Two Handle Kitchen Faucet Repair - Moen 

PERFECT! Everybody should shoot repair videos exactly like she has done this. Exactly! totally informative, slow enough, no music, every precaution, freebie and tool and the how you end up doing it solutions. Hire this Lady!

It's nice to see that a woman will do home plumbing projects and explain each step of the process slowly and clearly. This is exactly what I need to do with my kitchen faucet in Argentina. I watched several videos that didn't address the leak at the joint. Thanks.

Thanks Diane! Could not have got the spout cap off without you. It was on tight!

I totally agree. Clear, informative voice over, very pro job.

Thankyou very much, diane r, for posting this video. That jar cap gripper was a great idea. I didn't have one so I used two wraps of a wide rubber band and it worked equally well.

Just wanted to say thank you for taking the time and putting up this most helpful video. Got my parts from Moen and followed your steps. Success! Appreciate you.

excellent video! I ordered washer replacement from Amazon - got it next day. Just finished repairing my Moen and no leaks! yeehaw

THANKS SO MUCH. lol I'm heading for my local family owned hardware store later today (they are the BEST) I'll take your video with me so they'll know what I'm talking about. As FOR the fork, oh good glory, WHO knows, I've been working on this for THREE days!#! GREAT way to spend NEW years, at least it's about done. THANKS again Diane

Great video

Thanks a lot for the video Diane. I am having the exact same problem, although my Moen 2-handle kitchen faucet has model # 87423 that I bought in January 2010. I am still waiting for o-rings from Moen, but, when I receive them, I'll do repair based on your video.

Thank you so much for this video. You truly are a gem

Most helpful. Thank you very much.

The model number for this faucet is 87413 (stamped on the rear of the spout). The current moen part numbers for the parts: the o-rings is 96778. Tthe bearing washer kit:100251. To replace the o-ring on the cap, it comes as a kit, the metal top with the o-ring: 100250. If you are getting free warranty parts, Moen is a little stingy with this kit. Eventually the o-ring will fail and leak. I tried to buy o-rings from a hardware store.(about .50 cents each) I did not have success finding the correct o-rings. I am pretty sure these are odd size o-rings.

I wish I'd found your video b4 I tore my faucet apart. lol I liked your handy tool for the washers. I was desperate and used a fork which ended up being ok. Thanks for your video!! OH, are there any washers that are spose to go inside the pipe? I have to tear mine apart again because I have a leak at the bottom. ugh!!! THANKS again.

Awesome thanks so much!

My main water supply is very strong..After replacing the cartridges the pressure is still very slow. I think the problem is in the base of the spout. (clogged hard water Etc) Can I pour some White Vinagar in the base to open it up?

Great video thanks so much 🙌

Thank you so much for sharing this video

You shouldn't have to turn the water off, as the water flow is controlled with the handles, not the spout. Just remember not to turn the handles on while replacing the spout parts.

My faucet is leaking where you said but also from under the sink in the middle spout area. Do you think this is related to these washers you've replaced or do I have an additional issue with the faucet? Thanks

Does the washer in the cap stay about midway in the cap because it looks that way?

more light please!

Good video but hard to see replacement of o rings and washers because of the poor lighting..tx

This is faucet is made with a lifetime warranty which means the o-rings and bearing washers are expected to last FOREVER. You probably could have just soaked the parts in vinegar to remove the buildup of minerals and then applied food grade grease. The faucet would have been good as new. Like mine. I wonder how many of these faucet have gone to the dump simply for lack of mineral deposit buildup and lack of lubrication! Most people would just throw the "bad" faucet in the trash, and get a new one. Moen should be ashamed of themselves for creating a product that so easily can be disabled. Mine was only about three years old when it started to squeak. Video is bit slow, but some people need that reduced speed of explanation. I have to thank you for the info on the cap removal; that it screws on/off. However, I used a rubber strap wrench from my collection of unique tools. NEVER use pliers on a chrome plated part. The thin chrome is easily damaged. You could have made a strap wrench with a leather belt. The Moen lousy parts diagram does not show the cap as being threaded!
