Faucet Repair : How to Repair a Leaky Bath Faucet

[@hiroshibell]

I may seem obvious to most folks but for the sake of instruction he should really be informing people to turn off the water main to the home.

[@myblissful4]

lol great point. as an electrician I should have known better to shut off the water main. guess what, I received a fire hydrant like shower. my step daughter was looking for her phone so she could record it and post it on facebook and you tube. the video was very helpful and I fixed the problem. than you for making the video Terry. sincerely.... The Wet Bandit lol

[@ronaldperry1445]

VERY GOOD POINT!!! I like to fix things on my own. And i have this problem right now(leaking faucet). I would like to think that i have good common sense. But I know absolutley nothing about plumbing. If i dont know how to do something i always youtube it. I can follow directions very well. BUT IF I DID NOT READ YOUR REPLY I WOULD NOT HAVE SHUT THE MAIN OFF. Just being honest. THANKS Hiroshi Bell!

[@chloeg8802]

Im a girl lol how do u turn off the water i never done this before lol and i live on my own

[@heidis8713]

Chloe G boys arent born knowing how to repair/build things. You could look it up on youtube to get a visual, or go to your water companys website. Often they will have a video showing you how to turn off the main water to the house because you may need to do that in an emergency. Also, you would have their phone number nearby... juuuust in case :D

[@kodyhunter5566]

Thank you saved me alot of trouble

[@MatrixxSoundlab]

I have to thank you for this video. The dripping in the tub got on my nerves, but I was reluctant to have someone look at it because I had no idea how much it would cost. And it involved water! I watched this video, took the piece to Home Depot, and I did the entire thing in under 15 minutes! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

[@98tharmorcav]

Dis you have to shut off the water to the tub?

[@kimberly1954]

Thank you so much for your instructional video. After researching a few videos of what could be done to repair my long time leaking shower faucet, I had the confidence to attempt this repair myself. I also spoke with a couple of colleagues for added advice. One colleague supported me, the other said I should call a professional before I made the problem worse. I listened to him for a couple of minutes but ultimately it motivated me to fix this leak myself. SUCCESS. With your simple instructions and guidance, I was able to accomplish everything you showed in your video. I am so proud of myself and I'm sure I save at least $200.00. Thank you for giving me the confidence to do a home repair, I know that other women can do this too!

[@temple7123]

Your demonstration was superb and very helpful , after getting some fancy quotes of $200 and up , i could manage the whole thing with in $25 . Thanks

[@jphamber]

Thanks Terry. I found the part at Home Deport and it took me 10 minutes to fix my leaking faucet. The part name is MOEN 1225 it is $19. The white tool comes with the cartridge and you dont even need it, just remove the pin and pull the cartridge out.

[@RGHSHOW]

jphamber thank you so much for the part number

[@desireepacheco8490]

Your video was the most helpful I found, thank you so much!!!!

[@americanbluerabbitbreeder8512]

Oh and anyone reading this that's your first time like me replacing this,it took me about 20minutes total so someone familiar to this would be about 5 minutes max! That's what it will take me next time 🙂thanks again

[@XenosSavior]

Few things:
1) turn the water off to the faucet from your pipes, you may need to turn off water to the house. To check turn off valves and try to run water.
2) if you don't have "the tool", you can also use needle nose pliers and jam your hand in them to keep them open.
3) make sure the plastic prongs are left and right. Otherwise it won't come out. (usually a 90 degree turn, it will keep spinning unlike a screw). Then pull it out with a vise grip (or similar).

[@AD.the.G]

Easy. Just helped me out a ton. Fixed under 5 minutes, Thank you for this video, it made my issue not much of an issue. Very much appreciated.

[@Enders03]

Great help. Spent less than $20 on the part at Home Depot. Thank you, Terry!

[@jchoitube]

Yours must have been lower price model. Mine was a lot expensive at $47!

[@ninetales7292]

This is great...helped me change my bathtub faucet! Thanks!

