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!!
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?
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!
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!
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.
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!
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!!
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!
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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
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.
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!
"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.
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
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.
I have a tub and the drain stop wasn't working so I went to the store to get another one and well trying to remove it its mount snapped off. But I have no idea what the peace in the tub is called to order a new one. I know they twist out. Whats it called! I tried searching drain cap that got nothing.
Can you please provide the Brand and model of the counter-top kitchen sink with the built-in gasket used? The Amazon link you provided does not go to the exact counter top kitchen sink used in this video. That link only shows an Amazon search result. Thanks.

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!

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.

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
Great video. Just a suggestion. It would be nice to have a video on building under sink drain system from scratch.

Always enjoy Richard’s plumbing segments!
shes so exited about new stuff she made me smile a lot
Really clear video and audio to accompany the equally clear explanation.

Being an English plumber, it is fascinating hearing and seeing how America plumbers do this sort of stuff

She really said "thank you" when he handed her the garbage from the disposal

Glad to know how much putty I could be using.
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.
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.

They usually say it's a souvenir dont they? Lol
He makes it look so easy.
did he break a nut? Busting a nut while working on a drain feels good.

I noticed this too!!! I haven't laughed this hard from YT video ever.
R is a str8 up beast on the install! And super easy to learn from...

What brand of sink was installed? The Amazon link doesn’t work. I would like to know which brand of drop in sink has gasket around it.
I think it's easier to connect the garbage disposal before dropping in the new sink.
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!
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.
Beautiful work I just want to know which brand sink he installed

"Look they make this cool new mat for plumbers"
