How to Replace a Washer in a Leaky Faucet For Dummies
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 лют 2009
- Repairing a leaky faucet usually requires replacing a washer. Conserving water and avoiding a professional plumber in one DIY home-improvement project? This video shows you how to fix a leaky faucet by replacing the washer.
This was perfect for me. I've done this before, but needed a refresher just to make sure I was doing everything I needed to.
However, my shut-off valves below the sink were stuck in the open position. Even after taking off the handles and using pliers, I could not get one to turn off for fear of actually breaking it. I had to turn of the main water supply to my house. Luckily it was in a convenient location. (I ended up replacing that valve, too, as well as the washer - might as well with the water supply off.) But beware: In some older homes, like my last, the main water shutoff doesn't work, either. In that case (as it appears in my current house), I would probably get a plumber to install a new one. In my current house, it looks like a plumber installed a lever a couple of feet up from the old main shut-off valvle. He cut into the copper pipe to install the lever - something I would not be comfortable to do.
Great help to me.... explaining about the valve body... cupped or flat made me get the right seal... thank you... May Jesus Bless You
Thank you very much for this video...i searched the internet and nothing helped until i seen this!!! now my sink is leak free.
I have the same type of faucet, with three rubber washers total - two on the stem removed and the one underneath. I happened to have the other two in my shop, and changed them out, but it still dripped. Went to the hardware store and bought the washers you installed (on the bottom) and that fixed it. Thanks!
Followed your instructions and replaced both valves. Thank you.
Thank you. This was beautifully clear.
Add a little plumbers grease or valve grease to the o-ring that goes around the valve and the rubber washer itself to help stop leaks.
THANK YOU!!!! I sure needed this help!!!! So glad I saw your video!!
Easy to follow with a couple of good tips to make the job easier. Thanks!
There is a difference between the materials that the cold water washers and hot water side washers (as well as the stem) are made out of. This is left out of almost every video that is made.
Washers made for hot water are made of more durable material and the rubber is harder.
This could save a lot of redoing of job over and over, because the cold water washer on hot side, keeps wearing out.
They should point this out if they claim to be an expert. This is how they stay in business.
Thanks!!
Very good video. No sound needed
Any tricks to the rubber washer ?
Thanks! This helped me fix our faucet.
Thanx man, you saved me a plumber call GENO
thanks so much for the demo. I watched another one prior to this one and it was not as informative as this one.
Thank you very much, I have learned something new with you
That bottom washer with the spring is giving me fits. Spent more time talking about how it works than showing how to install it.
What happened if the water supply is off but it's still dripping?
What about kitchen sinks that have cartridges? Do they have washers or do I have to change the whole cartridge? I am asking before I take it apart because cartridges have to be ordered and I have to shut off the main because there is no Individual sink shut off
I also used plumbers putty around the new valve bc my faucets are twenty years old and not completely smooth
if i shut off my shut off valve and it still dripps, is it still safe to take apart the faucet????!!?!?
i turned off the water supply. then i took out the washer. to see how big it was. and then wen i turn the water supply back on, the water supply switch started leaking. wat should i do now?
The video seemed perfect. My prob: The white plastic valve won't come off (either tap). Using the suggestion in the video didn't work; the plastic stem in each valve revolves uselessly, independent of the whole valve. Any ideas? Thanx...
that little rubber washer can be very difficult to put back in. he just skipped right over that step.
Just to let you know I put one in you can do it without the spring all you got to do is she that rubber washer in the hole and then put the seat back on I did it it worked sometimes you can't get the right water Springs I don't know why they have the spring in there it's useless
My valve stem is down below..i can't reach it. Do I take it apart from below?
Not a timely response, but perhaps will help others: Turn off the main water supply to your home or apartment, then.
thanks that is the exact faucet that I have to repair
Paul..... some of these, you either unscrew or have to grab a hold of it and pull extremely hard.
Thanks
I wish he slowly showed and explain how the washer fit over the spring. I find it difficult to fit. Does the rubber washer fit over the spring and then down into the hole? It's not as easy if you dont' do stuff like this. And no, this is not for dummies, it's for dummies that know how the spring and rubber washer sets together.
Thank you so much for this video. I was so worried I wouldn't be able to do it. But I did it! And it was so easy!!!
Bob McDowell Drop the spring back into the little the comes through. Then seat the washer above it.
Just to let you know I did one of them you can do without the spring you can stick the rubber washer in that hole and then put the seed in I did it it worked you don't really need that spring I don't know why they got that in there anyway
Thank you
terrific...just what I needed!
I made all the changes, but it's still dripping. Frustrated at this point can you help?
Jennifer Cruz tell your hunny to do it :-).
You may need to replace the faucet stem too, not just the washer
While you have it apart, change the o-ring too. That is important. But, if it's still leaking after that, you may need to replace the entire stem.
where's the crud on EVERYTHING?
ln my case the water is running and l cannot shut it off
thanks!
I am still struggling..
Awesome
Certainly try this before replacing the faucet, the hardware of which is practically indestructible.
thanx for the info. vintage plumping...everything is sticking and impossible. gah!
Jonah Hill is narrating this video.
not thatttt easy
Actually...the little rubber and spring is called the "Seat" not washer...u can buy the cartridge n Seat n spring in one package for under $10...replace the whole assembly is smartest 👌 why have to do it again for under $10 😉
