Why you don't use a garbage disposal in this build? Thank you.
Good question. I get this question alot and I didn't do one for a couple of reasons. The first one is due to living rural. The septic system I have is not designed for digesting plant solids. They do make a special disposal system that injects enzymes when the disposal is running but they are very expensive. The second reason is I don't have the electrical wires or switch run and would have to add all that in to make it work. The third reason is money. I got this sink on clearance and am a tight budget. I hope this answers your question! Thanks for watching!
@@TJLawrence254 I was SO expecting the answer to be that garbage goes in the trash, not the sink. LOL
@@one_hoop that too. Food goes in the trash not the sink!!
@@jorgeluiscorrea992 Food scraps can go into the compost heap and it can be turned into fertilizer.
I always found garbage disposals in american movies so strange. Didn't know they where actually a thing. Is this not super unhealthy for the enviroment?
I've done this before. A word of wisdom/convenience - put the faucet and soap dispenser as well as the drain flange on BEFORE you install the sink. That way you don't have to do all that work while contorting yourself under the cabinet.
My thoughts exactly
Absolutely. Cut the faucet box down and use it to protect the countertop. Install everything you can on the new sink before dropping into the opening.
I think not, it's much safer if you are doing the work alone to keep the sink as neat and light as possible. It's really not that much of work to add the faucet and soap dispenser after.
But if you have some kind of support where the sink can rest with its accessories and you have help to position precisely the sink in place, one person above the sink, one person under it, that may save 3 minutes.
@@Chimel31a stainless sink doesn’t weigh that much. Beyond that, a faucet only weighs around 1-2lbs. It’s not like you are adding 50+lbs to the sink by installing your faucet first. I think you may be overthinking this.
@@Chimel31I agree with you, when installing anything it's best to be as comfortable as possible to get the job done with out scratching or damaging any parts hanging around or attached to it.
I appreciate showing the tough stuff like pulling out the sink. I'm doing this alone and I like understanding its not THAT simple. I like to be prepared:) Home depot video was a joke compared to yours. Thank you!
How did it go?
Amen brother!

Hey I feel completely obligated to tell you that I watched your video a few times today while replacing my kitchen sink (with the same one in the video) and I wanted to thank you because it made it pretty straight forward and I found your video very helpful. You’re a legend.
Thank you very much! Glad I could help!
What brand of sink is this?
Very helpful and well explained. I just got a very similar sink(maybe even the same one) and having this vid to help is gold. Thanks man!
3:51 I like the deer in the back yard running by as you take out the sink. 😅
how convenient that the first video i come across is also the exact sink i'm getting
Thanks bro. Young guy by himself. Needed this
I've watched a number of these type today but yours explains and shows things better than even the corporations.
I watched this video and it convinced me to install a Kraus sink in my house. They should pay you a commission.
This is exactly the install video I needed. Having Zero experiences with removing or installing any sink.
My current sink is fully functioning, only want a single bowl style after seeing my sons recent kitchen sink swap. Yes he convinced me I could do this myself ,, LOL.. your video has given me much more confidence,, especially the plumbing aspect,, as this is vital as well... thanks !,
You are welcome!
Step 1: Call this guy to do all the work. There is no Step 2.
I was looking for videos on installing sinks in general, and I never thought I'd be lucky enough to find one on THE SAME EXACT MODEL I'm about to install. Thank you so much!
Love that new sink. Simple, elegant, and just the right size. Also, amazing job doing this on your own. Because it really looks like a 2-man job to me.
I just wanted to say thank you for making this video. I used it to do my own sink replacement from an almost identical setup to a Kraus sink. I also removed a garbage disposal, which took up a ton of room under the sink since we never used it and from many things I've read, they're not great for the pipes, etc. I did end up using the optional plumber's putty - that stuff just keeps oozing out the top, but it's easy to scrape off the excess. Anyway, thanks again!
I loved watching you put the new sink in the kitchen.
I’m not looking forward to replacing my sink today. But this video made me feel more motivated to do it. Thanks for sharing.
Just got one of these style faucets. Exactly the video I need to watch. My dads the “doesn’t read directions but can fix anything” kind of guy and I’m the one reminding him to turn off the water supply and making sure he screws the counter weight screws back in lol.
Thank you SO MUCH!! I'm about to replace my daughter's sink with one that has a deeper basin but she has a garbage disposal, too! I found a pretty good video for that. I know how hard it is to film project videos!! You did a GREAT JOB!! I love seeing the deer, too! :)
Thanks for watching! I glad it was helpful
@@TJLawrence254how u know what size to get tho? I wanna do same thing
@@Eastbaypisces you just have to measure the opining you have. most standard kitchen sinks are 33 inches wide.
Can you paste the link for the dishwasher video you found?
