I did it!!! It took me about an hour, although it felt much longer. Tears of frustration and a bit of cussing. My hardest parts were getting rhe faucet loose from the sink and getting the old supply lines off the faucet. Vice grips, small slip joint pliers, and some wd40. Go me!!! I'm almost 65, living in an old house trailer. Cold water in the kitchen is the first of many projects. Thank you so much!!
Great job!
You go girl!!!!😊
😊
You go, girl!!
I am going to do it myself as well! Wish me luck!😊
That "go back to the hardware store because you didn't measure" got me right in guts! 🤣
My signature move
Heck that's me I never make one trip
Same, just had to do just that
This is how I knew this was the most truthful DYI video on the subject
Yep, it wouldn’t be a real DIY project unless I have to go to Home Depot at least three times.
This was much more simpler than the home depot video. Thank you!
I just watched that video too 🤣...Way More Complicated Than It Had To Be 🤦🏿♂️

Bro, I was so pissed trying to install this thing. Your chill ass video calmed me down. Thanks!
you did a great job explaining this. I am a 64 yo single woman, and I am getting ready to attempt this by myself. Your video is encouraging that I can do this. Fingers crossed and a few prayers 😊
You can do it!
@showandtellvideo I did it and it works Yay, and Thank you
I just changed my very first faucet using this tutorial.. I'm so proud of myself 😁 I couldn't have done it without you. Thank you.
Excellent! I’m proud of you too! :)
I need to do the same thing. Did you have assistance? I don’t have long arms.
THIS is how you do a tutorial! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thanks! :)
@Ascended Fitness np
I’m in the first 30 seconds and I already appreciate the conciseness
Step 1: start early in the morning. Step 2-9:make frequent visits to the hardware store before they close. step10: go to bed early to continue tomorrow.
Thank you so much for this video! I didn’t have anyone to call to fix my faucet and local plumbers were booked out so I decided to tackle it myself. I followed your video step by step and did it!! So again, thank you!!
This video gave me the guts to feel confident about replacing my broken faucet. I even used the vice grip pliers. It was so rusted I had to remove the entire sink to get the grip and room to actually remove it. But your video is so unbelievably helpful especially reminding to measure the connector lines. Thank you so so very much!
Great tutorial! Upon starting a project, I usually discover that I'm missing an essential tool or piece for the job and it's off to the store I go. Never fails lol!
Lol! Me too!
❤❤❤ I am a widow and a senior person. God bless you for straight forward instructions!
Glad it helped!!
My condolences
Love your straight to the point video and sense of humor. Thank you for not taking an hour to explain. Great work. 😁
Great Tutorial! This would have been so much easier if the people that installed our original faucet didn't tighten the bolt so tight to the faucet bracket. It took us 3 hours to get that thing unscrewed and we had to go buy a better tool to get it off, but finally came off and of course we ended up having to go buy new hose/lines, because ours were also too short, wish I saw this video before I bought the faucet...LOL..all good now and got my new faucet installed and very pleased. Thanks for an easy video!
Thanks! Yeah, I had the same issue. Glad you got past the hard part! :)
Great video! Lovin' your honesty and imperfection since I thought I was the ONLY person who had to go back to the hardware store more than twice!
Thank you for this most helpful upload!
i think you have the only video on youtube with no negative comments! congrats bro! it was a great video simple to the point and with just the right amount of humor .
Thanks, John!!
And 5 years later this vid still kicks ass thxs dude. Just had my sink broken this morning and 45 mins later fixed it.
Thanks! Glad you got it fixed in record time! Apparently, you didn’t have to make an extra trip to the hardware store.
@@ShowandTellVideo nope, my sister was relieved that we didn't have to call a plumber.
Straight to the point, simple enough for a novice like me to understand, good video quality, and funny to boot! Thanks so much!!
Simple and straght to the point. Thanks!
Thanks so much! Before faucet looked exactly the same with the black duct tape covering the hole,down to the single handle, the after is moen Banbury double handled faucet. Easy instructions and fast install.
Congrats!! :)
Fantastic guide! Lead me straight through the process, and had my new faucet running in under an hour. Thanks!!
Great video, far FAR better than the overly complicated Home Depot video. Thank you for making this video, just made my Saturday a lot easier.
This was very helpful in replacing my faucet. Thank you very much for posting this!
Loved the humor and real world implications. Thanks for making this short yet detailed focused on the subject.
