I bought new faucets for our bathroom double vanity. I started disassembling and removing the old ones, but some of the nuts were on WAY too tight for me to remove. So, my hero husband said he'll do it. Well, they sat for 4 days (mind you, totally unusable as I had already taken off some parts...). He didn't know what to do, but wouldn't admit it. Well, I watched your video and had the stinkin' things off myself in less than 10 minutes! The tip with using the screwdriver on the top portion of the drain (to keep it from turning as I worked on the underneath sections) was the part I was missing to finally remove all the old (and disgusting) drain parts. The updated faucets look great now! Thanks!! :)
My husband and I replaced 2 lavatory faucets, supply lines, and drains. Our drains wouldn't come out. We couldn't have done it without your video. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much. I appreciated your very clear and concise directions. I just finished doing all of this ( Lowes flaked on me) it took me a little more than an hour as i was working in a very tight spot. The hardest part for this 60 year old woman was crawling under the sink and getting back up from the ground. Your instructions were so good thankfully i didnt have to get up and down to many times times.
LOL good job girlfriend! I have to admit i laughed so hard when you said you had a hard time getting back up from the ground! I am in my 30's and i too, had a very difficult time getting back up haha
Great video. I just replaced my bathroom faucet yesterday. I never meant to replace the p-trap, but I had to, because I took it apart to make more room to work and it broke from the wall pipe. There are no threads on the wall, so I have no idea what was holding that on. I bought a rubber pipe clamp and replaced the whole thing with PVC. The new faucet came with its own drain pipe anyway. I had to get the caretaker to help. We had to take the sink off to remove the old faucet. The nuts were rusted pretty bad. I like that the new faucet has plastic mounting nuts. I found out that I love PVC. No tools required. It may not be as durable as metal, but it's far easier to work with. Thanks again. I'll remember this if there's a next time.
I literally followed this step by pause, play, step. You are a lifesaver because I really had no idea what I was doing. Thank you so much for walking me through this! Feeling kind of butch right about now!
Awesome Thank you for easy step by step simple instructions. You wouldn't believe how many videos I watched and articles I've read that were, wrong or incomplete.
Yeah, what Marie King just said. The other videos did not go into details and telling us to remember to hold the base of items for over tightening and cracking. You also replaced the drain part and had a hard time and showed what tools you made need to Rent if you do not have them, and will need them. Im a female at 50 and am planning on replacing the faucets for easier ones to use in my rental. I need the faucets to come farther out into the sink bed so I do not keep ramming my fingers and nails up against the back of the sink tub when thoroughly washing my hands. It hurts and i am over it. Thank you very much for this. I am sure I can now do it with great confidence.
I'm replacing three faucets tomorrow and your video really helped me. I feel confident enough that I can replace faucets without calling a plumber. You got a thumbs up from me!! Great video!! Thanks
Very nice descriptions...and very nice presentation. I have the exact faucet and my lift-off for the drain stopper also snapped right off. I rent an apartment and it looks like it's been 28 years since this was installed. I spent hours cleaning the extreme green copper and extreme mountain of lime inside the faucet. Now it looks like new. Thanks for the great video, it was my guide for re-assembly. Now, on to the stuck cartridge. :(
Thank you for this video. I will be replacing my faucet and drain later this afternoon. This will be my first experience with plumbing work and this walk through answered a lot of my questions!
I was able to replace the bathroom faucet and drain very easily. There were a few challenges, such as replacing the compression valve with a quarter turn valve which I was unable to do because the compression valve was welded to the water line. However, I am very pleased with my ability to swap out the faucet and drain. Once again, many many thanks.
+Alpheus Robinson, Jr. Thanks for reporting back. If your supply valve is sweated onto copper pipe you could possibly cut it off and install a compression type valve. This would only work if you have enough exposed copper pipe to work with.
Very well done and complete, the only thing that you could add is a comment that after shutting down the water, open the facet to drain any remaining water on the faucet.
@@Iscaper Working on plumbing is never easy, Cary, and I think one of the most difficult things about it is being in close quarters while working under a sink and if course having an occasional leak too.
you my friend are awesome ! Thank you for teaching I. such a clear and easy to follow manor. This was my first plumbing project of any kind, and I was successful thanks to you.
Hello! Thanks for the detailed tutorial. The only bump I've had so far is that the Tailpiece under the sink that connects to the drain is made of metal, not plastic. I had no trouble at all loosening the copper nut under the sink but once it's loose and the drain gasket is loose I'm stuck. Cant figure out how to separate the top from the bottom. Help. Gina
Great detailed description of how to replace a faucet. I'm less apprehensive about replacing one for my mother now. I noticed your faucet had a foam piece under it that sits between the faucet and the sink. Mine is plastic. Any suggestions on how to seal it properly so water doesn't get under it?
Jeanine Holmes The gasket should keep moisture from getting under the faucet base but if you're worried about moisture you could take some plumbers putty and place a string of it around the edge of the base, then clean off the excess.
my current faucet looks pretty identical to the one you took out. is the process the same if i want to change it to a centerset faucet with dual handles?
Was having a look at a friends super old faucet handles from the 70's and they seemed to be attached to the copper pipes like one giant piece. Was attempting to replace them because one just kept turning. Is this a do it your self or should my friend just call a plumber. Cheers.
+Mabbio You could cut the copper pipes to remove the old faucet, then use flex lines with the new one. If the old faucet doesn't have shut off valves on the supply lines you may have to shut off the water for the whole house until you get the valves installed. If the project seems overwhelming it might be a good idea to call a plumber.
I am replacing (what looks to be) the identical faucet. I've taken a class, watched TH-cam videos and read all the instructions and I'm completely stuck at one of the first steps...I can't seem to get the water to turn off. The left valve closes easily but the right one is hard to move, and, if I try to turn it to the right, the water squirts out from the valve. Anyone out there have a solution for me? I videoed the problem and am hoping that someone at Home Depot can figure out why it's leaking but I thought I'd ask here first. Would appreciate any help!!!
+powersirishtwin You'll probably have to replace the supply valve to the faucet at some point. Here's a link to one of my videos that cover that: th-cam.com/video/6elP6Xj_NAo/w-d-xo.html. You could do that first then replace the faucet, or you could turn off the main water supply to your house and just replace the faucet. The problem here is that all your water would be turned off in the house until the faucet is replaced. If it were me I would replace the supply valve then the faucet.
I'm sitting here all dirty from the crap that accumulated over the years in the drain, while replacing the faucet went to YT to see the correct order of rubber seals, because my faucet came with some weird foamy ones, and am wondering... are all those views from people doing the same? :D

