Hi Jeff. I’m a general contractor with about 2yrs experience and I must say you have inspired a lot of us who are new comers in the industry and helped us learn new skills and techniques to get things done professionally and in a fast and safe manner. Keep up the good work Sir. 😌
Thanks for commenting, I know I say this channel is for homeowners but if I can help guys in the trades with the odd bit of experience, that is very cool as well. Cheers!
very informative and concise! great job presenting information without being longwinded.
Great video , I am wondering if the tub spout needed to be sealed with silicone ?
Great Video. I was just thinking about changing out my tub and shower fixtures yesterday... Thanks for showing this How To video
Our pleasure, we wanted to make sure to cover all the basics so that our viewers can trust coming here for resources.
Hi Jeff. Thank you for the video. I am following your videos to do the bathroom Reno myself. Thanks to your videos I was able to tile the bathtub!! However, I tried to put the faucet back but it is not working. I did not change the previous faucets. When I put them back I see some of the water is coming from the tub faucet and some water is coming from the shower faucet handle. I moved in to the house recently and I don’t remember if this was an existing problem before I took out the faucet. Am I doing something wrong? Could you please help?
Hi Jeff. I’m getting ready to remodel my bathroom. Loving the videos. Is there an issue drilling through the tile and into the Shluter wallboard for hanging the shower fixtures?
great video, thank you. what size allen wrench are you using on the set screw. I'm trying to take an old trim set off and my 1/8 is to small ad 5/32 is to big. Is there a metric one I need?
Hi Jeff! again amazing work. You are giving very helpful tips which homeowners can do easily. Great job Boss. Btw please more videos :)
Hi Jack, great to hear from you again. We have currently 25 videos in production so no worries there.
I am installing a new Delta tub and shower faucet in a remodel project. I am using copper piping and the stub out for the tub spout is copper. The spout that came with the faucet set up has female threads at the front end of the spout. I have to install a 1/2''copper to 1/2 '' pipe male adapter. How do i measure for the length of this stub out before the adapter is soldered on? Or is there some type of easier way to do this ? Will the solder joints be strong enough for this type of installation?
The pipe that comes out of my wall is 3 1/2 inches long do I need to cut it off a bit? If I don't need to cut it what size of a spout do I need?
Great job. I use the blue monster tape, it’s thicker so you don’t have to wrap as many turns and it seals excellent.
Cheers!
Do I need to silicone behind the tub spout?
Always great videos
Hi Great video, How come you didn't put a Teflon tap at the end of the shower arm before putting the shower head on?
Thanks for sharing the videos. Do you also have a video on complete steps needed to remodel a bathroom including re-routing drain pipes and other needed plumping?
in This video series we have covered the complete package for changing out the old tub and installing the new.
Confident I can do this if needed...yay!
Hi could you please make a video on how to install Huntington brass shower kit.its a little different from the kit you're useing and kinda similar to the moen but not quite id love to see the demo thanks.
Hi. What can cause water not coming out in a straight line out the spout ? Slow is ok but water is not coming out straight...
Good one. Happy Holidays.
Cheers my Friend.
Thanks a ton
Our pleasure. Cheers!
I have just started putting my bathroom back together, drywall going up now, thanks for your help via your videos. Trying to figure out what to put up. I am not interested in tiling so am looking for other options, My issue is that its a 1.5 storey house so your standard tub surround is never going to work literally unable to stand up in the tub and I can't seem to find one that doesn't have shelves or patterns. What else can i put up that will be waterproof and easy to clean?
You should be able to purchase acrylic panels that are flat and have no shelves. Then you simply use a sealant caulk in the joints. Cheers!
By any chance do you have a video showing how to install a handheld attachment in a shower that doesn't have one currently?
Hi Jeff! Thanks a lot for your instructions!! i've used already a couple of them.
I've a question: Could you make please a new video instruction (think you don't have it) about how to tile painted walls in the bathroom.
I'm planning do that in the next year.
Thanks dude!
Hi Alexsandr, I am just not sure that is a good idea unless you stay below 4 ft
Hi Jeff-
Really enjoyed your video. Question: what is actually happening inside the tub spout when you pull the lever and the water transfers from the spout to the shower head? When the knob on the spout is pulled up, how does the water get pushed up? Thank you!
Based on the one that I changed in my home (I'm no plumber so if there's variations I wouldn't know), there is a stopper that prevents the water from coming out the faucet. The water, not being able to leave the faucet, flows to the next available path, such is up to and out of the shower head. This is also why, even after the water is off, when you release the lever, water comes out the faucet; that's the water that was sitting in the pipe going up to the shower, draining from gravity.
