I'm a putty guy myself. But putty actually degrades plastic. It even says it on the tub. And most faucets will have a tiny note attached saying to use silicone on the tailpiece, if it's plastic.
you can use stain free plumbers putty on stone and acrylic. it comes in the same plastic container and is sold everywhere the oil based stuff is sold. it's called stain free or oil free and that's the stuff you want for all your natural stone and plastic/acrylic sink tub and shower basins.
Silicone = half a**ed fix only use that if u have a crack in the porcelain in a shower drain putty u use everywhere dude never seen it my whole life degrade plastic once. Ever after touching 50 yr old + fixtures. And exactly they make stuff that doesn't stain for other types of applications
Next time you walk by it in store I would grab it, I bought one and it changed my experience when doing faucets.....there's even a spot for turning those oval shut off handles instead of crushing them with channel locks
@@Gmac.556 in my defense I didn't have the tool yet and the edges of those shutoffs are ribbed so it wouldn't have been noticed.......at least till it went from oval to tortilla shaped🙄😅
It’s a good time to replace the water shut off valves if they are as old as the faucet. I upgraded to a 1/4 turn vs multi turn because they don’t use gaskets.
Wow plumber who knows what he’s doing , I would recommend tho always upgrade those angle stops to 1/4 turns those gaskets from those multi turns were already deteriorating based on that black water that came out
except you don't put puddy or pipe dope on that pop up assembly and tail piece. in fact, there are holes above the rubber gasket. pause the video and look. No puddy and no pipe dope on these
The putty and dope used in this were not needed. Those pop up assemblies rely on the rubber washer on the bottom for sealing purposes. Because of the overflow on a lav sink the pop ups have openings under the top ring to allow water that has entered the overflow to drain. Basically all you have done is shorten the life of that new pop up and made it more difficult for the next guy. Good work doc.
You'd cry if you saw the plumbing at my student house haha, the sink doesn't line up with the pipe in the wall and there's no connector- just pushed together and pray lol
You don't put plumbers putty and pipe dope on this faucet. In fact, there are holes on the side of the tail piece above the rubber gasket. You're making a mess for the next guy and doing it wrong. Respectful critique.
It’s not a tailpiece. That’s a pop up assembly. The tailpiece is the part on a brass pop up assembly (one not bought at Home Depot) that screws into the pop up assembly
Small tip:. Use a 2 gallon bucket under the sink and connect the supply lines and flush them prior to connecting. Especially with today's seemingly standard 3/8" lines, the smallest debris can cause an instant issue🙂 Great vid👍
I just replaced a bathroom faucet and actually *followed the instructions* by flushing the pipes prior to hooking it up. There was a ton of crap that came out of the hot water side. Great tip, brother!
Wasn't necessary to replace the whole faucet. When a faucet drips like that when handles are turned off, all it needs is a new cartridge. Very easy to replace and less expensive.
Quick question. Where can I get a faucet fixture for an older walk-in tub? The valve stems are 7 inches apart. It's an outlaw size and I've been to every hardware store, big and small, and every plumbing supply in my area and they have NOTHING that fits. The only one I saw awhile ago was on eBay but none since. Missed that one. I believe this type of fixture is called a "deck mount" type. Can't even tell you what brand tub it is as there are no identifying markings on it. Any suggestions?
What's really crazy is the 2 cent o ring that's responsible for that leak is a super easy fix just need alan keys and a small pick normally and then u don't have to do anything extra kit turn water off first
If the shut off valves are failed, which you don't know until after you disconnect the water lines, what's your immediate course of action? You can't reconnect the water lines- my guess if you'd shutoff the house then replace the valve, turn the house back on to check for success, then proceed?
Bro you kill the valves and turn on the sink and make sure no more water comes out and let the pressure off before you disconnect anything. Then if it the old style valves(not 1/4 turn) you can usually loosen the packing and and that will let you turn the valve some more. If they are quarter turn and say someone turned them the wrong way then maybe you can find a sweet spot. But if not kill the house and change them out 😢
Oh nice! Shutoffs right under the sink. Yes people you can pay your plumber to install such things since it is unlikely they are there as original equipment.
The maintenance (🙄) man at my apt changed out my bathroom faucet. But I told him there was a hole in faucet behind it and it was leaking all over the sides. So, he's tells me it is supposed to do that. I said no. I suggested to caulk around the sink. So dig this... He gets the caulking gun puts some on his finger and smears it ALL over the faucet. I took pictures of it and sent it to the manager. And ask if this was professional? Anyway they went out and bought me a new one like the one you have. My question is before he put the faucet on was he supposed to put some kind of rubber seal on the sink and then put the faucet on top.? Because water is still accumulating around the sides I'm sorry this is long but this guy acts like he hates his job, calls mold dirt, and told me that the reason why there was black(mold) around the air vents was because the " inside of the AC was black. The filter was black 😂😂😂😂 anyway I hate to be a Karen but now he's telling me that the black stuff that's on the AC vents is dirt🙄I'm sending more pictures and to manager. I guess he thinks I'm just some dumb hick 🌷🇨🇱🇺🇲 well... I'm not! Thanks
plumber here, its because of the gaskets used in the old inferior style shut off valves. tell me you dont know anything about plumbing without telling me you down know anything about plumbing.
You made this look easy. Why did you also change the tail pipe? Was it necessary? Or was that just a personal decision? I'm planning on changing my faucet but I don't want to change anything else unless it's necessary.
Most new faucets come with a tailpiece to match! If your tailpiece is in good shape and matches the color of your faucet, you can decide to leave it in if you want.
Hate this throw away society... that faucet could have been such an easy fix new seat and bam probably less than 5 bucks probably Pick up a bunch on sell and have a lifetime of repairs
I'm a putty guy myself. But putty actually degrades plastic. It even says it on the tub. And most faucets will have a tiny note attached saying to use silicone on the tailpiece, if it's plastic.
100% silicon is 100% the way to go. Putty is super old school lol
Yeah I’m gonna have to make the switch to silicone. I learned from old school plumbers, never had issues with putty, but will make the change.

