How to replace a laundry room tub faucet.. In my basement

My wash tub faucet started leaking. Every time we tried using it. I assumed one of the rubber o-ring seals had went bad. First we tried to repair it. But we were unsuccessful so we ended up replacing the wash tub faucet. The faucet is a B & K part number 125 - 001

[@soil-aint-dirt4903]

Well done! Thanks for showing us how you worked through all the issues you faced with this faucet instead of editing it all out.

[@olderrol1968]

I am surprised that detail. Thank you. Glad I was able to help 👍

[@edris4538]

Your a great father teaching your son how to get things done. Great job man - I am just changing mine and your video was quite helpful. Respect

[@olderrol1968]

Thank you For your acknowledgement on fatherhood. One tip that I've been getting roasted about in this video is install and a thread tape incorrectly.

[@saeedrahimi9722]

Exactly what I needed for my 38 year old tub faucet replacement. I loved the details video and the emphasis on the good old fashioned community plumbing stores instead big conglomerate stores . Thanks for taking the time to do it. I also loved your son's involvement in the project. That is how I learned from my dad and how I thought my son. Thanks

[@olderrol1968]

Glad I was able to help. Warms my heart.

[@edsaavy]

Thank You Errol! This video has become timeless! Just like the others who took the time to leave a comment, this video was exactly what was needed. I bought a new faucet for the laundry tub months ago and it just sat there until I watched your video yesterday (7/17/2023). Today, the leaky old faucet has been retired and the new brass is fulfilling its purpose. Great video and BIG Thanks.

[@olderrol1968]

Glad I was able to help. 👍

[@pjjones9416]

Your video was just what I was looking for! Step by step instructions were clear and laundry sink even looks just like mine, water hose and all! Already told hubby he'll have a new task. Great work with your son, too. "Train up a child..."

[@olderrol1968]

Lol This video has caused a lot of wives to put their husband to work. I appreciate the kind words thank you

[@cj22cj]

Greetings Old Errol! I have never done any plumbing in my life but I watched your excellent video and was able to replace our laundry room faucet with no problems on the very first attempt. Thank you so much for showing me how to do it! BLESS UP TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏

[@olderrol1968]

Thank you for your kind words. (Mind creates ) And the only thing standing in your way is you.

[@iggyconnell5700]

thank you, good watch, lovely well mannered young son you have, you are teaching him so much,used to love learning stuff with my dad, keep up the good work

[@olderrol1968]

My son can never say that Daddy has never taught him anything.lol

[@robertcong-leton3275]

EXACTLY the instructional narrated video that was needed, and you made the same mistakes I would have had you not warned me by doing them. Thank you for this: you saved me a lot of money, time, and trouble. Including your son was also important, as it reminded me to include mine - perhaps the most important lesson for me

[@olderrol1968]

Really glad I was able to help 👍

[@RawConceptsFilms]

I love this video. I have the same exact laundry sink faucet and didn't know how to remove the old one and replace it with a new one. This video gave me all the insight I needed. Love the fact that he was training his son at an early age. That's what's up. Thanks, Errol.

[@TheKneesintheBreezeBrewer]

2 things that really stand out and I really liked is that you spent your money local. The big box stores make enough money but the Mom and Pop stores are like you said more likely to help you not just take your $ and #2 you got your Son involved in the project. Very cool !

[@olderrol1968]

Definitely appreciate the acknowlegement. I not only want to speak about the change but I want to be a part of the change.

Where the seals gone in your faucet. Or was it lekin from the exterior where did the threading is located?

Should've used a box end wrench, dude. remove the aerator and slip it over the spout. Then change the rubber o rings or gaskets

Ahhh exact model I have. I was hoping not to need to replace the fixture. Thought I’d have to unscrew from below. Didn’t even think of one being behind!! THANKS! Hopefully changing the stems and handles sets me straight. Otherwise I’ll be shopping as well

[@olderrol1968]

A trick I learned for a long term maintenance. Spray some WD40 right by the neck of the pipe to keep the chlorine from calcify and and causing a pipe to leak in the future.

I subscribed. I am in the process of replacing my faucet and this video made me more comfortable doing it. Thank you. I replaced normal ones like bathroom and kitchen ones but I never seen this thing ever before. I looked at it and I was confused about why the water pipes are on top. I am going to replace my shutoff valves as well because they fell apart and it was a mess. Water is off for the house and I am going to start in the morning. I have soldier pipes and a shutoff valve when I replaced my spikey or wallcock on the back of the house and I busted out laughing when the hardware store guy said that I am replacing a wallcock. I guess that's the proper term for it. These shutoff valves are going to be easier to replace and the faucet looks easier to replace than a normal one. I will remember to put my nuts on 1st, I have a funny feeling that I will be thinking about you when I put my nuts on. 😂

[@olderrol1968]

You've got it.(tip ) Make sure when you install The thread tape. You'll install it properly saw the pipe does not leak.

I have a utility sink that that, and I want to get a brass faucet to replace the cheap one that was on there. I'm curious what you have the faucet sitting on? I don't have that and I don't think I can get it to fit on my sink without it. Thanks.

[@olderrol1968]

I would suggest you go to one of those Old fashioned hardware stores. (People that know what they're doing). And show them a picture of your sink and let them know what kind of Faucet you want install.

[@mattpeulen4528]

@@olderrol1968 Is your faucet mounted on something, or is that just part of the sink that the faucet rests on?

[@olderrol1968]

It's mounted on a small plastic box. Around 5 1/2 by 1 1/2 wide. You can email at [e-mail]. for a picture.

You would just leave the old ones on….. The new Fossett comes with those just in case it’s a total new install…

I had the Faucet replaced by one like that, exactly, then the screws on the handle started falling out, that I needed a screwdriver to tighten both screws, and 4 months later the faucet is dripping water, so now what??, a new faucet?
