Here’s everything I use to film my videos, including cameras, lights, microphones and more: kit.co/nilsyni...
I just installed a new kitchen faucet thanks to your video, can’t wait for my husband to get home, he will be shocked! 😂
This video was sooo simple to follow. The plumber wanted $600 to do what this chap taught me to do in 30 minutes. Exactly the info I needed. Thank you; brilliant video.
600 is insane? I'm a handy person and charge $25!
@SandiKaplan. Same here. I paid over $200 for a new faucet and then was quoted a price of $400 "minimum" by the plumber. I'm going to install it myself. I feel confident that I can do it.
Wow plumbers reeeeeally want to take advantage of a simple 15 minute job for them. Shameful.
So wrong
I can't imagine how hard it was to film in such a cramped space. To do that AND have excellent lighting AND a clear picture?! Amazing. Fantastic video
Single mom here and thanks to you my 16 year old son was able to replace our kitchen faucet. Thank you!!!
I learned how to change a facuet with this video, and no Dads yelled at me for holding the flashlight wrong 10/10
Same lol
😂
Although I'm curious who held LRN2DIY's flashlight
It's like we all have a the same dad 😂
@@lucariojet I hired a kid on Craigslist so I could yell at him since my son was working.
My 14-year-old grandson installed my faucet after watching this video, No problems, no leaks. Thank you, thank you!!!
That’s impressive!
Everything mentioned in this video was exactly what I needed to know and every step was spot on. Took me 42 minutes, first project like this I've ever attempted. Thanks!!!
So glad to hear it and nice job on your project!
I saw the video, now I'm going to muster up the courage to attempt it. Fingers crossed 🤞!! Awesome video, detailed and step by step, just like I needed. Thank you!🙏
Every time something in my home breaks, I call my Dad to help. I'm 29 years old, and even though my Dad is amazing, he's getting older and his hands are rittled with arthritis and working on things is becoming more and more difficult. Thank you for making this video! I feel so much less intimidated by fixing my kitchen sink. ❤ I cant wait to get it done and show him next time he comes for a visit.
Did you do it???
I need female encouragement
!
Remember, sometimes dads want to know you're competent but still want to feel needed. It's a balance.
@risingsunpsychothera I am getting ready to do mine. Did you?
You just described my experience. Same age same dad type ❤
@@risingsunpsychothera I'm 26 and grew up with no family since I was placed in foster care so I have had to learn how to do stuff like this by watching amazing videos like these. If I can do it I know you can. It is nice to be independent and know how to do these things. Do be careful and practice and it will become less scary to do similar things overtime.
Thank you so much for this video. We saved $700 on the installation by a plumber and instead did it ourselves. Feels great to be self-sufficient!
ive been using this example for over 2 and a half years now.
ive replaced faucets in all kinds of places! houses, RVs, apartments... hell, i had one lady build an entire room for a sink area just so i could install this faucet!
but it seems that no matter how many faucets ive changed out, i can never replace the faucet of love that was my wife who left me after she subscribed to your channel... the last thing i remember her telling me as she packed up her belongings and our 3 children was "im leaving you for a real DIY man." and then slammed the door so hard it cracked the walls on either side of the door frame.
good thing im ALSO subscribed to your channel.
ill be on the look out for more drywall repair videos now.
Thanks!
Hey!! I did it! My kitchen faucet was decades old and stopped working. I called a plumber who gave me an estimate, and I almost fell out of my chair. So, I found this video and…out with the old, in with the new! You rock! Thank you so much.
Lol! How much was the estimate?
Im here for the same reason! 😊
I hot an estimate for $195 💀
around here the big hardware stores, like home depot and lowes, want anywhere from $230 to $390. western chi suburbs
Hayzooz Christy! Very straight and to the point. Not like yt videos were you gotta meet the entire family first. Thanks
Thank you so much for these videos. We are not very financially well off so we can't afford to hire professionals. We were able to replace our kitchen faucet with the guidance of this video. You don't know how much of a blessing this has been. Our next project is replacing a toilet. Looking forward to that. God bless you.
I’m a 52 year old mother, and my kitchen faucet just broke after about 15 years… so now that I’ve seen your video,I’m extremely positive I can replace it myself! 🎉🎉 You just saved me over $100 bucks! Thanks man!! Im definitely subscribing to your channel!!😎👏🏼👊🏼🎉👍🏼
You got this! I wish you all the best and thanks so much for watching!
