Ethan Chlebowski run a bead of silicone around the base to keep water from leaking under and causing the rust and grime issues you had on the old one. Silicone is super easy to remove when you need to replace the faucet again. You won’t regret it!
@uclatimsta3 жыл бұрын
@@EthanChlebowski That gasket generally speaking is trash and should not be trusted to keep water splashes from dripping down the main hole where the faucet stem is placed. Even just a periodic drip can cause the cabinets to warp or even worse develop mildew/mold. I'd suggest putting a sheet pan under there for the time being and check it after a large load of sink usage so see if you are getting any moisture dripping through. As mentioned by others a bead of silicone around the gasket will provide a permanent solution. It's really easy to remove with a putty knife if you have to change the faucet back when you move and will ensure not losing your deposit over cabinet replacements.

a personal tip from me: nearly anything can be removed from non-cast iron pots and pans with pure sodium carbonate or another pure alkaline (any soluble hydroxide or carbonate should do). just put some powder in the pot, pan or baking sheet to cover the bottom, put a little bit of water in there and heat it for some time (like 30 mins or something). everything should come off easily then
@zuthalsoraniz67643 жыл бұрын
First is to clean as you go - if you have used something that you won't be using again during the cooking process (say, cutting board after you have done all your cutting), and there is some amount of downtime while something simmers or such, just use that time to clean up, it makes the amount of cleanup you have to do at once after eating a lot less. Also, clean things as soon as possible in general - food residues become a lot harder to clean up once they are dried in. And I find that for the majority of things, just running the pan under hot water is enough if it is not dried-in, or if that isn't enough then a light application of dish soap and elbow grease will do the trick. Though I also use some pretty good nonstick pans, so that certainly helps.
@wseto093 жыл бұрын
Missing one part that I've noticed in most faucet change videos like these and this one missed it but can be added later. Teflon tape. It's cheap. $1 - $2. Why need it? To wrap the threading before joining and it prevents the threads being connected from possible seizing over time plus it can also help too also for the possible of leaking from the threads when joining back to the old supply lines too. Seizing of the threads joining to the supply line depends if you have hard water that can overtime be harder to separate. If you have soft water. Not much worry on the threads but still possible leaks if not tighten right. Teflon tape.

A lot of misinformation here. First off, it is a fair comparison to make, when comparing a hung picture frame and replacing a kitchen sink faucet. In fact, replacing a sink faucet can more than likely be 100% reversed. Should you still communicate with your landlord first? Of course. Most probably won't even care, but a lot of what they decide on will be based on the relationship and trust you have established with them and how you go about asking. As for the guy who said driving a nail into a nail isn't as big of a deal as swapping a faucet out? He's wrong. Driving nails or drilling screws into walls wherever you please can be extremely risky and potentially very expensive. You have to know what's behind that wall first. It could be a wire, a water line, a vent, etc. And that could lead to costly damage or put someone at serious risk. You also have to fill those holes in and repair any damage you've done to the wall, otherwise your deposit could be held. You could argue drilling or hammering nails into your walls poses a much greater risk than replacing a faucet.

I have a very similar faucet; my apartment came with one that was low and short, scraped from the bottom of the bargain barrel along with all the other hardware they use. Personally, I never use that arm that holds the faucet head; It's just one more thing to get in the way of grabbing the faucet head, and the head stays put well enough without it.
