This should be the GOLD standard of how to make a DYI video. Thank you so very much for an EXCELLENT tutorial.

[@maineprophetic9272]

Straight and to the point. Great disclaimer you slipped in there. "Don't drink or lick the water" Its a shame we still have to tell people this in 2024. Great vid. THIS is how a DIY should be done. No senseless banter. And, the instructor talks to his viewers clear and goes step by step explaining everything every part and optional parts if needed. Someone on here called this video the gold standard for DIY vids. I agree.

[@BoothDG58]

I love how you displayed every single step not assuming everyone knows how to do some things. I’m a new subscriber and your channel is awesome! Thanks for taking the time to do this

That’s not the same bathroom even tho I saw u just do the whole thing u must have forgot to take a before picture 😂

I wish every DIY video was made this way! Thank you for the clear explanations and straight-to-the-point tutorial. Plenty of people would’ve made this a 20 min video. Thanks again!!

[@jessicafal1958]

Oh gosh, I think you just gave me the confidence to think that I can do this on my own 😬

[@RockyMountainWest13]

You can totally do it. Even if it takes you two hours and you watch this video 200 times it doesn’t matter.

Thank you for this tutorial, I was able to change it myself!! I definitely struggled but after 5+ hours I was able to change it and i love my new faucet!! Don't be afraid to try on your own

[@liuzhen2008]

[@SakinahPalmer]

[@monica1811]

[@myacotv]

I was able to replace all the faucets in my house thanks to your video. Thank you.

[@PhillBogart]

2 things to be clear about on doing this type of install/upgrade. 1. Unless it specifically states it on the label that it works with rubber or plastic, do not use Plumber's Putty on anything other than metal drain flanges (Even though you mentioned it at the beginning, I noticed that you skipped this step in the video). 2. Before turning on the hot and cold water for the first time, remove the aerator so that any debris will not clog the aerator.

[@IamSlacker]

Good point about the aerator! Glad I saw this before getting started.

[@hommy1614]

I've replaced several faucets and had never thought of this! Good point. :) Sometimes washing machine hoses can become clogged, and the water will only drip into the machine, based on this same premise. :(

[@ProjectArms4719]

Good points Phill B

[@ReyMonoMan]

Had to completely take apart a faucet the ONE time I decided not to take off the aerator. Lol

[@life-pm5xl]

How about plumber's tape?

[@alamIbbar]

I had purchased this exact faucet and stumbled across this video. Thank you so much - this is perfect and exactly what I needed!

[@MicahCarioto]

Me too!! Maybe tag this video with the brand name Phiestina

[@MicahCarioto]

Nearly perfect instructions. As mentioned earlier, maybe a note about when to use the plumbers putty would be helpful. Thanks for making this!

[@beefmaster_james]

That's amazing that you are watching from so far away. Glad it helped you out.

[@1burself]

Thanks for an awesome presentation. Don’t know how you could have been any clearer and concise. 💯👍🏾

[@beefmaster_james]

Thanks for the comment.

[@pcappabianca83]

I'd recommend replacing the water lines. They are under pressure and you don't want an old water line to rupture later. Water lines use compression fittings, so plumbers tape isn't necessary. Attaching the drain pipe to the flange and sealing the flange to the sink wasn't shown. You'll need either silicone or plumbers putty, I prefer silicone for several reasons. Also ensuring a good seal at the under sink gasket is critical. The plumbers tape here is essential.

[@marziorojas]

It took more time to get the pieces than actually changing the faucet. Thanks for the superb explanation!

[@thetruckingway]

This was a very clear tutorial. Thank you.

[@yangchen7982]

Thank you for being so clear and concise. This is like the sixth video I watched and the other ones were pretty confusing.

[@deb664]

Thank you from a widow on a VERY fixed income!!! I understood EVERY step!!! YAY!!!

[@UrbanSwagger]

Thank you for showing how to remove the old faucet and drain stopper. Other videos I looked at were skipping this crucial step.

[@atom069]

You guys are brave for not using any silicon on the reinstall of the drain. As said by others, plumber's tape is not really needed for faucets made after like 2010.. but if you're not going to seal the drain with silicon, you'd better do something.

[@KARIS1961]

I went through so many of these videos. All just awful. Thank you for sharing clear and simple instructions. 👍💕👍

[@yvetteprice4098]

I just installed this exact model and am so grateful for this video. I had to cut my old supply lines off since they were soldered on. Thanks!

[@TheGhjbkl]

How did you cut them off? Did you have to buy new lines?

[@yvetteprice4098]

@@TheGhjbkl We have PVC pipes that bring the water to the sink, our old faucet had brass pipe supply lines connected to the valve I had to use a pipe cutter to cut the brass pipe and remove the old faucet. I also had to cut the pvc and replace the old valve with a shark bite valve then attach the new supply lines to that.

[@EnglishUnlockedWithTiffany]

This is a HUGE help! Thank you for a straightforward and easy to follow video.

[@jessicaehirsch9557]

Thanks for explaining the drain! I have this same faucet and I’m tired of waiting for someone to do it for me. I think I can handle it. I need to watch a couple more times though. 🤣

[@bunbohue369]

your old faucet is a lot nice than most people

[@warronfrench8163]

Fantastic video! Still doesn't cover everything I need (of course), but seeing the things I have done 20+ years ago in a video eases my stress level a little.

[@charcoalanderson8010]

Thank you so much! Seriously, I wish I could give you a million dollars! I don't know if it's because I just got off an 11+ hour shift or if I'm just dumb today but I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get the waste pipe to attach back to the bottom of the new drain stopper. I'm like, "It's basically adult LEGO for cryin' out loud! How hard can this be?!!" After many words that would make even sailors and Cthulu blush I watched your video and finally figured out how to place the rings and expanders. You were the only one to show that level of detail and without it I would not have been able to do it.

[@beefmaster_james]

Thanks Charcoal! Your comment was hilarious. Thanks for watching the vid and posting. Glad it helped you.

Great step by step video. It’s very informative and well delivered. I do have 1 question. Did you not have to use plumber putty with the drain plug because of the rubber washer/gasket that was already present??

[@KS_26]

Thank you! I got my sink hooked perfectly!

[@ashleymydear]

But also, please take off the aerator and run the faucet *without it* for a minute or two to clear it out without plugging up the new aerator!!

[@ewivapo]

Thank you and questions: what about the traditional way of using silicone or plumber potting on the Drain plug, there is no need ?

[@sonias.6011]

Best DIY videon ever! Like I really wish that someone had a service where you come teach me in person how to do this. So if I have questions during installment I can ask. It would be a good master class.

Thanks for watching Sonia. I appreciate the comment.

[@RicardoZea]

This video is absolutely fantastic, well done, and very well explained. It helped me a lot! HUGE Thanks! One quick piece of advice to others doing this for the first time: You can put the sealing/Teflon tape on the threads on the hose connections of the faucet BEFORE securing it to the sink :)

[@beefmaster_james]

Thanks Ricardo. Appreciate the comment.

[@ronniechambers4755]

Just what i was looking for! Thanks for the great explanation

[@aelievense]

Great video. You explained steps very well. However be prepared to replace this faucet in 2-3 years. This exact faucet was installed in newly purchased “flipped” home and all the black finish crumbled off. So unless you don’t mind a gray plastic faucet in 2-3 years, invest in something with better quality.

thanks for the step by step instructions and clear visuals -- about to embark on replacing faucet in my apartment and am already having anxiety on what i'll find in the j-trap and the tail pipe. existing faucet drips constantly and causes rust around the drain metal rink in base of sink. probably going to have to use plumbers putty around drain i'm guessing.
