? Again I'm not being sarcastic I really like your work but these are just ?'s that I don't see answered.
Yes, it was. I had back muscle spasms for about a week after taping this video.
Good idea. They are a commercial faucet that has migrated to residential use.
Great tip on removing the aerator prior to the first pour. Installing one of these as a positionable shower arm, to be able to flexibly reposition the rain shower head in my master bath renovation. Video will be forthcoming... If she works :)
Why of course it worked. I've been a master plumber since 1981. For unlimited free tips each week subscribe to my FREE newsletter at www.AsktheBuilder.com
Great ?s! No offense at all as you are most polite. There is solid 2x blocking behind the tile at that location. The lug ell fitting screwed to it and then I placed another block over that that had a hole drilled slightly larger than the diameter of the fitting. Never hammer drill tile. Never ever....... Just use a new regular bit. Once it cuts into the glaze, the rest is easy. Porcelain tile though is tougher. You often need diamond bits.
Should be available. Says it right on the label. Be sure to stir WELL before using. It can separate in the can.
It is, but a downstream one from the one than has the buttons.
no worries - Thanks for the comment.
Yes, it is usually a theaded pipe.
I’m not sure how I got here in my escapade of videos but this is a wonderful tutorial

Great video. 👏🏽 Help! I’m doing a kitchen remodel and moving my refrigerator to a new area in the kitchen. I’d like to use an old refrigerator water line for pot filler. Will this work? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
It depends on the size of the line. Most refrigerator ice makers are a 1/4-inch line. That's too small for a pot filler.
1. Why not Teflon tape?
2. What's the difference between Hercules Multi purpose Mega loc tread sealant vs Hercules real turf paste?
Thank you for video. I'm doing this myself. In NC the plumbing prices are out of sight. $500 to install and the wall is already open with water supply right next to stove. I've done most of the work myself from your channel. My pictures are on Instagram. I will not be installing flooring or cabinets. I'm to afraid but lve saved so much money. I did my hood and HVAC. My house vinyl siding so that was simple to install exhaust. It's been 7 months of labor because l'm teaching myself. So thank you!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I will be installing pot filler when you answer the question regarding tape, sealant or paste.
After pot filler, Fireplace wall and lastly next my carpeted stairs. I really hate they didn't teach girls this stuff. Understanding tools and wood has been a history class😂😂😂. Thank you
1. I'm not a fan of teflon tape. 2. You can look at the MSDS sheets for the differences in those products. I've NEVER had a failure using RectorSeal in my 40+ years of plumbing.