[@MrRagequitnow]

What luck the exact same faucet i have in my shower! Thanks for the short sweet and to the point video.

[@yousifdelvalle4162]

Did you have that little white nub tool to set the cartridge?

[@edwardcosta2931]

Louis CK really knows his plumbing.

[@AlexDiaz-eo6qi]

Thanks follow every step and came out great 👍

[@D6Spanky]

This is a great, simple, to the point repair video! I've done it many times before but it has been a while. I'll forward it on to my mom so she can see how to do it since I can't be there to do it for her! Thanks again!

[@roxanneescobarreed5532]

Terry!! I just fixed my leaky tub faucet perfectly thanks to you!! I am way too excited about this but thank you so much!

[@tlm9903]

Thank you for your very time shows us how to fix this by ourselves I was so excited when I found out how to fix it

[@r_lee]

Thank you. Very helpful. I successfully fixed mine.

[@chaimcohen5834]

Just saw the video and I really worked

[@kaelanandrews9208]

Great Video Thanks!! If you put the new part in upside down hot will be cold and vis-versa. Also home depot in Canada gave me the part for FREE!!! This part was Moen 1225 (for knobs that pull out and then turn. They also have part 1222 which is for faucets that dont pull out just turn. I assume Moen supplies home depot with them as part of lifetime warranty.

[@lilmikey23333]

Kaelan Andrews dammm I have to fix mine hot is cold

[@koulee2014]

Thank a million. This video make the job easy and simple. Got done let then 10min.

[@williamthetech315]

Terry Thanks for the Great Video. My same exact faucet. I was heading to Lowe's preparing to replace it, but it looks like all i have to do is to do what you did. I installed a new tankless water heater and had to re route the lines. Unfortunately I did not flush the system first and ended up with a bunch of solder thought the system and it jammed in the tub faucet, not letting me shut off the water. so, of course i hit it closed with my palm and tore the seal. lesson learned

[@JT-td1th]

You made it so easy! Thanks.

[@louryvence6309]

Thank you so much Terry.

[@emalkhan1379]

Thank you for posting this very helpful video, saved me a huge hustle. Thanks again.

[@americanbluerabbitbreeder8512]

Thank you so much!!! You just saved me over a $100 prolly more like 200 where I live plus days of waiting for them to come out..where I live plumbing companies turn this simple basic job into a career!!! wanted $50 to come out and look then 75 to $130 an hour for labor plus parts☹️ 😡 the hell with that I spent $50 for the new tube plus got grease and a special tool to get the old one out because the one in the new pack wouldn't get the old one out and 2trips to my hardware store.it's so hard to find an easy no none sense person like my dad used to do at his handyman business just go out look yeah it's a simple fix,I do it for $50 plus parts be right back type of deal,go figure why he was so successful at his business..Thanks again!👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@anncece7767]

probably. prolly is not a word.

[@billkring]

Thanks for the clear video explanation. I fixed it for under $20, and I now have one of those white tools I didn't have before.

[@playably]

Hey do you know the name of that tool?

[@SultanHamid-]

What’s the tool called?

[@michellewest4595]

@@SultanHamid- I found a Moen Core puller, or called cartridge puller at Home depot.

[@___GhostRider___]

Great video and please cover the drain hole so you don't lose the little clamp like I did and cut off the main water supply in the basement before getting started..

[@Chocaluvr]

Thank you! I was going to comment on that. It’s important that people know you have to shut off the main water supply or you’ll end up getting a horizontal shower. Also, you’ll lose those clips and screws if you don’t close that drain hole.

[@hondorama]

Thaks Terry!!

[@rafaelbarrientos5360]

Thanks for the video i fixed mine watching your video

[@reggieparron6638]

[@MHS_ART]

Sabrina renee just fix mine also! Yay

[@bjmkids6628]

Thanks for the video... Replaced the whole new cartridge for $15, no more drips!!

[@nomarbe]

Where I can purchase a cartridge?

