POTFILLER INSTALLED DIY!

[@jamie777]

We actually found the same pot filler and used these instructions to install it. We’re so happy with it! It seems like great quality and the install went way smoother than we ever anticipated.

[@patricksimone1238]

That’s awesome I’m glad for the review of the pot filler and glad this video could help you out!

[@jamainowens3541]

I followed these instructions to a T. I purchased the same pot filler and couldn't be happier. thanks for this video.

[@patricklewis9020]

Thanks for sharing these tips. I am saving a ton of money on pot fillers on Amazon! I have spent hundreds on these.

[@jmcinnis621]

Thanks Pat! I've looked at quite a few pot filler videos and yours is the best so far. Your sequence is good, the 3/4-in plywood on top of the block really helps. And mounting the flange which your screws going on an angle works really well also. Great video!

[@noshirpanthakee]

amazing video man! You hit all the key points on the head, like showing the amazon product, advising what the rough-in height from floor is, & showing the install very clearly. Very much appreciated!

Man, absolutely great video. Thanks for taking the time to produce it. Mock patterns were an excellent help. 👌👍👏

[@roccospags]

Make sure you put the teflon tape on clockwise. Clockwise will thread in as you tighten nipple, because you screw the nipple in clockwise. If teflon tape is put on backwards, counter-clockwise, IT WILL UNTHREAD, from the nipple as you tighten nipple clockwise.

Put the teflon tape on the right way or it will come off when you screw the nipple in. Thanks for the video though. I love the trick with using another piece of wood for the finishing plate. Keep up the great work👍

[@patricksimone1238]

Thank you!

[@abdallahalhasnainytimuroglu]

Great Vedio but I agree with SuzukiKid400 with addition that the wall plate should have been screwed in before you install the pot filler that would have been easier. But it's a great vedio I'm just installing 2 pot fillers in my 2 kitchens and the its gonna help a lot. Thanks again.

[@clinte1981]

2 tips. Screw the flange into place before screwing the fixture into the drop ear fitting and put your Teflon tape on clockwise when looking at the end of the pipe you are installing it on. You run the risk of running a screw into your copper pipe screwing them in at an angle like that, and the Teflon tape will not loosen when you screw the fixture in. Otherwise, it's a very informative video. I had to learn those two things the hard way.

[@kristycannon7923]

How great was this video!!! 🎉 My question is, i'd like to use ledgerstone as my backsplash under my upper cabinets....how do you level out the 3d stone to make the flange/cover fit?

[@Gn0ume]

Thank you sooo much for this detailed demonstration!

[@stevewhelan3770]

Any update on the longevity of the faucet? Is it quality?

[@annamaria112362]

Thank you for all the info and instructions. I'm just having the worst time trying to find out what height the pot filler faucet should be above the range burners. I'm reading the average and preferred height would be 12" - 18". But my guy has the pipe roughed in so the faucet will be 24" above the burner and it seems ridiculously high, like almost touching the bottom of the range hood. :(

[@porker5749]

@@patricksimone1238 Good to hear. After watching your video I looked for reviews on pot fillers and the Imlezon comes highly rated. I've got a tricky installation to do, because tile is already installed and the walls are lath and plaster. Adding to that behind the stove at the center point is a wall for a small wash room. Inside the washroom at the point i would need to open up the wall to install the hidden plumbing is a medicine cabinet which may work out in my favour...no repairs necessary.

The back splash is 3cm quartzite installed directly to the studs(no sheetrock) because the thickness of the material. Water line installed as in your video except it’s running down from attic , same drop ear mount. Hole already drilled out in quartzite for brass fitting. Problem: the flanges are too small in circumference relative to the existing hole. The screws are too close that hole and have nothing to bite into. I’m thinking long screws to reach the 2x4 where the drop ear is installed for securing the flange. ??? Any direction will help here… any one?

[@techcommtools]

Looking at your plywood mock up gave me an idea: Would mounting ply on top of the studs, rather than (or in addition to) mounting the 3/4 flush behind the drywall be a good idea? It would be an extra cut for drywaller, but I'm thinking it would be stronger overall.

[@patricksimone1238]

Very good idea !

[@Lando1020]

This was a big help. But I dont see the need for screwing the flange piece since drop ear is carrying weight. Can somebody chime in please? Thanks!

