A nice step by-step-video! To be on the safe side, I always put a rag at the bottom of the sink bowl so I don't accidentally drop anything down the drain like a screw or part or etc. The rag also protects the sink bowl from any scratches from tools or parts. Keep up the great work!
Great video as always. I have replaced/installed 100's of Moen faucets and I always put that sticker on the inside of the cabinet door and write the install date on it with a sharpie. Makes for much easier identification when you need parts. Just a suggestion. Keep the content coming.
you don't put a sticker on wood. That's are carpenter's nightmare. Do what chris cotton said. Stick it on the sink underside and cover with clear plastic tape if needed
I just installed this very same faucet and you can put that whole bracket to hold the faucet before you place everything in the holes , just get them started you may have to angle them as you put them in the hole , now everything is attached for you to tighten from below, you don't have to struggle putting everything on and then getting the nut to tighten. I thought it was going to be a problem but everything fit from the top of the sink when putting the faucet on. In fact I attached the water hose on the faucet before I put everything through the holes in the sink, you can tighten them better this way
I had the same one, can't find replacement cartridges nor suitable O rings. Started to leak, let it drip. Then another seal failed and it dripped and absorbed into my MDF vanity. Cheap belongs in the trash, Moen all the way. Lifetime investment.
Ben, Are you only working part time for the HVAC business because you're going for your electrician's license now? I remember you said you were thinking about doing that. (PS: I subscribed some time ago.)
The "novice" statement was interesting. In Florida, the addition of thread tape or anti-seize will prevent the dissimilar metals corrosion - gasket or otherwise
If you place the sticker on the cabinet inside wall under a piece of clear plastic, you won't have to go nearly as far as you've made it (behind the bowl)
a great step by step video, but I am afraid you are wrong on one thing, you must and should use thread sealer. professional plumbers use it, the rubber gasket in some case will NOT stop water leakage.
MOEN used to guarantee for life to the original purchaser/owner all replaceable parts or defective parts. The warranty is not as good now. Go to MOEN's site and Read the fine print on what you are buying
"That's how you can tell a novice installed it" ... threading doesn't cost much at all, and I've had situations where the end of a thread had burrs in it and left just enough gap where it would leak 1 drop per hour. This is annoying, so I just thread everything....you can call me a novice all you want, but using a condom when your girl is on the pill is twice the protection, doesn't hurt to be safe. lol

Really good videography in that tight space with great lighting. And a job expertly done!
Great video
Good filming in tight quarters!
Much Obliged- Thanks
Good video buddy 👍 I like the faucet I guess you will keep it besides throwing it out I never saw one like that

Good suggestion! It's always a pain getting the model number off of the sticker when it's way up behind everything.

Excellent tutorial, thank you!
The old faucet is so cool! Why’d you replace it?
Customer didn't like it! I agree with you completely though.
If any air gets in the line, that kind of faucet will spray out at you. Bet that happened and they had enough of it.
@@ManiacalMichael504 True. I've experienced that myself!
yeah I agree, it's very funky, I would have replaced like for like
Hey. How is the mini split doing with heat this winter? I’m in North Indiana and want to know your experience.
Nice replacement even tho the older faucet was nicer ... Lol ...
Haha exactly!
I had the same one, can't find replacement cartridges nor suitable O rings. Started to leak, let it drip. Then another seal failed and it dripped and absorbed into my MDF vanity.
Cheap belongs in the trash, Moen all the way.
Lifetime investment.
Like your videos. Why replace a nicer faucet with a basic one?
New home owners didn't like the waterfall style.

Good video sar
Are you a plumbing heating cooling contractor? Is it a family business? Thank you
Yes. I work part time for my dad's HVAC company now but worked full time for many years.
Nice
Benjamin, will you do videos on solar?
The "novice" statement was interesting. In Florida, the addition of thread tape or anti-seize will prevent the dissimilar metals corrosion - gasket or otherwise
True! I have used thread sealant for this purpose in certain circumstances.
at 11:00 it's a stem seal and you can buy a rebuild kit for those hot/cold shut offs at box stores
What tool bag are you using there, Ben? 12:08
What is that white pipe supply on the hot/cold?.....it isn't cpvc, copper or pex.....??
8:44 thread tape or pipe dope is not a sign of a novice. Its a sign of some one that cares enough to have a back up when the washer fails.
If I didn't use Plumber's Tape, guaranteed when I turn on the water, it would start dripping around the connections. LOL

good tip Chris
Usually the manufacture recommends to take the aerator off and flush the faucet for one minute to clear the system, just saying, thanks for the video.
You spent the full $80 on the Moen adler? Do they ever go on sale?
Yup! I'm sure they go on sale once in awhile but that's pretty normal.

Also, why no silicone or plumber's putty under the gasket?
Really not necessary in my opinion but it never hurts I suppose!
You do need it
Never turn off shutoffs under sink if old, use water main.
Even more important for gas lines
We usually use the valves under the sink and replace them if necessary.
Wish I found this video earlier…
Why did you need to replace the faucet?
Customer didn't like the "waterfall" style.
BEN all shut off valve in the world must be turned in a half turn so the valve does not seize to the body .

Came to say the same thing. Good analogy about the pill lol
Cool product Name. I like to think that the owner is named Sam Moan. And is samoan and a sumo wrestler.
👍👏👏👏😊
Moen is made in China and Amazon sells them.
This is not realistic! Even with the simplest jobs, plumbing makes me use bad words! (In the most Christian manner)