Who quoted you $100 bucks to replace this because someone just quoted me $350 lol
Besides the removal of the bolt nut, was probably 45 minutes! The other three hours was struggling with the corroded nut (older setup than this, so it was a big metal thing around the whole setup). For those who get in the same situation: wd40 and then leave overnight. In the morning I was able to finally loosen it the rest of the way! Hope that saves someone hours in a cramped hopeless effort to unscrew a corroded bolt!

Yes, and in addition I took my wireless dremel tool and used a small cutting wheel to cut a standard slot in the old bolts which rounded off due to excessive rust - once a 3mm slot was cut into the old bolts, a standard screw driver was able to remove the bolts -
Thanks to you I installed my new kitchen faucet . You made it simple enough for me to give it a try! NO LEAKS!!!
This video was just what I needed and it saved me a lot of money. Thanks
Thank you! Thank you!!!! My husband is out of the country so I had to take out the old and install the new! With your vid, I did it!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!
EXCELLENT video.
I can’t stand when people feel the need to repeat themselves or include completely useless info.
This was to the point, clear video and told me just what I needed… nothing more nothing less.
OK, I'm about to give it a try. You made it look simple, we'll see how simple it is for me. 🙂 I go into this with cautions optimism.
UPDATE: 2 hours later, I'm done. Thanks. Took me a little longer, as my old faucet assembly wasn't quite the same as the one you showed; there was some corrosion, as well as a couple of other problems, thus I had to improvise, nonetheless, the new one went on smoothly and your general instructions for a non-plummer for removal were great. Thanks again. God bless.
I’m the kind of girl who replaces everything in my home myself and this video helped me install my new faucet in 20 minutes. You gave very thorough instructions that are so easy to follow, thank you for this video it was very helpful.
I am 40 years old and a new home owner and this made it so easy to change the faucet. Thank you!
Thank you! I just removed my old faucet and installed my new Moen faucet with your help!
Just replaced my faucet with a new one I got off amazon. I also purchased a "telescoping basin wrench" as the set screw that was previously on the old faucet was very hard to reach and tightly bound to the faucet. Very challenging to remove, and required some WD 40 to loosen it up, but the instructions in this video still applied. Thank you for the detailed yet concise video!
Wow... thank you SO much. My ex boyfriend was supposed to do this for me, but now I feel like I can do it myself. Empowering - thanks again!
Been 15 years for a new faucet for my house. Actually bought the same one. Thanks for the video helped me a ton!
Super helpful, thank you! I got my faucet changed out. I did have to fight a very rusty wingnut, but everything you provided here was super helpful.
Hey! I just want to thank you for your excellent, easy to follow video! I changed out our dated faucet with a new Moen and my wife was very impressed! Everything went smoothly thanks to you! Much appreciated!🎉
Nice work!
was a bit worried about replacing my faucet, now I'm ready. thanks for the clear and easy to follow video.
Thanks to this video, I was able to remove my old faucet and intall my new one with ZERO problems. You saved me hundreds of dollars since I didn't have to call a plumber. Thank you so much!!!
Last time I installed a kitchen faucet was nearly 20 years ago. Your video was concise and simple. I bought a highly rated inexpensive WEWE faucet from Amazon which came with the water supply lines already designed into the unit. With your video it took me less than 20 minutes to install . . Took me 30 minutes to UNinstall the old faucet. Thank you! I’m a subscriber!
That's what I bought, WEWE, wish me luck, it's my 1st time installing a faucet. "Looks simple" famous last words. 😂
Had never changed a faucet before. Watched your video and, even though the faucet designs were slightly different, was able to knock it out in 30 minutes thanks to your overview. Cheers!
This video is really helpful. After watching it I was better able to make sense of the written instructions that came with my new faucet and to install it correctly without hassle.
the instructions in this video were much clearer than the instructions that came with my new faucet. first time ever installing a faucet and it was a breeze thanks to your video!
I've been putting off a kitchen faucet replacement for longer than I'd like to admit because I was too intimidated to start the project. But the old faucet started to literally fall apart this past week, so my hand was forced lol. I watched this video and felt confident that I could actually do something like this by myself. The removal of my old faucet was the hard part (took about 90 mins of struggling with old parts and a tiny workspace), but I flew through the installation of the new faucet using this video as a supplement to the written instructions. It took about 30-40 minutes to install -- a walk in the park! Thank you for this wonderful video!
Same here! I'll be doing this later today haha.