That rigid tool will LITERALLY save you
Where can you buy this tool?
@@lorlukas1369Home Depot carries it
💯
Damn…. I didnt know changing a sink was this easy. Time to start remodeling.⚒️
Awesome. Been wanting to do this was just too lazy to search a diy up. Absolutely doing this🔥
Glad I could help!
I've been debating on one of them Ridgid tools. Some them on sale at Home Depot for like $20 a couple weeks ago. Should've just picked it up.

It’s great man,the end has a hole on it to use with a ratchet if your not in a position to crack stuff loose
Never thought to cut the micro bore copper with tin snips what a good idea I’ll definitely be using that one thanks mate!
It was neat that he cut the copper.
But y not just bend if it's in the ways
you legit made The “force” look real 😂
It’s a good time to replace the water shut off valves if they are as old as the faucet. I upgraded to a 1/4 turn vs multi turn because they don’t use gaskets.
Thanks!!! Will do it tomorrow, when the basin wrench arrives...=)
What’s the name of that ridged tool what’s it called
I was looking for this answer too
It’s a basin tool. Made by many different brands
Faucet Wrench it also comes with a drain wrench
I mean if you wanted to install a new faucet that’s cool but chances you could’ve just replaced the cartridge, would’ve been easier and less costly.
Wow plumber who knows what he’s doing , I would recommend tho always upgrade those angle stops to 1/4 turns those gaskets from those multi turns were already deteriorating based on that black water that came out
My thoughts as well 👍

