Your video deserves more views. 100% showed me how to do this job. My sink doesn't leak anymore and the action is as smooth as butter. Thanks for making such a clear how to.
Well thank you, 98xjdriver, for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and nice comment. It truly means a lot to me. I love hearing success stories like yours, and you're certainly welcome. Job well done on fixing the leak!
Thanks! The best kitchen faucet DIY I’ve ever seen. The explanations and names of parts were right on cue. I went to my local hardware store speaking as if I knew exactly what I wanted, requesting items by name. I was impressed with myself! I wish I could give you more but it did cost a good amount for the supplies. Again, thanks for the video.
Leatrice, bless your sweet heart. You don't owe me a thing. Your gratitude and thoughtful comment is all I needed. And, look at you all BOSS at the hardware store! AWESOME! I'm so VERY proud of you, impressed with you and happy for you. RESPECT!
Word of caution for those who have an older home ie plumbing turning the shut off valves can cause these to leak. If you haven't touched these in 15, 20 years that was my experience now I have to replace both valves. I was able to tighten the nut on one but other leaks a lot. I fixed the leaky faucet though, just a word of caution but otherwise hands down this is the best how to video on You Tube.
Very well done. I prefer simple instructions with few words and to the point. I have been following instructions videos and this was very helpful thank you.
This is an excellent demonstration video. The maker uses clear, precise instructions as she demonstrates the step. I thank you for this much needed video.
Yes, my single handle faucet continues to drip after you try to turn off the water. Thank you for that vivid illustration. I think I have just been empowered with the knowledge to take on that job. Thank you so much.
This video should be a model for anyone posting a "how-to-do-it." It's clear, concise, tells you exactly what you need to know without wasting time on fluff. Extremely helpful!
Another success story here! Thank you for your video with clear and easy to follow instructions. No fluff and straight to the point. I did a whole disassembly of my Delta faucet, cleaned and greased everything, and it turns out I didn't need to replace any parts. Just had to tighten the top crown.
LOL! Thank you, Roy. I think my sister and I were born with tools in our hands. We both really enjoy tinkering with and fixing stuff. It's challenging and satisfying.
Jim Weaver, your video was fantastic, been fixing this kitchen faucet for about 15 years and never knew there were O rings under the head...slid it off added new O rings, and not leaking at the moment... pretty sure that was what was giving me all the grief ...
💥💥💥Loved your great video, thank you. Pictures of each step & your explanation of the parts & exactly what you were doing. Very detailed & straight to the point - very professional. I'm confident I can fix my faucet. I'll definitely be watching your other videos. Thank you again. 🥰 💥💥🚰
Thank you so much for this video. It was so easy to understand and follow. For the first time doing plumbing on a sink, I did it and it stopped the leak! And I used the silicone grease and now the faucet easily moved smoothly back and forth. Actually, it's a little too easy now, compared to what it did before. I'll just have to adjust for it.
Didn't work so good for me. The faucet is 13 years old. Had a heck of a time getting it apart. After struggling to get the handle off after loosening the screw I couldn't turn the adjusting ring with the little spanner wrench due to the hard water build up.. Soaked everything with WD-40 for a while and but still the ring wouldn't turn. Had to use a screwdriver and hammer to get the ring to turn. The swivel spout didn't want to lift up either. Had to use a crowbar to pry it up. O rings were bad and so were the seats. Now the locknut won't screw into the cap after cleaning the hard water deposits from it. Took my parts to Lowes where I bought it to get some new ones but they don't sell Price Pfister anymore so I couldn't get my parts. Went to two plumbing stores but they didn't have them either. Looks like I'm going to have to buy a new faucet. What a nightmare it's been. UPDATE: I called Price Pfister to order the parts but the faucet has been discontinued and no parts are available. So price Pfister isn't going to honor their lifetime warranty.
So ours was originally just dripping. I bought a sink kit, but it turns out the ball is different from ours. It looks like maybe the o rings and seats and springs are also slightly different. Now it is leaking near the base of the faucet arm. This sink faucet looks exactly like mine. When I took it apart, it was literally the same. Would anyone know what model and brand this faucet is? I think I need to go to a local hardware store to find the rubber parts, retaining nut and cap to replace. Thankfully it is not a complete disaster. Water is not spraying everywhere. I would just like to repair it without having to pay hundreds of dollars for a Plummer.
Great tutorial, but I have no idea how to identify what brand and model my faucet is in order to purchase seats and springs. Guess I'll have to buy a whole new faucet.
Very thorough steps, thank you, I followed your instructions and replaced the o rings on my delta single handle kitchen faucet, but it still leaks, the leak is from the top of the spout body, any idea?
