OMG, this is clearly one of the most concise and professionally delivered set of instructions on how to install the kitchen sink I've ever seen...thank you!!

[@spacesentinels]

BEST Video on this subject that I have seen. You are an outstanding teacher

[@elvira1ish]

Thanks ,without you I couldn't have installed the sink .Clips are killers

[@seantai9371]

Thank you. I finally know how to tighten it 👍

[@glasshalfempty1984]

0:56 watched a couple of videos and you're the first to use plumber's putty instead of silicon so I'm not sure what I should use now. How much does it matter? Would it be fine either way most likely?

[@JohnGlen502]

It's helpful to drill a spot for the clips so they don't turn when you tighten the screws, like he's shown.

[@kellerrobert80]

Great video production. You're one of the few plumbers who recommends sealant or plumber's silicone on the strainer tailpiece gasket. Good idea. Two things: 1) a common rookie mistake is to use a tapered nylon washer at the strainer-tailpiece; you correctly used a "top hat" gasket/washer but a newbee might miss that subtlety. 2) Most other plumbers use a nut that matches the treads for metal-on-metal or plastic-on-plastic connections; you used a plastic nut on the metal threads of the strainer. Seems they would expand-contract at different rates? The dishwasher connection came with the plastic nut pre-installed, which would've made this difficult.

[@allisonnewton990]

Nice detail and talking through all the pieces!

[@el.Papi_USA]

great breakdown bro!!

[@ladykenja2700]

- Very vital instructions for us DIYer's. Thanx 4 sharing.

[@edkay3601]

you are supposed to drill the new countertop out so the clips fit? never heard of that before. you're weakening the countertop. all you need to do is back the clip screws out so they grab the whole countertop.

[@godbyjrotc]

Thanks. Great job describing very little step and why. Exactly what I needed.

[@chavochavo3293]

I have question, our counter top does not have those notches to set the clips underneath, what should I Do?

[@hardwarehenrietta5099]

Thanks for taking the time to make such a clear, and concise video on the kitchen sink install.

[@sydneyadie]

Thanks for video. How do I remove the excess putty that squeezes out on the countertop ?

[@brighterdayjenn8579]

Appreciate, thank you. Going to purchase plumber's puddy instead of using silicone from now on.

[@Samson-EC]

Mounting the sink you use plumbers putty and not caulk? Reason please...

[@robertauld1334]

Thanks was looking how to do those.

[@therealjimvick]

So if your sink isn't set up on saw horses, as in this video, you could cut a hole in the floor and stand on a ladder in the basement.

[@TomM60]

And all the while drop the clips on the basement floor. What a lousy design.

[@lisalamphier1410]

😂😂😂

[@boydmiller8720]

I have a great idea for the mounting bracket company , how about star heads instead of flat heads . Just would be easier when your stuffed under a dark sink . Anybody agree

[@luisbernardez4853]

Beautiful work.

[@kmh997]

I love the way you pronounce faucet! I'm installing a sink with a Hudee ring, would I use plumbers putty around the rim on the sink side only, or both the sink side and the counter side? Or would I use plumbers putty at all, or rather an adhesive product? You made the plumbing seem very uncomplicated so thanks for that!. I just googled but couldn't find the answer; I assume "positive pitch" means a slight downward slope in the direction of the p trap(?), just logic and context. Thanks again for making the plumbing seem less intimidating.

[@PROJECT_936_dot_NET]

Fine exhibition You have inspired me to work on my channel, thanks. 🐼

[@Kaibil66]

great video, very professional done.

[@greenearthblueskies8556]

Clips were driving me crazy....thanks

[@sahmadi1000]

I just came from hardware store. They suggested silicon and not plummer putty. Can you explain the difference.

[@nunyahbeezwax2271]

Great video... thanks

[@tj205bama]

I love hearing him talk and looking at him 🔥

[@richardfabrizio8998]

Great information

[@BagsRivaRaet]

Thanks for sharing

[@ferlujan3822]

Me gustó el video. I liked the vid..

[@DavidMichaelHarveyLLC]

Thanks so much sir!!

[@frankfromupstateny3796]

nice video...

[@timparr246]

The clips are still driving me nuts. You aren't showing fully how the clips attach to the track. Views of your hand as you tighten are a waste.

[@jesusbrito806]

Yo boy a instalar uno pero tendré qué buscar un esperto es muy complicado

[@kelleymeyer816]

We're are the sinkets that hold the sinks in , ? I seen that you use clips in stead..

[@glasshalfempty1984]

4 years and no answer? Damn... You might have found an answer by now but this style of sink exclusively uses the type of clips in the video. There is no other mounting hardware for this type of drop in sink. The sinkets that you're referring to must be mounting hardware for a different style of sink.

[@TomM60]

those clips are what came with our sink.

[@TomM60]

@@glasshalfempty1984 Yes, the sinkets that he's talking about were designed by a real engineer. These clips were designed by a kid or a pygmy.

[@GaryYoung-eq1ph]

Blackwidows, like 2 nest in the clip area be careful if u live where they survive in dark damp areas esp. in s. Nmex.!!

[@GaryYoung-eq1ph]

Most work on table is easiest esp. gots old bad back !!

[@americatorres9351]

Good jab

[@jasonmills6655]

You were using the pump players backwards

[@glasshalfempty1984]

0:56 that absolutely is NOT typical. It's typically silicone. So I'm curious why you chose plumbers putty instead of silicone?

[@davidrupp9233]

This style of clip is the worst fastener I have ever used! How the top part of the screw is supposed to stay in the channel I don't know as the expanded part of the screw that is supposed to be held by the channel is beveled and when tightened a little bit, they just pull out of the channel. Now my Tuscany sink channel may be out of spec, but I certainly prefer my old sink that used actual threaded screws into welded sink metal pieces instead of this very frustrating clip method. Does anyone who designs this stuff actual test it themselves??

[@Speeddemon3]

Excellent video!!!!

[@loneranger5349]

What putty ??????

[@gloriasaldanahernandez4911]

Mark Anthony

[@montereymonster6256]

I do that under the sink tho

[@freednc]

Lol “a spatula”

[@marvellstarks2434]

Skipped the main step on showing us how to insert the clips

[@markcollins5026]

Man, hopefully that old sink is just for demosteration, I would chucked it for a new sink !

[@andydaddy2009]

finally after watching lowes and home depot an actual tool is used and putty which I like. the other places have "magic" and don't show what u do.thanks..

[@bubbahubba5009]

Just a quick tip from a newbie surfing to find the right under mount sink Clio for my kitchen .. please move the camera some to keep you fat fcing fingers from gobbling up the entire scene and ruining what must be seen to learn

[@donji6337]

Cant see shit hes doin

[@khart5453]

Do you guys purposefully leave out the way the clips are mounted into the u-track around the sink? I think you do this in hopes of amateurs giving up and calling a professional…. Haha I found a WOMAN (electrician not plumber) who FINALLY showed how they slide into the track! Your bull didn’t work!!!!
