I've been the handy-woman for my home for decades and still look to the experts for support and reminders of how to get things done. I like your style and appreciate your experience. You're one of a kind! Thanks for the video!

[@johnadams9711]

Thanks Dino! Your brass faucet rebuild video helped me do mine. Your comments on the dangers of removal of "residual debris upon disassembly" proved of great value. Followed your leads and advice, and my wife even thinks I'm smart. lol Again; many thanks!

[@thereseogorzaly9280]

Aww Thanks for helping me. A Plummer came to my house and said it would be $1500.00 to replace my brass faucets in my slop sink. He didn’t say anything about trying to change washers. My house was built in 1980’s. Anyway, the faucet is leaking hot water and will not turn off all the way. So I said no thanks. My faucet is still leaking. Now I know what to expect and ask for when I get a new Plummer. Thanks!

[@danielabbey7726]

Thanks Dino! Having problems with exactly the same slop-sink faucet, so I'm going to tackle it myself thanks to your great video.

[@dontswin]

"You don't wanna drop that thing, OMG it would take hours to sort that out" That's funny and words to heed ! I had to chuckle on that one, good point. THANKS

[@jaynelson4216]

Just did mine and no more leaking. Bought a 96 piece kit for 9:00 dollars. The old washers were hard as a rock. The bibb screws were in good condition. Tried the different washers from the kit moving up in size until I thought I had the right size. Then I remembered you said to try one size higher just in case and glad I did because that one fit snug. Thank you.

[@DOLRED]

Thanks for devoting time to helping everyone out!! I have been learning about plumbing for 50+ years!! On my Slop Sink Faucet, I believe the best washer is a Neoprene extra thick washer. Finding one? Still looking. The regular size ones cause problems. The beveled ones cause the faucet to "Scream" when opened.

[@girohead]

Thank you for confirming! My next fear is going to the big box store since small places with people who know what they are talking about are gone. In fact people like Pro Dino are gone. Who nowadays teaches details like covering drain to not lose things? Who knows how to do these things anymore? Thank you Dino for passing along your trade skills! It's so sad that these are gone, nowadays, the panicked homeowner will pay someone $100 to install the Chinese faucet they purchased from Costco and it'll last 6 months, not 60 years. I want to go back in time.

[@k.b.woodworker3250]

I have the same faucet. Took it to the hardware store and they had all the parts. Thanks for the informative video! very helpful.

[@lorenlukas8291]

Thanks you made it easy as you prepared me for that screw that dissolved. I liked following you through the real time work with all its actual little problems rather then a perfect world demo.

[@plantsandfish5512]

Thanks!

[@maypo1960]

I've been doing my own home repair for years, and I still found this very helpful. Thanks. Gonna do my slop sink faucet this weekend.

[@gypsybear]

Thank you so much for the video! Everything made sense and it wasn't one of those overly perfect, nothing ever goes wrong things that makes me feel like I've screwed the pooch the minute I run into some small, very common problem. Off to tackle my laundry sanitary sink!

[@tjmaclean]

Great video - thanks for the no nonsense advice! I'm gonna do my laundry sink now!

[@josephineananda]

You are great, very helpful and informative information, down to earth, practical, detailed!

[@roslynny]

Thanks Jo, thanks for watching and commenting !

[@Mikee535]

Thanks for your help and time making this video! The hot water valve was pumping like you mentioned in your video and today it completely failed to shut off completely. I removed the stem, used a little WD40 to loosen it. I needed the whole stem I had some threads that were slivering off. Went to Lowes and the whole stem, o-rings and all, already assembled was $7.50. Put some plumbers tape on the threads, the washer that came with it and the laundry sink hot water valve works like new. Bought a cold water stem too in case that gives me trouble in the future. Thanks again.

[@mecu57]

I love where he sings at 15:50, I had to listen to it about 5 times LOL makes me laugh hard. Enjoyed your accent and listening to you do your job.

[@davemanshoultz]

Excellent video. Helped me fix my utility sink. Thank you!

[@lindaporreca7468]

great details. Like working with my father! learned extra tid bits that I will use and share with my kids.

[@JohnAvantiBK]

Good job and video those stems are $4 each

[@mystang88]

Cool video to show ppl how to do for themselves but went to Home Depot and got a glacier bay faucet for $40. Took me 10 minutes to take the old one out and put the new one in. The old threaded adapters even worked!

[@roberteckert9699]

Thanks for the guidance.....helped a lot 👍

[@robertpisut4381]

Great video, I have the same old sink, I thought I would never find the same cartridges to fix the leak around the stems. I just changed the o-rings and no leaks! Thanks for this unique video!

[@kingeli8839]

i realize I am kinda off topic but does anyone know a good website to watch new movies online?

[@kingrowan5554]

@King Eli flixportal xD

[@jgnorda]

Thanks - I have the same sink in my basement. Now I can fix it.

[@user-sr4nz4bo8l]

😂 ok joe very good like. Xxxxxxxxxx

[@KevinStanislawski]

Getting ready to do this tonight.....old parents haven't taken care of it in decades....ours looks about as bad as yours. Wish me luck! Thanks for the video, this will help me loads.

[@jennifervorano8508]

best helping vid I've ever watched!!!

[@kxfiel001]

I saved $475.00 by watching this video. Spent 9.50 for supplies at Home Depot.

