I notice there's a slot in the nut that tightens the tap up underneath, can you use a screwdriver on that? I'm a Joiner, never changed a tap in my life.
Also ; what size socket would I need for that nut, just in case I have to get one..and what length would I need it to be to make it as easy as you made it look.

Once again, you’ve saved me money on a plumber visit to change the tap. Thanks.
Brilliant! I watched this video a few times and went out and bought the tools and methodically did the job as this is the first time I've ever done any plumbing work. The video was so well explained and easy to follow, I did the whole thing effortlessly and even fitted two isolation valves and flexihose. Thanks for this video!
Great vid - it explained everything really well in detail - learned what i should have done! now to redo the job to stop the tap wobbling & renew the flexible hoses.
Great vid. Gave me the confidance and I fitted my kitchen tap this weekend, it was very tight but instead of welding to a box spanner I used my car socket set and fitted the box spanner on the end, worked a treat.
This saved me today, thanks. Great video, just what I needed.
You weren’t messing when you said it’s tough to remove the old fittings! My hands got tired but super proud now the job is finished ✅ Great video, thanks for posting.
Cheers bud, changed the exact same tap for the exact same tap, your vid was a great help
Just finished fitting my new mixer tap. Mine was even more difficult to do, as I don't have a double undersink cupboard - just one, and with more pipes and fittings in the way! In addition, the original nuts and olives on the copper pipe tails connecting the HW/MCW isolating valves (lucky they were there and had 15mm screw threads) wouldn't come off, so I had to use a hack saw to remove the pipes.
Fitting the new one was much easier, especially as the clamping nut and bolt had to be fitted on the opposite side, which gave me more space to work with (the new tap set came with a plastic tool to use which actually worked fine). The new pipes were braided flexibles so weren't too bad to fit, albeit a bit long. No kinks as far as I could see.
All working fine no, and thus far, no leaks. Thanks James for the 'how to' video - it really helped. I certainly appreciate why plumbers charge quite a bit for their time and effort - I would NOT want to have to do this, day after day.
Nice and easy instructions, excellent human being!! Keep that spirit in you going!
Your tip of towel inside cabinet to lie on was fab made it so easy. Thanks. All your vids are great tips. I don't do these things often but act as reminders.
No worries mate! Glad to help! SUBSCRIBE! ➡️👉 ruclips.net/user/plumberparts 👈⬅️ IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY! 😎
Excellent video mate. My kitchen sink tap was juddering and leaking when I'd have my hot water on upstairs in the basin or bath. Thought it may have been the pipework before untill I inspected the hot water tap which was the same monoblock you've just fit in. The hot water side was slack. Tried to tighten it up which I did using a Allen key however still persisted then used your method to fit in a new tap and it works perfectly. Word of warning to us guys in the UK. The cheap Amazon/eBay taps are ok but not used to our water pressure so will only last a while mines did 3 years.
Thank you so much for the video!! Managed to replace a kitchen tap today!!
Thanks very simple instructions but very effective, exactly what I needed perfect. Thanks
Excellent vlog on the kitchen tap, now, all I need is divine inspiration in order to fit my dual spray Grone fitment ...
Great video, really well explained. Thank you!
Always found your videos very useful. You are a gem.
very good video, im doing my level 1 in plumbing at the moment, great video and easy to follow and understand.
great video mate, well done clear to follow, thanks for posting
Thank you so much for this vid!! Very helpful and perfect description! 👍👍👍
This video is a great help to me: the spout cracked on my over-priced Franke Munich and then came apart when I tried to remove it, so now I have to replace the whole tap block. Your instructions just made that a heck of a lot less hassle. I should be able to undo the nut with a socket spanner, if I can get past the rigid tails those psychopaths put in the way.
The box spanner’s are Essential for this job, adjustable spanners in tight spaces are pure hell.
So clear and concise. I'm really glad I stumbled across your video. Thank you.
Hi Dave, No worries dude! SUBSCRIBE! ➡️👉 ruclips.net/user/plumberparts 👈⬅️ IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY! 😎
Brilliant thankyou. So clear and straightforward.
best demonstration and great act.short and simple.keep it up
This was very helpful, thank you.
Great job! Helped me so much, thanks alot!
Thanks for the video, this helped and saved me a load of money, thanks!
Very helpful video mate. Thanks.
Thanks. Good one. I have just attached the flexible connecting pipes to my new mixer tap. Ignoring the instructions to just finger tight I put the smallest of nips onto the pipes with my pliers. Now after seeing the way you did it I'm not sure if this was sensible. Just about to find out when I finish the job!
Edit - Just finished the job and it looks ok.
Brilliant video. Thanks
Absolutely brilliant video thank you so much
Another great video, many thanks.
Extremely well explained. Thank you very much.

