Thank you! We could not have installed our new vanity and faucet without your help. 15 of these views are ours!!
Hahaha, nice and happy to help! Welcome to the channel 🙌
I would have never figured this out with just the instructions that came with the faucet. Thanks!
I just bought this for about $80.00 because things are more expensive in Canada. It looks like really good quality compared to the flimsy faucet I had on for years. We have very hard water here full of calcium and other minerals and cheap taps do not last long. Tired of always having to remove the cartridges to replace washers in the old turn taps. I could do it with the instructions, but I hate it when the instructions are included for more models. It takes a few minutes to figure out you have a different model/parts although it does say there are some differences in installation.
Was only going to replace the taps but since the drain is included too, might as well do the works Your demo confirms exactly how I thought it would go, but nice to have confirmation. Thanks.
Thanks for the clear instructions. I have seen other DIY clips of yours on YT. Including this one, I really appreciated how deliberate you were as you walked through each of them and did not have your soothing voice compete with any background music. Anyway, I was researching how to replace a drop-in bathroom sink and this one was among them; it quickly caught my eyes because I was familiar with its author and I had the same faucet, but in brushed nickel (bought in 6/2023).
You're a good teacher. I like the step by step approach.
This is an excellent video. Superb. I have done plumbing projects like these for years but today I am doing exactly what you did on a Moen faucet at my mom‘s house and now I have a lot more confidence for the whole process. Thank you so much!
So helpful. I'm going to rewatch this multiple times until I'm confident I can do this. Thanks!
I bought this same faucet and then found you! I had no idea how to do this so thanks for holding my hand through each step. Fantastic video!!
Thanks for the video and the helpful demonstration and explanation. I installed mine today. Luckily, everything went fine. No leaks so far. Also, good idea to use a paint roller pan to catch the water. Good tip.
a fantastic job I learned a DIY sink job today that will help me avoid the scammer plumbers, Thank You.
Excellent instruction. I especially the close-up views, which really helped me with my installation of the Moen Adler. The space under and around my vanity was very cramped, with a divider post between two doors, and I could reach up high behind the sink only with my left hand (I'm right-handed). My faucet came not with large hand-tighten nuts but with two short angle-iron bars, cylindrical spacers to go around the faucet's threaded mounting extensions, and 7/16 nuts. The holes in the sink were too small to permit pre-assembly above the sink and dropping the bars through the holes by tipping them at an angle, as suggested in Moen's instructions, so I had to do the assembly from below, with one hand. Impossible! I finally cut some thin strips of Scotch tape and taped together the stack of nut, spacer, and bar, which worked very well.
My biggest problem of the day, however, was trying to unscrew the old drain flange from the old metal drain pipe. WD-40 helped me to loosen the gasket nut and screw it to its lowest position, so that I could raise the flange above the sink bottom enough to clamp a vise-grip to it, but WD-40 still didn't loosen the drain flange, even after about an hour of soaking. After much frustration, I finally remembered to pray and ask my Heavenly Father for help. Instantly I remembered that I had learned, as a chemist, that most metal carbonates are decomposed by heat. (Hard water deposits are hydrated carbonates of mostly calcium and magnesium). I inserted a screwdriver from above to prop one side of the flange away from the sink and heated that side with a propane torch. I cooled it back down with a hair dryer on the cold setting (water would probably have cracked the sink), rotated the flange 180 degrees, and repeated. The old drain flange came right off!
Glad it was helpful! Best of luck on the install if you haven't already completed the project. 👍
Excellent instructional video! I like your slow detailed presentation.
Thanks so much for this! I am replacing the same faucet with this same replacement! Huge help! Thanks again!
Thanks so much for the slow patient description.
Thanks for the video. I'm about to attempt to install a faucet and my husband usually does it. He is now in hospice so I've been trying to tackle the things he once did because, as you said, it's cheaper than having to call in a plumber. I found out where the main shut off is, it's under my house, which I will never go but he told me I could shut it off from the street if I needed to. Your instruction was very helpful to me and I plan to go join your facebook group.
I am really sorry to hear about your husband and can only image the challenges you are facing. Let me know if you have any specific questions I can help with as you work through this projects. The Facebook group helps as then we can exchanges images and videos to get your project completed. God bless you and your family.
@@EverydayHomeRepairs Hi, I was in the same situation as Bast Orchid Erzulie and have a 4plex rental and thought I'd just try to tackle this stuff on my own. Your videos have been helpful. Looking into the new "pop-up" drains to replace the plunger type drains....