[@x2wheelthrottle253]

Most of these laundry tub faucets are Gerber brand. The cold uses a 1B-2C valve assembly. The hot uses a a 1B-2H assembly. They are about $7 dollars apiece. I just replaced both valve assemblies and they work great..

[@PJMDValley]

I always use a box end/open end wrench when possible .... a crescent would be my the last choice. Head cam works good .... great vid.

[@CharlieMeyerson]

Very helpful!

[@hamidm5460]

Thank you Dino - a little long but very helpful.

[@waterheaterservices]

That topper makes a nice work shop on wheels

[@chuckyoneill9029]

Are they flat washers or conical? Thanks and good work

[@XXXPOFIXXX]

awesome tutorial...even the lamest repair mind (me)can follow this guy...you should teach !!

[@getredytagetredy]

BRONX BOMMER ...he is...and a good one at that...

[@BortPlate]

How in the world does one remove the spout nut to fix a leak there? The spout nut on these are maybe 2mm away from the bigger 'union' nuts. I can't seem to get a tool in there!

[@carolfranklin5956]

This is very helpful Thank you....

[@ming236]

What kind of flexible water hose can be connected to this faucet? what size?

[@ghidfg]

my faucet has stopped leaking after changing out that washer, but I am finding that I have to use a lot of force to shut off the water now. does that washer have to be broken in or did I do something wrong?

[@tubaljohn1]

Mind if I ask you something Dino? I'm an Ironworker, so I think I over tightened and just want to do the whole over. Can I get the whole knob part with washers? I have a big plumbing supply right by me.

[@benbilcsik4984]

The first piece adice was the most helpful I covered my drains with paper towels and sure enough they kept some piece from going down the drain. Now the stationary tub is doesn't leak.

[@mjkirk12]

Thanks for posting. I replaced the washers which helped. My house is about 50 years old (Chicago burbs). The shaft splines are worn and no longer grip the faucet handles. Handle slips and I can't shut completely off unless I use vise-grips. I tried a handle kit with set-screws - but that slips as well. These stem assemblies are no longer made?

[@henry5123]

Great video, can I shut the water off to just the slop sink so it doesn't affect use of the other faucets in the house?

[@garyjohnson8400]

What o-rings I can't see what you're doing

[@jakubhryniewicz5321]

Great informative video! Thanks. I have that very faucet, but I also need to replace the washer that's in the spout. What kind of wrench do I need to get the center nut off?

[@sailingpittsburgh]

Thanks for your great instructions. I had trouble getting the stem back in so I had to unwind the handles to force the o-ring into the hole before the cap would engage the threads. Once it started in the threads by hand I was able to tighten the cap back on. The only problem now is that the stem leaks when the water is running but not when the faucet is shut off. Do you think the o-ring is the source of this problem? Also, the handles do not line up and I can not get them to come off to line them up properly. Is there some way to free them up? I was thinking some liquid wrench rust remover would be good but they don't look rusty. Is there another technique to use?

[@cjhart2000]

i think I have the same faucet, Central Brass in my laundry room. My spout doesn't swivel side to side anymore, how to fix it. also, Ill be fixing my leak too.

[@flnativeplant]

Dino, Great Video! Do you know any plumbers in Fort Myers, FL that can do this job? I like doing repairs myself but I'm not as focused as you or as precise as you. Keep up the good work! Thank you

[@diyMute]

trying to fix my faucet but i can't get one of the handle assembly's off what should i do? the flat parts are very torn up and chewed up i am trying to flatten them up with a metal file but its not coming loose any pointers? tricks?

[@patrickmeehan811]

i noticed when you have faucet on just half way waterflow slows to nearly off . you dont mention this ? im having this issue with my slop sink. could it be an o-ring issue?

[@gkess7106]

Patrick Meehan Three years and no answer?

[@getredytagetredy]

4 years and no answer?

[@johnhuss9630]

Very helpful. I just fixed my faucet following your advice. One thing I was unable to do was to get the handles off the stems. Mineral deposits are holding it on. I tried soaking them in Coke, and then I tried soaking them in vinegar. Neither worked. What's the best way to loosen up or dissolve those mineral deposits?

[@dontswin]

I would try some penetrating oil spray and a hammer with it in a vice. Set it up in the vice and slightly tap the handle different ways. It will come off.

[@williamyang1353]

where to buy the rings and rings

[@stephenjuth2900]

Great video, Dino! Quick question: I have a utility sink with new valves (installed myself). Now when I turn the hot/cold on, water comes out and then stops suddenly with a bang. I have to turn the valves on further to get the water to continue flowing. This happens every time. I'm not sure if this is an airlock. I just drained all pipes in my house and refilled, but this problem continues to occur. Any suggestions?

[@KathrynFritze]

Tighten the screw holding the washer??? I think he mentioned this early in the video as he is removing the stem

[@evenflow3256]

😍

[@PoeticSongDiva]

Im really upset that I can't really see this. It's blurry, it may be my stupid phone though

[@rickyonovitz3214]

Good video but I can’t see

[@Rick-gy8fz]

Dude, you need to get in close. Can not see any details. Like I'm watching you from across the room.

[@getredytagetredy]

A brand new one is 40.00$...

[@MWash-yr1xe]

Don’t remove the ground wire when you actually have no idea where it’s going. It could be grounding anything. Very bad idea.

[@jos.4276]

The photo for this video doesn't match what you're working on. Frustrating.

[@donlessnau3983]

Lousy camera work. Pretty lame
