A nice step by-step-video! To be on the safe side, I always put a rag at the bottom of the sink bowl so I don't accidentally drop anything down the drain like a screw or part or etc. The rag also protects the sink bowl from any scratches from tools or parts. Keep up the great work!

@JohannnesBrahms 3 года назад

Really good videography in that tight space with great lighting. And a job expertly done!

@GodLovesUsSoMuch 2 года назад

Excellent tutorial, thank you!

@SierraOne 3 года назад

Great video Good filming in tight quarters! Much Obliged- Thanks

@davidmckinney6577 3 года назад

Good video buddy 👍 I like the faucet I guess you will keep it besides throwing it out I never saw one like that

@tvrpaul71 2 года назад

I just installed this very same faucet and you can put that whole bracket to hold the faucet before you place everything in the holes , just get them started you may have to angle them as you put them in the hole , now everything is attached for you to tighten from below, you don't have to struggle putting everything on and then getting the nut to tighten. I thought it was going to be a problem but everything fit from the top of the sink when putting the faucet on. In fact I attached the water hose on the faucet before I put everything through the holes in the sink, you can tighten them better this way

Great video as always. I have replaced/installed 100's of Moen faucets and I always put that sticker on the inside of the cabinet door and write the install date on it with a sharpie. Makes for much easier identification when you need parts. Just a suggestion. Keep the content coming.

@BenjaminSahlstrom 3 года назад

Good suggestion! It's always a pain getting the model number off of the sticker when it's way up behind everything.

@jjyemg2397 3 года назад

you don't put a sticker on wood. That's are carpenter's nightmare. Do what chris cotton said. Stick it on the sink underside and cover with clear plastic tape if needed

Hey. How is the mini split doing with heat this winter? I’m in North Indiana and want to know your experience.

@jjyemg2397 3 года назад

at 11:00 it's a stem seal and you can buy a rebuild kit for those hot/cold shut offs at box stores

@TheHamadanners 3 года назад

8:44 thread tape or pipe dope is not a sign of a novice. Its a sign of some one that cares enough to have a back up when the washer fails.

@monogee Год назад

If I didn't use Plumber's Tape, guaranteed when I turn on the water, it would start dripping around the connections. LOL

@Eddy63 3 года назад

Nice replacement even tho the older faucet was nicer ... Lol ...

@BenjaminSahlstrom 3 года назад

Haha exactly!

@jamess1787 3 года назад

I had the same one, can't find replacement cartridges nor suitable O rings. Started to leak, let it drip. Then another seal failed and it dripped and absorbed into my MDF vanity. Cheap belongs in the trash, Moen all the way. Lifetime investment.

@BBQPitmaster626 3 года назад

Benjamin, will you do videos on solar?

@jjyemg2397 3 года назад

MOEN used to guarantee for life to the original purchaser/owner all replaceable parts or defective parts. The warranty is not as good now. Go to MOEN's site and Read the fine print on what you are buying

@pepsicolachao4537 3 года назад

The old faucet is so cool! Why’d you replace it?

@BenjaminSahlstrom 3 года назад

Customer didn't like it! I agree with you completely though.

@ManiacalMichael504 3 года назад

If any air gets in the line, that kind of faucet will spray out at you. Bet that happened and they had enough of it.

@BenjaminSahlstrom 3 года назад

@@ManiacalMichael504 True. I've experienced that myself!

@AdrianJayeOnline 3 года назад

yeah I agree, it's very funky, I would have replaced like for like

@ApartmentMaintenancePOV Год назад

What tool bag are you using there, Ben? 12:08

@6sensory 3 года назад

The "novice" statement was interesting. In Florida, the addition of thread tape or anti-seize will prevent the dissimilar metals corrosion - gasket or otherwise

@BenjaminSahlstrom 3 года назад

True! I have used thread sealant for this purpose in certain circumstances.

@JohnstonPettigrew 3 года назад

What is that white pipe supply on the hot/cold?.....it isn't cpvc, copper or pex.....??

@jacksak 3 года назад

Ben, Are you only working part time for the HVAC business because you're going for your electrician's license now? I remember you said you were thinking about doing that. (PS: I subscribed some time ago.)

@ulbhpy 3 года назад

Like your videos. Why replace a nicer faucet with a basic one?

@BenjaminSahlstrom 3 года назад

New home owners didn't like the waterfall style.

@6sensory 3 года назад

If you place the sticker on the cabinet inside wall under a piece of clear plastic, you won't have to go nearly as far as you've made it (behind the bowl)

@jjyemg2397 3 года назад

good tip Chris

@tomintoledo372 3 года назад

Usually the manufacture recommends to take the aerator off and flush the faucet for one minute to clear the system, just saying, thanks for the video.

@johnsutter1497 3 года назад

Are you a plumbing heating cooling contractor? Is it a family business? Thank you

@BenjaminSahlstrom 3 года назад

Yes. I work part time for my dad's HVAC company now but worked full time for many years.

@mr.g937 3 года назад

You spent the full $80 on the Moen adler? Do they ever go on sale?

@BenjaminSahlstrom 3 года назад

Yup! I'm sure they go on sale once in awhile but that's pretty normal.

@AdrianJayeOnline 3 года назад

a great step by step video, but I am afraid you are wrong on one thing, you must and should use thread sealer. professional plumbers use it, the rubber gasket in some case will NOT stop water leakage.

@publicmail2 3 года назад

Never turn off shutoffs under sink if old, use water main.

@bobby_greene 3 года назад

Even more important for gas lines

@BenjaminSahlstrom 3 года назад

We usually use the valves under the sink and replace them if necessary.

@harrisonkatzz7090 3 года назад

BEN all shut off valve in the world must be turned in a half turn so the valve does not seize to the body .

@mr.g937 3 года назад

Also, why no silicone or plumber's putty under the gasket?

@BenjaminSahlstrom 3 года назад

Really not necessary in my opinion but it never hurts I suppose!

@jamesliu3688 3 года назад

You do need it

@sabriath 3 года назад

"That's how you can tell a novice installed it" ... threading doesn't cost much at all, and I've had situations where the end of a thread had burrs in it and left just enough gap where it would leak 1 drop per hour. This is annoying, so I just thread everything....you can call me a novice all you want, but using a condom when your girl is on the pill is twice the protection, doesn't hurt to be safe. lol