Thank you SO much for this video! I needed to replace my kitchen faucet, but other instructional videos made it seem too complicated for my beginner-level DIY skills. After watching yours through, I built up enough confidence to give it a try. So glad I did! The hardest part was actually disconnecting the old weight, but even with struggling with a few of the old parts, I installed my new faucet all by myself in under an hour! :D You just saved me about $300 in plumbing fees, and built up my knowledge and confidence. To anyone considering trying this yourself, I think you should! Just make sure you're limber enough to get up under the sink. ;)
Way to go!
Thanks! This helped me especially realizing that the water connections are righty loosey instead.
Thank you so much for this video! I just installed a new faucet! First time ever!Made my day
Best installation video I have watched hands down. Thank you for explaining in such details. I did a great job install my new faucet watching this.
Exactly what i needed. Thanks for the great and simple to follow video.
New faucets are nicely engineered and east to install. Getting the old one out can be a problem though, if it's been in there for a while. Dealing with corrosion, lime buildup, and rusted or damaged threads complicates the removal, especially when working in a confined space with a garbage disposal unit in the way.
Great video, clear and well presented. Love the added detail around possible issues beyond the streamlined version. The old leaky valve issue is right on and a way valuable detail, especially when they're soldered right against the back wall!
Nice tutorial! Saved us some money not calling a plumber. Quick note for anyone replacing a Delta faucet - the main plate nut on our 2018 model was too big for the Moen plastic sleeve. So we had to buy a basin wrench at Harbor Freight. Was a bit tricky getting it off, but after some profanity we got it removed!
Unless you screw the plumber, this is not going to come cheap, Thanks to your video I managed to save $700....So simple and straight forward
I changed my faucet and this video made is so easy I didn't think I could do it but I did it!! Thank you
Gonna take this on today. Thank you for the step by step guide. Looks very doable!!
Just finished.. longest part was taking out the old faucet. That fastener nut was a doozy.. sheesh. Thanks again! 😊
Your video helped me change my faucet in no time! Thank you!
@@jeremymileski4317 That’s so great to hear! Nice job!
Just used this to install my sister’s Moen Georgene. Worked perfectly!! Thank you!
I was mentally prepared to cry for hours trying to do this myself but your video made everything so easy and smooth and like your speaking voice is high key calming af so it was as pleasantly as listening to a podcast I got this done in like 20 minutes and no tears shed so slay sir
This video was perfect for removal and installation of my kitchen sink. I followed along step by step and nothing was left out. 10 out of 10.😃
This was so easy. Thank you so much for posting. This. Way easier than a lot of other videos I have found.
Thank you! I changed my first faucet! I had a headlamp which made everything much easier. My new faucet was simpler, too.
Thank you for the tutorial! Great job! I learned a lot from this video.
This might be the greatest tutorial I have ever watched
I watched four different videos I'm being honest with you I got so confused until I watched your video I believe I can do this myself at least I'm praying I can LOL I will let you know how everything goes Thank you for taking your time posting this video
Adding this to my list of skills I can now do, thanks RUclips! Saved me a lot of money on not having to hire a plumber!
I just used a spark plug removal tool that worked perfectly to remove that bolt!!
Great video. It only took me 38 minutes to pull out and replace our faucet. Just as he described. Thank you.
Thank you for this video! It was incredibly helpful, and the new faucet is running great. Perfection!
So glad to hear it!
Really appreciate this video. One of the best videos out there about how to replace the kitchen faucet. Short and on point. Not a lot of talking. This saved me so much time and money. I didn’t even read the instruction manual that came with the kitchen faucet because this video made the the installation so much simpler!
This was awesome - changed out my faucet with a brush nickel MOEN from Home Depot. Great video and made it easy for me to do - but not 30 minutes - :)
Do your bathroom faucet next, you'll be a pro.
brushed nickel MOEN? so in other words you were so dazzled by the fancy looking faucet that you didn't care that it was the 2nd most expensive one in the whole store?
@@dudef594 Got it on sale with military discount 👌
Thanks man! I changed my kitchen faucet myself watching this tutorial. I’m so proud of myself
I just installed my kitchen faucet while watching this tutorial! Excellent step by step explanation.
Great job explaining how to change a faucet! The video is very professional. I have never attempted to change a faucet before, but I will now. You are a good teacher, and I should know because I am one. 👍
My friend, you JUST saved my life! Thank you! I put on a different brand that was very similar and this video was a God Send! Cheers and thank you!
Maravilloso e instructivo video. Muchísimas Gracias 🙏🏻 Saludos desde Cali, Colombia 🇨🇴
2 years later and this video was a lifesaver lol….thanks man amazing step by step installation 👌🏾💯
Beautifully explained!!
