    What truly separates this video from so many other tutorial videos, is your attention to the small details that would trip someone up when doing this project. The nut on the drain with the dishwasher tube is a great example. People would have been unsure of what to do if you had not taken the time to explain that the plastic one replaces the metal one and that's okay. First time seeing one of your videos, but I'm subscribing and seeing what else you demonstrate. Thank you!

This was the most useful and informative video I think I have ever watched on TH-cam. I wish more of you guys would watch this video and learn how to do this. No Ads. No pitching your stupid channel. Just a ton of useful information. My favorite part was the spanish translation running across the bottom. I've been studying Spanish for a while now and I want to come back to this video just to learn all of the terms in Spanish. Seriously! Great video man!!!!

  • @walterbordett2023
    @walterbordett2023 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Jeff, Very clear explanation with good close up videos. This will help a lot of weekend warriors solve their issues. That big strainer nut wrench is awesome. I have always gotten by with my 16 inch Channelock pliers. But next time I see one on sale or at a yard sale I will snarf it up.
    The comment about the pipe joint comment on the threads helps with metal nuts and tailpieces, and especially with threaded tailpieces that go onto bathroom drains where the tailpiece threads into the popup assembly. On the others, the pipe compound is lubrication making assembly easier.
    If you go to plumbing supply houses to buy your sink strainer you can get them with real brass nuts instead of the pot metal cast nuts. The brass nuts hold up much better over time especially if something loosens up and there is a small leak that causes corrosion.
    One other point, do not overtighten plastic drain nuts. If they don't seal when firmly hand tightened, replace the washers and check the alignment of the parts.
    Keep the great information coming!

    I spent too much time worrying about a sink drain wrench, when I should have paid more attention to the pvc pipes instead. Probably could have saved some money, used fewer pipes and less labor. Buy plenty of pipe and fittings- you can always take back what you dont need, which is less frustrating than not having what you need up front. I ended out making 3 cuts on different pipes with regular hand saw. Its all together now, and I'm much more knowledgable- thanks Jeff!

  • @moomerchant
    @moomerchant ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you for this video. I recently had a new stainless steel sink installed. The drains on both sides leaked, so I watched this video and decided to redo them myself. Not only had the installer not scraped off the excess putty underneath before threading the nut on, but he had also not used the friction washer. After I reinstalled them the proper way, neither side leaks. Just goes to show if you want something done right, do it yourself.

Before you start, use a moving blanket or something similar as a platform to lie on. You could also use seat cushions, pillows, etc. The idea is to make them level with the bottom of the cabinet floor so you are lying down flat and not arching your back excessively.

    • @JengerbombOfficial
      @JengerbombOfficial ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@jeffostroff Yes that would be a great idea. I installed a double sink last night. A few days ago, I fixed the drains to the sink and made 2 piles of boxes. One to throw away and the other to keep instruction manuals and 1 of any duplicate boxes I had just in case I missed something. Well last night i took the drain apart and looked at the washer assuming it might be paper there to prevent the rubber from scratching or getting damaged, a protective layer. Right when I thought about tossing it, I looked for instructions & realized I threw both boxes away with the wrong pile. Something said look on TH-cam before I toss it. If I would have thrown them in the trash for my double sink I would have had double trouble. Your attention to detail is great. For this to be 10 years ago reminded me of what I say about not counting out informational things just because it's got some years on it. Sometimes integrity gets lost with modern info. Really have to weed through & thats what I did. I came across a couple videos from this year and a few years back and they don't even come close to the way you broke this down. When i got to your video I watched it twice and shared it with someone. Very neat, very clean, very detailed. Again, thank you SO much. My sink looks amazing! I won't attempt to throw away small paper again before reading what it's for first lol. Have a happy new year!

Your video is the only 1 that said and/or said anything about the friction piece so until now never knew what i was doing wrong but how would I know if I never seen it before had no idea i was missing a very integral role player and that i was missing parts im 100 percent this time will be the last time i have to fake this part of the job. Thanks for not leaving that friction piece out i would never had known what i was doing wrong even though I did exactly what I saw in every video aside from yours totally awesome

    Every time I tighten the drainpipe with the high hat washer in place it, the plastic nut "skips" & loosens. I have tried several times to line up the plastic nut onto the threads exactly & the plastic nut keeps skipping & loosens. BUT when I remove the high hat washer, the nut tightens well. Any reason why this connection leaks with the high hat in place?? I only tighten by hand as much as I can.

    Thank you so much for all the time you put into this, all the explanations, and all the information. My wife noticed that the slip nut under our sink is corroded, and I need to make a repair. The information you've provided here is very helpful, thank you!

    I changed the drain last year in the kitchen but reused the copper pipes with compression fittings. I used plumbers putty under the top flange of the drain. Great. Video Jeff.

    My comment is for anyone who is super tight on money or who takes drain apart and realizes the stores close early on Sunday (me yesterday evening). My drain and the black gasket were still in good shape. The plumbers putty was disintegrated and there was no cardboard gasket to keep the black gasket in place. I figured out that silicone sealant works in place of plumbers putty. I traced the black rubber gasket on a cereal box cardboard and cut it out with an exacto knife to make a cardboard gasket. It worked great. The cereal box gasket kept the black gasket in place while tightening the drain up. Tested it this morning after letting the silicone sit for 12 hours. The drain works great, no leaks!

    Excellent and detailed tutorial. I would point out that the edges of the High Hat gasket can impede the flow of wastewater and trap food. An alternative is a brass tailpipe with a gasket below the shoulder of the pipe, this is compressed by the bottom nut. It provides a waterproof seal and provides full flow of waster water as well.

    butter than to let him do it leaked like a drunken sailor i bearly manage to do a sink of dishes never again.... thank you for your time and help I appreciate you

  • @JonathanGrandt
    @JonathanGrandt 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This was extremely helpful. Especially the part about finding the threads by going counterclockwise till it clicks. Man… that’s seriously gold. There was a leak under the sink at the house we just moved into, I saw that whoever installed it didn’t remove the excess putty from underneath. It definitely caused problems.

    • @jeffostroff
      @jeffostroff  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes and as it turns out we really don't need to use the putty down there because it is the Teflon tape that actually solves the problem period so once you do that you can experiment with not putting the putty under there and I bet you won't have a leak.