[@jjs71072]

Thanks for the video, very helpful!

[@SuzukiKid400]

Great video but you made 2 mistakes. The first is you applied the Teflon tape the wrong way onto your threads. The second which is a big one to me, is that you applied force on the joints in order to tighten the pot filler to the nipple. Those joints are not designed to have force applied to them like that. What you should be doing is using a rubber strap clamp to tighten the base of the pot filler and apply torque that way. Other than that, your detail for the drop ear elbow offset and the capping plywood were great details. Keep up the good work.

[@patricksimone1238]

SuzukiKid400 thanks buddy much appreciated,and thanks for those tips !

[@philkingmke]

Yeah I was gonna mention the Teflon tape as well...but figured the megalock (or whatever that was called) would help seal it.

[@thistoob]

My potfiller joint leaked behind a wall for 8 years & finally destroyed my hardwood floors & wall. I still don't know what caused the joint to leak & carrode as we're debating if we install another one or not. But your tip on not using force applied to the joints could be a big hints as to the cause of my leak. In 99.999% of the time leakage is due to improper technique. Thank you Suzuki kid!

[@mikekelly571]

How is the quality of that pot filler?

[@jlatessa]

No need for a rubber strap clamp. You can see at 16:46 there is a flat non-polished place for a wrench close to the wall.

[@MrLeo7627]

Thanks for video & all the work you put into it . I measured for the rough hight & got the same 52' to 53', Im just hoping the future trend in home cooking is not those huge commercial three foot pots . LOL Im still wondering if this is worth it practically speaking, I mean you still got to remove the pot off the stove, & Im not a chief working ten & twelve hour days with pots & pans. I have no doubt it will add value to your kitchen & home though. Just to put it out there , Cold water is what you want. Happy Trails

Blue Sky 777 hey,glad you enjoyed it and hope it helps you,honestly people do it for the look more than The functionality,but once you have one it’s actually pretty convenient,

[@charlesjohnson7222]

You said you recessed your blocking at 1.5”. When you attached the 3/4” material used for anchoring the set flange did you fir out between 2X6 and the 3/4”, or did you just leave a 1” gap between the 2X6 and 3/4 piece?

[@patricksimone1238]

The 3/4 blocking is flush with the framing Hope this helps

[@hood3212]

Great job with the install except cranking on the pot filler to tighten it to the wall. Some cheap pot fillers might have broken or damaged the parts inside the joints.

[@patricksimone1238]

Thanks pal ,good luck with that install!

[@twbrkfd1733]

If the MegaLock never comes loose, how will you get the faucet off your demo setup? How will you get the faucet off for repair or replacement? Don't need and don't use that threadlock! Also the setscrews in the pot filler collar and the flats on the shaft are what keep the pot filler in position ("so it won't spin anymore"); not how tight it is screwed to the pipe! The allen screws screwed into the round of the shaft will NOT hold it in position. However, you did not put the pot filler in all the way into the wall so the allen screws are unable to engage the flats on the base of the pot filler. The flats are easily visible on the base of the pot filler! It should be about another 1.5 inches into the wall! The collar should be attached to the wall BEFORE the pot filler is attached. Loosely fit it and mark the screw holes first and drive the screws in. THEN screw in the filler itself. Why not just use a horizontal 2x6 flush with the studs? The drop-ear cannot support the weight of the pot filler. Just run the pipe through the 2x6 add an elbow and strap it to the back of the 2x6 so it won't rotate when tightening. The collar then screws into the 2x6 through the finish wall. The load is then carried by the collar to the 2x6; not the drop-ear where the weight is constantly stressing the pipe joint.

[@williamterry3177]

Looking forward to seeing your KZbin video on proper installation of the pot filler faucet. Loved your tips /instructions.

[@thehumanguineapig8500]

Thanks for the video. This might be a stupid question but can I screw the plate on first then thread the pot filler on the way you did it ? Water line had been installed for quite some time and backsplash is already up. So I would have to thread it the way you did I wont be able to thread the nipple on first cause there is nothing to grab on to . I think it would be easier for me to screw the plate on first as long as the plate is centered correctly and then thread the pot filler like you did. Thanks
