I’m a single mom, not married so I do EVERYTHING and you don’t know how appreciative I’m for this video, very easy and I replaced it on my own because of your sir 🙌🏾🙏🏾
Girl I am married and asking my husband to fix things is like pulling teeth. I feel you.. 👍🏻 Hope your repair turned out well. 😉
This was very helpful for an elderly woman who did not want to call repair service on a weekend!
Thanks!
Kudos to you! I’m glad the poster was able to help you! I’m about to attempt this as well.
Hello how are you doing hope well keep being a awesome mother I know you do a great job
How long have you been single for
Thank you!
The plumber quoted $500 to fix this issue.
Cost me $7 from Home Depot and less than 5 minutes of my time.
Just wanted to thank you. I don’t have a dad to help me and your explanation video saved me over $200
It’s amazing how one man can make us all so happy for his videos. Thank God.
I'm a female senior citizen and received a quote of $325 to make this repair. Thought I'd check to see how much labour would be involved and now feel confident that maybe I can fix it myself. Thanks for such clear instructions and views of the parts. I'm all excited to try!
You should maybe look for a different plumbing company, I recommend a smaller company that won’t try to rip you off, if you lived in my area we could do that for you with an affordable price.
The quote was the lowest of bids from Angie's List, unfortunately. BUT - I had my daughter watch the video thinking she would offer me encouragement and instead she came over and did it for me. Again, thanks so much for the clear instructions - it works great now!
This is the second project you’ve helped me with.
Thank you, truly for taking the time to teach everyone.
Awesome! Really glad to hear you are finding value in the channel. Thanks a lot for the feedback Steve!
Fantastic video Adam! Thank you. My brother called tonight since his Moen shower diverter was splitting the water 50/50 between the spout and shower head. He was panicking because he had called Four Seasons Plumbing who charged him $90.00 to come to his house to inspect the problem and they gave him an estimate of $600.00 to repair the shower diverter. NOT KIDDING! Moen is going to ship the repair kit to my brother free of charge and I will install it for him. I hope he buys me a slice of pizza.
Wow that is a really expensive repair! I am glad you are going to be able to take care of it for much less. I get having to pay for expertise but wow that is stunning. Thanks a lot for the feedback!
Thank you!
👍
Great tutorial. Going to give this a try. Thank you
Some plumbers are complete thieves.
If every school, technical school, etc would have a trainer like this pro who explained how to stuff like this... so clear... students would learn 10x. Thanks!
Hi Adam, I am a 66 years-old Asian lady. I have a rental unit which had a spout leaking problem. I called a friend who got paid to fix things around my house. He decided to have a movie relaxing day today, and would come tomorrow after 5pm. Tenants are not willing to wait. So I searched in CZcams, and I found your step by step, very detail video. I decided to do it myself, and I did it! I am very thankful for your sharing. You make an old lady very happy today 🤓. Thank you, thank you, thank you…..
I appreciate the video. You speak clearly so I didn't have any trouble hearing and there wasn't a lot of background noise. Good camera / video. I didn't know how to even go about it before watching the video. It took me longer than it took you because I'm just not as good at it as you are but not a real problem to change it, and for $7.96 including sales tax.
Thank you so much!!! I have been so intimidated by the process, your video gave me the confidence to at least give it a go. And you’re right, it was easy and fast!
I'm a retired, divorced woman and this video saved me money and headaches! I was able to use the same parts without removing the faucet as some other video suggested. Thanks for making it so easy for me!
WOW thank you so much!!! Your video made this fix clear as day, and so affordable! 🙏
And nothing feels better than fixing our own plumbing issues. Thanks again!
I've literally had this issue happening at my grandmother's house for YEARS and just thought we would have to deal with it. Going over there to fix this for her this weekend! Thank you so much for this!!! 😊
Did it work
Yeah, did it work?
Well??
@@abcdefg54321x guess we’ll never know guys
We'll never know if it worked. On the way to grandma's house, she met a wolf...
Thank you. I couldn't figure out where the rubber gasket went! I appreciate the video being so straight forward
Excellent helpful 💯👍
God bless you!
Great thumbnail literally exactly what I’ve been looking for lmao thank you made it easy to find
Thank you . Very well said
Very useful video. Instructions were thorough, clear and easy to follow. Thanks for taking the time to do the video.
