EASY: Replacing a Kitchen Sink Faucet - Step by Step Tutorial 

It’s not nearly as difficult as many people think. You don’t need a plumber just to swap one out.

@@TightWadDIY , i did

There is a small hole on the bottom of the handle. There is a hex (Allen) screw in there. Tighten that to get it tight again. Mine did the same thing.

@@TightWadDIY Thanks, I looked closely and is similar, my model is 7185C and doesn't have the bottom hole for the screw. Guess I have to keep researching.

I’m glad to hear you feel empowered to accomplish some of your own repairs!

@@TightWadDIY I will let you know how it goes! Plan to work on the shower/tub fixtures next!!

I recommend buying the correct size wrench before you mess it up even more.

Hopefully you nailed it first try this time!

Thanks! I really appreciate it.

Thank you for the kind comment. I really appreciate it. I’m a school teacher and have also been making videos for about 5 years so I’ve improved with time.

@@TightWadDIY Lucky students! 👏 Thanks for sharing your gifts to spread knowledge-I believe teaching to be one of the highest callings in life (not limited to institutional learning). 🙏✨💕 In so many instances, it’s not the subject people dislike, it’s the teaching style. With the right person explaining the topic, potentially ANY subject could be interesting. And being on RU-vid, you’re not limited to how many students the fire marshal deems safe to cram into a classroom. I’m 46, and didn’t think it was fair or reasonable for my quality of education to be affected solely by how many students could fit into a physical space. Schools hire so many incompetent faculty, and word always got around which instructors were good. If we didn’t have priority registration, we had the lazy dummy (who never should’ve been hired) as our remaining option, and there were semesters where I didn’t have even ONE ☝️ decent instructor. I never attended great schools, at any level, but that shouldn’t matter. If the student is curious and competent to learn, then meet them where they are. I consider the pre-Internet era the Dark Ages. RU-vid confirms for me that I’ve always had GREAT taste in teachers, and being a lifelong learner is such a delight now. Such a smorgasbord of options available for mental consumption! ✨🧠 ✨ Only problem is, there aren’t enough hours in the day to take it all in! 😮 Thanks again for the videos. Look forward to checking out the others. 👍

@@MoPoppins I agree. Selecting the correct professors was key when I was in college. I like that you can find someone online who teaches in the style you prefer!

Yes! You can do it! Sorry yours was broken though.

I’m glad you found the video! I always do my best to post every step. Be sure to subscribe.

That’s great! I’m glad you found the video helpful!

How did it go?

That’s great! I’m glad it worked for you too!

I’m glad it worked for you too.!

Sorry I really don’t know.

You’ve got this!

It’s really not difficult. You can do it!

That’s great! How did your install go?

That's great!

Great! I’m glad you were able to get it replaced!

How did your install go?

Uh-oh.

It has been a great upgrade! I had to tiighten the handle one time but was likely user error.

Great! Hopefully your install is really smooth.

It’s plastic.

If there is a rubber seal, you don’t need the Teflon tape. You CAN do this!

Are you sure you have water at the valve?

That’s great!

I’m glad you found it helpful and were able to get yours upgraded!

This is a great intro to plumbing for a young person. I’m glad it gave you time to bond.

My pleasure.

That’s great! I’m glad it worked for you too!

Great! I hope some of the tips helped!

@@TightWadDIY All of them. 😁 Thanks again.

How did the install go?

Great! I’m glad you got it done!

I honestly don’t remember but I’m sure you could. Sorry.

You’re welcome!

I assume it’s held up with something like liquid nails or silicone and some type of brackets. I’m not positive though.

@TightWadDIY it Def is some kind of liquid nail stuff because I seen it gewwy looking. I wouldn't think liquid nail would support such weight. I'll get around to going to the hardware store to ask. (When it completely falls onto the bottom of my cabinet 😄) 😊 Thanks!!

You are welcome. Hopefully your install is painless.

Thank you! I’m a school teacher so I’m used to providing instruction.

My pleasure!

Is a Moen Kaden and is about $200. Here is a link. amzn.to/3MUhQ49

Great! I hope your install went well.

Make a diffence

You are welcome! It’s a fairly easy task once you know the steps.

Did you try a pair of channel locks? You could shut off the water main for your whole house.

You are welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

I’m hope you feel equipped to get the job done now! Let us know how it goes.

I’ll look that up.

Replace: fill the role of (someone or something) with a substitute

Did you try tapping it with a hammer to see if it will break free?

That stinks. What a pain.

My pleasure!

The braided hose I removed was 14 years old and was badly frayed. I don’t know how long it lasted before fraying.

That’s a good idea.

Do you have the same model I have? I would think it would push through.

Thanks!

You can replace just the hose. I disconnect the hose in this video so you should be able to see how it’s done. Sorry I don’t have a second video for that.

@@TightWadDIY thank you!

By third line are you referring to the flex hose?

Basically there is a valve inside the fixture that mixes the water from the hot and cold line then sends it out of the third copper line that connects to the hose.

I just installed mine today no Teflon tape works good no leaks, if your sink has three holes you have to use the deck plate don't forget to put silicone caulking underneath that.

It’s not needed but won’t hurt if you use it.

@@TightWadDIY glad you said that, I have to use my plate but wondered if I needed to seal it.

hagsag460 It’s similar. I have a video for that too. Here is the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-24txH4gnl7M.html

Oh no! I must have already been cracked.
