This was a perfect video. I had already taken off the faucet but couldn't figure out how to do the drain. I'm a female in my mid-70s and it was so easy. To do everything from beginning to end it took me 45 minutes. I have two more to do and they'll each take less than 30 minutes and I will have saved myself $300!! Thanks fo much for this video.

[@liznewman4209]

Thank you so much, you made it look so easy. The minute I finished your video instruction I went and took mine out and replaced it. I'm a 64 year old woman if I can do it anyone can. Just take your time don't be in a hurry. Thank you again.

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Glad it helped! Great job.

Bought a Jaclo brass and stainless pop-up drain similar to yours. Not much change back from a hunnert dollars. But instructions? No. Not a damn thing. Your video got me there.

[@jamessurname2285]

Only thing I do differently is to add pipe dope on threads where rubber gasket, washer and nut go. Not convinced the rubber seal will always squeeze to the root of the threads

[@kenkirk1986]

this covers it all in a thorough, easy to understand format. i am very grateful for your instructions and the time spent to produce it and help others.

[@buildergirl2515]

On mine, the little lever inside the drain that pushes the stopper up and down broke off and fell to the p trap....oh, and I like your cat!

[@freddydickson3071]

I’m gonna try it pray for my success 🙏😔

[@albertazone]

Where the bottom gasket (just above the brass nut) goes into the bottom of sink from underneath, any need for silicon and sealant there?

[@fernandarsm]

Thank you for the video! I was trying to donit myself but the old drain halo on the top won't unscrew...there is cement. I tried to remove it and use the pliers but won't even move. Any recommendation?

[@xX-Expendable-Xx]

Some drain fixtures come with a rubber seal for the drain cap(the piece that the drain neck screws up into), would we put the putty between the seal and cap or under the seal to still be pulled against the drain?

[@billzamaria6428]

Thanks, couldn't believe how easy it was. Thanks for the clear instructions.

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Glad it helped!

[@Chainyanker007]

Can’t just use any kind of plumbers dope or putty on PVC or ABS it will deteriorate the plastic after awhile. There are specialized sealers to be used on plastic pipe threads that are also good for metal threads, available at big box stores like Home Depot. You may have to cut the vertical portion if too long, should go at least 1” into the P-trap. This video uses an extension on the vertical, something that is usually sold separately. I’m not a plumber just a DIY guy.

[@gbsk12]

I have a popup stopper. When I try to take the tailpiece off, the whole flange inside the sink turns. How do I take the pipes off?

[@homerunhita12]

Great video thank you! Noticed the nubble light hat too, fellow Mainer?

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Thanks for noticing. I don't live the Maine but I love to visit.

[@Jay91Byrd]

What did you use to 14:19 is that the same thread lock you put on the metal sink drain the same that you used on the PVC? Wasnt sure if there was a specific one to use when connecting metal to PVC

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Here is the link for the product. It is good for metal and plastic amzn.to/48eWhEU

[@PAULJETS75]

How come my stopper jiggles and tilts in the open position? I have no leaks and it works but its annoying.

[@MarioChavez-xc1tz]

How much would u charge to change the r Toilet and the pedestal sink and also shower doors and the shower faucets and fresh paint ? Just asking because I wouldn’t know how to charge ???

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Sorry I just work on friends and family homes and I do all the work for free.

[@sherryroberts7716]

I was SOOO upset that I had to replace my drain! So ordered from Home Depot and decided to take a crack at it, turning on your video. Did I happen to mention I'm a chick? Anyway, I digress. I just wanted to tell you that my frustration with my sink vanished when I began laughing at your cat inspecting your work, his/her tail in the camera's eye! Kitty says "You did a meow-velous job!" TOO FUNNY! Thanks!

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Thank you for your input and for watching. You should see when i'm working and the cat and my dogs all come to see what I'm doing. I hope your replacement of the drain went ok.

[@sherryroberts7716]

@@getitdonehomerepair You are sweet! Thank you for having animals. They need us!

[@edwardrahm5435]

I'm not seeing any info, including on the product, about how long to let the thread sealer to cure. Thoughts?

[@getitdonehomerepair]

You can use it right away. There is no cure time.

[@phileomcalexander9193]

Is there a beveled gasket on the pivot arm ball? AIs gasket at the nut or at pipe?

[@getitdonehomerepair]

I don't think that the pivot arm has a gasket.

[@phileomcalexander9193]

I think I figured it out. Didn’t have the “piece up on the top” screwed on far enough. VERY IMPORTANT!!!!. OMG. I have taken this apart and put it back together so many times……..

[@dvancamp6710]

What if I don't have a cat to help? ;-)

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Hahaha You will just have to do the best you can.

[@phileomcalexander3380]

My sink drain still leaks. What am I doing wrong???? I bought a new assembly so new washer. It leaks under at the rubber washer. Am I screwing the nut on too hard?

[@phileomcalexander9193]

Be sure “piece on top” is screwed on tight! Very important!!!!

[@senpailonestarr2787]

What are the sizes from the wall to the tail pipe?

[@getitdonehomerepair]

[@domstheroot]

Instead of using thread locker along all the threads, is it safe to go with Teflon tape instead?

[@sidsid9808]

Yes, I too prefer Teflon tape.

[@marset.designsplus3813]

Wish you would have clarification placements on the washers.. you know the rubber seals. There are so many types of styles. Wish you had a few examples. Remember, this is viewed in many Countries and States. Just saying.. 👋🏽😊🇹🇹