"Step sixteeeeeen" 😂😂😂
I’m still waiting for Step “Seventeeeeeeen”
My thoughts exactly! 😅🤣 Great informative video nonetheless!
Step oneeeeeeee
From the time you slowly opened the box like a "big reveal" , I knew I would enjoy this video 😀
Thanks! :)
Thanks for the video tutorial... I was able to use it to help me replace mine. I got lucky and had the exact same replacement faucet you have. I SUCK at being a handyman of any kind so I depend on CZcams for help.... thanks a bunch!
No problem! You and me both! lol! That’s the first and only faucet I have ever replaced, so..yeah, anyone can do it. Glad the video helped!
One of the best, and funniest, how-o videos I've seen!
Thank you so much for this step by step video. I was able to change my kitchen faucet all by myself (with your help lol)! Awesome!
Super helpful! Made it so easy a stay-at-home-mom with no plumbing experience did this in less than an hour with no issues. Thanks!
This was the best DIY video I have seen to date! Very easy to follow, short and to the point, expressed the importance of “measure twice cut once,” and somehow managed to get really clean easy to see shots beneath the sink! Wow! Many thanks!
Thanks! Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! ANd OMG had me laughing at Step #14 when you talked about upgrading supply line because you didn't measure!!! I'm lmao thanks for making my day!
Short and sweet with all the essentials. Thank you!!
Great! :)
Thanks this gave me the confidence needed to get this done at my house. Simpler and faster than i was expecting
Very glad to hear! :)
straight to the point, the best video for this project on CZcams
I have to replace my mom's sink faucet as I am trying to save her money. Watching your video, I just ordered the tools I'll need from Lowes plus the extra Supply lines just in case, so I can tackle the job tomorrow without having to stop and go back to the hardware store. I'll have everything I need to do the job. Thanks for your video!!!
Awesome video thanks for sharing! I’m going to attempt to change my kitchen sink out soon, this is definitely going to help out. I bought a basin wrench, I also have vice grips but I know I’m going to make at least one trip to the hardware store!
You made me laugh a couple of times when you were honest about measuring etc., lol Thank you for keeping it real!
My friend's mobile home had a 3 hole kitchen faucet. I borrowed a plumbers flip sliding wrench. Didn't have much luck. I had to go home and get my 1⅛" Mac crowsfoot. It'll fit most faucet nuts & toilet supply lines. Perfect fit for the older hex nuts. It'll catch the newer 4 wing plastic nuts. It won't fit the ones under the faucet base. (The top nuts) I had to use pump plyers. My new faucet said to use a silicone or latex based sealant when installing on the new threads. Pipe dope or plumbers putty will ruin the plastic. That's a first. Teflon tape will only work if you can get a super thin layer. It can split the nuts if you put too much. Silicone it is. You need to let it sit a few hours before turning the water on. Check for drips. I was good.
Awesome tutorial,easy to follow,and the number of steps had me laughing so much. 😂😂😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻.
GG i liked the commentary. It was short but funny. 🤣
it also helped me a lot to tackle replacing our faucet.
I like this tutorial video, clear and short. Good job.
This is great. I was looking on getting this same one except in their stainless version
excellent video not without humor ! you got me buying the Caldwell as well.
Hell Yeah! I just attempted this and was successful thanks to your vid! Thanks man!!
Awesome!! :)
Thank you for this!! Struggling to do some things on my own, without family around. This made it nice and easy.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for posting this helpful video
Lol, go back to the hardware store for longer hose, lmao!!!
This video was a life saver! I qas so proud of myself! Couldn't have done it without this awesome, simple and to the point viedo! Thank you so much!
Your video has helped yet another clueless couple fix their leaky focet! Thank you!!!!!!!
I wasn't expecting a laugh AND great instructions, but here we are. Thank you for this!!!
Thank you for this tutorial, finished this In about an hour, no 2nd trip necessary❤
Great job!
Pretty sure this is the exact same model (and definitely the same problem) I have right now! Perfect video
Nice Video Easy And Straight To The Point!
I just replaced our kitchen faucet. I planned on one hour or so. . . well, three hours latter and a trip to the hardware store to buy new lines and I was done. The hardest thing was trying to loosen the old plastic water rings with a plumbers off set wrench. Boy was that hard! Most things take longer than originally planned.
I sure am glad that is done. This was a great video. I wished I would have watched it first. I did the replacement in the order that is shown here. The newer facets have a 6" copper drop down to make the replacement much easier.