Thank You. Your video made doing the job much easier for me.
Excellent tutorial. Great instructor.
ve
Very helpful, explained clearly each step as it was being done and the videos were helpful to actually see each step. Thankyou so much.
Thanks, one of the best do it your self videos.
This was a great beginners video for me to change my own facet out to a new one. Thanks 😀
saved me some plumber trip and labor fees -- thanks!
That is what we are here for 👊
Thank you so much for great instructions and I got his same faucet and able install perfectly with your help!
Good Job!!!!
Happy to help!
I’ve seen your videos before wow, that shirt color makes your eyes pop. Great video.
Excellent video! I purchased the exact the same bathroom faucet in brushed nickel. I feel confident that I can replace all 4 sinks!
You got this!
Thank you so much for the video. It was very helpful. I'm going to attempt to change my taps today. Fingers crossed
Best of luck on the project!
Great videos thank you for teaching us:)
Super helpful videos! I watched one of your others a bunch of times to figure out how to change out the, what is it, the ball joint rod(?).
excellent video!!!
Thank you for the teachings
Very clear cut explanation!
Excellent video, Thank you so much
Hey. When you cut off the pipe, you should clean it by sanding or gently smooth the pipe so hair and other particles won't easily get stopped by the jagged edges from the cut. it would somewhat prevent it from clogging the drain. Overall, well done!
Good point. That's what I did today.
Totally unnecessary when buying/installing other manufacturers.
I cut that Pipe like a Wet Fart.
@@jo-annfat-bricks2471 That's probably what came out of the pipe when you did
@@idmhead0160 😮
❤ the
The EXACT video I was looking for! 👍
Great video! Thanks!
Nicely explained, thanks for the video.
You're welcome!
Great video. I was thinking I'd have to replace my entire sink, but if the drain can be swapped out I don't need to do that. My fixture has had a broken hot water knob for about 8 years now, and it looks like something I could do myself.
i like that vanity a lot!
Thanks Bill, for the money it was a pretty cost effective improvement to an older (but solid) vanity. Here is the link www.menards.com/main/bath/bathroom-vanities-tops/vanity-tops/tuscany-reg-37-x-22-white-square-vanity-top/mc90375/p-1493619752584-c-8403.htm?tid=-1&ipos=15
Thanks for this useful video well explained.
Very informative video dear friend thanks
Excellent tutorial video; thanks so much!
You bet!
Nice video. Now looking for the one for installation of shut off valve.
Very helpful!
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you
Good vid bro
Awesome, thanks for doing this buddy.
You bet!
I bought the taps, watched your video yesterday and installed in both bathrooms upstairs with no issues. Great guide put to good use. Again thanks for making the video.
Thanks so much!!!
Great video! I’m about to install my faucet tomorrow. I thought I should use some plumbers putty between the plastic gasket and the vanity top? I removed my old faucet today and it had a whole layer of plumbers putty. Also the Moen instructions tell you to do so. Is that optional?
Nice video!
Great video
thanks a lot, it helped me a lot.
We are here to help 👍
Thanks. Was very informative. One question…what to do “if” this leaks thru overflow hole??
Were is that video you talked about changing or replacing the shut off valves under the sink? I have a setup like that and both of them seemed to be stripped because they turn but the water still comes out.
Good job brother
Thanks
Need putty for main faucet area to vanity surface or is supplied gasket good enough? Also, should I use Teflon tape for supply lines? Thanks, and great vid
Thanks. For some reason, I've been calling the brand "Sa-Moen".
Great video, I have the same faucet. It was installed 2months ago and just noticed that the left handle is loose and wobbly. Is there a way to tighten it?
This is a good video. I agree with the positive comments here n will probably watch again once our project starts.
We removed a 50 yr old sink n vanity. New unit will be a no overflow solid sink/top. My question is are there any no overflow drains that can be connected to the rear push/pull lever of a faucet that would normally be connected to an overflow drain? Or are we stuck literally pushing the drain directly? Thanks in advance.
Good vid bro
The rod that lifts the drain running from back of faucet mine came bend is it supposed to be like that
Excellent video, thank you! Can you recommend how much to tight the connector from the faucet to the water supply. Will over tightening cause an issue?
