Lots of comments on here asking about what brand this sink is. At 6:23 of the video, when they are lifting the sink into place, you can see a sticker with the brand name on it. It is a Blanco sink. I’ve looked at their website and I don’t see this sink available anymore. No mention of an integrated gasket on any of their sinks. UPDATE: I just talked to Blanco on February 20, 2023. They advised that ALL of their stainless steel sinks come with an integrated gasket and hold down clips!! So there ya go!!
So cute. Lol! She's now an official plumber's assistant. I want to be a plumber when I grow up. He makes it look way easy. The new stuff is SOOO nice. Never been a better time to upgrade our fixtures!
I disagree. YT should have a method to filter comments from obviously bored losers living in their mom's basement. What does replacing a sink and being productive have to do with playing video games anyway? Why are they here in the first place?
She legitimately looks so excited for the new sink and faucet! that's awesome. Thanks for the detailed vid, I just recently replaced my faucet and this would've been helpful. Will be useful when we replace the sink! Thanks!!
Sir, thank you so much for this detailed video. I installed our new sink with this. I can only imagine what a contractor would’ve charged us. Parts of my install was a challenge, due to such tight quarters and my plumbing inexperience, but I got it done. Also, I replaced the all the piping with a $15 garbage disposal piping kit from Home Depot. It was very easy. Thanks again!
The best part about this video is the trick back pad Richard introduces to great fanfare; the worst part is that he didn't say the name or list it in the tools section. Don't bait us like that, Richard!
If your plumbing is very old often the shutoff valves under the sink can leak and/or not completely stop the flow of water. You can shut off the water main to the house and the feed valve into the hot water heater, then open the lowest (basement) faucet in the house to relieve the pressure. Then disconnect and install new lines onto shutoff valves. You might also want to just replace the shutoff valves under sink as well if they are all cruddy (if they thread onto supply lines, otherwise just leave em alone). Also, don't overtighten the flexible supply line compression fittings-just snug them up. If they leak, you can just tighten them a bit more until they stop leaking.
I had my kitchen remodeled after 14 years. I'm on a well with hard water. Do you think my stupid plumber recommended installing new shut off valves under the sink, when the area was open and new cabinets were being installed? Heck, no! Fast forward 16 years. I'm about to replace the faucet myself and the first order of business will be sweating on new shut offs.
MarzNet256 if I have to replace my shut off valves and they're so cruddy I need to cut the copper pipe, do I need to do anything special besides sand and cut them before putting the new stop valves on? The new ones are sharkbite valves.
and if your main shutoff in the house fails as it did in mine then in the front yard there should be a township/city shut off valve so you can replace everything. Renovations always a fun thing!
For those replacing a garbage disposal: I can never get it connected (video part 10:15) because of the weight, so I use a car jack to lift and hold it in place so I can screw it on. Works like a charm!
I would recommend changing out those old compression water valves with some new, modern and much more reliable ball valves. Guess that's another show. Good job Richard!
I always appreciate these videos, but man nothing and I mean nothing works this smoothly in real life. I fixed a leaky bathroom sink handle yesterday, took me forever, and I had a hardware store run mid-job. Must have said GD and MF a dozen times each! In the end I did get the job done thanks to these videos!
we lived in a duplex where the disposer would back up into the dishwasher. Nothing like running a cycle and then having your stuff come out dirtier than it went in - and with the crap baked on
Nice clean job as always ..... my only dislike was the way the sink was positioned with the on off in the front like that I think looks way better if it were spun to the right ... but I guess different states different looks nice job!!
Man that sink looks brand new compared to the one I have that I'm replacing. My pipes underneath were done by some idiot who didn't know what they were doing so it's going to be a fun time.
Nice video! Good info! I needed help with having to get 32-year-old PVC drain pipes to line up to a new, molded-in, Corian sink, with the drain holes cut in a totally different location. I just hope that the PVC joints are NOT GLUED, like I've seen in other videos from other mid-80s builds! With MY luck, they probably are.
5:16 "So what I want to do is replace this stand pipe completely with chrome plated copper, diamond encrusted pipe at the cost of $120 million dollars." "Ok".
The great payoff for a technologically advanced civilization is that it frees most people up from knowing the underpinnings of said technologically advanced civilization.
This is a how too video How to get the customer to chip in and help. They cut the video a little short what you did not see was the lady homeowner carrying his tools out to the truck. Nice job I learned a lot
"Can you get me a small saw to cut the pipe?:" "Okay" (hands him blue handled saw that barely fits under sink) "Umm...right okay. " Starts awkwardly cutting pipe. I love this show. The old sink looks like it could be repurposed.
To cut pipes close to a wall or other obstruction, use string. Take some string, the same stuff a string line uses, put it around the pipe and "saw" thru it but pulling it back and forth. Sounds crazy but it works great.
A couple of days before I watched this video I told a friend that I have a great idea for an invention. It's a plumbing mattress for old farts. Looks like I'm too late!
looks sooo easy! case in point. tile counter top. tile overhangs cut out for sink. cut out just barely big enough for the new sink. clips are too short because of the tile. faucet hits window sill and can't tighten down.
They didn't show it, but they obviously did that before turning on the water. When she opened the faucet the first time, it flowed like it was never disconnected. If they hadn't run the water already, it would have burped and sputtered until the air was purged.
I love seeing these videos. They give a lot of feedback. I also love the part on 3:18. It gets me thinking what happens after recording. 🤣😂 Just click on the time. Lol

shes so exited about new stuff she made me smile a lot
Good job Richard. I like the way he explained each step. Always nice to have a good helper.
Yeah, it's always nice to have a very attractive woman next to you as well.
@@jamedlock83
Ssshhh I was definitely looking at his beautiful handcraft!
Being an English plumber, it is fascinating hearing and seeing how America plumbers do this sort of stuff
Jude Hubbard could you explain how differently it would be done by Uk standards? Would be interesting to hear
My wife thinks I'm weird for watching these videos.. until she needs me fix everything in the house.
In my house I'm the carpenter, plumer, electrician, gardener, lawn maintenance, mechanic and I think I'm also the husband 😅
LMFAOOOO i love this show
I watch them for the housewives.
what you said is no good