I use the turn-back method for fitting treads daily. Guess what I use it for? My metal herb containers. DIY videos, man, they teach you something new everyday.
Hi Dee, that is awesome. amazing how easy life gets with some simple cheats!
Hey bro. So long story short. My father is an old school , impatient handy man that uses little to no tools but always gets the job done. Idk what it is with these old folk. Anyway, so I decided to redo my entire kitchen and living room paint. The right way. Your way. And not to knock my father, ive learned a ton from him. I’ve learned how to break shit and not to break shit. I’ve never sanded so much in my entire life. The paint looks awesome and I had your videos on auto play the whole time. Doing this little home projects are fun and the wife loves it. Lol
Glad to be of some help. Renovations are only frustrating when you don't have the right tools and knowledge.
Home RenoVision DIY and common sense. Lol
Why doesn't this need silicone between the plastic sheath and the tile?
Is it recommended to put clear silicone around the trim pieces or is it more of a "You can if you want, but not necessary" type of thing?
it is necessary in many cases unless you satisfy the conditions as stated in the video!
What kind of shower handle type is that is that if anyone knows .... i have the same type of handle system where its a lever on and off but i dnt know the name
At 1:47 sounded like the Rob Ross of plumbing
Hi Jeff. My partner and I are planning a main bathroom reno for next month, and we have had your videos on constant rotation lately. Great stuff!!! Very happy to have discovered your page.
We are in the stage of planning out the details, and have our hearts set on matte black fixtures in the bath/shower (one unit). What are your thoughts on matte black shower/bath fixtures in terms of water and mineral spots? We live in a city where the water is considered hard, and our current chrome fixtures definitely show a lot of water spots. Are matte black fixtures a bad idea in your opinion? Thanks!
hard water shows on everything. I would suggest getting a water softener and eliminate the problem at the source. 30 bucks a month for rental and installation is free. Other than that I love the black. Make sure you buy from a supplier that sells the trim kit separate from the valve body. This way you can buy replacement trim in a different color down the road if design styles change. Just a thought.
notification sqaud!!! im watching UFC fights in Toronto but @HomeRenoVisionDIY takes priority!!!
Thanks Dude, and enjoy the fights!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY bro you take priority ALWAYS!!
Jeff, another great video i desperately need to do my bathroom reno. I have a few questions & i hope you dont mind me mixing other videos around this topic that i watched of yours. So im going from a threaded pipe spout to a slip on like you did. I really thought I had to find a way to lengthen the copper since the new spout was very long compared t the old spout. Glad to see the copper doesnt have to go all the way down into the spout. But is there any reason why you didnt cut the copper much closer to the treading? I felt like it could have been longer and sit farther in the spout, but i dont really know. Second question: Ive seen you change copper to PEX pipe. Right now i have all copper but since i have a 4inch taller tub coming in, id have to lengthen the spout, valve, shower head. While im at it , I just decided its best to just change out the entire valve. So, do you recommend to solder the new valve in or just use the compression connectors with PEX ive seen you use. Id like to know your preference as to which you think will last longer or has less changes of issues. Thanks for reading in advance
I would say that soldering is the easiest and most dependable option.
Hey Jeff. Did sll my ceramic work with your videos grat job. All tub plumbing new and left about 5 for the tub spout. saw this video, cut the pipe at 3 in and too short to grab. not sure to cut back to add extension or go buy a spout with different fixing method.
Seriously wanting to buy a fixer upper and putting your videos to work
Me too!
Did you have to remove tile to get to the back of the shower to install the handle?
Hi Cyrious, we left enough room from the install to get that done. Cheers!
Always perfect tutoring and EXECUTION. I did replace my shower spout but leaks when I lift the diverter.I wrapped teflon tape 4-5 times as instruction but not like your 10 times.Do you think more teflon and treat paste will stop the leakage or any other issue like the length of plain 1/2 " copper pipe like yours etc.Thanks.
Can't hurt to try. Cheers!
sure, give it a try Faruk, like Jeff says it won't hurt anything (works fine lasts a long time)
Have you looked at the diverter's gasket? It may be dirty or defective.
Jeff, I recently converted a bath tub into a bath/shower combo following your videos. I just finished but now when I turn the water on it comes out of both the tub spout and shower. When I pull the diverter up the tub stops and the shower gets stronger. Looking for some advice? All the fixtures are brand new.
Hi Tyler, if you used the pex to the tubspout you will find a back up of pressure can result in the water filling the tub from the shower as well. No worries since that is the goal anyway. In the video that you have asked the question in we plumbed it differently to avoid this problem. always read product instructions as they will inform you of this potential problem with their product.