@@askthebuilder Subscribing!!! Thank you
Convenient, although it doesn't completely eliminate carrying the water-filled pot. You still have to schlep it back to the sink when you're done.
Unless... I saw one such faucet in a restaurant kitchen. The cooktop had a gutter leading to a drain. Not for dumping huge volumes of water (not deep enough), but for quick rinsing of pots and pans.
Our backsplash has a small issue, the tile around the pipe is very brittle. We cant screw in the first round plate. Can we only use the small alan screw to secure the faucet to the pipe and then add the decorative round piece?
You can try. You can also get me on the phone: shop.askthebuilder.com/15-minute-phone-or-video-conversation-with-tim/
very informative and precise.. keep up the good work.
Do most people use the hot water or cold water for these pot filler ? or does it matter .
Cold water is the best practice.
@@askthebuilder Thank you for reply ,did some research & also found this to be true for a number of reasons . Thank you for your videos.
Tim I think your video is really good im an apprentice plumber and was asked to install a pot filler and because I saw your video I did it with out a problem thanks oh and I also found you to be funny in a way that kept my attention so thanks again
Congrats on the plumbing vocation! Decide now to do nothing but the BEST work and you'll be richly rewarded down the road. Do It Right, Not Over! That's my motto. Glad I was able to help you.
Tim, I have a curious question. How come pot fillers have two control valves? Sometimes that doesn't make much sense to me.
Easy. There's no basin under them to catch drips or accidental turn-ons.
@@askthebuilder I see. Yeah, you don't wanna spill water on the stove or cooktop. That wouldn't be good at all! No siree. That makes perfect sense.
If I have some water leaking where the pot filler base is mounted to the wall, what could be the potential issue? New O-ring?
Simple. Poor workmanship. Improper application of pipe thread compound.
Sure. Many other commercial kitchens.
Tim.... Are all pot filler faucets standard for 1/2" stub out or do some come 3/4"? Great video... Thanks!
I can't begin to answer that as I don't keep in my brain cells the specs for all pot filler faucets. Hope you understand! Just check the specs of the model you plan to purchase.
Ask the Builder Thanks... The brass nipple that you used on your video looked 1/2". I'm sure they are all somewhat like regular sink faucets which are mostly 1/2". The reason I ask is because my walls are currently open and ready for the drywall and I wanted to install that "special brass fitting" your mentioned beforehand. Thanks again Tim!
Danny Herrera The brass nipple was 1/2-inch. Danny, you must buy your faucet NOW and see what it requires. Get it? Don't GUESS and HOPE you're right. Hope is the emotion of last resort. You hope for things when you can't control the outcome. You can control putting in the correct fitting. :-)
Ask the Builder Thanks Tim... I just purchased the faucet today..... A Representative of one of the major brands of faucets happen to be in the store doing a demo and he did confirm that ALL brands of faucet manufacturers including his are all standard for 1/2" stub-out's. I also noticed that these pot filler faucet's are quite expensive. The cheapest one they had was just over $200.00.... I don't quite understand why they would be so pricey..... anyway thanks for all the helpful information.
Danny Herrera Congrats!!! You did the right thing. Would love to see a video of your completed install. Be SURE it doesn't hit anything when it folds in and out. Mine had a clearance of just about 0.5 inch!
That was a Moen. It is fantastic quality.
If my house is on a slab, and therefore cannot run my waterline below the kitchen and up from the floor, will a pot filler be as efficient if the line is run down from the attic? Any concerns I should be aware of?
destenvise no. It will work exactly the same.
It will work fine. Just be aware if you live where the temperature drops below 32 F, the water line could freeze up in the attic.
I am renovating my kitchen(more like moving it entirely) and was wondering how to connect my new plumbing pex to the pot filler. Thanks!
he prob died
Jessica Pippin jk
Easy. Watch my Connect Pex Pipe video
Nope. Just catching up. One-man show.
how tight should the faucet be when you tighten it down?
Tight enough so you can't unscrew it by hand.
You didn't mention what is a standard height plus, between left and right measurement of a stove top?
Ken, there's a reason! Each pot filler has different swing characteristics and each cook has different height pots!
@@askthebuilder Thank you my friend.
What did you think of my character in the movie Cocoon? I felt I did a pretty good job..... :-)
I am definitely planning to have a pot filler for my gas cook-top in my dream beach house! Will come in very handy for making spaghetti, lasagna, and boiling seafood!
Wonderful! For unlimited free tips each week subscribe to my FREE newsletter at www.AsktheBuilder.com
Do you have a link for the fitting?
No. It's a short nipple. Each job requires a different one. Many variables.
Is a pot filler only used with Gas stoves? What about electric?
Thank you
Margo
Margo, you can use a pot filler faucet on any type of stove, even a wood stove! You'll love it!
Ask the Builder Wonderful thank you. I am currently redoing my whole house which is a rental property and since the kitchen is ripped out, thought about practicality and value. Thank you for your response.
Margaret P. Clarke You're welcome! Hope you subscribed. I'm about to upload about 400 new videos!
My guess is for drip safety. Remember, a drip at this location is death on a stick. No sink or drain below it. But the real answer lies with the engineers at Moen.
There is no danger. As far as people using gas stoves, there are *millions* here in the USA.
Yes. Good eye! That was a little mistake in continuity.
Didn't you say not to turn on the faucet for the first time with the aerator on (because it can clog - and I agrre) but then you put it back on and say "Let's see if it works." which implies it's the first time you turned it on. I know it wasn't but you seemed to contradict yourself. I really like your videos, thank you for making them. I'm only trying to offer helpful suggestions.
Thanks Tim!

@xJesseriotx Saves half the work...... Fifty percent LESS chance of dropping a pot full of water between the sink and cooktop. I didn't invent this faucet. I'm just showing it as a possibility.
you are the best,great thanks for all upload keep a good work bye
If you are in a big family that likes pasta it's very useful.
Why would you make that statement? My guess is that you think you will be out of work. You should look at the facts: 78% of people are NOT DIYrs. Those that are have no intention of hiring a pro unless they absolutely have to. I urge you to abandon your Scarcity mindset and take a huge swig of Abundance Juice. When you give away your knowledge all sorts of good things will happen.

Its funny though because unless youre serving right off the stove, you still have to remove the filled pot off the stove...but i never say no whem someone wants one.
One extra fixture
You're right about moving that pot away from the stove, but ask a professional chef and she/he will tell you why they're so convenient.
@@askthebuilder right because aprofessional would serve from the pot off the range. But again like i said, I'm a plumber, ill install whatever you want if you have the coin
nice
