Hey👋Brian, just had to replace one in my kitchen sink. Of course, it took me just a little bit longer with all the cussing and throwing of certain tools and things🤣
AWESOME STUFF my friend!🪛Jay 🛠🪠👀🤣
😂 I totally get that bro. This was easy compared to a lot that I’ve done. One of my least favorite things in plumbing is taking off old crusty basket strainers. Thanks for the comments Jay. Have a great weekend.
Hey Brian not exactly the fix I was looking for. But gave me a good idea on what I need to do to fix the problem I'm having with my kitchen sink! Keep up the good work! Thanks for the help!!👍
I had the exact same issue! Very strange. Thanks for this video to walk me through the repair.
Thank you for your time and help I appreciate you 😊
I damaged my seal with oven cleaner. Ate away the plumbers putty. I knew beforehand that was a real possibility. Cold again so figured 14 degrees outside I would tackle this again. Just looking for anything I missed. Nice job. And I have a couple of those knives I use for woodworking and marking. Love them.
Thanks for the tips Brian! Easy fix now that I know how to do it. Also, like the mat with the alarm for any leak!
I know. I do as well. They really will save some cabinets. Thank you and have a great weekend.
Great video thank you. My sink is having the same problem with that nut barely threading on all of a sudden and has been such a problem. I consider myself handy but was going to call a plumber but I feel confident I can repair this myself with some help from my not-so-handy husband. ( we don't let him use tools) lol Thanks!!!!
Had the same thing happen. Replaced drain. No option. Will always wonder, "What the hey?!"
You sure do have a lot of friends!
Great angles and verbals to explain this repair. Thanks
Thank you John.
excellent work master
Most basic basket strainers use a tiny bit of stainless steel on the inside and the rest are junk (pot/white) metal. It doesn't take much for the basket and nut to expand/contract or for the threads to literally disintegrate over time. It's surprisingly common. If any moisture gets underneath it's almost guaranteed to wreck the basket strainer
That makes since and is such a bummer! Even the supply house ones I’ve seen have the pot metal nut. I’ll be on the look out now for a better quality
Great video Brian very strange about the basket. I had never seen a replacement basket before with screws like the one you used. 👍
It seems like it will work pretty good. I’m on a search now though. These things have gone way up in price. Hope you’ve had a great weekend Britt.
Had one fail just like that the other day! Discovered a drip under my sink....grrrr!
Great video. Could you maybe do a version where everything is corroded and apparently wood glued into place? Maybe have everything attached to it also corroded all the way to basement? Thanks! 🤣
Love your smile!
Any recommendations my base where my kitchen faucet knobs have chipped off
Looks like a good solution for my reoccurring issue. I was curious the brand you're using. I clicked the link you show but its the triangular bracket/flange version. Interested in the round flange version you're useing. ???? Label is not obvious in the video. Or at least not a familiar product that made me go oh that's a ............ Can you clarify the brand and source? Thanks for the info. Keep it up.
I recommend the style with the large cup underneath that you tighten down with the regular size nut. They're the easiest to install and remove. The big wide nut or the 3 screws make life a lot more complicated
I would have done that, but it was a little too long for this set up. I don’t like those, but have had the cups bend on me as well.
Hi, this is an excellent video. The only thing I would suggest is when you are talking about the large drain nut, you need to go into more detail regarding how tight that should be. I actually squeezed out all the plumbers putty before realizing that it was over tightened. I would suggest that with each slight turn that you run the water to check for leaks after all is assembled. Honestly, depending on your strength level, you may be able to get away with hand tightening. However, with that drain wrench you really have to be careful of over tightening because there is not much resistance to adequately gauge the tightness factor. Otherwise this was an EXCELLENT video.
another quality made Chinese part I wonder if it was always loose or loosened over time.
I see they have garbage disposer cleaner have you tried those glisten packets; it is fun watching the stuff foam up in sink
I’ve never tried those things, but I will have to ask him if I can try one out. Short on the way 😆. It had loosen over time, I just don’t know how.
I’ve changed out the basket 3 x’s still leaks. Do I not tighten the basket nut tight enough? As I tighten of course more plumbers putty oozes out so I’m afraid all the putty is gone or should I not worry about it oozing out. The basket and threads are fine, it’s the paper / rubber gasket I keep changing out.3x ‘s! It’s a pain? Any suggestions how tight it needs to be or what am I doing wrong?
Great video problem solved
Never seen one with that round collar. I did one that had the 3 bolts on a stamped triangular collar like a garbage disposal mount. One of the ears of the collar bent as I overtightened it. Round looks like a better design.
Yeah this seems to be a better set up than the triangle version. Kohler makes a great version, but it is double the price.
After so many years there still is not a complete standard and many surprises are to be found under the sink
Just had this same exact problem with the nut ring sliding right over the threads 🙄
i just did this today and mine did the same thing, i thought the threads were corroded away but they are not. very strange. i think that nut stretches over time.
Those drain nuts fail frequently, they will split, I've had two in the last 10 years that split in half.
Probably made of inferior materials?
Also it doesn't help that I purchased both times at big box hardeware stores, I have found that Ace Hardware tends to have better quality products, as well as original parts you usually can't find at big box once they change out models, such as water heaters etc. Good old Ace Hardware usually carries it.
careful with tht knife there. Scraping carbon steel against Stainless Steel can cause rust. If down the road you see that it did, and can spot little rust spots, use Iron Out. A good long soak overnight, and it will re-passivate the stainless and strip way any free iron.
I GOT THAT PROBLEM
I DON'T KNOW IF THE DRAINER
IT'S TO SMALL .SOMETHING
IT'S NOT EVEN...
Plumbers putty 👎silicone 👍
I’ve been wanting to try out silicone gaskets.
I don't think Americans find that very appealing
Chinese garbage. ITs been the same way with car part for 30 years...
Good fix … I would high recommend using the thicker baskets they are better quality and seal up better also use drain kits from a plumbing supplier as the PVC is a thicker material and has better seals … no drips means no cabinet and floor damage in your future.. 🇺🇸👊🏼🔨🪚🇺🇸✌🏼
I kinda was in shock at how much basket strainers went up. I feel like they all use to be brass and now they are stainless and pot metal. I need to go see what other supply houses have beside Ferguson. Thank you for your comments Fred. Have a great weekend.
@@ThatFixItGuy
Brian I will check what brand I prefer using and I’ll let you know I’ll run down to the shop today and see what the brand name is they are great to use with no flex and yes the prices have sky rocketed since 2020 I think Ferguson is just carrying what they can now to be price competitive… I do get some of my plumbing supplies from them still
@@ThatFixItGuy yeah Ferguson is definitley going to cost you. Their prices have gotten outrageous, you have to price shop around nowadays