I was going to call a plumber to swap out my sink. Your video editing with highlights were exactly what I needed to build my confidence to do it my self. My 2 main questions got answered which were about how to apply silicone and if I would need plumbers putty for the drain.
You do need plumbers putty and the dishwasher hose wasn’t installed correctly in the video. Learned that from another video
@@Nicole-ck9ssnot every state requires a air gap for the dishwasher hose
Thank you! I'll be doing an install tomorrow. I had a few worries about sealant and the like and your video answered all my questions and has given me the confidence to proceed.
Intuitive video. 10/10. Thanks to people like you, youtube is my favorite university.
Ahhhhh... I wish you used garbage disposal, but I saw your response to the same question I have. Thank you for a great video!!!
Omg I would do anything for a new beautiful sink with sprayer like that. It’s so beautiful. I hate my old nasty sink 😢
I appreciate the advice on the caulk and the spirits
The screw driver extensions and having some spirits ready after the caulk job was huge. Thanks
..and ironically I was renovating one side of my duplex and I have both of those sinks installed . The glacier bay one has the sliding accessories but still amazing coincidence
Nice, easy and clean. You should get a p-pipe with a drain at the bottom of the main vertical pipe, so you don't have to unscrew both sides to remove any plug of organic matter, only one screw at the bottom and the plug fells down by itself.
Very nice and clear! Could you do a video on how to match up sink dimensions in the product specs with the existing cut out in the countertop?
TJ great job on the installation & video!
If you haven’t done it already work in more chrome accessories it will pull the room together. The deer will love it as well!
Thanks for the video! I just bought the same sink and the previous sink is exactly like your previous sink so this video helps A LOT!
where was this video 2 weeks ago. this is my exact sink and setup and I winged it all.
Great video! Thank you. Tip: Use baby wipes to clean up silicone and caulk. It’s a game changer!!!
Thanks a lot brother! I am going to replace my sink and your video helped me in many ways to do the sink replacement!
This video was awesome 👏, looked somewhat easy, but also you could use an xtra hand ✋. I really want that farmhouse white sink it’s beautiful 🤩.
The old sink looks great! I wouldn’t mind having it.
I would love someone to do a DIY with the home I bought a year ago. The owners band-aided a lot and I cannot even find the attachments they have going on under the sink. I am pretty dang handy myself and this video was easy to follow.
Thank you indeed
I like the new drain it's because you can clean it then you can screw it back together when your done :)
Very good presentation. Good lighting and thorough explanation. 👌🏽
Wow you made it look SO easy!! Thank you so much!
Awesome video I appreciate you doing this about to tackle this reno myself! Waiting for a black Friday deal on a big sink like that!
My house has a dark brown cast iron sink when we moved it. It was SUPER heavy! Hauled it out to the curb and a scrapper stopped to grab it before i even got back up to my house. That cast iron sink broke so many dishes. The new stainless sink has enough flexibility that a light drop doesn't break most dishes.
very good bro. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! This was helpful to see. Going to give it a try!
Perfect exactly what I needed. Thank you
Awesome! We are replacing our sink with pretty much the same one you have. Hope our project goes as well smooth as yours, lol...you are a good teacher! Thanks!
Great video! Got me thinking I could do this all myself.
Best video!!!! Hands down!!! I was looking for this type of Video!!! Big help!!!!!
I'm happy it helped! Thanks for watching!
Nice video and we just bought that Krauss sink. I don’t know which style clips I have I’ll find out tomorrow. Thanks for the refresher course
I think you're going to like your new sink! Let me know how it goes.
@@TJLawrence254 well, it’s been a long time since I remodeled anything. So I didn’t think ahead to clamp a strip of oak at the line to support the old Formica as I cut. So I got 3 dandy chips.
But the sink is great. And there will be a full remodel in the kitchen eventually.
Love the sink.
Great visual and great instructions! You made it seem easy! I’m now gonna tackle it myself! Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
@@TJLawrence254 Do you by chance know where I can buy one with three holes so I can put soap dispenser and water as well?
I checked on Kraus' website and did not find a 3 hole design. I'll check with the manufacture and let you know.
I REALLY LOVED THIS VIDEO I WANTED TO REPLACE MINE AND YOUR EXPLANATION WAS VERY CLEAR AND USEFULL
I installed the faucet onto the sink before installing the sink into the counter top.
Great job! You made this look so easy
Awesome Tutorial!!!
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Great explanation and thoroughness! I have been looking for a gold sink at a reasonable price to go with my kohler gold faucet. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.I look forward to rewatching this video several times when I install my new sink and faucet. Thank You again, Great Video!
Great video! I actually think I might be able to do this myself! Thank you!
Thank you! Very helpful video!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much!
Beautiful sink, that will be my next project
awesome, thank you.
You bet!
