‎@The Punggol HandyMan : Cold Kitchen Tap Replacement. (leaking, broken, clogged, loose)

[@funkyhaili]

I have learnt a lot from your videos. Simple straightforward and very relevant to S’pore’s home context. Keep it up 👍🏻👍🏻

[@matthewsally9264]

Well done! This is more like a real-world situation where something doesn't shift as easily as expected. Most US 'How tos' are rehearsed beforehand- everything tends to be accessible and nuts and bolts yield easily. Our local handyman shows it like it is!!

Thank you so much for your comment! I love this!

Thank you for sharing. I manage to replace my sink tap finally. Have the same problem where the old tap screw was stuck, unable to remove. I use the wrench with a screwdriver just like u do and it works. Thanks again.👍🙏

Hurray! It must be a good feeling xto have something at home fixed! Like and share!

Thanks very much for the very clear instructions and video. I finally managed to change my sink tap using your techniques ... I face a major issue though. I was not able to unscrew the old rusty hose. It was badly stuck. My mother suggested to oil it which I tried using wd40 with the straw like stick (not sure what is the name) and sprayed against the hose nut base. After few minutes, the nut turned effortlessly to my surprise. And all other steps went smoothly, thanks to your clear instructions 🙏

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Wd40 works great as an anti seize! And I'm so proud of you that you were able to change your tap!

Thks a lot for tis video. Hope to see a video on cold water tap change to a 2 way hot n cold tap. Cheers ! 👍

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Hi! Typically unless you have a hot water supply under the sink the only reason you would do so is for aesthetic reasons. However, as mentioned in the video, a hot cold tap requires a larger bore than the cold tap. And if you want to do that, you need to enlarge the hole on your sink.

[@dicktronics]

well said and received, thank you

[@chaozhouzi1984]

Replacing a hot/cold mixer with a cold water only may not as straight forward after all. For my case the cold water tap's bore is smaller and just fit the sink's hole. After some times of swinging the spout back and forth, water seep below at the base. Have to find a larger rubber washer to solve the problem. All thanks to plumber friend for the washer.

[@ivanteo1973]

may i know what is the thread diameter of this 1:08? My manual indicated G1/2", which i don't understand. What's out typical thread size?

[@DC-ed1mm]

hi thanks for sharing & learnt alot in the video. May i know what box wrench sizes that you used in this video? What is the recommended sizes to buy if to buy in a set?

[@Dr3aMz1982]

nice vid. alot of times, for really tight kitchen faucets, it might help to have someone hold on to the tap on the kitchen top.

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Kindly add in a video for mixer hot cold tap for kitchen sink pls 🙏

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Haha I didn't know I was missing that! Ok when I get the chance.. usually these are actual customer homes so I need a tap repair to come by.

[@cheehoongchow5445]

Thank for sharing towin council how much they charge for the installation of a tap?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Well generally town council does not too that but they will refer you to a handyman or a plumber

[@jit2632]

Hi able to do a video on how to expand a cold water tap to a mixer tap please :)

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Err do you have an existing cold hot connection under your sink?

[@wyattwang6970]

Hello, for such replacement, do u need to also wrap some white plastic tape at the joints?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

White tape is generally not necessary. The washer will prevent any leaks. Applying too much Teflon tape may actually cause leaks instead. However, if you have a stubborn leak, a little tape may help

[@wyattwang6970]

@@ThePunggolHandyMan thank you sir. I really like your videos!

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Thank you so much for your support! Means a lot! Do share it with others who need help!

[@wyattwang6970]

@@ThePunggolHandyMan hello again, may I know what is the name of that metal which u use to tighten the basin tap to the sink? Box wrench? Thanks!

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

@@wyattwang6970 yes! It's also called a tap wrench

[@wilf15592]

Nice vid. One man job? How did you stabilise and fix the orientation of the tap then, as you tightened up the plastic nut below? Cos its bound to rotate out of desired orientation

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Well I have long monkey arms so I could reach the tap with one hand and screw in from below 😄

[@wilf15592]

@@ThePunggolHandyMan ahh lol i thought you could share another trick or tool on how to clamp the tap in place 🤣

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Ahah well usually I screw until almost tight then I come above the sink and force it into alignment

[@lynkoh2941]

Is the direction to remove the hose always anti-clockwise? As it's super tight when I try both directions.

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Yes always leftie loosie

[@georgelong1514]

Hello, box wrench should get what size ya ?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

You can ask the shop staff, depends on mixer or cold tap

[@jyuyinyong3462]

How come after tightening nuts, leaks happen ?😢

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

@@jyuyinyong3462 because you over tighten and damaged the washer probably

[@jyuyinyong3462]

Water dripping below the kitchen sink somewhere in the middle part. How do I know over tighten screw ?

[@pangdaniel6943]