I would strongly suggest a plumbers offset wench before you start your project. Good luck. You pretty much need to be a human contortionist to perform this on a older appliance.
Thanks. The video really helped out. No problems
Thank you, this was really helpful!
Thanks man this video was simple and straight forward
I didn't know that I should have bought the same faucet my service lines didn't add up but you saved my ass thank you for your video
No problem, Reggie! Glad it worked out!
Had to replace a cheap faucet that leaked in the house I just purchased. Bought a Moen, and with this great video took me 45 minutes to remove the old faucet and install the new one. Thank you for providing this easy to follow instructional video. 👍👍👍
About to change mine out. This put me at ease dude, thank you!
No problem 👍
Outstanding great video
Thank you. Very easy to follow and not long & drawn out. Also, I love that you used 1 tool. I'm so doing this in about 10 min. 👍
And I'm done. Success. 1st ever faucet install. 1 tool. Thanks again
Nice that you had a nice clean area to work in.
Step one hundreeeeeed, love your video man, thanks.
Great video. Easy to understand.
Thank you for this video! I just replaced my faucet today with the help of this video.
Glad it helped!
Thank you for the information. Very good video thank you.

Thanks! :)
Thank you for your video it was very helpful
This was entertaining as well as helpful lol thanks!
Thanks, Kimmy! Glad it helped. :)
Great video
Love the 90's vibe😍
Such a great video!!! Thank you!
Thanks. This was extremely helpful
Glad it helped!
THANKS YOU MADE IT SIMPLE FOR ME !!!!!!
No easy, hard only!!!!!with right info.!!!!
you need to get an agent and do these commercial narrations for home depot, lowe's, and any other hardware store. i love this video thank you :)
You where right down to the "I bought wrong length of hose" like lol
Lol! Yep. I could have left that out, but I’m trying to keep it real to show that even an amateur could complete the job.
I really did have to go back and get the right size cus it was shorter piping
Show and Tell this happens alot with many projects. Kudos for keeping it real, that what most of us here are looking for 👍😊
@@ShowandTellVideo and it really helped!
Great video. Informative and funny.
Thanks! :)
Nice & Clean
Thank you so much for this video, it's was very helpful and had me laughing 😂 👍🏽
THANK you for your HELP!!!
No problem, Frank! :)
thank you so much for the info.
Iam terriable on instructions but watching you in how to do it was so simple and pretty relaxing I got this never before have I replace an facuet before I was going to get an plumber which will over price because you don't no no better but thank to you I can do it my self yea
thanks! great video
This was informative and entertain...and Hilarious!😂😄😂😄Thanks!!!!!
Thanks! Looks too easy to someone else do it, and now I believe in myself!
Excellent!! :)
I did it thanks again!!!!💯
Great video.. Thank you
Thanks. On my way back to Lowe's now...LOL.
I laughed so hard when you said helpful tools has some type of cup with a lid 😂😂 that cup is plumbers putty I think or that's what I read it as
Correct! That "cup with a lid" is the plumbers putty that he never used... Yes, he may get water from his faucet, but it wasn't installed properly. Eventually, he will get moisture buildup under the faucet just like his old one had. You can tell by the corrosion. He must have installed the old one, too. Also, he used teflon tape on the threads of a compression fitting. Yep...the internet is full of self-proclaimed experts teaching people the wrong way to do things.
I was looking for this comment! When I first saw my box I was like wth is that!? It would be nice if they labeled it. I just so happened to watch an episode of this old house and they used some and was like o ok let me go get some 🤦🏾♀️. I would have never known bc they don't label it in the box or instructions.
Thanks 🙏 very help full
This guy is awesome
I like the way you say the steps lol step fiiiiiiive. I really don't wanna change this faucet.
this seems so simple to do thank you for sharing even though it's 2023
You’re welcome 😊
Mine sprung a leak at the same spot, contacted Moen, they sent me a new spout free of charge and the faucet is now like new. 👍
Sir , you’ve just taken ever bit of anxiety I get when my girlfriend adds a “ I can’t wait until we save up for new faucets “ into conversation
Your hilarious and honestly so funny I hope I need your help much more in the future 😂😂🤙
I honestly think I can do this! I won't have to go to the hardware store again though because my "old" sink has only been in for three weeks (it's cheap junk).
A basin wrench is great tool to have for the "long reaches". It works at any angle and makes it a breeze. Will set you back about $12.