I was hoping this would be a simple repair and it looks like it will be. Got my Diverter Valve (DV) out thanks to your advice and think I found a replacement on Amazon for the lovely price of $8. I took mine out and it was sitting back a little from the front of the plastic holder and at 17 years old, a little hard. I tried an o-ring behind it to push it out a little but that didn't help, hence the order for new ones. Thanks for the look inside the nozzle!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Amazingly clear instructions (I was a former Policy & Procedure writer) and great video work.
You just saved me $60 on a new spout. Thank you so much
Awesome! You are very welcome. Thanks a lot for leaving the feedback!
Was about to make a trip to Home Depot this morning for a new faucet or call a plumber. Decided to watch some videos, yours was by far the easiest and most informative. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, saved me a bunch of time and money! Just needed a good cleaning.
You’re the goat for this video forsure 🐐 thank you!!
Thank you so much! Re-bath was going to charge me $125 to come out and do this! You are so appreciated!!! new subscriber for Life❤️
Great video with very clear guidance and instructions!!
Thank you. Super helpful. You do a great job with your video demonstrations.
Just wanted to say "Thanks"! Your concise and clear video helped me get my shower fixed in 10 minutes flat. Thanks a ton, dude, your work is really helping people ❤️
You are very welcome! Really glad to hear you found it so helpful. Thanks a lot for the feedback Tom!
Perfect video for my needs and understanding!
A very good explanation and presentation. Thanks very much
Thank you soooo much! I'm so grateful to good people like you who share your content. Saving a few bucks goes such a long way especially in times like these. God bless you!
You are very welcome! Really glad to hear you liked it. Thanks a lot for the feedback Karla!
Fixed the shower all on my own thanks to your amazing video! The replacement gate didn't fit, but all I needed was that rubber seal from the package. I replaced that, put it all back together, and now it works even better than before! Saved me the hassle of waiting on my landlord, thank you!!
You are very welcome! Really glad to hear you liked it. Thanks a lot for the feedback!
Great video. Well explained. Awesome visual angle.
Thank you!!!! Replacing this tomorrow as soon as the hardware store opens!!! Life saver!!
What a great video! I followed each step and it saved me hundreds of $$$!
Thanks so much for sharing your expertise! God bless you!
You are very welcome! Really glad to hear you liked it and was able to save you so much. Thanks a lot for the feedback! God bless you too.
New sub here! I have a husband who is a handyman but it takes months for him to fix anything in our own house😂 I am going to Homedepot right now!
Great explanation. Good video photography.
Hurray, exactly what I needed
You saved us over $100 ! We thought we needed to replace the entire unit, but only spent $6.00 for the spout diverter repair kit and it works like new! Thanks!!! YOU ROCK!!!
Perfect timing. I need to do this and had no idea that there was a diverter repair kit. Thanks!
It‘s just a great video that is straight to point, concise, and fix the issue. Excellent!
Thank you so much! My shower diverter was apparently slowly coming unscrewed and this morning finally fell apart. Your video helped me figure out how to put it all back together again!
You're welcome! Really glad it was helpful. Thanks a lot for the feedback!
Thank you sooooo much I can finally fix my girls shower❤
Very helpful video. Easy fix . Ran to Lowe’s and got this and now My shower is working. Thank you!
You are very welcome! Really glad you were able to get it fixed! Thanks a lot for the feedback!
Excellent video. You explained it perfectly. Now I can fix my tub thank you
I just bought my first home (1930s). Thank you for saving me time and money
Have a husband that doesn’t have time for fixing things. Yep I do. Thanks great demo. ❤
Now 13 thousand a one likes, so many thanks for sharing this how to. This is now my task for this morning. Cover me! I'm going in!
Thank you so much! This just happened to my home shower and I didn't know how to fix it until this video! Great advise and guide! Lifesaver !
Great tutorial as usual. I'm a retired home improvement contractor that now does handyman work. Your videos have helped me immensely. I already had a lot of basic knowledge due to my years in the field but you literally cover everything. I find your channel to be an excellent tool to rely on in my daily endeavors. Thank you!!!
No one cares😂
@@jamesmclovin1319If that guy comes to work on your house, you will.
