How To Remove a Kitchen Sink

[@markymark6948]

This is probably the best explanation of how to remove a faucet and the entire sink. You just make it easier for us

[@andrearose325]

This was a perfect video. Sink is out, pluming is as shown and off to get our new sink! I wouldn't have been able to do this on my own. Thank you.

[@Formul8or]

I can't even begin to count the amount of your videos I've used over the past year in my house, thanks for all of it!

[@traceytrix1]

EXTREMELY helpful, clear, and concise - thank you very much. After watching your video, I was able to remove my kitchen sink without mishap in about ten minutes. I had never removed a sink until today.

[@chrissy1310]

Hi Tracey! 7 years later from your comment, I am about to remove a Kitchen sink for a new countertop! good job woman!

[@vcvcvc9216]

@@chrissy1310 a year off from you and I just removed my sink for a deep clean and added a new faucet for the first time, I've been bragging to everyone that will listen lol, even showed my cat but he wasn't too impressed.

[@bruceanderson7762]

Hey there, GOOD WORK!

[@devinring1678]

I'm going to tackle my sink today, it's all rotten under the faucet so it won't stay tight. This guy's videos are the best on KZbin. Totally down to earth and detailed for a layman like myself to understand. I've done other house projects in here all thanks to this channel. The best!

[@kimberlyann1029]

Excellent camera work and sound quality, plus a detailed explanation. Win-win. And I like your Canadian twang.

[@robmcewan8361]

"McGiver it". Some people may not get the reference but I loved it. Nice steady camera work by the way. Most easy to follow. Excellent instructional video. Thanks

[@suzielozano470]

Thank you so much this has helped me so much I am alone and a widow and I want to try to do things on my own because everything is too expensive thank you for all your help for keeping it simple

[@Aicirt8]

I watched 4 different videos on removing the kitchen sink, to get different perspectives. No one else mentioned removing the false panel, that helped so much!!!! Thank you

[@AonCelticArt]

Such a help! Lots of the other videos skip the steps about clamps and what the parts are and how they function. It’s helps to under stand so I can translate it to what the previous owners did with the sink in my house. Thru installed the faucet before dropping the sink in so the faucet fasteners are now blocked by the countertop, so my easy facet switch now involves getting the sink out first. Thank you for the great detailed instruction!

[@davidhogue4075]

I just demoed my kitchen this afternoon. This video was super helpful. Thanks

[@brandothecat]

I never comment on KZbin videos, but this was really well done. Nice work, and it was useful to me.

[@HouseImprovements]

Thanks and I appreciate the feedback.

[@scottmcg666]

Great video. Thank you for showing all the parts and how to disassemble and remove them. I just replaced my boat galley sink in under an hour :D

[@barbarajackson4143]

First time viewer of your channel on U-tube. How to install kitchen sink. Excellent job! Very helpful having cabinets removed and no doubt what you were doing. I subscribed. Thanks again!

[@Shahzad5814]

Hi Shannon: I watched your video to remove kitchen sink, and am impressed with your technical knowhow as well as the way you explain the process. I have, therefore, subscribed and will watch your instructional videos. Please keep up the good work, and thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge with non-technical people like myself.

[@HouseImprovements]

Thanks Shahzad! Please spread the word about our site and channel if you like it! Thanks again

[@susand495]

Thanks. Your demonstration is perfect. Now i have more confidence. I had forgotten that the front panel on the sink cabinet comes off as if the old fully rusted sink mounting screws weren't bad enough. Cheap. The new sink has brass mounting screws. Can't wait to get that awful old sink out.

[@consorciasantiago4009]

It's hard to get a plumber these days. The good ones are very much sought after and hence hard to get. I would like my kitchen sink and faucet replaced. I was told it will not be easy. After watching your video I think I could try to do it myself. 😅 I took note of the tools you used. 🎉Thank you.

[@MitchellKGetz]

Clear, straight-forward and concise. Thanks for taking the time to make and post your helpful video. Liked the no-bucket move with the leaking stainless braided tubing. The only recommendation: edit out the non-visible loosening and tightening (faucet fixtures). Good camera work and audio! Thanks again from Okinawa, Japan.

[@lottiemccurse1316]

Two thumbs up...Thanks for getting straight to the point and leaving the add on info at the end. I'm pretty confident I will be able to remove my sink and have the plumber for installation.

[@DcrgroupNet]

Very impressive video man.. Anyone can remove kitchen sink after watching your video. :)

[@gainzmogul]

Great explanation! Took my sink out right after watching this video.

[@MichaMontreal]

Thanks very much! Thanks to this video I've confirmed that I'm on the right track and am sure I'll be able to finish the job when I go back onsite tomorrow. Appreciate you taking the time and explaining so clearly (ex about the clamps). Great stuff. Cheers!

[@rachelfolkerth4302]

Great Video! Excellent job explaining everything. Now I know exactly what Im getting into by attempting to do this myself.

[@audreynewman2046]

This video was super helpful when I was taking apart my kitchen sink. I did run into one problem though. You said most sinks only have no more than 5 clamps. Of course mine had TEN!

[@patrickclinton8228]

I have to remove my sink for new counter top. Going from 7" to 8" basin. I'm a rookie so your video help me. Thanks 😊!

