Echoing everyone else’s gratitude here. My first time installing a faucet on my own and I was lost with Deltas instructions. Found your video and it made more sense. Thanks!

[@DrBDIY]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@therealchrisrauch]

The install manual sucked I'm so glad you posted this. Thank you!

[@DrBDIY]

Sure thing.

I am not normally a commenter, but want to say thank you for this video. I’m not sure why Delta includes the instructions that they do because the instructions don’t apply to this faucet. Really appreciate it.

[@DrBDIY]

Thanks. Happy to help.

Maaan…. Thank you so much for this video. Very helpful. Instructions are completely useless. This video helped a whole lot!

[@DrBDIY]

You're welcome!

Thanks for posting. Just a few suggestions. You said you forgot to mark the hot and water lines. Hot water coming through the wall is always on the left side. You also said you added a "C-clamp" to the hose, but that is actually a hose clamp. A C- clamp is the shape of a C. As for trying to drill a bigger hole through a small one with a spade bit, Just jam a piece of wood underneath so you can stick the point of the drill into the wood.

@markvanhome1822 thank you for the thoughtful comments. I appreciate them. And you are correct. On the bigger / small hole, I learned to attach both circular hole bits together. The small one fits the small hole and aligns the bigger bit to drill bigger hole. Thanks!

Thank you so much. The instructions were worthless. You saved me so much time. First time I've ever installed a faucet. Appreciate you!

[@DrBDIY]

Glad it helped!

[@lesliedenino373]

Thank you for your video. We purchased a faucet that was a different brand than in your video and the installation instructions inside the box were not the model we purchased. We watched your video and it was a big help!

[@DrBDIY]

Great to hear!

[@davidcrandon2329]

Although there is nothing wrong with using the hose clamp to try to keep the weight higher up on the hose, it isn't needed. The weight works just fine hanging there.

[@DrBDIY]

Yes, mine was all tangled below so I needed the weight.

Excellent video helped me a lot
Just want to point out I first put the nut then screw that best I could and then use screwdriver to push that metal plate a little bit more it worked

[@DrBDIY]

Great 👍

[@DrBDIY]
