So straight forward and gets to the point, without sillyness. Sometimes its good n fun in some videos but also sometimes we just want to get to have all seriousness to just get the job done. Thank you I will be watching more from your videos. Thank you
Excellent instructions. Good idea to add putty when mounting the faucet.
Thanks, Everything worked great. I got the same faucet and followed your detailed instructions.😊
Thank you!! This video helped me so much.
Great vid. Thank you. Great camera view. Well spoken and detailed.
Thank you!! This was very detailed and helpful.
Unless the owner preferred the handle to point front, otherwise the handle should be mostly on right or left side. I have the same faucet with handle on the right side.
If it is positioned to the right or left and there is no space in the back for the faucet dial to rotate it has to be positioned in a different way. Still functional
its a grossly oversized faucet for that location, probably couldn't rotate fully if on the side
When installing a faucet on a new countertop we always install it before dropping in your countertops. It's a lot easier, no need to go under your cabinet, unless you have to.
You are 1000@ % correct...unfortunately, my countertop guy installed the sink before I could hook up the faucet...my countertop doesn't have as much space behind the sink as his does...looking for a small handed guy with longer arms than mine...lol
Thank You!!!
Great video
Thanks Man!
Hi.If i don`t have plumber putty what can i use?THanks a lot!
Pretty faucet
That sink deserves a much bigger faucet.
This a Kohler faucet, 22-1/16" height, 9" spout reach.
lol, i was thinking that too, could it be any more grossly oversized??
The screw holding the faucet from under the granite should be front and back, now side to side.
you probably dont give a shit but if you are stoned like me atm then you can stream all the latest movies on instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my brother for the last days :)
@Rene Gerald definitely, I've been using InstaFlixxer for years myself =)
Yep as per my Kohler installation directions
Can you do this with a pull down faucet that comes with a mounting plate & just not use the plate?
What size braided hose is that to be connected to the hot and cold
Good job but you forgot the tape on the valves
Those two screws are for tightening faucet to top not for leveling ! Screw nut hand tight then tighten screws till faucet is tight don't over tighten ! The top and cabinet should be level when installed.
I think your video is really going to help me tomorrow. Which faucet is this?
Kohler Faucets- Sous R10651-SD-VS
What about sprayer hose?
did your faucet come with braided hose attached
😊❤
How to adjust getting low pressure
leveling it?? going to shim it or the countertop?
Does anyone know the diameter of the hole cut in the granite for the faucet. I have a brand new faucet that comes with instructions with no size for the hole to be cut and I don't have vernier calipers to measure it. By just a ruler and my eye it looks like 1 1/4" across the tread. Is there a common hole size ???
I’ve got the same thing in my apartment, but my landlord installed it. It’s been about three months now and the faucet has become loose from the granite top. How do I tighten it up again, or should I just use some silicone around the bottom?
I have the same problem
I believe you just have to retighten the screws on the bottom of the sink that holds the faucet
@@wandygonzalez8078 o.k. I’ll take a look under their again and get back to you .
Yeah my faucet comes loose after about 4 days. I have to keep crawling under the sink to tighten it. But the action of swiveling it back and forth between the two sides of the sink always ends up making the thing come loose again. Really frustrating.
@@jmthomas3462 ....and I was thinking about getting this faucet 😕
Are not the set screws suppose to be front to back?
In this case it would interfere with dishwashing.
@#$%& he should have used NON STAINING plumber's putty, (for granite or marble-especially). GOOD VIDEO
TRUE!!! oil from the putty WILL stain the granite!!!
Great, I needed to see the water hookups, but your arm blocked it
Installation mitigeur
Never apply putty to a stone surface. The stone will pull the oil out of the putty that keeps it malleable. That oil will also permanently stain the surface. In this case the stain won't matter, but I promise you that in less than a year that putty it going to crumble like an overbaked cookie; rendering that putty useless. #DontDropYourPlumber
You are right! Don't need putty when rubber gasket is used, putty tends to dry out and fail quicker than the rubber. Rubber gasket alone can do the job of sealing or use silicone
Can I use plummers tape instead of putty.
But for the meantime it works right?
"Fawacet"
Faucet opening/closing handle should be facing to the right side “ NOT TO THW FRONT? Seems like you’re a newbie
must be very limited on space, horrible kitchen configuration