One suggestion is to get that dishwasher drain line up as high as you can to make a "high loop" - this will prevent any clog from backing up into the dishwasher...
That right. You need to have that higher than the outlet connection. I must not have shown that. An easy way to do that is to zip tie the loop to one of the clips above to keep it from falling down. Thanks for you comment!
@@TJLawrence254 great work! Looks much improved. I need to replace mine soon too.
I'm glad my kitchen sink doesn't have a garbage disposer. I think disposers are a real pain to deal with and they are totally expensive to maintain. I would prefer to compost my food and turn it into fertilizer for my lawn and garden.
Great video. Even got to see a deer 🦌 in your backyard.
huge help. thank you so much
Excellent Job. Very clear instructional video.
Thank you!
The 2 sides sink is one thing I hate about my current house.. Might replace it soon after watching this video for tips.
Great video, thanks TJ!!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you
Best super video of (DIY) I've seen!!! Thank you so much!! Keep doing videos like this. Maybe a shower (DIY) TY!
You make it seem so easy.
great job, but did you take a double sink to a single sink? If so do you have a video on how to do that?
That is what this video shows. Taking a double bowl sink to a single.
I got that sink. Looks great at first, scratches easy, hard to clean the sharp corners in the bottom. There's a reason why sinks are shaped like bowls.
As time goes by all those scratches start looking ok, patina crazy I know.
i could not believe my eyes when i saw that great sink being replaced by a huge piece of s ..t that takes several gallons to get an inch of water in the bottom, unbelievable !
Hi
Great video. Thank you for your time . Can you please tell us the depth of the counter top.
Thank you
Never thought I'd see Jaime Lannister changing out a kitchen sink
😂
Fantastic video! Really helped me install my new sink all the way. I appreciate you making it!
Glad it helped!
Fantastic video much appreciated
very nice well done video. thanks just what i need it.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
Thank you Sir, this was a very informative video.
Wow! Good job done, thanks 😊😮
great sink.
Looks so easy
Super helpful
You just won a new subscriber. I like how you Narate your videos
Good job you made it look easy
Very nice brother.. ofcourse thumb up.. but my had the disposal and old sink not deep like new sink🤔.. it's look very complicated ..
Great demo
Great video. I'm going to need to replace my countertops before I do the sink. Don't guess you'll be making a video on that anytime soon?
Haha, no not in my budget any time soon. Thanks for watching!
I love this video! Thank you for making it. My p trap is on the left, and my new #kraus sink single drain is on the right. Also, my current sink is 5 inches, thats right 5 inches, deep. So my concern is making sure the flow through the p trap is correct and having enough room in my cabinet to drop the sink 9 inches. Any suggestions or resources I could look too?
Oh, that could be a challenge. You are in the right place! UA-cam has just about a video for any problem! Some of the best channels for home remodeling are This Old House and See Jane Drill. I started out learning the trades in Highschool. And from Handyman Club of America encyclopedias. But, whenever I am trying to figure out a problem like plumbing where I can't find a good resource online or in a book I usually just get all the possible parts I think I may need from Menards and keep trying parts Until I make something that works. It's not the most efficient way to do things but its how I learn the most! As far as flow you should have about 1/4 inch of drop per foot of pipe. If the outlet pipe in the wall is too high up to be slightly lower that the new trap, and the trap is installed as high as it can go, The pipe in the wall will have to be lowered. This requires a hole in the wall but is really not any more difficult that what I did in this video. Just a bit more time and materials. I hope this helps!
Is shopping for the replacement sink as simple as measuring the dimensions of the hole once you’ve pulled the old sink out, or is there a way to get the specs before you pull the sink out?
You make it look easy! I can't tell you how many times I've had to put myself in a very uncomfortable position to reach the faucet screws. Which faucet are you using?
Thanks! I'm using the Kraus Bolden 18-inch Commercial Kitchen Faucet. Here it is on amazon. amzn.to/3GPNehf
wall mounted kitchen faucet is best. easy to tight and replace .
this was an awesome and fun presentation
this was very helpful, but do you have a video that shows how to replace the sink going from 2 drains with a disposal to 1 drain?
If I had known it was this easy I wouldn’t have waited a year for my husband to do it 😂
A little teflon tape on the threaded connections to the valves would be a good idea, too.
Question! So we installed the same faucet type. Tightend it as much as possible however with force my husband and still rotate it with brute strength. Is that normal? I can too but bot by much.
Thank you for youe video! Makes it look easy!
No, you shouldn't be able to rotate it once it's tightened down. Rotate the collar as far as you can the set the two screws firmly should be all it takes.
You made that look easy bro
Great video! Nice sink
This is my first sink T. J., your presentation was excellent may you and your family have fantastic New Year ! Your a baseball player, Roberto Celemente sends coolest regards!
Nice work!
very useful video
This was great!
