![How To Install Bathroom Sink Drain/Faucet, No Leaks Under Gasket, Threads [SOLVED] 2023](/img/tr.png)
Nice video thanks for the effort and sharing. Just two notes, need to put a bead of plumbers putty underneath the drain pipe that installs through the top of the sink. When you take it down the putty will squeeze out which will help prevent any leaks, just wipe away the putty that squeezes out with a paper towel. Second, you recommend it to tighten everything as tight as possible. Not a good idea, overtightening plumbing can cause leaks, just get it tight but not as tight as possible. Thanks again bro
This is the most honest sink replacement video on the internet.
Adding a good bead of 100% Silicone caulk under the top drain assembly is my favorite trick to make sure it never leaks. After you screw it down tight just take a paper towel and wipe away any that squeezes out into the sink area. Also, anywhere you have a threaded pipe you should use pipe tape. Very nice video. We were teaching our teen daughter how to change out a sink faucet and this video showed her all the steps perfectly. Don't let your kids move out until they learn basic household repairs.....and how to make toast and boil water so they don't starve in college Lol.
Wish I would have learned this or even known how to do any maintenance when I first moved out. Very thankful for you tube!!!
There's no need for Teflon tape on those threads you should only need plumbers puddy or caulk to set the sink and make sure it doesn't move
@@rsswolf7068 How come teflon tape is not needed? Is having it still good for extra security though?
@@lemons_s Teflon tape helps create the seal on tapered threads. But not all threads are tapered threads, if there's something else creating the seal then the teflon doesn't make a difference. In this example the threads weren't making a seal, they're just pushing a tapered piece up into the joint. Another example would be the compression fittings in the flex hoses, the threads don't need tape because they're only being used to push down the compression ring

I appreciate you leaving in all of the problems you would come across while doing a project like this. Unlike the 3 minute video Home Depot provided that doesn't show you any real world shit all. Great video and thank you.
Thanks, I try to keep it real!
@@knowitall8799 how do I get drain plug lever off the plastic once it snaps in?
Exactly! Videos that gloss over problems aren't doing anyone any favours. Thank you for this step-by-step real video.
EXACTLY!
Bruh. Those big brand instructional vids are nothing but extended marketing materials. They want to make the job look so simple that it only takes a split second to do a pro quality job. It’s all in the name of making you buy their shit lol
Thank you so much. I've been scrolling through so many videos that left me so confused. Thanks for your clear instructions and showing every angle, and the cute kitty cats. Bless You!
It's awesome that you kept in the issues you ran into and how you solved them. Thank you!!
I LOVE your vid! Step 1 remove the cats! I have 4!
Installing my first new centerset w stopper for my tenants, I’ve tried used sinks and faucets all leaked! So had to purchase new vanity and faucet sold separately and NOT assembled!! The instruction manual might as well be in Greek!
Your video is user friendly so thank you! I also have floor mount plumbing so have to use the S trap! House built in 1899!
Your video saved the day!! Thank you!
Thank you, I need to replace my bathroom faucet and I have already replaced three ceiling fans and a garbage disposal with the assistance of these videos. Very much appreciated.
This was incredibly informative and completely comprehensible. 👏🏻
Well done extremely thorough no steps missed. Many other videos skip steps, this one is done so well and detailed I subscribed. Well done 5 star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ video.
Hey dude, thank you very much for making the video. I replaced a faucet about 10 years ago and botched it pretty bad, had to have someone come do it right. Changing another one now and your video was a great refresher om what needs to be done.
Dude this was soooooo helpful. Easy to follow! Life saver!
Besides the very informative video, I have to say the camera angles you get are out of this world. I can't even get my hands where you have perfect lighting and a camera set up.
Thanks, you are SO right you have no idea!
Success! This video helped me install my new Moen bathroom faucet-no leaks so far. Well done!! Appreciate you. Happy holidays Know it All!!
Thank you. Great video. Tight space but your explanation was clear. TFS
Very through and explains all steps clearly and professionally. Thank you so very much!
I agree so glad to see a real world video complete with lots of problems.
Great video! Just need to be careful tightness of the plastic parts, they’re easy to break or crack, also some leaks take more than a few second to appear so keep checking hours or days later.
Thanks so much! I was afraid to this myself but now I think I can!
You can do it!
Thanks so much for showing us step by step. This video and your great instruction is a big help for my changing my bathroom faucet..
Good video but one positive criticism I always use Plummer’s putty underneath drain seat and faucet seat. Even though instructions say it won’t leak with plastic gasket.
