How to Replace a Kitchen Faucet in 30 Minutes

[@SandiKaplan]

This video was sooo simple to follow. The plumber wanted $600 to do what this chap taught me to do in 30 minutes. Exactly the info I needed. Thank you; brilliant video.

[@PlaygroundMafia]

600 is insane? I'm a handy person and charge $25!

[@lindabeard7035]

@SandiKaplan. Same here. I paid over $200 for a new faucet and then was quoted a price of $400 "minimum" by the plumber. I'm going to install it myself. I feel confident that I can do it.

[@JesusIsGoodTruth]

Wow plumbers reeeeeally want to take advantage of a simple 15 minute job for them. Shameful.

Thank you so much for these videos. We are not very financially well off so we can't afford to hire professionals. We were able to replace our kitchen faucet with the guidance of this video. You don't know how much of a blessing this has been. Our next project is replacing a toilet. Looking forward to that. God bless you.

[@kassy4]

Besides the removal of the bolt nut, was probably 45 minutes! The other three hours was struggling with the corroded nut (older setup than this, so it was a big metal thing around the whole setup). For those who get in the same situation: wd40 and then leave overnight. In the morning I was able to finally loosen it the rest of the way! Hope that saves someone hours in a cramped hopeless effort to unscrew a corroded bolt!

Yes, and in addition I took my wireless dremel tool and used a small cutting wheel to cut a standard slot in the old bolts which rounded off due to excessive rust - once a 3mm slot was cut into the old bolts, a standard screw driver was able to remove the bolts -

​@@risingsunpsychothera I'm 26 and grew up with no family since I was placed in foster care so I have had to learn how to do stuff like this by watching amazing videos like these. If I can do it I know you can. It is nice to be independent and know how to do these things. Do be careful and practice and it will become less scary to do similar things overtime.

[@doctortabby]

OK, I'm about to give it a try. You made it look simple, we'll see how simple it is for me. 🙂 I go into this with cautions optimism. UPDATE: 2 hours later, I'm done. Thanks. Took me a little longer, as my old faucet assembly wasn't quite the same as the one you showed; there was some corrosion, as well as a couple of other problems, thus I had to improvise, nonetheless, the new one went on smoothly and your general instructions for a non-plummer for removal were great. Thanks again. God bless.

[@MichaelKPenis]

I've been putting off a kitchen faucet replacement for longer than I'd like to admit because I was too intimidated to start the project. But the old faucet started to literally fall apart this past week, so my hand was forced lol. I watched this video and felt confident that I could actually do something like this by myself. The removal of my old faucet was the hard part (took about 90 mins of struggling with old parts and a tiny workspace), but I flew through the installation of the new faucet using this video as a supplement to the written instructions. It took about 30-40 minutes to install -- a walk in the park! Thank you for this wonderful video!

[@Edbrad]

That’s a very expensive installation yes, but you’re saying the installation was $700 so doesn’t really matter that it’s $1400 since that’s including the price of the faucet which you’ve implied is $700. That’s an expensive faucet! Maybe they think they can overcharge you because you’re willing to spend $700 on a faucet?

[@ChristopherSmith-h1t]

FANTASTIC VIDEO!!! I was able to take out the old faucet and install the new one exactly as demonstrated! And in only 30 minutes! Saved me a ton of time and probably a lot of frustration.

Last time I installed a kitchen faucet was nearly 20 years ago. Your video was concise and simple. I bought a highly rated inexpensive WEWE faucet from Amazon which came with the water supply lines already designed into the unit. With your video it took me less than 20 minutes to install . . Took me 30 minutes to UNinstall the old faucet. Thank you! I’m a subscriber!

So not only did you educate me but you saved me money. THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO!!!!

This guid was the same exact faucet she ordered online, I was surprised and happy knowing that it meant each step would be identical which it was everything down to the same line going to the dishwasher, this video made it extremely easy to make the switch and first attempt worked 100% thank you, these past few years I’ve been taking on more and more small projects like this that I never knew I could and have been pleased each time, my wife is proud of me, I owe it to this video for making it insanely easy :)

Nice tutorial! Saved us some money not calling a plumber. Quick note for anyone replacing a Delta faucet - the main plate nut on our 2018 model was too big for the Moen plastic sleeve. So we had to buy a basin wrench at Harbor Freight. Was a bit tricky getting it off, but after some profanity we got it removed!

Just replaced my faucet with a new one I got off amazon. I also purchased a "telescoping basin wrench" as the set screw that was previously on the old faucet was very hard to reach and tightly bound to the faucet. Very challenging to remove, and required some WD 40 to loosen it up, but the instructions in this video still applied. Thank you for the detailed yet concise video!

Thank you SO much for this video! I needed to replace my kitchen faucet, but other instructional videos made it seem too complicated for my beginner-level DIY skills. After watching yours through, I built up enough confidence to give it a try. So glad I did! The hardest part was actually disconnecting the old weight, but even with struggling with a few of the old parts, I installed my new faucet all by myself in under an hour! :D You just saved me about $300 in plumbing fees, and built up my knowledge and confidence. To anyone considering trying this yourself, I think you should! Just make sure you're limber enough to get up under the sink. ;)

[@homedecor4654]

Love this faucet! I've been using it for a day now after installing it myself (no professional experience, casual DIYer. Took about 2 hours in total, from removing the old faucet to fully up and running with the Moen 7594EC). Installation was very easy and straight forward for even a novice, as long as your follow the [very easy to read] step-by-step instructions. Came with everything needed, including batteries for the power supply (AC power supply sold separately). I only have experience with a much cheaper bathroom touchless faucet and I must say the Moen 7594EC kitchen faucet is far, far superior! I guess you get what you pay for. It's a quality unit and the motion detector is far superior to my other one. Momentary activation comes on easily without having to "play around" with the sensor to find were it'll activate, and it stays on long enough momentarily to keep a constant stream when you need it, and shuts off promptly afterwards. In comparison, my bathroom (non Moen) faucet is just a headache to use sometimes. The motion detection is very off and on (no pun intended), not really staying on long enough to be useful. To get it to stay on longer (a feature), is very cumbersome. On the Moen 7594EC, there's also a second sensor on top of the unit that turns on a steady stream for when you need it. It does turn off automatically again though, after a very extended period of time (safety feature in case of inadvertent activation). Really looking forward to using this unit for some time to come. The added benefits of hands free are numerous, suffice to say at the very least, you won't get handles contaminated with bacteria after handling raw food, for example! I highly recommend the Moen 7594EC, from ease of installation to the practicality and performance of the product! amzn.to/3Kurz0s

New faucets are nicely engineered and east to install. Getting the old one out can be a problem though, if it's been in there for a while. Dealing with corrosion, lime buildup, and rusted or damaged threads complicates the removal, especially when working in a confined space with a garbage disposal unit in the way.
