    Thank you so much. It only took a few minutes and you gave me the courage to do it. At the hardware store they told me there was no guarantee if a plumber did not install it and that would have cost a bundle. Empowerment comes through sharing knowledge!

    Probably good idea for people to remember that he's using pink PTFE tape. If you're using the white stuff you need wayyyyyy more tape on the thread as it's thinner than the pink tape.

    Perfect vid. Clear and in focus with appropriate distance of camera to object, simple but all inclusive informative instructions. Oh and straight to the point with no bs like telling us how to open the packet and also what’s inside the packet when obviously we can see that already haha. I mean I’d have got it by myself obviously as it’s just a simple untighten and then tighten but being able to know for sure first helped. Especially the direction to put the tape on as that I did not know 👌
