Great video, thank you for showing mistakes too so everyone can learn from them!

[@Daddicated]

Thanks for the feedback. Glad you liked it.

[@concerncitizen6020]

You did a great job making that faucet fit. I had that problem one time, and i ended up cutting the wall and pushing the top into the wall and then the counter top had like 3/4 over hang in the front.

[@Daddicated]

Thanks. Yeah it was a good learning experience.

Can’t wait to try this, thanks for posting. 👊

[@Daddicated]

Thanks.

[@akhalil4401]

Nice. I find that many faucet fixtures that I have bought from amazon have to be torqued down alot and thick teflon tape has to be used or else they are prone to leaking. When buying places like home depot I havent had that problem.

[@Daddicated]

Yeah the manufacture ring quality is probably not the same with some of these cheaper faucets.

[@kevinhornbuckle]

Your extension of the faucet spout looks good.

[@Daddicated]

Thanks. I appreciate that.

Great video! Thank you. 👍

Thanks.

Wow great job

Thank you.

Lolll the last part made me laugh! I love the spirit! Good job though! Great vid 👍

[@Daddicated]

Lol. Thanks for the feedback. Love hearing from the viewers especially if they enjoyed it.

[@JustCallJonathan]

Good learning experience!!!

[@Daddicated]

Yes it was! Every time I do something new like this it's always a learning experience. Especially when people comment and tell me what I did wrong or what I could of improved on.

[@randolphrod9679]

Those hoses behind wall???

[@Daddicated]

Yes.

[@kennnova]

You can't service those hoses once the drywall is complete. This doesn't seem to be up to code. Connection hoses aren't intended to be put into a wall.

[@Daddicated]

So it has to be hard piped instead?

[@kennnova]

I would think so. There are rubber gaskets in those connection hoses that have a usable life of like 5 years. But a copper NPT adapter to the copper water line would be one way. If that rubber gasket failed behind that drywall you may not notice for some time. Mold and other damage would be very expensive to deal with.

[@merlin0152]

@@Daddicated It appears like a considerable amount of work and effort was done on this project. For that, I salute you. But, after all this and the prospect of the connection hoses posing a real long-term threat being behind the drywall, externally mounted faucets are probably looking pretty good right about now.

[@Daddicated]

@@kennnova Very valid point. However, I did use teflon tape and pipe goop for extra measure, you don't think that will help?

[@Daddicated]

@@merlin0152 This is all good info. Thanks for sharing. Definitely will do it another way next time around.

[@Dwigt_Rortugal]

You're getting tons of "free advice" on here. 😂 Some tips I might add for the drywall work: I personally prefer fiberglass mesh tape for smaller stuff like this, I just find it easier to work with. Put on the mud sparingly and thinly. Then use a wide drywall knife to smooth it. It'll look crappy on the first layer or two. Let that thin layer dry, maybe sand it only a little and very lightly. Then apply another thin layer, let it dry, repeat. Sand lightly after the last couple of layers and maybe use a straight edge like a level or a yardstick to check how even the surface is. it'll be money. Then add texture if you want. It'll be completely unnoticeable once painted.

[@Daddicated]

Thanks for the tips.

[@glensaab]

This seems to be a common problem. I just ran into the same issue with my bathroom sink. There has to be some sort of extender you can buy. I would be interested to know if anyone knows, it has to be 1/2 npt. The only other solution is to buy a longer spout, the closest one I found is for a tub filler which is around 11" and would be too long for me.

[@Daddicated]

Yeah, it was a pain in the butt. I don't think I'll do another in wall sink to be honest.

[@nagesh7314]

These spouts are meant for counter top basins, not below the counter ones. The water flow should reach near or on the drain of basin for best result.

[@Daddicated]

Yeah, we didn’t want to get a basin. But it’s all good.

[@nagesh7314]

@@Daddicated Try to fix a flexible spout with shower head. That will solve your problem and add as additional function as well.

[@moral19]

Never install hoses in a wall.... How are you going to change the rubber gaskets when they go? Should have hard pipped it with PEX or copper.

[@Daddicated]

I think I’ll have to cut my closet drywall open to access the hoses and redo it. Stay tuned that will be a video in the future. 😜

[@moral19]

Yeah if you put an access behind, you will be fine. Just always remember to have something in place for failure. Even with a access door we tried to avoid it because it's not appealing to a customer. Mind you where something needs access it is what it is. 👍

[@vivianfoster702]

After watching this video, I understand why plumbers make so much money. Water damage is an expensive problem to fix.

[@Daddicated]

Lol. should I become a plumber?

[@thomasbouteille2842]

Thank you for showing your mistake. it helps me try not to do it. i enjoy that kind of contents it really helps, thank you sir !

[@Daddicated]

Yeah I probably wouldn’t do this again honestly. Not really worth it.

[@ElderberryThee3rd]

You should consider taking this video down. Theres nothing wrong with showing your mistakes online but the majority of this was not done properly and could lead to serious issues if someone uses this as a guide.

[@Daddicated]

Thanks for the concern.

[@shawnmartinez2263]

I very much so enjoyed this video. Ppl can learn from this . Wyatt you suck ..

[@Century938]

I appreciate the mistakes you showed i’m just a regular homeowner attempting to install a wall mount faucet outdoors Thank you

[@madmark30001]

Don't take this down. This was very helpful.

[@Dwigt_Rortugal]

I wouldn't take it down, but maybe insert some short clips to explain more mistakes. You did a great job, and actually, seeing your mistakes may well be more valuable than watching a pro do it perfectly. Just make sure you point all all of them, now that you know more. You clearly worked hard on this video and I appreciate it.

[@KatrinaGonzalez-z8g]

Oh my, you need to rough in the plumbing for wall mounted faucets. This isn't the way to install these kinds of faucets. The connector hoses get old and fail over time and now you have no access to switch out the hoses unless you cut into the drywall.

[@Daddicated]

Yeah, I realized that a bit too late after posting this video and many pointing this out. The nice thing is the back wall is my master closet so I probably will have to get in there and repair it in the future before something bad happens.

[@aaronosborn7395]

This is a hack job… not to code

[@Daddicated]

Which part?

[@aaronosborn7395]

@@Daddicated installing braided lines inside the wall. Those lines will fail and leak inside the wall in about 3 to 6 years. If your water pressure is low they can possibly last longer . The proper way would be to hard pipe it with copper or pex. However it does look good and if you plan on remodeling again in a few years, I wouldn’t worry about it.

[@Daddicated]

@@aaronosborn7395 I might have to look into fixing that in the future before it causes a bigger problem. Thanks for the suggestion. Live and learn. 😅

[@Dwigt_Rortugal]

The braided hoses issue has been beaten to death on here. We get it.

[@sladeoriginal]

@@aaronosborn7395 quote the part of the code.

[@mikehardie3630]

Nooooooooo! Please don't use this for a "how to" video, use it as a "how not to" video.

[@Daddicated]

Lol, that works too.

[@JustCallJonathan]

That sink.....lol

[@Daddicated]

What's wrong with it?

[@JustCallJonathan]

YOU SHOULD HAVE USED ALL BRASS NIPPLES. YOU CANT MIX THEM LIKE U DID😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Daddicated]

Why not? Honest question trying to learn here.

[@matthewchambers7553]

You're using too much tape my guy.

[@Daddicated]

Which tape u referring too?

[@MatthewML201]

Facepalm! This is NOT how this is done.

[@Daddicated]

True but there is always another way.

You in Michigan man?

[@Daddicated]

No, in Florida. Michigan is too cold. 🙂