That's not true at all in fact most companies want you to use silicone on the top flange
Exactly. He probably learned on a kitchen drain and thinks they're all the same
Yeah this video was awesome 😂. Very quick and to the point.
You'd cry if you saw the plumbing at my student house haha, the sink doesn't line up with the pipe in the wall and there's no connector- just pushed together and pray lol
Thank you! 😁 where to buy that tool?
You kind of remind me of Ron Howard aka Opie Taylor, nice job on the demonstration of putting in a new faucet !!! 👍😊
We’ll done my guy!
A new cartridge for the faucet would of fixed the leak
It's easier to install your risers to the Faucet before installing😮
You can’t install the nut that sets the faucet to the sink if you put the supply lines on first
tail piece? you mean pop-up assembly?
You don't put plumbers putty and pipe dope on this faucet. In fact, there are holes on the side of the tail piece above the rubber gasket. You're making a mess for the next guy and doing it wrong. Respectful critique.
*pop up assembly. there are holes between the pop up and the rubber gasket, the pipe dope and puddy is useless
It’s not a tailpiece. That’s a pop up assembly. The tailpiece is the part on a brass pop up assembly (one not bought at Home Depot) that screws into the pop up assembly
How do you feel about the Delta refurbished line?
Small tip:. Use a 2 gallon bucket under the sink and connect the supply lines and flush them prior to connecting.
Especially with today's seemingly standard 3/8" lines, the smallest debris can cause an instant issue🙂 Great vid👍
Never seen an old line that wasn’t also 3/8” so not sure what the “seemingly standard” comment refers to. Genuinely curious
I doubt he has rust with copper
I just replaced a bathroom faucet and actually *followed the instructions* by flushing the pipes prior to hooking it up. There was a ton of crap that came out of the hot water side. Great tip, brother!
I coulda used that red tool for my faucet replacement a few days ago. Wow!

Yeah 👍cool
Gotta love those delta foundations faucets.
Bleed out then shut offs before connecting to faucet
Thank you❤
Good shit dave..👍🏼
Did all that and didn't change the stops... black water means those are about to go.
Wait, where's all the cement and resin on the pipes and connectors that is meant to turn that 5 minute job into 2 hours?
U rock.

I know that, also have videos on it. They specifically wanted new faucets
What did you use to seal the gap?
If the shut off valves are failed, which you don't know until after you disconnect the water lines, what's your immediate course of action? You can't reconnect the water lines- my guess if you'd shutoff the house then replace the valve, turn the house back on to check for success, then proceed?

The Animal Crossing music is oddly appropriate
Do you put sealant under the new faucet?
thats the same faucet in everyones one friends bathroom
Nice, am a Diy snr citizen and l hve a facebasin faucet to change. Will save yr video.
What’s the name of that tool you used to grab the locknut ?
Same question
Ridgid EZ Change Faucet Tool
I can't find any videos showing how to replace this type of sink. The one I'm working on has tabs to hold it on but it's loose. What am i doing wrong?
Any idea why my sinks hot side won’t produce hot water? It also stops up and I’ve taken it apart numerous times.
What size is are the connections? Our standard flexi hose conns here in UK are 1/2" those look like 3/8"?
Yes 3/8"
Where can I get the wrench you used to the body nuts?
It’s in my linktree. It’s on my profile on here also on my Instagram, TikTok, etc
It's at Home Depot
Mine is about a quarter inch too short to connect. Back to Lowe’s I go
You from Philly?
Did I just learn how to do this???
Oh nice! Shutoffs right under the sink. Yes people you can pay your plumber to install such things since it is unlikely they are there as original equipment.
What if your faucet cartridges have a lifetime warranty?

To confusing so I need to cut the pipes? What tool
Could have used this video a week ago.
Sorry I’m late 😅
Paid a guy? Or replaced the whole valve like I did cause these copper water lines!
Lol dude almost clogged the new faucet
plumber here, its because of the gaskets used in the old inferior style shut off valves. tell me you dont know anything about plumbing without telling me you down know anything about plumbing.
i wouldn’t have doped that gasket on the pop up, it’ll eat away at it and leak quicker
Why change to one that have hot and cold and not mix?
They are more expensive to repair if you can get them apart
and very 1980s looking
2 handles are less maintenance
In my opinion
Just change the cartridge
They needed to go. Worse problems would come in the future.