Premature fracture of the gasket. You want to snug those PLASTIC parts together. Have fun
It is known that plumber's putty in time will have adverse effects when used on plastic, therefore only 100% pure silicone should be used.
Hi, I installed and noticed a ring of standing water around the drain. Wondering what could be the cause and if there’s a remedy.
So there’s no need for thread tape or anything else when connecting the water lines? I ask because I will also be needing to replace my kitchen faucet. Thanks
I bought this sink not realizing my current water lines were too short to reach the faucet connection. Is there a certain size waterline and connector that I need to buy?
I just installed the Adler but noticed the drain stem doesn’t seat well at the top and looking from the under side, I could see where a bit of water could leak through. Any help with this? Thanks
I installed a moen darcy faucet. I used the existing p trap and tan into the issue of having not enough length on the drain. Opposed to you having too much and having to cut it
I installed my Moen pretty much the same way but my drain is leaking at the sink. I noticed in this video that there is a disc between the bottom drain nut and sink gasket but my Adler WS84503 didn't have one.
hi, i have a moen faucet that has a corroded pop-up lavatory drain stopper and seat cover. I would like to just replace the seat cover and the popup drain stopper mechanism. How would I do that? Do I need to completely break down the pipe to replace? Thanks!
As I get ready to install 3 Adler faucets in my bathrooms. I was glad to see your video. I saw on your drain assembly that there was a friction washer above the nut and below the rubber gasket , my single lever Adler came without a friction washer, is that OK???? should I get one or make one?? or spray a little WD40 to let the nut slip a bit as it contacts the gasket as I turn the nut??
the friction washer is used to evenly put pressure on the rubber gasket to take into account of the threads pitch. I suppose the gasket would need to be at at least the thickness in between the threads. Your point is interesting but I do not believe that gasket will turn once taught.
What do you do if water is coming out on top on sink around the faucet where it is mounted on the sink?
Thanks for the guide but how did you get your old drain assembly out? Magic?
I'm assuming he cut it off with a hack saw. It was metal pipe to begin with.
Good video but I would rather NOT use the plastic water supply lines but the metal lines
I have watched 4 different installs. None of the four suggested removing the aerator for a while before opening the supply lines to prevent clogging up the aerator.
Hi. You used a hacksaw because the drain pipe was too long. What do you do if the drain pipe is too short?
And what do you do if there is a leak through the pee trap or any small leaks through the water hose
Hi Silvino, I would expect you have some connections which need to be tightened a bit more. Remember at each connection on the p-trap there should be a washer and nut. Some time people leave out the washer which can lead to a leak.
What about the drain control part?
I thought only stain free plumber's putty could be used with a plastic drain?
Currently I have a new Moen drain piece that leaked, so I replaced the plumber's putty and used 100% silicone. Problem is the silicone won't set up. It's still soft after four days. Is that because it's expired? If I try installing the gasket and nut below the sink, I feel certain that it will leak.
who cares, it's under the sink lol
you got the silicone wet. Needs 24hrs dry at least to cure.
No Teflon tape needed?
You have no choice but the loop
How to install a pedestal sink with a base
Hey John, are you replacing an old pedestal with a new one or swapping out a normal 24 inch wide vanity for a pedestal sink?
No Teflon tape? A open end wrench works better for tightening water lines.
Hey Joe, which fitting would you have used Teflon tape on?
@@EverydayHomeRepairs I used it on both sides of the two water supply lines. Did so when replacing other faucets in my house. It caused no issues and the brass fittings seated easier.
You skipped the entire step of how to disconnect the flapper from the pipe.
I came to this point and lose the gaskets including the metal one but because of the hole which connects pivot bar, I am stuck on how to remove the last drain piece. It is a metal pipe.
Is it OK 2 grease the pipe threads?
I'm frustrated and about to call a plumber. The very first nut I try to unscrew will not budge at all. And besides, I don't have all those fancy tools you have and I cant buy them because they are too expensive.
Make your life easier, buy Delta. This Moen configuration makes a whole lot of (inaccurate) assumptions about p-trap alignment. Hacksaw'ed pipe is going to catch a whole lot of clog producing hair.
Dude, you did not show how to remove the drain pipe. Also, the tools you use, are you kidding me. Not a good video.
Thanks for the feedback Joe.
Yes, getting the old, rotten drain line out can be the most difficult part of the job!
How did you remove the drain/stopper???? All of a sudden it was gone!?!
Thank you