Good man very useful, I'm gonna have a go at my Franke tap now, fingers crossed.
Excellent very well presented !
Excellent. Just what I needed. Star!
I have learnt so much watching your video many thanks for your help thank you
Massive help as ever, hold tight!!
Awesome vid as always plenty of detail, Looking forward to the toolbox tour one you mentioned a while back
Starting the filming today.
Good Man
Thank you ...I followed this to the letter and had no problems fitting😊
very good. I love watching these videos.
Thanks mate.
Good vid well explained.
Just reviewed today before changing a tap! All went well, cheers :-)
Thanks so much. Got a dirt blocked hot feed on kitchen tap and couldn't get access to top end. Now know I need a tube spanner ! 👍🏻
Very good video, I had flexible pipes, and luckily, I had two isolation pipes hanging around, lol. I had to buy myself a set of Spaners to take the tap off
Brilliant job cheers mate.
Mine didn't need replacing but it had come very loose so your video was VERY useful thank you. A set of those spanners for a fiver from Amazon and l was "Good to go" as they say. I agree though it's a bloody pain in the arse job crawling under there to fit the spanner.
Fantastic video, thanks
Thanks just needed to confirm that finger tight is ok for the pipes at the tap end, so now I know!
Great video, thanks v much, really useful to see the underside connections and how to bolt up.
There’s plenty of other videos on isolating valves and compression joints, even on speed fit pipes...
This waa brilliant local plumber wanted 77 pounds per hour to do this, i managed it myself after watching thanks
Great informative video. I like.
Thank you ,good informative vidio
Excellent video. I'm calling in a plumber!
Well done. Thank you.
Exactly what I was looking for.
Excellent video mate. I had a nightmare changing a very similar tap because I don’t have a welded handle on my monoblock spanner set. Could you please tell me the type of handles they are and where I could get them from. I want to get my spanner set welded like yours.
Your videos are absolutely brilliant mate.
Good work james
Good tool to have handy is a telescopic pole with a magnet on the end. Looks exactly like an old school car aerial. Use this to hold the underside clamp in place while you position you spanner.
Thanks!
That's was exactly what I was looking for :)
No worries! Glad to help you out doooode!
good job mate and very helpful cheers x atb
excellent video
Thanks for this
Hi thanks for the video. It's great. But how do I solder/connect the new tap flexi taps to the copper piping? Any advise would be grateful.
Thank you so much you are the Hero 1 one in the Uk 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
You made that look easy 👍
great guy and super video, made such a difference to my diy skills of my lack off should i say.
Ha! No worries mate, glad to help!

This was the best tip vid I found
Hi James thank you soooo much for your lovely video , quick question where can I get that triangle stabiliser from ??? Could you please let me know , thank you.😊
My job was a goodun. Thanks chap 😎👍
Thanks mate! you just saved me a fortune in a call out fee alone!
Tubular spanners are definitely for the win.
As they used to say a decade ago.
The new tap had a slot in the nut so a long screwdriver would likely have worked. But the box spanners set is £8 so I got both.
thank you so much, just a quick question how to stop water dripping from the sink tap which you installed now, same type. waiting for your reply,
Great video cheers
Just the job, thanks! Bought the tube spanners to help, 8 quid. Nice shiny new mixer in the kitchen and the other half has stopped nagging as the dripping noises have stopped! 😄
Thank you for your videos. I just successfully changed my mixer taps with copper pipes with new flexible pipes and new isolation valves thanks to you advice!
Just found your video which has helped me, question though how do I fit the flexi pipes to the copper pipes, you didn't show that part, does the pipe cutter thread as well so I can screw the flexi on to the copper
brilliant, thanks
very helpful indeed. thank youi
No worries.
Awesome video! And funny as well

+des goulding No worries Desmond!
I came here to learn how to manual a skateboard, ended up finding a tap video
Thank you! :)
What do I need for the copper pipe to connect the flexi pipe once I cut it?
Already got isolator valves but they are before the bends (which seem to take a detour for some reason) Don't know what the plumber was smoking.
Sorry, I'm new to this.
Good video, thanks
Mo worries Dude! Glad to help anytime....if I can!

Helpful video... I am going to change a Kitchen tap, my first time... I have wrenches and things arriving... But I'd assumed I'd nead a sealent.... Is this not the case?
But you didn't show how you connected pipes you had cut at beginning?

Thank you mate take care.
watching you again later just a refresher hooooold tight take mate.
I love these video, and the first part of this is really helpful, however it only showed what happened where the tap fits. It brushes over the hot and cold pipe feed part of the job and as a novice I’d like to see how this is done please before I start - do you have a video that shows this part as well in some detail with a step by step? I don’t want be cutting pipes if I haven’t got a video showing how to put it all back together. Hope you can help as I love these videos and really helped when I refitted a toilet syphon recently
Thank you Sir
The piping under my sink coming from the old tap seems to go on forever and then joins to another pipe before i actually get to a connection. do i need to cut the pipe further up and add a connection? because i don't think a standard flexi will reach. btw love your videos.
