Thanks to your help, I just replaced my first bathroom faucet. Not easy, thanks to old corroded pipes, but I did it and I’m proud. Mad respect for full time plumbers.
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 Whereas, the reality of 30 year old faucets used and abused by kids and adults are outdated components, cheap workmanship, poorly implemented installations, hard to reach shut-off valves and heavy corrosion build up from years of hard water build-up.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!
Excellent Video. Thank you just what I needed to be able to switch out to new black matte faucet for my new bathroom I’m renovating!
This is a really good video, you give homeowners confidence.
I appreciate that!
Thank you! I am going to try this as well as our shower! I am excited! Very educational!
Let me put caulk on a gasket just to be safe 😂😂😂
Just bought this unit tonight and am installing tomorrow. Appreciate the tip on using silicone. I’ll have to pick some up just in case.
I know that drain leak must have been a pain, but I’m glad it happened. Lots of great advice on how to take care of that! Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
You needed to tighten the bottom nut with a wrench. Silicone is not needed if you tighten it properly. Hand tight is not enough. You should also clean the bottom of the sink with a scouting pad to ensure a water tight seal.
Thank you for sharing! I bought the same model and it leaked the same. By the time I realized I needed teflon tape and silicone, the stores where closed. Luckily, I only had silicone. Try it out, waited the whole night and it worked. Once again, thank you!
Awesome, glad it worked!
You are a great team! I’m off to replace mine too!
thank you very Much for these great videos!
Good instructions thanks bud..
You bet
I'm so happy you didn't use plumbers putty on the drain. Silicone was the correct way to do it. plummers putty will make gaskets dry out and crack.
Thanks! I was able to remove my old faucet as fast as the video showed. I had the exact same one, and it was super easy.
Glad it helped!
thank you
You're welcome!
So what if my water lines aren't thick enough should I get new thick ones?
Thanks! I have a leaky bathroom faucet at home. Do you need to replace the drain as well? Or can I just replace the faucet with a new one?
Thanks!
You're welcome!
And thank you for the support!
I purchased this exact faucet. It leaks at the same exact place.
Good to know! I'll go with a different brand next time.
What tools did you use to get deep under the sink? I'm having trouble getting to the nuts holding the faucet in.
I believe I used a basin wrench. They can be a pain sometimes. It looks like Husky makes a Universal Faucet Nut Wrench that might work too but I haven't tried it.
They make gaskets for that top plug that touches the sink hole
Did the silicone around the rubber gasket stop the leak? Just installed a new faucet and everything looks good then later on, I see a couple drops of water and it's from the bottom threads. I have threads taped too.
Yes, the silicone worked. We haven't had any issues.
@@TopHomeowner So far so good for me after using silicone.
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome!
Are those new water supply lines?
Well the guys that did your original faucet didn't Jerry rig as much as the original guy that did mine. LoL
Did you put a glue on before putting back ????
Can i keep old drain tube
I know I'm not the only person that heard him say "Deez nuts" around the 2:50 mark.
Before that he said silicone cock 😂
Anyone know How much would it be to pay someone to do this?
Probably the putty mud will do the same sealing. Silicone will be a problem when you try to replace it next time.
Sure will the plumbers putty on both sides would work the same. Probably better like you said pain to get off either silicone, but good video nonetheless.
@@jonathanfaglier JUST CURIOUS WHY THE SILICONE WOULD BE HARD TO REMOVE IF THERE IS A NEXT TIME. AND USING THE PUTTY WOULD IT BE APPLIED THE SAME AS HE DID THE CAULK?
That man is breathing breathing
I need to get the silicone tomorrow and try it again. don't buy this model of faucet it is a pain in the ass.
When I first started having issues I thought it was just me, but it seems like this faucet is mainly to blame.
Please wear gloves 😅