[@mVolt]

interesting to see that masters faced with such nuances worldwide. :) I'm from Ukraine. Sorry for my English

[@kris-d2080]

Thank you, this was very helpful. Is there a name for the “special tool” needed to change this type of faucet?

[@JeremyZoerman]

Exactly what I needed, thank you!

[@T-Rex707]

Thank you so much, thanks to you I was able to fix it myself! :)

[@TheComdev]

Thanks Terry, great and useful video! It looks very simple.

[@squeakychairproductions6813]

Thanks a bunch! That was a huge help!

[@armankhamiszadeh]

Short to the point. Thank you.

[@tomcaincain7406]

Thanks Terry good job!!!

[@mmclane8613]

Does this fix slow drips?

[@davidvinton1486]

I feel dumb for not knowing something easy, but now i feel empowered. lol

[@reneewilliams554]

Great video. Does the same fix apply if you only get hot water out of the faucet? No cold water comes out just hot.

[@jonderrington]

Yes you have to turn off the water supply first.

[@tonychurritos2167]

Thank you for this video, it really helped me and saved me money.. !! :)

[@charlexa7141]

Thank you for this Information I did Everything And I fixed , this is a good Video

Thank you!

Thanks for the video! =] Just what I needed to see.

[@ironwill4706]

I'm having a great deal of trouble taking off the chrome sleeve I stopped because I don't want to break it , any suggestions on how to take it off safely?

[@dajavuman]

Thanks for the great video..

[@sissypetropoulou5571]

Can you please tell us the name of the little tool I can go buy it and when you mean type of cartridge that one in the video is ? I have the same faucet.

[@iadorenewyork1]

Excellent!

[@mikeoverkill2485]

This one is just like mine. How do you find the tool.

[@b.j.stoner9065]

Yeah...First shut off water. Next cover tub drain so screws won’t drop in it. & the other thing when the face plate came off it seemed it should have something sealing it to tile...? Even some plumber’s putty..? Thanks🥀

[@danielrivero5229]

Gracias

[@iwin4985]

Do I have to shut off the water to the house before removing the cartridge?

[@hamfatgmailcom]

thanks

[@jorgeg922]

Simple enough... thanks!

[@CurlyFromTheSwirly]

Good vid but not what I expected.
I was told it is most often an old washer. Is this a dif type?

[@mikesal2333]

Do you have to turn off the main water going into the house?

[@imwade3]

We were to turn water off?

[@theotoytoylv9669]

Hi,May I know what is the white plastic tool called? Thanks

[@brianu33]

My faucet in the tub keeps dripping. We have a delta single handle for hot and cold. Is the issue coming from there? Maybe rubber washers in side handle and dripping down to faucet

[@ahneyshajackson8567]

I have same kind of faucet. It’s leaking. What do I ask them for exactly at Lowes or Home Depot?

[@shelleyfunny19]

I have that exact faucet fixture. problem is it started to stick and get hard to turn on, but when turned on it did pour water. the other day I pulled it out to turn on, it felt like it popped and opened very loosely and water just dripped out. turned it on and nothing comes out. what parts do I need to replace. thank you.

[@read2gainknowledge]

mine looks just like this. Do all sketching sleeves come off? I can't seem to get mine off?

[@denaferreira9197]

My super repairs ours monthly but eventually the leak returns. What is he doing wrong?

[@ishangocartel3495]

MY MAN 👍🏾

[@pollydor07]

THANKS

[@brionbethea4164]

What is the tool to loosen it first

[@richardguerra1712]

I do turn off the water supply for the whole house?

[@haphappablap7049]

I have the exact same faucet. Is it a Moen?

[@bennyc3669]

where can I get that little white thing to loosen it so I can take it out?

[@caitlinpratt301]

My husband just did this repair and put it back on the hottest heat setting but now our hot water is barely luke warm. Any ideas why?? We turned the water off under our house.

[@richardguerra1712]

Where can I get that little tool?

[@a.simone624]

What do you do when the retainer clip won't go back on?