Excellent instructions. Thank you!
Replaced Moen Kitchen faucet using this Video, very clean. Thank you very much
this is the best video for replacing a faucet, no doubt. made it easy and understandable. thanks
This was the BEST video! Excellent instruction! I did it! I really can’t believe I replaced the kitchen faucet and didn’t have to call a plumber! Thank you! Thank you so much!
Way to go! That’s awesome to hear.
Thank you sir! Made this very simple and easy to do!
Thank you for the video! My Daughter and I did this in no time at all!
Just replaced a leaking Ikea faucet with a gorgeous new Moen thanks to your clear, concise video. Thank you so much!
Love this faucet! I've been using it for a day now after installing it myself (no professional experience, casual DIYer. Took about 2 hours in total, from removing the old faucet to fully up and running with the Moen 7594EC).
Installation was very easy and straight forward for even a novice, as long as your follow the [very easy to read] step-by-step instructions. Came with everything needed, including batteries for the power supply (AC power supply sold separately).
I only have experience with a much cheaper bathroom touchless faucet and I must say the Moen 7594EC kitchen faucet is far, far superior! I guess you get what you pay for. It's a quality unit and the motion detector is far superior to my other one. Momentary activation comes on easily without having to "play around" with the sensor to find were it'll activate, and it stays on long enough momentarily to keep a constant stream when you need it, and shuts off promptly afterwards. In comparison, my bathroom (non Moen) faucet is just a headache to use sometimes. The motion detection is very off and on (no pun intended), not really staying on long enough to be useful. To get it to stay on longer (a feature), is very cumbersome. On the Moen 7594EC, there's also a second sensor on top of the unit that turns on a steady stream for when you need it. It does turn off automatically again though, after a very extended period of time (safety feature in case of inadvertent activation).
Really looking forward to using this unit for some time to come. The added benefits of hands free are numerous, suffice to say at the very least, you won't get handles contaminated with bacteria after handling raw food, for example!
I highly recommend the Moen 7594EC, from ease of installation to the practicality and performance of the product! amzn.to/3Kurz0s
Thanks! This video showed me how to remove and install my Moen faucet with key steps emphasized. Great video!
Omg I was freaking out to change my kitchen faucet. It’s look so easy now. Thx for super easy video to understand whole process
Perfect video. Proud of myself for changing a faucet
This really gave me the extra confidence I needed to knock out my project. Thank you!
My old faucet was so old I still had separate supply lines. This new moen is so much easier. I had memories of having to thread two separate connections.
This video was sooo helpful! Thanks for all your videos, I remember watching the first one of yours way back when you teaching us how to run cables behind the wall. Now that I am a homeowner I will be watching a ton more I am sure.
It’s easy to change a new faucet. Looks like the one you took out was barely used. Warn people about that!!!!! You explained it well. Thanks
I changed my faucet today with a model very similar that you shown, and your video was very helpful. Thanks!
Thanks for the clear, helpful video. Just replaced my faucet and your instructions were perfect!
Thank you. I just replaced my faucet thanks to you 👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks for the video, big help. I am able to replace the broken parts.
Huge help replacing my sink. Thanks for the instruction!
Thanks to this video it only took me 45 minutes to install the faucet. Thank you!
Great video! Thank you! Removing my faucet was a breeze thanks to this video.
I like how you fully walked through and demonstrated all the steps while keeping it moving and not droning on. Great video editing. You won yourself a new sub 👍
this helped me s good deal thank you, especially the part that the water connections are righty loosey instead to unhook the old faucet
Thanks so much excellent teacher . And if I may say so myself I did a good job learning from the best.
Great video. Exactly what I did. Didn’t come your video until after ai had done the installation. Instructions that came replacement was a bit vague but I managed to get it done somehow. Had a leaking quick connect from the previous Moen faucet. Problem solved with swap out faucet. Could have mentioned that Moen has a lifetime warranty policy where they sent me the replacement as part of that policy. Great customer service. No hassle.
Very clear and complete description!
Spouse here! Plumber quoted me $800 to replace the faucet. Followed your video and it was a success. Thanks!!! 🙌
That’s an insane amount! Way to DIY that!
Thanks so much for this video, I replaced my kitchen faucet all by myself.
You made me proud of myself 😊
i just replaced our kitchen faucet using this video for the 1st time!!
thank you!!!
This was very helpful while we installed our new Moen faucet! Thank you!
Awesome easy to follow video. Just replaced my kitchen faucet. Thank you.