Awesome
Well done, Sir!
dude my spare bathroom has been driving me crazy for the past 13 years that i bought my house and has gotten really bad and super annoying to me. i imagine it probably wasted around 2 or 3 gallons of water each time someone showers. I think i have ocd but i like all my plumbing and what not to work properly in my house. super easy cheap fix i cant believe it completely stopped the leak. not even a drop! So beautiful man. I went back with square for square like you said. if it was my main shower it probably would have been one of the first things i did to my house. thank you!
I watched 1/3 of video and knew I could do it.
Thanks so much. I purchased the exact one you suggested and then had fixed in 3 minutes.
My wife thinks I’m a hero! 😀
Oh, So that is how you take that little piece out. Hmm once I saw this and got the correct kit, it took about 2 minutes to fix. Thank you for sharing.
Very helpful and straight to the point
Excellent tip! Thank you so very much, Sir. I’ve switched out the entire spout before and was very unhappy with the way the new spout didn’t set flush against the tile. It would’ve required another whole turn but my pipe didn’t have the threads and it would’ve been stuck at an angle. I’m going this route for my new problem. Thanks again. You’ve earned another subscriber.
Greatly appreciated this video. Saved me time and money.
My tub/shower started doing the same thing. Was worried it would be a painful fix, came across your video and it did the trick. Was able to purchase a repair kit and replace myself in under 10 minutes. Thanks so much!
You're a life saver. Thanks for a concise and helpful video.
Thank you for keeping this simple. I knew it was a simple fix. I watched 4 videos and was not satisfied with the process they were giving. So, I kept looking and found exactly what I was looking for. I appreciate it.
Extremely helpful. Wish all repair videos were this easy to follow. Cheers!
Great video and instructions for this common issue. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks for the help and explanation on this!
Kudos on this guy’s perfect explanations, video shots, and step by step. Best video I found (after viewing several) to complete this repair myself
Thank you brother for the tips God bless you
Ironically, I am heading over to a friends house this morning to fix this exact issue. I hadn't done it in a loooong time, and your video refreshed my memory. Huge thanks and perfect timing...almost.
Awesome. That is pretty good timing. Glad it was able to help. Thanks a lot for the feedback!
What if both the gate & washer are in good shape & issues still exist, what can I check next, or just replace them & then see what happens?
@@MichaelSmith-sz7kf Just because the gate and washer appear to be in good shape doesn't mean they aren't worn out or degraded. Mine still had the washer and gate. They looked fine. I replaced them and now it works. Replace them.
@@IAMRUSTEDROOT appreciate the feedback, ordered a new set for that very same reason/conclusion I made as well!
Looks like you've helped a lot of people so far keep up the good work!
Thank you so very much for posting this video. I watched several but you were the 1st to answer my question perfectly. Going to save me time and money. ❤❤
Fantastic video and info, Adam! Had no idea the diverter was replaceable! We've been plagued with a guest shower that screams, and quite embarrassing when having guests overnight. I knew it was the diverter either corroded or hardened. Trying to remove the entire spout was proving difficult (felt like the copper plumbing was going to come with it). Based on your video, I just removed the diverter (took 2 minutes) and sure enough the gasket is hard as a rock. Heading to the store today to get a kit.
Related topic, I've watched a couple of your electrical wiring videos. Just installed a new disposal this weekend, and didn't twist the wires as you recommend. Going to open it up real quick and make better wire nut connections. Keep the videos coming!
Very straightforward video without waste of time. Thank you! Might also start by turning the spout counterclockwise and turning up so it's easier to access the parts for us old folks who don't want to lay down in the tub and work upside down. Or, removing the spout and replacing it after repair with new teflon tape & etc. That also allows you to clean any sentiment/corrosion that is allowing water to leak around the seal. Thanks again!
Great video. Saved me a major headache.
This is the video i need after spending a lot of effort trying to unscrew the top of lift rod 😂❤❤❤ thank you
Same here!! 😆 then I said, "Let me check youtube "
I’ve never been more excited of repairing in my life!! Thank you for this video ❤🎉
Thanks, man. Just got into town to visit my mom, and now she can shower again
Thank you for making this video. Saved me alot as new homeowner. ❤
This man is both a gentleman and a scholar! Thank you good sir!
Immensely helpful, thanks. I'm most definitely not a handyman and it's nice to learn how much I can really do.
Thank you for showing and explaining in such easy-to-understand detail each step in the process. After watching your video I'm confident I can manage this repair myself. Thx again!
