[@allenlovell1604]

Not being the greatest fix-it man as I wasn't taught by my dad ; watching your video was most informative. Now I know what I need to fix the annoying leak is a set of rings and that silicone lubricant, I am going to search which hardware stores have these items , as we have Ace, Home Depot, and a Loews in my area. I'm still going to have to have some help from my Church brothers, though , as I have very bad arthritis in my joints. But I can at least get the materials we'll need for this easy project ! Thanks for your channel and clear, no-nonsense detailed step- by- step instructions, Sir. And thanks KZbin for posting this 😊.

[@RoscoReviews]

Glad I could help! All of those hardware stores should have what you need. The Lowe’s and Home Depot where I live probably have a better selection than the Ace keeps in stock. There are a range of sizes, so you will need to know the brand and model if you are going to try to purchase the specific size you need (this usually cost 1-2 dollars) or you can buy a variety pack that has a bunch of sizes (this usually runs more like $10)

I'm so grateful for this video. We've been living with a minor leak for months because our faucet has a gold colored finish and they're very hard to find these days. I usually hate working on plumbing, but this went fine (other than the shutoff valves being frozen - glad my brother recommend Kroil). I I can't believe there was nothing in the manual for this faucet about these o-rings :(

[@bikeny]

Beautiful stuff. I am now a subscriber. Two things I liked about the video: 1. No background music while you were talking and explaining everything. That allowed me to watch and listen and pay attention to what you were saying. I wish all YT would knock it off with background music when they are talking. It is extremely distracting and annoying. I've been told people like the music. Beats me as to why. Unless it is a music video or a dance video, we don't need any music to listen to an aviation person telling us about aviation incidents and related matters or a DIY channel when the host tells us how to do something. 2. You explained the process in clear and easy-to-understand steps to the point that I was thinking, hey, even I could do it. I bought a house and will be moving later on this month, so I am hoping to not to have to use this skill for a while. But it is good to know about. Thank you.

[@RoscoReviews]

Thanks for the feedback! I agree with you on the music. I’ve put it on some videos before but I think with the DIY instructional videos, it kind of gets in the way. Thanks for the support :)

[@RoscoReviews]

Thank you! Happy to help :)

[@scotsmanofnewengland7713]

Thanks. I have the same model and after 40 yrs of use it’s starting to leak around the base. I have seen some people push up the handle as they run the water and that is a No No. Release your hand from the handle when the water is running. The pressure on the handle causes more problems down the road. Also put something in the sink tub like a cloth to keep small parts from falling into the drain. Lesson learned on that here. Thanks again

[@RoscoReviews]

Wow. 40 years is a good run! Where I live we have really hard water and it tends to make all of the rubber seals on pretty much everything wear out in 10 years or so.

[@lauragow3964]

Fingers crossed our replacement goes this easy! Off we go!

[@RoscoReviews]

Awesome! Nice work. I always love hearing the success stories.

[@sergioleone4215]

Reminds me of my old builders grade sink and faucet that came with my house as new construction in 1980. Instead of repairing the leaky faucet I bought a new cast iron Kohler sink and a new Kraus faucet. Removed the old sink and faucet as a unit and had the new sink and faucet already hooked up. All I had to do was apply some plumbers putty along the perimeter of the countertop, drop the sink in place and make the connections to the water shutoff valves. So much easier than crawling under the sink trying to remove the hardware for the faucet.

[@RoscoReviews]

Yeah. If you are wanting to upgrade anyway. Then when it starts leaking is a good time to do it.

[@joshm3342]

Great video! Some faucet manufacturers will send you parts at no cost, if you call & ask for them. They may or may not require proof of purchase. Sometimes they just ask for model number & date of purchase. This info pertains to residential use customers.

[@RoscoReviews]

Yes! Some brands offer a lifetime warranty. I know Moen Does. I have gotten free parts from them in the past. For the O-rings I don't usually worry about it since they are only a dollar or 2. But the cartridges can be 20+ so getting a free one is nice!

