another great video Tim! thanks. Any tips on learning how to solder copper pipe? I dont learn that till my next semester at school. best,Jeff
It’s here. Search for it with my name.
I appreciated the tip on installing and testing the faucet without the drain pipes installed, so as to make it easier to do the drains later. Hadn’t thought of that as I redo a kitchen. The videos are clear and concise. Keep up the good work!
thanks for the help!
Very clear presentation! Thanks!
thank you Mister =)
Very helpful videos, thanks.
Can I just ask: you had pretty big holes drilled through the counter-top where the pipes feed through – do they need to be that diameter for any reason (insulation or something?) or could they be closer to the actual pipe diameters? Thanks
Those are pretty standard hole diameters for faucets in granite tops. You don’t want the holes exact for a host of reasons. The trim plates on the faucets are very forgiving. The holes are not as big as you might think. Perhaps just 3/8 inch bigger than the faucet pipe.
Ah OK, many thanks.
You’re a good man
are builders also plumbers in America, because in Australia they are 2 different trades
You can be one in the same here. It just so happens that when I was still actively building, I was a licensed master plumber here. Since I retired from active day-to-day building, I’ve not paid my fees to keep my plumbing license active. But I still retain all the knowledge. Well, until my mind starts to deteriorate.
thank you Sir Tim!!! very informative and helpful tips!!!God bless you!!!
your video was very interesting.i just bought a house my i hate the faucet .. and i was gonna see if my husband could do it .i am sure your video will help.thank you for taking the time to do this
Great, gave me the confidence to finish the stupid install off. I was mentally constipated on weather Teflon tape should be used at the flex hose connections and you answered it here so thanks.
Just changed my hair color, if you don’t mind…. I’ll bet the ladies love your compliments.
i installed a one handle faucet in my kitchen but spout jumps up and down when cold or hot water is turned on, almost like it has air in it. whats wrong???
If you have a veggie spray, sometimes air in that hose causes this. Turn on the veggies spray and get all the air out of that line.
it does stop when i use the veggie spray but starts jumping again as soon as i stop using spray. helppppp!
Call the Mfr hotline then…… See what they say.
are there different sized plumbing wrenches? Mine seems to big for the space I’m trying to use it in?
Yes. Are you using a basin wrench as I show in the video? If not, no wonder you’re flailing about.
Thank you so much for posting this video. You’re concise and informative video gave me the confidence to finally replace our kitchen faucet successfully. My wife is ecstatic and i’ve managed to look like ‘a real man’ by being able to do this without flooding the kitchen. You are a saint for posting this video, seriously.
Woo Hoo!!! Congrats to you! You should be very proud, as it can be a daunting task. Just tell all you know about these videos and my AsktheBuilder website.
i do have this one tool that works perfect woth those plastic nuts. Its a bar that had different knoches on each end of it. I think rigid make it, but its the best 20 bucks ive ever spent. its another version of the basin wrench