Thank you. My plastic part was square and Home Depot in Canada only carries Moen kit which are rectangular. I ended up just replacing the o ring .key is to have a small long nose plier to pull out the old white plastic part without damaging it, so you can reuse it. Subscribed!
You are very welcome! Really glad to hear you found it helpful. Thanks a lot for the feedback and look forward to seeing you around the channel!
Thank you very much! Had never messed with this and somehow my kid took it apart. Thankfully it was a very easy fix. Thanks again!
Your video saved me last night. In all my years, I've never had to replace a diverter. I had guests coming, so 8 pm was not the best time to have to figure out how to fix it. Your tutorial was fantastic and showed me exactly what I needed to do. Thank goodness Home Depot stays open late!!! Aloha!
Thanks! The angle you shot this video from was so helpful. The video really empowered me to fix this myself.
Awesome! You are very welcome. Glad to hear you were able to tackle this! Thanks a lot for the feedback and the Super Thanks!
Thank you for this money saving video.
I fixed my shower today, thanks to your video. Very helpful! Thank you!
Awesome, simple, straight forward repair video. Thanks!!!
Thank you so much!! Now I can take care of it myself.
Thank you!!! I was almost going to replace all the fixtures in the bathroom because no one seems to make the antiqued brass any longer and that's what came in the bathroom in the condo I bought. When I came to youtube to see if there were any tricks I needed to know about how to replace the spout with a diverter, I saw your video on replacing the diverter itself...and that's all I needed! (I'm female, well past retirement age, but I've never been afraid to jump into "doing it myself.") Thank you, so much.
Thanks dude, I watched this today to help me fix my moms. I had to go to 3 stores to find the kit, Lowes had it.
Nice! Glad it was able to help you out. Thanks for the feedback!
This is a GREAT DIY summary...so SO grateful for this vid, explanation, insight...FANTASTIC!
Thank you! Just replaced a broken seal on my tub spout using the advice from this video. Worked perfectly!
THANK YOU for this EXCELLENT video❗️
I’m a complete plumbing bonehead ( heck, I’m many kinds of a bonehead ) and even I was able to get it fixed perfectly in 84 seconds, once I found the correct repair kit by looking at spout gate images online, this after pulling out the original gate.
For the extraction, I used a narrow head standard screwdriver inserted between the two plastic holding tabs where they gripped the lift rod. No tools required for the install phase, friction fit. Perfect repair, under $8, thanks to YOU.
Note: the old gasket was intact, but 38 years old and hard as a rock. PS: The new black gasket sits slightly recessed in its socket in the gate, but under water pressure it moves forward & becomes flush to the valve seat to make a good seal. Only after the install that I noticed that the kit I used was the exact same one in your video. Surprisingly, the specialty plumbing repair supply store that I called first did not have it, but a big box store did.
Plumbing repairs make me very anxious, but you gave me the confidence to git it done.
Adam, you are a HERO to many!
As a retired man, who used to just hire his repairs done, and now finds he is doing a lot of minor jobs and doing them for the first time, thanks. I never would have gotten past the initial failure to remove this part, the part being where it could not be observed. And that was the hardest and longest part of this repair, fiddling with opening the part to allow it to be removed. Well, the other time consuming part was traveling into the near by town, since the hardware store in my little town would have sold me a new faucet rather than a part for the repair at 1/10th of the cost.
Thank you so much for this video , helped me to fix with ease
Great video. Heading out to get the new part and will replace it myself. Almost called a plumber to make the repair, but after watching your video there is no doubt I can do it. Thanks, you saved me a lot of money!
Huge help. I suck at all things, but thanks to this video I was a success!
I am really glad to hear it was helpful. Thanks a lot for the feedback!
I'm sure you are good at many things! 😉
Wow! Your video popped up befpre I could finish typing in the search bar. I'm pretty handy for a lady, however, this shower issue stressed me out! I had to shower in the guest bathroom for two weeks 😞. I like to use MY bathroom! Thanks so much for sharing this quick, easy fix! 🙌🏾
Life saver! Thank you! This issue had me wanting to throw the whole house away 🤦🏾♀️😂
Thanks so much! This is exactly what I’m dealing with at home.
You helped me fix mine!! I am so grateful for this video. Thank you so much!
I just used your guidance to repair mine. Worked wonderful. Thank you sooooo much!!!
I was just thinking about this during my shower. Low pressure situations really amplify the problem if you have one. Appreciate it 🍻