Thanks for the advice! Always good to hear from someone more experienced.
@@knowitall8799 the plastic clip in leaks through the pipe
Plumber's putty in not recommended on plastic unless it is stain-free.
@@AD-eq4kn Which plastic clip?
I just finished replacing a pair of faucets strictly according to the instructions. I had leaks in several places. Teflon tape solved them all.
Thanks, great job explaining step by step. Nice kitty cats , tool
i like the way you removed the leak at 16:54. Its all good man, great honest video, you are not afraid
You are awesome...❤ the way you us with step by step (NO Skipping) and now I feel confident that I can do it to.
Thank you 😊
VERY INFORMATIVE THANKS
Very helpful to include working through the challenges you faced.
This video was great, thank you. I have this same exact model faucet and couldnt figure out how to remove it. This video helped so much.
The faucet he removed was a popular builder B-grade model used a lot in the '70's. I replaced mine about ten years ago and finished an upgrade today. It can be maddening at times.
Best video for do it yourselfers. Thank you thank you thank you! Great job!!!!!!!!
I just finished replacing our bathroom faucet! I've been putting it off, but your video really helped me walk thru what to do next. Thank you so much!
After replacing did your water run again? Cause I just replaced mine and the water isn't running
@@damiensixone no water at all? Two things might be the problem...
1) did the main valve get turned back on? (the oval shaped knob featured at @6:18)
2) are the hoses that run underneath the sink tightened properly with no leaks?
Without seeing it, not sure what it could be if not one of these. Good luck man.
@@followjamesadams I applied some silicone seal under the faucet gasket to stop leak and had to flush out aerator cause residue and debris clogged it. Works great now. Thank you 👍🏾
@@damiensixone nice!!
Oh the kitty is the favorite part of The video!!😂❤ I came because I have to put in a kitchen faucet for the first time.
I was able to do this in no time, thanks 😊
Thanks for the explanation, great job.
Beautiful cats ❤️❤️❤️❤️🐈🐈🐈🐈 and awesome video
I do remove the filter from the faucet befor runing any water, so the debries from the angle stops--- closing valves don't clogged it. very well explained thanks.
LOVE your added touch at end… drinking a glass of water from your new install job!! Lol puurrrrrfect!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉💗👍🙌🙌🙌🙏👏👏👏👏😁
Lol... I'm watching this to prepare myself to replace my faucet and immediately knew this video was for me because step 1 is crucial, and I also will need to refer back to step 1 throughout the process.
Nice video, doing mine today. Thank you.
Great job! Thanks for the video!
Great video!! Very helpful. Thankyou!
Thank you, my friend...helped a bunch!
Step 1 is always the hardest part of any project. 🐈🐈⬛ 😂
Nothing cats enjoy more than watching humans work.
Great, so I snipped a piece off of the horizontal rod, like you did. Now I've got a bigger problem. The new drain body, the big piece that goes down the sink, is about 5 inches shorter than my old one. Ugh!! I'll try to find another video. Thank you for YOUR video!
just get a $2-3 tube extension at home depot. it'll be like 8 or 12 inches long and you just cut off as much as you want to make it fit
I just can belive you made a video for this!!!! I just can't!!!
very good. better than two others that I watched.
I have installed 6 of these, only have used 100% silicone in 1 case where the sink wasn’t flush to the poppy drain due to mfg defect in sink.
And that was years ago , and still doesn’t leak.
However I installed the Lowe’s version of this faucet
Thanks for pointing out there'd be water in the pipe and the need to place a bucket underneath. Big store vidoes didn't mention that.
Thank you for the video, it was really helpful. Without knowing i bought the same faucet 👍
Great video
such hard work great job
It was very helpful thanks brother
Thank you for this video !
Try installing 1/4 turn angle compression valves. They work well to stop leaking.
Thank you 👍
Nice Job!
Excellent video work and straight forward explanation. I wouldn't mind lower volume on background music or none at all. Otherwise I give you a 9 out of 10.
Great video!!!👍💪🤜🤛
Thank you soooo much!! You have a new subbie.
Fantastic Man!!
In this mostly clear video you completely glossed over the ONLY part I actually needed. How do you unscrew the top of the drain?
I took the trap off and loosed the nut holding the pipe to the sink. Then I used a pair of vice grips to get ahold of the drain and unthreaded the pipe from the bottom.
Should have applied teflon tape at the black threads above and below the overflow drain holes on your new black pipe from the box. You will probably get a leak.
Wow and you did it in such a tight area!!!
thank you. i will do that.