[@nancybryson5488]

Thank you Shannon for this great vid! It could not have been more clear. You are a great teacher!

[@KS-gf3tv]

Can always count on Shannon to explain things well. Thanks for this one

[@CLTRealtyGroup]

Thank you! I was able to follow this pause and do steps right along with you. Let me know if you have a video on capping lines

[@kittkatt032]

Thanks for showing this! I just hope i have enough man power to do this since getting my lazy husband to do anything is out of the question.

[@arnelarsen4073]

Love the double P Traps, helps stop soap coming back up into opposite sink. As a plumber wish more plumbers did this.

[@melaniejensen9891]

This is AMAZINGLY helpful, I genuinely appreciate you! And you have such a wonderful voice for explanations, this was perfect. Thank you!

[@indianacontractors6154]

#lorenzo Hernandez Good vid. Thanks, Mate! @Jim H

[@hlopez2003]

Why is there 23 thumbs down? This was extremely helpful.

[@mitchellhood8320]

I'd guess because of his surprise about the silicon under the rim. It's pretty standard practice to seal your sink with silicon and most sink instructions state for you to do it. Whoever installed mine was a dick and used grout to seal it, gotta figure out how to get that seal broken.

[@scooterwilliams3105]

When you remove the sink, you can leave the faucet connected to the sink and disconnect the water lines from the shut-off valves.

[@Likealionmotivation]

Great video, I wanna re do my counter tops, this is gunna make it much easier lol.

[@laurielegrand3162]

Thank you :) very helpful, and very well explained.

Thank you for showing me how to remove my sink

[@HouseImprovements]

No problem

[@alonzo678]

Good video man thanks for the instruction

[@mybobbleheads]

In my instructions for my new Kohler sink it says to "apply a bead of silicone sealant around the underside of the sink rim" What do you suggest I use as you seemed surprised about the silicone on this one. Thanks again, all your videos are a great help!

[@Appleboy78165]

Wow this video has everything AND the kitchen sink!! ...Ok. I'll show myself out.

[@randypcole]

Omg its like they super glued mine

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

My idiot cousin dud just that! Took me a ridiculous amount of time, then a grown man another few hours! I've never had my back hurt so much. I'm leaving him out of my will as well speak for that one... He did that with a sprayer. It still leaks, which is why we wanted it OUT. Fused to the sink!

[@jmrah]

I love this guy

[@ssara8939]

Thank you so much ❤❤

[@teaglet]

I wanted to see how you removed the old cabinet and installed the new one over the existing water lines

[@JoseRamos-kd9ig]

Thanks ‼️👍

[@TheDex302]

In order to install new cabinets over the existing plumbing, how far back can I cut the plumbing back?

[@KarnB19]

great video, very helpfull

[@FreedomTalkMedia]

I have clamps much higher up and the screws are headless. The reason I was watching this video is because when I looked in my sink cabinet I could not see the screw driver slots on the ends of the screws and I was very confused as to how to get the screws out. I got in there with a flashlight and glasses and could see them. didn't actually need the glasses but the flashlight worked. If I could share pictures in comments here, I would for anyone else who has a sink like mine.

[@ds99]

Thanks Shannon! Great video. I just renovated my kitchen and had no trouble removing the sink but it would have been a great benefit to see this video first as I wasn't sure how the plumbing was connected. I bought a new sink and faucet. The new faucet is one of the one handle faucets. To attach it to the countertop it has just one very long nut that turns forever to get it clamped. It's hard to get a wrench into the small area to tighten it. As a result, if you pull on the faucet it will move a bit. Do you know if there is a better tool for tightening these?

[@HouseImprovements]

I know some of the better name brands include a long plastic type of socket/wrench that works really well. I keep two of them in my plumbing box as they fit most other manufactures as well. But unfortunately that does not help you any. There are "closet wrenches" out there but most i've seen will not fit those large nuts, but have a look for one. Some times you can get a pair of slip joint pliers on it as well.

[@ds99]

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll go out today to see if I can find something. I don't like it loose because water might get under it. Keep the videos coming!

[@donniegriffin6814]

Please explain why it was necessary to take faucet out from the top rather than undo the water lines at bottom and remove faucet along with the sink.

[@FM-ij7iu]

Are they supposed to be sealed with silicone? How do you remove sink without damaging the countertop?

[@tinahering5171]

awesome, thanks

[@randywissler9923]

I want to replace my sink, and of course it had the clamps in the back, you can see them, but cannot get to them. I'm assuming they installed the sink into the countertop before they installed the countertop.

[@HouseImprovements]

They may have.

[@sundimeng5054]

nice catch when the latch was falling

[@charmingsoul]

Thanks so much!!

[@HouseImprovements]

No problem

[@Coyotejody]

Could you lay tile on top of that counter ?

[@HouseImprovements]

You would likely have a bonding issue so I would not.

[@chrisarksey]

I jsut took out my powder room sink...it was a pedestal with the drain tucked tight behind...I couldn't get a wrench in to unscrew the drain...so I had to reciprocate the J trap right off where it comes out of the wall. PS what camera are you using? I like the quality of video and sound.
