Bathroom Faucet and Drain Replacement 

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

Very through and explains all steps clearly and professionally. Thank you so very much!

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!

I agree so glad to see a real world video complete with lots of problems.

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.

It's awesome that you kept in the issues you ran into and how you solved them. Thank you!!

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.

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.

Thanks so much! I was afraid to this myself but now I think I can!

Very helpful to include working through the challenges you faced.

Beautiful cats ❤️❤️❤️❤️🐈🐈🐈🐈 and awesome video

LOVE your added touch at end… drinking a glass of water from your new install job!! Lol puurrrrrfect!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉💗👍🙌🙌🙌🙏👏👏👏👏😁

Dude this was soooooo helpful. Easy to follow! Life saver!

Thanks, great job explaining step by step. Nice kitty cats , tool

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 😊

i like the way you removed the leak at 16:54. Its all good man, great honest video, you are not afraid

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.

Step 1 is always the hardest part of any project. 🐈🐈‍⬛ 😂

This was incredibly informative and completely comprehensible. 👏🏻

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.

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.

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.

In this mostly clear video you completely glossed over the ONLY part I actually needed. How do you unscrew the top of the drain?

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!

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..

VERY INFORMATIVE THANKS

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.

very good. better than two others that I watched.

Success! This video helped me install my new Moen bathroom faucet-no leaks so far. Well done!! Appreciate you. Happy holidays Know it All!!

I just can belive you made a video for this!!!! I just can't!!!

Best video for do it yourselfers. Thank you thank you thank you! Great job!!!!!!!!

10/10 tutorial very sink informative.

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.

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.

Did you not use silicone sealant on the gasket beneath the faucet?

Thank you. Great video. Tight space but your explanation was clear. TFS

Thank you for the video, it was really helpful. Without knowing i bought the same faucet 👍

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 the explanation, great job.

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.

Wonderful video. I've replaced several faucets, but one complaint I have is that you should have removed the aerator your new faucet. There could have been debris left behind from the old faucet you removed that may clog up the water flow.

Great video!! Very helpful. Thankyou!

Thank you, my friend...helped a bunch!

Wow and you did it in such a tight area!!!

Wow so many things can go wrong lol… I hope it will be easier than this for me 😂🙌🏽

Try installing 1/4 turn angle compression valves. They work well to stop leaking.

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?

Great job! Thanks for the video!

I did this exactly and the faucet is leaking from thr hose

Good job

Great video

Thank you 👍

It was very helpful thanks brother

Rockiest ever seen

I was able to do this in no time, thanks 😊

Nice video, doing mine today. Thank you.

Thank you for this video !

Thanks Si yo entendí que no se inglés Cualquiera puede entender este video!

Although plumbers putty was needed in my sink hole drain stopper. There was no way I could get it to tighten enough without leaking

Thanks!

Great video!!!👍💪🤜🤛

such hard work great job

Thank you this will help

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?

Step 1 remove the cats lmaoo

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.

Fantastic Man!!

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.

thank you. i will do that.

I see you have the price of the faucet, but how much for the cat?

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Nice Job!

Thank you sooooooo much brotha. Seriously. Thank you. Have a great day!!!! ( night, everything whatever ) thank you bud. Thank you.

I always turn off the main water valve in the basement to prevent drips. :)

Thank you soooo much!! You have a new subbie.

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

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

Genius

How much dues a plumber charge for a job like this one?

Thank you for this

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.

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!

One question, you don’t use putty mud to seal?

AND I see you have a Mavic Air...gonna check that video now.

I have the same faucet how do i get the filter part off without pliers? don't want to crush the piece

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

I just replaced mine but now my water isn't running. Any tips?

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?

Hard to watch when water is leaking. But thanks for sharing.

What did you use to cut the piece off?

Should check for black widows before you stick you hand back up behind sink to unscrew nuts..ware gloves be good idea..
