OK. I'm back. My confidence was shaken when it came time to the little stick and hook part, but it's done. In the first attempt at water, we had a leak. 😬 But it was a simple fix that we thought we actually had right. The water hose was crooked. When I say we, as in my son and I. Honestly, this was such a good lesson in how we work together, how we communicate, and how we can have grace with one another. He's 21 yrs old and raised by my single self, and I appreciate us learning together. I can tell you now that we both know how to change out a sink. Hopefully it won't take as long next time. 😅 We had the tools but lacked knowledge. There were so many life lessons, all just from changing a sink. 🙏🏾 Anywho, thanks again. ❤

Love to see you doing vids like this. As someone who works as a plumber, this is almost exactly how it would be done professionally. A few things for next time, the gasket on the pop-up drain has the beveled edge facing the sink so it seals, and it would be a good idea to hold the cut off valves while replacing the supply lines so you don't risk breaking a water line. This isn't right or wrong, but I like to take the drainage out first, then do everything else, and re-install the drain last. It gives you more room in the cabinet. All in all great video keep up the good work. I would 100% recommend to someone

Nice video as always! One thing worth to notice: When opening up the valves for the hot and the cold water, turn them till they're completely opened and then close them a little again. If there is some biuldup happening in the valve over time it doesnt render it uncloseable cause you can then break that loose by opening the valve a little and afterwards it should be good to close.

@erikcarson13732 жыл бұрын
Great tutorial. I would like to add, if I may, a time and knuckle saving tip. The plastic nuts that hold the faucet on the sink from below are big enough to slide over there supply hoses. This means you can attach the hoses to the faucet before you install it. Doing this means you don't have to try and get a wrench up behind the sink basin. If you have ham hands like me this space is always to tight. Now you can slip the nut up around the hose to the bottom of the faucet and hand tighten. There are a couple of different specialty wrenches that are designed to work in tight spaces that help with this but I have found they are not necessary If you attach the hoses in advance.

Thanks for the tip, unfortunately they weren’t big enough. The nut on the supply line was huge so it wouldn’t fit over it. I tried lol.

Love your channel Chris! Been watching it for years. Just a little advice from someone who’s installed about a thousand faucets. Considering I use to be a plumber. You put the rubber gasket upside down that connects to the bottom of the sink. I always liked to put pipe dope on it too and also every time I connect any tubular drainage. No worries tho if it doesn’t leak who cares. Just throwing it out. Thanks for all your great content.

@@chrisfix Most folks don't understand how these sink drains work. Where you lined up the overflow isn't necessary; there's an annular space between the drain tube and sink casting to ensure water will drain however it's oriented. And there's no point in using plumbers putty under the top piece like you do with kitchen sinks since it doesn't need to seal there; anything getting past it goes into that annular overflow space and drains correctly. The narrow end of the conical washer goes up like Tyler said; this centers the drain in the opening. There should be a washer between that and the nut (paper, plastic, or metal). Do not overtighten that nut or you can strip out the threads where the top piece is attached but it needs to be snugged well. Whenever you change a part in a drain which uses slip rings, it's best to loosen all the slip connectors slightly until it's assembled to realign things, then tighten the slip rings in order from top (inlet) to wall (outlet). None of the drain pipe should need to be tightened with tools; if it doesn't seal like that you need new slip ring, but sometimes an extra 1/16 turn will work. Now wipe it all well with a dry towel or paper towels. And always fill the sink, ensuring the overflow is working, then dump the sinkfull of water down the drain all at once. If you see water, fix it and try again. If you see no water wipe each joint one at a time with toilet paper which will show even a tiny trace of leakage. I'm a Master Carpenter who learned what I know of plumbing from a NYC-licensed Master Plumber where plumbing inspections are the tightest in the world. Glad this went well and super-easy for you- there's about a dozen things which could have happened which would require specialized tools and/or a different approach to get the job done. With some of those problems toy can easily create a nightmare for the plumber you'll have to call to fix things and he's going to charge you for that, so if things are beyond what you know, stop; while you're ahead. DIY is great till you get in over your head and make expensive avoidable mistakes.

@@chrisfix My bad!.. The last few I've done were kitchen faucets which had all the supply connections run through the centre hole. Almost all bathroom faucets are still like yours where this is impossible. My suggestion for your next vid would be push fit shut offs. They're something I find very satisfying and often very necessary whenever it's time to replace the faucet. Don't forget about reeming and purging the copper flakes before reattaching to the faucet though! I had to replace a cartridge in a brand new shower recently when a stray flake got stuck in the cartridge causing it to stay open a tiny bit and drip.

A washing machine, lawnmower as example was not out of the ordinary to see. I like the reference for April fool's. I also watch DIY videos for the household along with fixing vehicles, even though I know how to fix or replace a faucet and have done them recently, I still watched the video.