Just clean and debur the end or it will cut the o ring. Just slide it on and make sure it's seated all the way.
and if your main shutoff in the house fails as it did in mine then in the front yard there should be a township/city shut off valve so you can replace everything. Renovations always a fun thing!
Hot water eventually destroys the seals in the shutoff valve.
For those replacing a garbage disposal: I can never get it connected (video part 10:15) because of the weight, so I use a car jack to lift and hold it in place so I can screw it on. Works like a charm!
Kay Oss. Or u could just hold it like a man.

Great show! Great episode! Richard does great work!😁🔧
Yep. Agreed, Billy.👍🏻
Really clear video and audio to accompany the equally clear explanation.
10:07 Pretty sure they just became engaged at that moment.

They usually say it's a souvenir dont they? Lol
I watch these videos because there are so many variations
i want my wife to cheer me on like her!!! instead...¨All finished?¨
" Another home Depot run "
And I, a wife, am actually watching it and wanting to do this. So ner. XD
Always such attractive women on ask TOH
Well, if she is impatient, you can point out that you can finish faster if she cheers you on. Wait...what was the topic again?

Don't forget Richards OK's.

Oh crap, I'm drunk!! lol
Thank you, you have a way of making it so we can understand it and speak clearly so I can hear while I'm working on stuff.
This video is exactly what i was needing to find out bout being careful when lifting out old sink that could damage formica counter top.

did he break a nut? Busting a nut while working on a drain feels good.

@@jameshouston5017 ok
This is the part of plumbing I like the least. (And I have re-piped my own house) Richard is a nice guy
Trim work is an acquired taste.
wow. their piping under the sink is soooo clean. im scared to even look under mine.
If yours isnt, it will not be done properly.
Great job Sr ,the camera film doing great job too.
Great video. Just a suggestion. It would be nice to have a video on building under sink drain system from scratch.
The old man grunts is a nice touch.
Nice clean job as always ..... my only dislike was the way the sink was positioned with the on off in the front like that I think looks way better if it were spun to the right ... but I guess different states different looks nice job!!
Plumbing has become like a rocket science))
6:54 she looks soo good perched on the floor like that
Glad to know how much putty I could be using.
Man that sink looks brand new compared to the one I have that I'm replacing. My pipes underneath were done by some idiot who didn't know what they were doing so it's going to be a fun time.
"Look they make this cool new mat for plumbers"
*proceeds to not use it
I went back and looked, he is using it
It’s a knee pad for plumbers to get blowies😉
7:34
He’s using it are you idiots blind
OK
lol
bodio27 ok
R is a str8 up beast on the install! And super easy to learn from...
At 7:47 the dude in the wedding picture behind the sink, he married a ghost...pretty cool
The man in the photo looks like Richard.
lol u guys dont miss anything!
rofl
Lol
I noticed this too!!! I haven't laughed this hard from YT video ever.

Well the drinking game we are in, we are totally hammered now.
Okokokokokokokokokok
I will just go ahead and take 30 drinks now then

Really enjoy this Master plumbers work and knowledge.
I think it's easier to connect the garbage disposal before dropping in the new sink.
At 7:40 Is that the right size? Sure is!! Do you see alot of putty coming out up there? Sure do it's coming out all over me.
I only watched this because the young woman is so gorgeous. But now I know how to replace a kitchen sink. Win Win.
He's literally my hero (I should probably learn to remember his name)
"Can you get me a small saw to cut the pipe?:"
"Okay" (hands him blue handled saw that barely fits under sink)
"Umm...right okay. " Starts awkwardly cutting pipe.
I love this show. The old sink looks like it could be repurposed.
Richard is making me jealous because I have to do everything under our sink without anything under my back
This is exactly what I was looking for thanks very much
Wire saws for pvc are so much easier! I highly recommend them
10:08 "here's some trash for" OK
Thank you 😄
That lady is adorable.
I would like to buy this sink, can you put a link in your description or provide the manufacture name and model #?
Thank you, very nice video
She's just too cute. What a sweetie.
“This is a very special gasket called a TOP Gasket.” This is highly technical stuff right here

for 10 hrs
Download it, snip it, and duplicate it 20 times in iMovie and repost it. It will be a TH-cam sensation.
Done and done :)
@@SamplersAndThings LOL awesome
New drinking game! Every time she says, "okay".
yesss! but, we would all die due to alcohol poisoning though..............She's really attractive though
"you see that putty squeezing out?"
"Oh yeeeah!"
-phrasing
She's a pro with that putty. Has she done some plumbing before?
Nice Video! When you get all done though - I would run water and check for leaks under the sink for sometimes you have to tighten up fitings.
THAT is what a follow up service call (at $100) is all about.
They didn't show it, but they obviously did that before turning on the water. When she opened the faucet the first time, it flowed like it was never disconnected. If they hadn't run the water already, it would have burped and sputtered until the air was purged.
Excellent video and very informative!

As opposed to "Would you please give me a detailed lecture on just every phase of this job!" zat whatcha want?
Ok
She's got a beautiful kitchen.
7:32 I like when she rolls it in her hands till it turns into a snake then asks if she made it the right size
Get you mind out of the gutter...oh, we are WORKING around a sewer-sorry.
