i could never be as gifted or smart as this guy love watching him build things, im going back and watching them all
Cheers Bud!
Basic human tasks is "gifted" to you? I guess that sums up the world collective IQ...
Were a pipefitter for 44 years and you do not go around a pipe nipple ten times if the Teflon tape is to thick it naturally wants to peel away 3 to 4 times around is more than sufficient you could always add pipe dope if you're really concerned about a leak.
Facts🤣🤣
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Good point on how many wraps of tape to apply to the pipe. It is different depending on the installation.
Thanks for commenting.
Do you have to silicone if it’s grout around the tub ?
Great video. The music .... yeah
Your pushing the escutcheon plate against the wall or the ceiling as I'm doing for a rain shower, How do you make it tight to the wall or ceiling without wobbling or just being loose?
A lot of them are fitted to be tight and not move anyway but you can always dab a tiny amount of caulk/silicone to help keep it in place.
Can water still leak through between the valve body trim piece and the inside circle of the faucet handle plate?
Yes, because he left out the caulking part.
Are you applying silicone over grout in the corners where walls meet? Some say no grout, just silicone. Others use grout only.
I use both. If you have no grout in the corners then you need to over caulk the corner and its gets messy!
Love the music
Thanks Ashley, Max will be happy to hear this.
Ok I put on my hardibacker board and then my tile and my valve doesnt have much room to screw on the plate os that ok?
Is ir needed to seal around the hardware?
Love your videos. Is it me or is the combo valve roughed-in too far forward exposing the brass?
No its not just you. I see it too. He does lousy work.
How would I install the finishing trim for the mixer valve or temperature control on a beveled tile surface?
in most cases you need to silicone the finish. Cheers!
Love your vids
My issue is when wayer is sprayed against that handle and trim with the 2 screws, water just stsrted leaking into my kitchen ceiling below...
I had to remove a piece of ceiling today to see where the leak cones from.
How can i address this? The chrome trim only has a white foam seal in behind it, and its soaked! Also, should there be an o-ring or seal that goes between inner hole on trim and the collar of the faucet?
Any help is appreciated!
Thank you
your handle should have a gasket that stops that problem. I would suggest using clear silicone to seal up the joints.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY
Thanks for the reply!
Im in Kingston, Ont and i drove around to all the box stores,nobody has the Delta trim cover that i need...
Yes you're right, i pulled it apart, and no gasket in behind the handle!
I will try and reassemble it tonight and add some clear silicone to the joint in the middle of the trim.
Thanks and i hope this fixes the issue!
Not fun having to cut open your kitchen ceiling because of an issue like this...
why didn't you caulk the shower head and tub filler plates? (Escutcheon)
no doubt why didnt he?
Waiting for answer here too
Me too, he’s doing it all wrong - that’s what the whole point of this video. Also don’t use power tools to finish tightening.
@@tomatexelon and the use of the screwdriver to tighten the shower arm made me cringe if a person had CPVC piping
Love your videos. How did you mark your hole for the shower escutcheon? Should a temporary pipe be used when installing backer and tile?
I love using the plastic pipe with a gasket not just to help mark but to keep the water from having accidents. Saved my bacon a few times.
Did you upload all the videos to this bathroom renovation series? Don't see the Tub Prep or How Did it turn out? video? By the way love your videos very helpful 👍
The final reveal is on the site as the mothers day surprise.
Sealing Trimble shower system plate
For the life of me I cannot get the screws lined up with the holes for the handle trim. Any suggestions?
love the video. but just a tip. unless you know your impact gun do not use impacts on trim
directed towards viewers
Is it not a practice to silicone around the spout and around the face plate of shower body to prevent water from getting in behind both fixtures?
It depends on the specific trim. Some do, some dont
I didn’t and my shower is leaking into downstairs bathroom. Caulking both today.
@@Enjoythepour did your trim have a foam gasket when you installed it? If it did, it can also be a problem if you don’t tighten the screws enough to compress the gasket to prevent leaks
when you screwed in the plate to the wall, did the screws go through the tile? If so, is there any concern about cracking the tile?
no the screws do not go through the tile. The plate is tightened just enough to crate a good seal to the tile
I know this was asked a long time ago, but in case anyone scrolls through and is confused.... it gets screwed into a piece of the valve that is behind the wall. There are screw holes already in place for these to go into :) Make sure you find the holes before you screw them in.
How come you don’t caulk around the actually fixtures where they meet the tile (faucet, etc?)
On fixtures that have a gasket to seal it is not needed. If you buy cheap fixtures then you will need to silicone the fixture to the tile.
What is your favorite/best brand for silicone caulking? I have had horrible experiences with some brands here in US. Please advice 🙂
Nuflex is my favorite. Cheers!
Home RenoVision DIY thank you!
Do you need to silicone around the fixtures?
In most cases you would silicone the tub spout. I prefer to use a small bead of clear. The face plate usually comes with a gasket that seals from the backside leaving a clean look and no messy silicone.
Don't you silicon around the mixer and other metal shrouds? Water will pour straight behind?
No Silicone necessary Ryan the face plate has a gasket on it. Why would you want your bath to look all crapy with silicone. Only cheap fixtures from the hardware store need silicone.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Wouldn't water sneak between the seal at the grout seam between the tiles or between the face plate and the collar around the valve?
@@OysterPir8 Yes!
@@OysterPir8 yes, you should always use some sealant,even with gaskets. If you take your time and do it right, you can use just enough that it will be basically invisible. Also, if you are using vintage bath hardware, you really have no choice but to use sealant there.
Caulking or silicone ? Which one for the shower ?
definitely silicone not latex. Good question.
This might be a stupid question; But why don't you need to add silicon to seal the showerhead flange and the other trim pieces?
You do.
@@dthorne4602 you don’t, there is a seal/gasket on the back of the fixture plate that seals the water out.
Not a stupid question. You do need to caulk.
What happens if water gets behind the wall plates and into the wall cavity. Why wouldn't you silicone behind the tap wall plate and the shower handle wall plate?
There’s a seal/gasket on the back of the plate that seals the water out. It presses against the tiles as you tighten the screws. Not necessary to add silicone
Disagree. Mine was replaced, but not caulked. Leaked bigtime. Fixing it today with caulk.
Should I caulk around the valve trim and tub spout after installation?
never hurts. Cheers!
That's what I thought the vid was about
Which brand bathtub you recommend from Home Depot ?
at 3:40 he uses bare metal on the threads to tighten the brass nipple. Doesn't that destroy the threads?
Not if you grab 4 threads back. the fixture never closes up that much. Cheers!
Oh snap I didn’t know he had videos that were less that 8 hours 🤦🏿♂️
"That's what she said" 0:35
New tile job, but that mold at the top of the adjacent wall...
Forgot the caulking part.
impact gun on the finished screws, then stripping it out as well..... people stop using impacts for this stuff
How To Install Finishing Trim, Showerhead and Caulking
There's no caulking.
you're skipping a lot of little intricate steps. I noticed you fast-forward when you (hand turned,) (not tightened) the shower head. you didn't show how you got it tight. Did you use a plier? Did you use your hand? We know that you can't use hand pressure because it wouldn't be tight enough. What about the padding on the back of the plate? I could go on. This video tutorial is so incomplete. It's a waste of time. 😔😕😟
when you use Teflon tape the way i do you can hand tighten the shower arm.
Screw driver worked well for me.