Thanks for the info. I agree with you that PVC was a great innovation.
This is the greatest bathroom faucet replacement video of all time. You should win some kind of award.

Or over complicated.
Thanks to your video I was able to replace my faucet and drain drop all by myself. Much appreciated!!

Thanks for the great information!
Thanks Angela for the feedback.
good video. what is driving me crazy is when the pipe joints leak.
the 4 p tube pipe connections. also the brass nut and washer above it when screwed into the stopper leaks. tough. I'll try white plumber tape
Hello! Thanks for the detailed tutorial. The only bump I've had so far is that the Tailpiece under the sink that connects to the drain is made of metal, not plastic. I had no trouble at all loosening the copper nut under the sink but once it's loose and the drain gasket is loose I'm stuck. Cant figure out how to separate the top from the bottom. Help. Gina
Great video, question, it seems I'll need a mechanical saw to loosen the bolt as well 3:50. What type of mechanical saw did you use?
If I remember right I used an angle grinder with an 1/8" wide cutting disc.
Put the supply line to the faucet prior to installing it onto the sink.
Very helpful! Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!

can i replace it with a 2 knob faucet like the original one u took instead of one i got the same one u took but its leakin
my current faucet looks pretty identical to the one you took out. is the process the same if i want to change it to a centerset faucet with dual handles?
+Melissa Girard
Yes, but be sure the spread (where the fittings go through the sink) on the new faucet is the same.
Was having a look at a friends super old faucet handles from the 70's and they seemed to be attached to the copper pipes like one giant piece. Was attempting to replace them because one just kept turning. Is this a do it your self or should my friend just call a plumber. Cheers.

+iScaper1 We might give it a go. Thanks for that.
How do I connect copper line to valve?
You want to run a flex line from the supply stop to the faucet connection.
Great video thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the help!

Thanks Rhonda.
is there a overflow or no overflow option for drain?
Yes, you can buy faucet only or faucet with drain.
Thank you.

Were you able to get the leak fixed?
No. I just left the water shut off. I think I need a new j bend
