I did it!!! It took me about an hour, although it felt much longer. Tears of frustration and a bit of cussing. My hardest parts were getting rhe faucet loose from the sink and getting the old supply lines off the faucet. Vice grips, small slip joint pliers, and some wd40. Go me!!! I'm almost 65, living in an old house trailer. Cold water in the kitchen is the first of many projects. Thank you so much!!

[@ShowandTellVideo]

Great job!

[@ericwootton2]

Yep, it wouldn’t be a real DIY project unless I have to go to Home Depot at least three times.

I’m 16 and my dad wasn’t home so I needed to get it done and didn’t know how, watched this vid at school and came home and did it. Thank you.

This video gave me the guts to feel confident about replacing my broken faucet. I even used the vice grip pliers. It was so rusted I had to remove the entire sink to get the grip and room to actually remove it. But your video is so unbelievably helpful especially reminding to measure the connector lines. Thank you so so very much!

And 5 years later this vid still kicks ass thxs dude. Just had my sink broken this morning and 45 mins later fixed it.

Straight to the point, simple enough for a novice like me to understand, good video quality, and funny to boot! Thanks so much!!

[@IMRANnet]

Loved the humor and real world implications. Thanks for making this short yet detailed focused on the subject.

[@forestlakesviplist4706]

Great Tutorial! This would have been so much easier if the people that installed our original faucet didn't tighten the bolt so tight to the faucet bracket. It took us 3 hours to get that thing unscrewed and we had to go buy a better tool to get it off, but finally came off and of course we ended up having to go buy new hose/lines, because ours were also too short, wish I saw this video before I bought the faucet...LOL..all good now and got my new faucet installed and very pleased. Thanks for an easy video!

[@ShowandTellVideo]

Thanks! Yeah, I had the same issue. Glad you got past the hard part! :)

[@andrewlopez2435]

This video helped me so much. Getting the supply lines off the old faucet was a pain because of some rust build up. WD-40, a rag, and a hammer to loosen up some of the rust helped a lot! Anyway, this video was great and charming. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this step by step video. I was able to change my kitchen faucet all by myself (with your help lol)! Awesome!

[@virginia7125]

My friend's mobile home had a 3 hole kitchen faucet. I borrowed a plumbers flip sliding wrench. Didn't have much luck. I had to go home and get my 1⅛" Mac crowsfoot. It'll fit most faucet nuts & toilet supply lines. Perfect fit for the older hex nuts. It'll catch the newer 4 wing plastic nuts. It won't fit the ones under the faucet base. (The top nuts) I had to use pump plyers. My new faucet said to use a silicone or latex based sealant when installing on the new threads. Pipe dope or plumbers putty will ruin the plastic. That's a first. Teflon tape will only work if you can get a super thin layer. It can split the nuts if you put too much. Silicone it is. You need to let it sit a few hours before turning the water on. Check for drips. I was good.

[@ManCaveMeals]

Thanks for the video tutorial... I was able to use it to help me replace mine. I got lucky and had the exact same replacement faucet you have. I SUCK at being a handyman of any kind so I depend on KZbin for help.... thanks a bunch!

[@white9night]

I just replaced our kitchen faucet. I planned on one hour or so. . . well, three hours latter and a trip to the hardware store to buy new lines and I was done. The hardest thing was trying to loosen the old plastic water rings with a plumbers off set wrench. Boy was that hard! Most things take longer than originally planned. I sure am glad that is done. This was a great video. I wished I would have watched it first. I did the replacement in the order that is shown here. The newer facets have a 6" copper drop down to make the replacement much easier. I would strongly suggest a plumbers offset wench before you start your project. Good luck. You pretty much need to be a human contortionist to perform this on a older appliance.

[@teefrankenstein4340]

[@ShowandTellVideo]

Excellent!! :)

[@zaro33]

Sorry for being a stickler, but around the 2:43 minute mark, you can see that they put the Pipe Thread sealer tape (white material on the thread) in the wrong direction. You can tell, because as he is tightening, you can see the white tape coming off. Sure, it will not matter that much as these don't carry much pressure, but with higher pressure you will get a leak.

[@nameunknown007]

I laughed so hard when you said helpful tools has some type of cup with a lid 😂😂 that cup is plumbers putty I think or that's what I read it as

[@samiches2008]

Correct! That "cup with a lid" is the plumbers putty that he never used... Yes, he may get water from his faucet, but it wasn't installed properly. Eventually, he will get moisture buildup under the faucet just like his old one had. You can tell by the corrosion. He must have installed the old one, too. Also, he used teflon tape on the threads of a compression fitting. Yep...the internet is full of self-proclaimed experts teaching people the wrong way to do things.

[@RDfloydify]

I was looking for this comment! When I first saw my box I was like wth is that!? It would be nice if they labeled it. I just so happened to watch an episode of this old house and they used some and was like o ok let me go get some 🤦🏾‍♀️. I would have never known bc they don't label it in the box or instructions.

[@tmy4874]

Okay, am scanning comments to see if this was asked, but gave up. Do you need to put silicone sealant around or under the faucet on top? I bought that exact same faucet from someone who was redoing theirs so I have a nearly new Moen faucet, but no instructions, thank goodness, except for your video. So silicone? Yes/No? And just around the edge, or underneath the plastic piece too?

[@AJ-uj2np]

Can you do more diy stuff around the house? I really learned from this video.😀
