Great instructional video. To the point, didn't waste any time on pointless drivel at the start. Love it. Step by step, highlighted potential pitfalls and used correct terminology for various components/tools which are helpful for the DIYers needing to acquire said items. Really useful. Thanks for this. Thumbs up and am now sub'd to your channel.
I like how you taught me how to do this job and you said things that other plumbers didn't point out keep up the good work very scriptures it's the little things that count
Thnx brother
You skipped how to remove the stem covers. That's what I was looking for 😢
The stem covers unscrew
@@GetToThePointplz123 There is a cup shaped cover as another layer over top of the stem. The only part of the stem that sticks out is where the screw goes in, so I can't remove the stem unless the cover is removed also
BEFORE removing the faucet it is best to check whether it is a slip on or it is a screw on
Absolutely do some investigating before dismantling
This show looks just like mine. I was hoping to change out the fixtures myself, and I was with you until you said you had to go around to the back side. I have no idea how to get in there....
I l❤ve when y’all do vids like this it helps out the little ppl like me 🤣🤣🤣 thank you
Awesome
my friend didn’t know how to turn on her aunts shower and she didn’t want to ask for help so i searched this up and it help her.
Nice
Simple..to the point..no doubt you are a professional...thank you...MUCH LUV FROM N.AUGUSTA S.C
Thankyou
Probably a stupid question but does the water main need to be shut off when doing this?
@@SathingtonWilaby yes, for sure
Great video . Very easy to follow and I learned something new today. Thank you
I removed all handles and spout. The new spout went on and no issues. Now the handles, no. I bought what looks like the old handles. Now, the pipe coming out of the wall seems too long? Its the base unit that has the back plate on it. Its not long enough. I got the old corroded ones out and they come with just the vanity ring separate. Guess what they don't fit now either! I'm a 67 yr old grateful women. But, its just me and I don't know what to do. I can't afford a plumber. Can you help me. The pipes coming out of the wall is fine. I don't know what to do.
The only thing I can tell you is take the old parts with you and have someone help you get the right parts
Very clear, my friend. Thanks a million!
I have an old shower, there is not make or model on the spout or any of the knobs. Will any 3 knob bathtub set with stems etc. work on any shower? Or is the pipes in the wall only configured for specific models?
Not a 1 size fits all, probably need to take the old to supply place and have someone match it for you
"They want to save some $" 🤣at the expensive of mold and rot....that's hilarious....would have never taken on the task.
That galvanized spout nipple is not good. Not sure why people use galvanized pipe on water lines. I see soot of general contractors who do that . I get calls all the time because no water flow because of the galvanized pipe.
When I shut the water off do should I flip the breaker for the Hot Water Heater.while I work on the valves?? Thanks for your time GTTP
That's not necessary
THANK YOU!!!
What if you put in new assembly and everything works but the cold water? It isn't the cutoff valve.
Make sure water is on 1st...might have the cold stem in there wrong? Hard to say
I bought the exact same kit as yours. Somehow the two stems on the sides isn't fitting. Everything else fits. I am stumped.
Probably a different faucet?
Failed to tell us how to identify what kit we need. You have to get the right one for your setup.
Best instructions ever 🤙
So many different names on Amazon … how do I know what kind do I have
Great video! What would you say is a fair price range for this kind of replacement job for a plumber to do? I realized prices probably vary by region, but I have two of the same types of tub in my place that are due for replacement.
Lots of variables but $150 plus parts would be a fair guess?
@@GetToThePointplz123 I just had two people quote me $700 and $900 for the job...I told myself I'll check youtube to see if someone has a video showing how it's done...glad you made the video.
@@GetToThePointplz123 that's being generous with that cost. $300 labor minimum or more depend on those rusted spout removal.
How new shower faucet don’t fit old one
The tub water still flows when turning the shower head on. Does it just require a new kit or something with water pressure? Thanks
Probably needs a new diverter
@@GetToThePointplz123 thanks!
So my faucets are plastic and then chrome once I take off the plastic, I’m unable to get that chrome part off??? I turn it counter clock wise & it just stops, could it be stuck?
Hard to advise when I don't know what exactly you're dealing with
Well done. Very well explained Thank you!
Hi. What could cause the shower valve in the middle not to work? I replaced the valve and it still doesn't work.
Hard to say without putting hands on it ?...I would suggest shuffling thru TH-cam or having a plumber look at it
Thanks
How did you shut off the water supply? And where is the valve? Is it possible to shut it off by the water heater?
If there are no shutoff s to isolate the shower you'll have to shut off the whole house . should be by the water meter where it comes into the house
@@GetToThePointplz123 Ok. After I shut it off I have to let the water run until it stops, correct?
Open the lowest faucet in the house and the shower to let air in the lines so it will drain faster
@@GetToThePointplz123 I thank you. You’re doing Gods work. 🙏🏼
What if you just want to change the knobs.
That will make the job a lot easier...They make handle kits for just about every set up, just have to make sure its adaptable to your stems...
When I swapped my hot water one it has made the leak worse. Everytime I close it all back up the knob turns indefinitely and a ton of water pours out. What could be causing this?
Might be the wrong stem? Hard to say without actually looking at it?
I took the original in to Lowes and they helped me find the exact match. Danco for delta.
Do I have to shut off the water to the entire house to cut off the water supply to the bathtub? I know how to shut off water to the toilet, sinks, and outdoor faucets, but not to the bathtub.
Ya if your not sure shut the whole house off to be sure
@@GetToThePointplz123 I think I might be in trouble...The smallest shower valve wrench I can find is 21/32, and whatever brand is on my tub is quite a bit smaller than that. Not having any luck finding one smaller. My guess would be the next size down would be around 19/32, but it doesn't seem to exist.
I need to do this also.. Whats that kit called from homedepot?
There's an Amazon link in the description that shows the kit I used
How much can you expect a plumber to charge to install this for you?
Depends on where your at but I would expect $200-$400 for a plumber
Where’d you get all the replacements(new ones) for the shower? I’m been looking and no luck
I found a kit at home depot
its said in the video...
Good video. It helped a lot.
I have a Glacier Bay faucet set (3 knob). The stems are plastic rather than brass and they go in and lock in place with a quarter turn. The Danco stems I got are brass and thread in to the manifold. What am I missing? DO they make new plastic stems with this quarter turn style connection that I can buy?
Probably have to dig online for those unless you have a great plumbing supply close by
@@GetToThePointplz123 do you know what they are actually called?
@@cpthillbilly ...I don't know, sorry
Is this the same setup as a mobile home?
I have no idea friend, sorry
Thank you for videos
What was the Home Depot kit number?
That Idk sorry
Thanks for your help
I meant to say, great video, though.
Says installing. Just repairing
No way in hell could I do this.
Well im about to try. Wish me luck.
Look
