Best explanation and walk-thru by far. Thank you. Most of the other videos has zero commentary, very vague, skips a few steps and droned out with loud music.
You totally rock!! You thoroughly explained it and saved my husband from agony when we were trying to figure out how to connect 2 pipes that were different in size. Thank you, my vessel sink is done 🙂
Nice and helpful installation video. I like how you explained the different washers, direction, and what was replaced in the p-trap kit versus P-trap adapter fitting into the wall.
Big Thanks...really helped since I couldn't find the info I needed for ensure a proper seal of the drain to the sink...the original instructions only showed use of a flimsy thin rubber washer that spells leak city. I really liked the use of silicon to solve this concern.
I was taught (long time ago, but it was a This Old House episode where they were actually doing real people's old houses :-) that you should use plumbers putty on the underside of the drain fitting where it rests on the sink and to NOT put anything on the threads. I've not had any issues with any of the sinks I've fitted that way over the years. A little jar of it from Ace Hardware lasts forever.
I learned to use plumber's putty ass well years ago, but it seems from research more plumbers are using silicone now, so I gave it a try. It makes sense to me - less brittle over time than putty. Only time will tell!
brings back a lot of memory. Good thing that you copper pipe was well anchored in that back wall. Like i said, memories....good and, not so good. Great job as always.
Thank you for this video. It was extremely helpful... One problem I have with the installation is that there is 4" space between the p-trap and the sink drain. The pipe coming out of the wall is too low. What type of extension do I need to connect the p-trap to the drain pipe?
1:25 if you apply the silicon caulking to the thread of the rubber ring, aren't you then going to smear the caulking over the threads on the tailpiece? ...and you'll end up gluing your locking nut to the tailpiece? (which would make potentially removing it in the future nearly impossible) The tailpiece of the drain pipe that I just installed had no threads where the rubber gasket went (and thus didn't need any caulking!). It also used a special locking nut (much deeper than the one you used).
Love the vanity unit and for sure going to do something similar in my reno but quick question.....what do you use on the walls. I love the cladding but curious if you bought it or routed a plank and painted. Looks awesome 👏
One big mistake. You need a larger hole in the wood so that the washer attaches directly to the sink, not to the wood. You might get away with only the silicone seal at the top if the sink does not have an overflow but it should always have a watertight seal at the bottom.
The faucet came with an overflow drain so I had to shop for another- I had no idea that drains cost that much. The vanity has a drawer that will intersect with the drain- how short can I cut the pop up drain to attach to a horizontal pipe before dropping to the p-trap ?
@@DIYMontreal I have a glass bowl and it still moves. I'll try some other methods but good video overall. Very clear instructions. Thanks for the reply.
Mala la instalación, el desague no se fija a la madera con el tapón conico, si llegara a filtrar afectara directamente a la madera y se notara cuando ya este manchada, con moho y podrida. El tubo de desague se apreta con la goma conica y luego la turca conta el vanitorio y la perforacion tiene que ser mayor a la tuerca de aprete para que baje libre y se aplica un buen cordon de silicona para que el vanitorio quede estable y se pegue bien a la base de madera aislando cualquier filtración.
Supposed to have valves in the back of the thing to turn it off in case something goes wrong I don't see no valves behind to turn the water off you didn't show me very much then thank you
You did okay, for a women lol. Now, the guys have another reason not to have plumbers crack. Wait! does this mean the ladies will have a plumber's crack? Hmm!
