In this video I unbox a Glacier Bay Market Single-Handle Pull-Out Sprayer Kitchen Faucet. It has a Stainless Steel finish. I also go over all of the hardware that is included and then I show how this faucet works.
The main point of this video is to show you all of the hardware that is included and how you can install this faucet yourself simply by understanding how the faucet hardware works.
I do not do a real install but instead walk you through an imaginary install. If you want to see an example of an actual install for part 1001 813 686 you should subscribe now because I will be posting the real install later.
The thing to keep in mind when watching this video is that this faucet is a single arm or handle faucet. It is made really well since it is made with real stainless steel. It is also convenient because you only need one hole in your sink in order to install this faucet.
I installed this Glacier Bay faucet myself. It has been working great so far. My only complaint is that I had to tighten the faucet once because it started leaking from the spout area. What I like best about this specific model (1001 813 686) is the weight that attaches to the end of the sprayer.
It does not get tangled like my old sprayer did because of the unique weight that comes with it. All of the hardware in this video comes with the faucet. That reminds me, I wanted to mention that it comes with some quick connect fittings which I love.
Here is a list of the included hardware:
Faucet
Sprayer
Weight for Sprayer
Washer / Gasket for the sink and faucet meeting point
Decorative Chrome Cover to hide the washer
Hot water Supply Line
Cold Water Supply Line
Faucet Spray Line
Quick Connect fitting to mount faucet to sink
Quick Connect fittings for the sprayer

I have learned how to put on my pull down faucet from looking at your video. I brought the new faucet over a year ago. While the old faucet leaked into my basement. I swear I was ready to pay my neighbor $50 dollars to do what you explained in the most simple terms. I have watched video after video for a year, Looked at the instructions. Got frustrated put the whole faucet and box of tricks back on the shelf. Tonight is 03/26/2021. Between 2/3am. I understand how to install my single handle pull down faucet. Thank you. I'm now your student.

I just bought this faucet at Home Depot and installed it. I'm not a plumber but am a DIY guy, saved $120 labor by doing this. The install went very smooth, working under a counter inside a cabinet isn't the most comfortable experience but it's doable. I'm 74 and got it done. Los Angeles

@RayStein 8 месяцев назад

I agree totally. It is tight quarters under a sink and hard to move your arms under there. I had a few choice words with my sink every time I bumped my elbow or had to twist to reach something but am glad I saved some money.

Please note ******** some of us have been having problems with this faucet leaking after 1 year of usage. If you have not bought one yet I would try something else. If you already bought one and want to chance it this video will help you install it. Hopefully you will have better luck than I did.

@bikechannel4931 4 года назад

I agree!!!!! 13-14 months after installing the exact same faucet it failed. I'm thankful I was home and noticed the water leaking. Something failed internally my guess is the shut off valve inside the faucet..... I was lucky I made it to home depot and bought a new basic moan for 79.99 CDN before they closed for the night. No time to return the glacier bay, just more money down the drain. Don't buy this faucet!

I have had bad luck with every faucet I've tried. I recently bought the cheapest one because my expensive ones were failing. So far it's working.

We just bought the same faucet and I will install this weekend. The problem will be getting the old faucet off as it has a metal nut to loosen and it is very tough to get a wrench in there. Plus, it is all rusted around the nut. Hoping for the best. Thanks for the video as it will be helpful on the install portion.

@RayStein 4 года назад

I wish you all the luck with your new faucet. My faucet started leaking near the handle because my kids were rough on it. I was able to tighten it a few times but they eventually did it in. The good news is I can make another video on my next faucet. lol

@uptownphotography 4 года назад

@@RayStein I still have not installed out faucet yet. I am actually on the fence about returning it and getting a better well known brand. How long before yours started leaking? It seems strange they make it where you can't replace the pull out spray handle. Would you buy the same brand again?

@RayStein 4 года назад

@@uptownphotography No. I wish I had never purchased this faucet. I had other people tell me theirs started leaking too and they could not fix it either. From my experience the old fashioned faucets hold up better and can be repaired but they are hard to find these days. The more simple the longer they last. The more fancy faucets with added features and swivel action adds more components and increases the odds of problems. This is one of the only products I reviewed that gave me problems. I installed a cheap used simple faucet in my bathroom and it has never failed me going on 10 years now. The faucets with a separate sprayer seem like the best. It's not about money it's about design and repairability. In terms of brands I have heard good things about Moen but have never tried one and they are expensive.

Thanks for the video. How do you disconnect the existing grey fastmount. In addition to simply turning it counter clockwise, is there something else that should be done to enable it to start turning/loosening?

I squeeze it and then it goes up and down. There is a tab you have to squeeze.

@joshshields9155 5 лет назад

There are so many people out there including myself having problems with the fastmount. I tried to order the old school mounting but from glacier Bay but it's not fitting either. Have you had any problems with the fastmount coming loose, and if so, did you find a way to fix it?

@RayStein 5 лет назад

I had a problem now as well. I sprung a leak and went to the Home Depo and complained. I actually decided to try a different faucet because too many of us are having problems. I'm sorry I even filmed this but hopefully other people will have better luck than we did. I would say you should try something else as well because faucets should last much longer than 1 year. I just bough the cheapest thing they had out of frustration. So far so good.

@joshshields9155 5 лет назад

@@RayStein yeah I kind of figured you get what you pay for. Just wanted to see if there was any hope of fixing it. Either way I'm selling the house it's in and I'm already giving the buyer repair money at closing which covers it, so if they want to they can deal with it. If not it still works ok, just a little wobbly. Glad it didn't completely bust like your faucet though

@RayStein 5 лет назад

Congrats on the closing! I tried taking the faucet apart but it seems to be designed so that it would have to be returned to the factory to be repaired. It seems many products today are more disposable than repairable.

@renerodriguez7236 3 года назад

Why does my fast mount keep coming loose from underneath ? Also can’t get the top faucet to spin by itself from the bottom part

@RayStein 3 года назад

If the faucet won't spin then it's too tight underneath. Try making the fast connect a bit less high. A bunch of us who purchased this have been having major problems with this faucet being defective. My honest advice is to consider returning it or at least let the store know it has an extremely high failure rate and ask for store credit. The cheap one works way better. It's only around $39 and is way more reliable. It's not as fancy but at least it always works: www.homedepot.com/p/Glacier-Bay-Constructor-2-Handle-Standard-Kitchen-Faucet-with-Side-Sprayer-in-Chrome-HD67099-1B01/309237957

@fritzj6803 5 лет назад

My Glacier Bay Market Single-Handle Pull-Down Sprayer is not working properly. I have normal water flow with the hot water, but the cold water is barely flowing out of the faucet. It has a brand new cartridge I installed. What is your suggestion?

@RayStein 5 лет назад

First make sure your cold shutoff is turned all the way counter clockwise. If that does not change things and your old faucet had a strong cold flow I would return the glacier bay and get another. If the cold was slow on both I would try to find the cause of low pressure. Let me know what you find out. Thanks!

Exactly 2 months and it started to leak, called out the plumber paid $90 to tell me the faucet was defective and the plumber wants me to go buy another one and call him back out to reinstall the new one for another $150 and he suggested I buy the $200 Moen. WTH?? Thanks for the video Ray, wished I would have seen it before buying the Glacier Bay the first time, any recommendations on what to buy this time?