Thank you!
10/10 tutorial very sink informative.
Did you not use silicone sealant on the gasket beneath the faucet?
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Good job
Thank you this will help
Thank you for this
Thanks!
I have the same faucet how do i get the filter part off without pliers? don't want to crush the piece
Trying to install a countertop water filter up to this faucet that comes with a diverter. and wondering what type of adapter will fit it. I can't seem to find any long female adapters to replace the aerator. I'm a noob and not sure what the heck I'm supposed to do lol. Can anyone help?
Wow so many things can go wrong lol… I hope it will be easier than this for me 😂🙌🏽
Thanks
Si yo entendí que no se inglés
Cualquiera puede entender este video!
OK so replaced with a new faucet bc the old dripped and couldn't change out the cartridges so just got a whole new faucet. Now, it only has a small stream of water coming out with both sides wide open. So we took everything apart and retried still just a stream of water. Have great water pressure when not hooked up but horrible when connected. Idk if it's just the faucet or what else to try. Any help please......you can't even wash your hands not enough water comes out.
Step 1 remove the cats lmaoo
I see you have the price of the faucet, but how much for the cat?
Gross cats are nasty
@@highlander5849 You’re nasty

Good video. Coincidentally, I bought the exact same faucet today. My only "concern" is that it advises using silicone under the drain flange but you did not do that. (I'm guessing based on other comments that the putty does the same thing?) I guess I'm curious as to whether it is necessary. Based on the same comment, yes?
I may have I gotten lucky with solid manufacturing of my flange and the fit to my sink. I didn't have any leaks and still don't. But based on other comments and reading about it after the install, I'd suggest some plumbers putty just to be safe.
Out of curiosity, how did this installation hold up? I was thinking that you should've used teflon tape when reconnecting the P-trap on the wall side, but I don't know for sure whether that's required. Did you ever get any leaks from the drain?
No leaks yet!
I could have been lucky with the product quality and fit with my sink. I would definitely use plumbers putty/teflon tape in a couple areas to have more confidence in the longevity of the install if I were to do it again.
What did you use to cut the piece off?
One addition, you might want to use plumbers putty around the sink drain as a seal but looks like you had no leaks so no harm done. Plumbers use it to prevent call backs but I used it in a kitchen sink drain and got a call back as it was not a problem when I left, lol.
Thinking the same thing but like you said no leaks either putty or silicone would be smart
Floyd Turbo, now there is a blast from the past
Genius
Although plumbers putty was needed in my sink hole drain stopper. There was no way I could get it to tighten enough without leaking
You can also use silicone and teflon tape on threaded areas where necessary.
Rockiest ever seen
I did this exactly and the faucet is leaking from thr hose
One question, you don’t use putty mud to seal?
I just replaced mine but now my water isn't running. Any tips?
AND I see you have a Mavic Air...gonna check that video now.
1209 how you take the bar back out of the receiver
You're lucky. I spent an hour trying to get one of those plastic basin nuts removed. I ended up using vice grips and drowning the threads in WD40.
I always turn off the main water valve in the basement to prevent drips. :)
Thank you sooooooo much brotha. Seriously. Thank you. Have a great day!!!! ( night, everything whatever ) thank you bud. Thank you.
I just installed this same faucet. I am surprised at how low it costs when it looks like a $100 faucet. There were a ton in stock at my local Home Depot
Low cost = probably from China.
can I bend the hot/cold water cords because its 10 inch to water supply line and I have 12 inch cord can I bend it or will it cause leaks
Yes, they're made to be bent
@@wigletron2846 thx
Oh yes! We could definitely be good friends and build a house together. lol. I go at your pace. I m just about to change a set right now. Thanks bro for this vid.
I did not have to change the set. It turns out a plumber saw the leak here at the house determining the true problem. But I have subscribed to your channel. I like your style.
Better than ThisOldHouse! Is that blood on one of your fingers in the beginning twisting off the water hoses??? How many F-bombs were edited out. I had to take a Xanax just watching this thing. I'm going to DIY my own replacement. Wish me luck!
How much dues a plumber charge for a job like this one?
How the hell do you get the stopper off??
The bar that connects the lever on the faucet to the stopper inside the drain pipe has a piece that either screws, or clicks into the drain pipe. Take that part out and the bar holding the stopper in place will come out. The stopper should come straight up!
All I want to do is change the cold water. Because it runs, doesn't it need a little black washer in it? I don't want to take the whole thing apart
Lol that's my step 1 too hahaha