Home RenoVision DIY thanks for the reply. I didn’t use pex I kept the old copper pipe for the tub spout and used pex for the shower. I’ll go back and check fixtures specs and see if I need to replace that.
Hi Tyler Mercer, I can think of 3 things you can check out! First remove the cartridge for the diverter and give it a rinse in the opposite direction of water flow. You may have some debris stuck in the cartridge or valve body causing the disruption in flow to the tub faucet and that is why it is backing up. Second the tub faucet is a manual operation and it may just be faulty. try installing a new one. if the diverter closure inside the spout is not opening completely it will interfere with the water flow and cause a backup. Third if you did any soldering on the tub spout lines you may have over soldered and caused a solder ball to interfere with the diverter function. The tub spout will not be affected by any plumbing running to the shower head. Cheers , I hope this helps, please let me know what you find.
Home RenoVision DIY Thanks Jeff, I will give those things a try. Hopefully that helps, I really appreciate your help.
Shower valve upside down
How long did it take for you to work your magic? Awesome job my brother from the north. Also RIP Dynamite Kid!!
about 1 hour to finish this stuff off. And you know you are getting old when guys you watched on t.v. as a kid start to expire. so sad.
In an apartment I used to live in I turned on the water and the entire handle shot across the room very violently. I never knew that could happen and used to sit in the tub when I turned the water on, meaning my face would be right in the line of fire!! Luckily I didn't that time. I need to replace this part in my house but have been paranoid ever since that experience - what did they do wrong that caused that to happen? It had been fine before that but one day just blew off...
LOL, that is very funny and yet very serious. If the set screw is coming loose you will notice the fixture start to separate from the wall. double check and tighten it up as needed. And NEVER sit in the tub when you turn it on. Cheers!
Have you done a video showing how to caulk a tub? There are so many videos on it and I’m so confused on how to do it so it won’t look blobbed on
Funny you should mention that. I am releasing that exact video next weekend. Cheers!
How does the tub spout NOT allow water to run down behind the wall and behind the tile/wall?
if it is sealed then you are fine.
what's the mosaic tile called what brand where can i buy it from
I believe the client supplied that tile and it was from The Home Depot. Cheers!
Only 14 mins 😰😫....want longer😉
Happy Holidays, A
Teflon tape and pipe dope, or as my dad would say, "belt and suspenders."
double the protection for double the fun
Some times you never know who you are messing with...so, Yes, double protection 🤣🤣🤣
Tech tip - Should always fill the spout roughing hole before installing spout
HELP THE cheap plastic top spout isnt coming off.. it keeps turning around in both directions and still not coming off the copper pipe...what do i do?
you will need to open the wall and remove the plumbing. it is obviously stripped when it was installed.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY oh that sucks!!!....this is my first attempt at home reno...im going to try sawing the plastic crap off...opening the wall is over my skill level...they did suck crappy work on my moms bathroom.i saw mold so i removed the grout and silicon and opened a can of worms... thanks
YAY for mimi hacksaw!!!!!!i sawed it off without damading the pipe....took me a bit but i got it!!! Feels good..keep up the tutorials...you are helping me sooo much😊
Make sure to tape or cover drain... ask me how I know lol
how do you know?
Good stuff! My tub drain cover thing is broken. I need to use a strainer so that large objects don’t go down into my pipes. What’s an easy way to replace it?
remove the brokjen peice and go to the plumbing store to get a new one.,
First comment on this amazing vidéo
Congrats Dj, thanks for watching. Cheers!
I’m actually with Max right now 😄 keep up the good work guys!
LOL, try not keep out of jail. I am going to bed and not in the mood to post bail again. Cheers!
Amazing how metal like they try to make plastic look, just to avoid making it out of metal!
it comes down to cost, however the important parts of the valve are solid brass.
If you put dope on the female pipe thread the male threads are going to push the dope into the pipe and could cause problems down the road. Tape and dope on the male thread is good enough
Informative video though 👍
I am not concerned about a little dope.
That corner of the plastic showing behind the face plate would drive me insane!!!!!!
Has anyone ever heard of grouting the space between the trim and the wall instead of caulking it? I'm thinking the installer didn't set the valve back far enough and so the tile guy needed to fill up that 1/2" gap and used grout.
You need to have your own tv network show!
we do on TH-cam. We love it here.Cheers!
the tiles looks super uneven..?? whats up with that?
He checked the alignment from left to right and up to down, but not the depth.