So if it's dripping from the end we just do the seats and springs and not the other? Is there anything on the end of the faucet to deal with? Another video from one of the big box stores basically said to buy the entire kit and replace everything. I have replaced seats in springs for my bathroom faucet before... It's going to have to be this weekend before I can handle this because I'm about to leave town so I'm just going to turn the water off while I'm gone so it doesn't drip. I really wish I could tackle this this morning though
My leak seems to be coming from the lines as they enter the faucet assembly, but tightening them does not resolve the issue. I’m not sure what to try next
Best video for this repair I've seen yet.👍 But for whatever reason, I Cannot get the seats & springs to seat. Been working with the both sides for over 2 days, meaning running outside turning water on only for a few minutes at a time because since they're not seated, now instead of the dripping faucet that I started with, I now have a running one. I've tried pressing with my fingers, and with various rounded ends of different tools. Even with the ball itself (Wondered why I didn't think of that long ago🙄. And was sure that would work👍😁. NOT). I've even tried, while pressing down, using the point of a steak knife, 'wedging it in' all around... Would just replace the whole faucet, but 'things' underneath the sink are so old and corroded 😳... I don't want to go from almost psycho to absolute madness (Undersink leak?!? Under house leak?!?!?! Just bury me now ⚰). Any advice, anyone??? And to those of you with 'funny bones'🙄, please don't suggest a plumber. Not unless you're paying. Added-- Oh. I also tried a different set of seats and springs.
it does help thanks for the video. I have a question what gasket kit did you buy my dad's faucet is just like yours and I was wondering if there was a model or name or something
Great, simple video! 👏 can someone please advise? Mine is a very similar Delta single lever faucet. It was dripping out of the spout. Disassembly and replacement of seat and springs went great. Cleaned, greased and reassembled. Lever was so smooth. Leak at spout stopped but now it's slowly seeping out of the base and theres NO HOT WATER! What the heck?? Yes main water shut off is back on and cold and hot shut off valves are back on. Thanks in advance 🙂
I can't praise this excellent video enough - it made repairing my faucet so easy! Thank you so much for taking the time to make such a helpful guide! This gets a big 👍!!!
LOL, Carol! That nonsense bothers me too. It's a bunch of time wasting for the sake of making videos longer than they need to be so the "content creator" can more money. SMH
Thank you so much!! Your instructions were EXACTLY what I needed to fix my Price-Fister FWK1140c kitchen faucet!!! Every tip that you mentioned was "right on the money" (I hate using "spot on"). I tried doing things out of sequence and failed. I followed your video and everything came out PERFECT!! Thank you again!!
This how i make my videos. Step by step explain and straight to the point. Thank keep making more videos. Most other videos tell a whole story before showing you how to fix the item.
Thank you. Re the cap--I'd try a large pair of Vice Grips or Channel Locks to remove the cap. Make sure you put something between the cap and tool to protect the finish on the cap or you will scratch the finish.
This video was at the perfect pace for me to fix my single lever faucet in my rv. Thank you for being so clear and using the correct terms for all those parts I was calling “thingies”…(black cap thingie, white plastic thingie with notch on left side…LOL). I’m a fan!
Thank you, Nigel, for taking the time to write such a wonderful comment. It means a lot to me--truly. And, certainly, you're most welcome. Happy DIYing!
I don't know the name of the tool, but it comes in the repair kit you can buy that has all of the parts you need to repair the faucet. The tool is a wrench made to remove and tighten the retaining nut. Look online and you'll see the repair kits. Lowe's and Home Depot have them, too.
Thank you very much for an excellent tutorial on how to fix my leaky faucet! My husband said it would be too difficult than I saw your video and said if she can do it, so can you! Lol! I have sent him this video so he can watch it And then hopefully fix my leaky faucet, if not well, at least I know how to do it myself! Love your channel!
Hello! Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I appreciate that--truly. I'm confident both you and your husband can fix the faucet. You'll save so much money and learn so much, too. It's a fun project. ;)
Many thanks for this video, I got my faucet working better than it ever has before. That silicone grease made it so easy to turn on I accidentally slam it open cause I am used to the tension it used to take to open it.
Btw, if you call Delta, they will send you the part, but you'll have to send them a picture of your faucet unless you know the model number. Although then it will take 8-10 days to arrive. I live right around the corner from an HD, so I could have been there and back in less time than it took to make that phone call.
@@frugaldiy1 I will say SPECIAL THANKS to you saving lot of my money. Before watching your video I called plumber to replace whole tap but he wasn't available. I WATCHED YOUR VIDEO, yesterday I ordered cartridge on amazon priority delivery, today REPLACED it myself. And JOB IS DONE.
That's WONDERFUL to hear, Muhammed. Thank you for telling me. It truly warms my DIY heart to hear you saved your hard-earned money and learned to fix the faucet yourself. Now, you know you can fix just about anything, and I'm rooting for you! ;)
