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!
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!
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?
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!
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
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!
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!!
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
I have got the same sink with new faucet. Was planning changing the sink to stainless steal, the white one just kept getting stains and got tire of that. Thank you for this video, sure is easy to replace.
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
"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.

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.
here hold on to this knock out piece, thank you!
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.
10:08 Richard hands Kristy a piece of dirty plastic "thank you"
Really clear video and audio to accompany the equally clear explanation.
Great show! Great episode! Richard does great work!😁🔧
Yep. Agreed, Billy.👍🏻

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!
MarzNet256 ewwwwwww
He didn't do it right. No trips to the hardware store mid-job.
He’s truck it’s the hardware store.
lol
You mean the Home Center.
usually they have it in the van 😂😂😂
Or yelling cursewords
I watch these videos because there are so many variations
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!
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 video. Just a suggestion. It would be nice to have a video on building under sink drain system from scratch.
Really enjoy this Master plumbers work and knowledge.
He makes it look so easy.
did he break a nut? Busting a nut while working on a drain feels good.
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

" 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?

10:07 Pretty sure they just became engaged at that moment.
😂😂
They usually say it's a souvenir dont they? Lol
R is a str8 up beast on the install! And super easy to learn from...
She really said "thank you" when he handed her the garbage from the disposal
She seems like a real sweat heart!
@@davidg8032 yeah, wonder how she is doing now
Great job Sr ,the camera film doing great job too.
I would like to buy this sink, can you put a link in your description or provide the manufacture name and model #?

Excellent video and very informative!
This is exactly what I was looking for thanks very much
Kristy MADE this video!
I think it's easier to connect the garbage disposal before dropping in the new sink.
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.
Incredibly well explained. Thank you.
Marvelous. You are the best. Thank you. 💜
