    • @logan1572
      @logan1572 2 года назад

      Typically in this case where on the faucet is being replaced, putty can be used beneath the trim ring so that if any water accumulate on the sink surface, the putty will prevent the water from seeping down into the cabinet area. I use clear silicone. Form a small bead on the sink surface, place the ring down, wipe away any excess with my finger. Makes a nice, tidy seal.

    Not rocket science, but even if everything goes right (and plumbing often does not), this is definitely over simplified! He made no mention of the contortions that you sometimes have to do on your back, IF you can fit inside the vanity/cabinet, reaching three feet up (eye protection and flashlight suggested) in a tight, often congested spot to get to the hold down bolts with a basin wrench, which btw, most of us don't have in our tool box. Nor did he mention the complexity (for a novice) of finding the right shutoff valve in Lowes/Home Depot (there's a myriad of choices) and actually installing them. Sure, plumbers typically overcharge for this service, but they make it seem light anyone can easily replace a faucet. My guess is that its probably well less than 5% of the population that will ever try and succeed.

      I wish I could give you a thousand thumbs up. Nearly everything that could go wrong on mine went wrong. Needed to replace the shutoff valve and there are like a thousand choices and it took forever to figure out which one I needed.

      @@B.Elliott LOL! Touche', sort of. I'm a Boomer. I've watched many faucet replacements over the years. I have learned the skills needed to change a faucet, but being a bigger guy, I usually choose not to. We haven't even mentioned the unique, (sometimes annoying) engineering that has to be mastered when replacing the sink's pop up valve. They are not universal and your job is not complete until this is done. The video was oversimplified. Particularly with plumbing...stuff happens.