[@檸茶排長龍]

Thank you very much. I want to point out when I took the top o ring out, it was extremely loose. Not knowing that its expansion after years of use was the cause of the leak, I went out to buy an "identical" ring only to find that it does not solve the leak problem. Fortunately, someone from Home Depot later gave me the correct size for free and told me about the expansion and I finally stop the leak.

[@RoscoReviews]

This is good information. It was really nice if Home Depot to get you the correct size for free!!

[@buddyboy4x44]

Most important advice would have been to plug both sinks to avoid dropping bits down into the pipes.

[@RoscoReviews]

Yes! I have mentioned that in other repair video that I have done. But I guess i neglected to mention it in this one… It’s typically a good idea to plug the drains. I’ve dropped screws down there before and it’s never a good time.

[@Incognito-fe8cw]

Excellent video ! But I can't help it, but I gotta say that for many, the fun begins when you start bending allen keys and the screw is seized !

Getting the handle off is often the hardest part. I have even had the cartridge break off trying to pull the handle off after I had removed the set screw. They can get pretty stuck on there.

Suggest soaking the parts with calcium build up in vinegar while putting on O rings etc. removes build up easily. Also use Channel lock to remove top retention ring vs. large pipe wrench

[@RoscoReviews]

That could be very helpful particularly if you live in an area with really hard water. Channel locks could work, a strap wrench also works well and might save the finish on the pieces.

@@RoscoReviews will a crescent wrench 🔧 work instead of those big red ones I don’t have

[@RoscoReviews]

To remove the collar off of the top, it depends on the brand of faucet. Sometimes there is a hexagon shape on top that you can grab with a crescent tench. But, often it’s a smooth sort of dome shape. This will take a pipe wrench or a pair of adjustable pliers large enough to grab it.

[@waterbourne9282]

Great, thanks, been wondering how to solve that. I've found lanolin grease to be a good alternative to plumbers grease. Doesn't tend to wash away over time anywhere near as fast, lasts for quite a number of years.

[@RoscoReviews]

That’s interesting. I’ve never tried that. I have seen some “food grade” lanolin products. So those should be safe for this kind of application.

[@mikecee3058]

Bad advice. The National Rubber Compatibility Chart says it's not recommended for nitrile butadiene rubber, which most o-rings for plumbing applications are made of. Lanolin contains small amounts of acids and alcohol.

[@waterbourne9282]

@@mikecee3058 Thanks for looking into it. I've been using it for around 25 years in domestic applications and never had to change out any of the o-rings. I've re-greased some of them after ten years or so and not noticed any unusual degradation. CRC Lanocote for example seem to be pretty adamant it doesn't harm rubber or neoprene and contains no acids so for myself I'm happy to carry on using it because of its superior longevity. However if that's what the chart says it would be prudent to follow its recommendation.

[@andrewloeffler432]

Couple extra tips: 1. A pick works better than a screwdriver to remove the o-rings. Less potential damage to the groove and easier removal of the o-ring. 2. Silicone in the groove BEFORE re-installing the o-ring allows better silicone coverage. 3. Soak the chrome parts (spout, retainer ring, etc.) in vinegar to remove the scale and deposits so it looks better and functions better. Any scale left inside the spout where water has been leaking past the o-rings will tear up the new o-rings faster.

[@RoscoReviews]

Very good suggestions.

[@randyblackburn9765]

Your faucet mounting nut below sink top may be loose , if o rings become seized and stuck it can turn the entire faucet left and right

[@RoscoReviews]

I would tighten the nut underneath and replace the O-rings. I would bet that would solve the issue.

I love the way that Allen screw came right out. Well, I have been trying every way suggested to turn a stuck Allen screw. But I have not tried a drill bit to start a hole and then use a left-handed screw to withdraw the Allen screw. Does that sound right to you ? Otherwise, it looks like I'll just have to buy one whole new faucet, ouch, $$. Thanks for your suggestions, Art

[@RoscoReviews]

I’ve had those set screws be pretty stubborn. If you have an Allen head screw that is stripped out, then a removal tool is probably the best bet. And I think that is what you are referring to when you say left handed screw. I wouldn’t think you would need to drill it first though. I would turn to the drill after the removal tool didn’t work.