[@romanmejorado5495]

Thanku thanku thanku

[@xval-of9ug]

U need to use plumbing lube 4 the new cartridge!! Also placing a towel to block the drain and turn off the main🤯🤯

[@pgpeachess]

how do explain that after a new cartridge was installed, the water completely shuts off when the knob is out all the way, in open position? it only runs -not @ 100% capacity- when the knob is about half way open. nobody seems to figure this out.

[@MelterBeltran]

i did all that and still leakes,, please help

[@franciscom131]

Does anybody knows the part number of this exact cartridge and the tool. I need to fix my leak and is exactly the same at the video

[@kimberlysteenson7084]

See above comments 2 people mentioned the part number and the tool comes with it at HD

[@miguelguzman5656]

thank you very helpful!!

[@jonathanstatham88]

Turn off water main and cover drain hole so you dont loose any parts.

[@13hasonahobo]

When I pull the pin out the valve does not come out. I have pull real hard but I Not hard enough to break it but it still does not want to come out.

[@khasskhass]

My chrome does not come out. How can I pull out?

[@samichhaze3873]

What if it still leaks

[@MegaBullet50]

ur fucked

[@raulgutierrez5920]

!!!Still leaks that's it!!!😂😂😂

[@AvaLeafs10]

first thing...I would do or tell everyday people...seems silly but remind people turn off the water! and leave a tap in the basement or lower floor open.

[@marthaortiz7250]

I have to change it every year,why?

[@anastasia10017]

do you have to turn off the water at the main source ?

[@vampov]

+anastasia10017 I would but I haven't done this repair.

[@T-Rex707]

Yes you do or you will get soaked in water, that's what happened to me, lol

[@MegaBullet50]

no u dont. the water will know that you are doing a repair and holds itself back as a courtesy to you.

[@Pangjunmin]

wish I knew what that"tool" was called

[@ajayjiutube]

did you find out what dies that tool called? i could not convince Home Depot guy. i will be taking this video bavk to him and ask him if he has it. that saves bunch of money.

[@Pangjunmin]

the tool unfortunately comes with the valve.... you'd think it comes the other way, but no.... so you need to figure out which valve it is... so you need to buy a new kit, (probably a few of them) and test which one fits, then go back and return the rest....

[@ajayjiutube]

right, i got the one i needed, its exactly same what is shown in the video.
Here is the product in homedepot.
www.homedepot.com/p/MOEN-Single-Handle-Replacement-Cartridge-1225/100051867

[@MikeDunn]

_wish I knew what that"tool" was called_
He said his name is Terry.

[@phillipgibson3253]

How about moving your hand out of the way so we can see the reinstall.

[@arong9258]

Phillip Gibson 😂 ungrateful bitch

[@monicamcgahan]

Phillip Gibson I think it's pretty clear what he's doing geeesh be greatful he got in from of the camera and filmed this!!! Do you do any filming ? I have a feeling not!
Thank you Terry for showing us how to do this!!!

[@lizmac21]

Should turn off water first and that metal cover isn't necessary to remove to replace this, but each thier own.

[@Dave_A41]

I think the first thing you do is shut of the water main

[@pliccut]

You make it look like the cartridge just slides right out and that's b. s. You have to fight and have a tug of war for hours to get the old one out.

[@pliccut]

Followed instructions on the tool to remove it and it wouldn't budge. Broke the plastic piece that fits on the end trying to get it loose. Tool is a waste of money. Had to put a wood screw into the soft part to get it out. Slides right out like a rusted differential drain plug just screws right out... without any effort.

[@pdxmetal]

Get some CLR and let it sit for a while. Once the parts are out scrub it good with the CLR again. Water creates a lot of corrosion and if you don't clean it out so everything is smooth your reinstall will chew up the cartridges o-rings and you'll have to do the job again.

[@X3WorkshopDesigns]

You forgot to mention to make sure the main water line is turned off.

[@gotaigo]

Can’t believe u didn’t tell people to shutoff main water valve first.
