Had to pipe up about metal-on-metal threads and using Teflon tape. If it has ANY o-rings, gaskets, or other sealing surfaces (like JIC or SAE), do NOT use sealant or tape. Sealant and tape are strictly for pipe threads because they have almost no sealing surface. There are exceptions to that in hydraulics. If you combine sealing methods you are pretty likely to have a leak eventually because it interferes with the sealing method. Kind of like never using Teflon tape on a garden hose. They have rubber washers to seal them.
Besides the no teflon tape needed on those threads, Straight stop valves should have been used instead of angle valves. I also would have soldered the valves instead of using compression. Also a smaller holesaw cut on the cabinet for the drain.
Straight valves for more direct flow and pressure? Angle valve would slow flow and pressure? I had similar situation with hose bib in yard. Straight one has lots of force of water coming out. Angle slows down water. But for rinsing stuff or hands it’s too much pressure.
I love this channel, I really wish it was around when I was younger. Thank you for thinking of everyone who grew up without someone to show us all of this across all your videos.
I turned 50 the other day, i found this channel the other day, i'm in the UK and I wish , I really wish I had this info in the late 80's early 90's , fine work my friend. Fine work. Bravo !
Thank you, I was actually thinking about hiring someone to switch out my faucet that broke. Looking at your video, it’s easier than I thought it would be
I'm new here, I'm a 32 year old woman. My dad was not supportive of me, I see your videos feature stuff you would teach your son. If you have any knowledge of guiding a daughter through life, especially in the love life region, that would not only warm my heart and soul, it would help me in my life. Also love the idea of handy man teaching around the house and car. Plus please keep my people in Ukraine in your prayers as my city Kiev is one of many hardest hit locations))) Thank you and God bless you and all of your subscribers including me, the new girl. Your channel was featured in a short called "Wholesome facts that will make your day a little better" take care to all
Hi Dad. Its nice to call someone a Dad. We lost our father in 2019 and just watching you makes me happy and somehow soothes my mind. Dealing some mental health issues due to stress. Anyhow, if you happen to read my comment, just want to let you know. Someone from the Philippines is rooting the best for you. Also, can you post a video about installing a bidet or how to change door knobs. Your explanations are way better.
i had to say i had my dad but no mom i can appreciate what you do in this channel my dad was there but also a over the road trucker to support me so i even learn stuff he never had time for this is awesome
I’m sooooo happy I found your channel!! Thank you for making the process so easy and clear to understand! I have a brand new kitchen faucet that’s been sitting in the box for almost 8 months bc my handyman isn’t in good health and I was totally freaked about doing this by myself. God bless you and yours!!
hi dad! plumber here, you dont need the Teflon tape on the shutoff for the faucet. theres already a washer on the supply lines. ive never had a leak from a properly tightened supply line on the faucet
I’m currently recovering from a long term hidden water leak from my fridge water line and the plumber told me that the Teflon tape I used is what caused the pressure fitting from the nylon fridge water line to the copper fridge line to fail and slowly leak.
Like so many other comments on this channel, I also grew up without a dad, and this channel is not only informative, it makes my heart swell with gratitude for you doing this for so many people to benefit from!
I have been watching you for along time on and off and I always tear up watching you I just turned 18 on the 10th and my dad passed away on the 28th he was 53 we were best friends and had a close relationship even tho we didn't live close he was a really cool and funny guy and was the king of jokes and dad jokes he enjoyed making people laugh through his Facebook posts it has been really hard for me lately and I'm glad there's people like you who care
I've had a brand new faucet sitting in my garage for over a year now because I was too afraid to do it myself lol. Looks like I know what I'll be doing next weekend after work 😄
Wow I can say I absolutely l love this channel.. wow just wow I did not have my dad growing up to show me “how do I” kind of things.. now grown I make sure I am there to answer those questions for my kids. Great job..
I just bought a faucet a few weeks ago and I was scared to install it. Although I have a great Dad we live far apart, so your channel is fantastic and super helpful! Thank you
I recently moved out from my parents home into my first own apartement and your channel helped me with so much stuff already. My parents were never really around, because they worked so much (still love them very much, though). That's why I really appreciate your channel. Thank you!
thank you very much you really are the best person on this planet my dad abandoned me when I was born and for me you are a father you help me learn and now very soon I will be 18 years old
Wow! That must've been a lot of work to film!!! I think it is amazing that I could now change a faucet... I really thought that was something that would be way harder. Also the showing before you do it so we can see, is great. Ty. A week ago I had a heart monitor for 30 days put on... and the woman " Explains " how to work it and change the monitor and the sticky part on your chest etc....she admittedly, has only been doing this part for a week and by time she was done " explaining" we were both confused and she puts the thing on my chest and says " push this button to turn on" its on my chest 🥴 I can't see it now. Lol I said never mind give me the book of instructions and I'll go see if dad how do I, has done a video about it lmaoooo ty for all your hard work and care.
Thanks for this. I have a swivel single stem faucet in my kitchen. A couple of years ago the local water company repaired a main near my house. They didn't flush the lines properly and sediment came through to my faucets. The swivel has since had an annoying squeak. I'll use this video for help replacing the faucet. 👍
Hey dad ! I’m a french girl who discovers your channel on Pinterest ! Thanks you ! Im one of this kids without a dad Im glad there is a channel for helps everyone ! Even if they have a dad ! Sorry for my grammar ! Im not rlly bilingual So just thank you dad !
I don’t usually need help with stuff like this, but I have to subscribe in support of a great idea. Keep doing this for people that need it! Great job brother.
My parents were separated when I was 3. I grew up without my day. And after 15 years later, I met him and he was not what I was expecting, all those years waiting only to be disappointed. After that day I never saw him again, then years later I just found out he died. I'm 28 now but I grew up alone and not knowing what it feels like to have a family. Im subscribing just because
Is this how to install a faucet without sawing the old one in some way😁 Because that is what I end up doing... Grrr! I worked on one for hours, just to find the screws were threaded backwards🙄 How was I supposed to expect that? Every place I move, it's always the impossible faucets😂😂😂 So glad you are doing this😉👍💞
Hola Señor. Realmente es admirable lo que usted hace. Mi papá también me abandono y realmente ví su video en un canal de juegos que nada tenía que ver. Tiene fans que no hablamos inglés pero que ponemos subtítulos para poder apoyar su canal porque es admirable el trasfondo y lo que significa. Dios lo bendiga siempre. Y ponga subtítulos para su comunidad hispana. :3 y hasta me ha hecho llorar porque leí que a usted también lo abandonaron y aquí está dando lo mejor de si mismo. Es admirable. No tengo palabras para decirle lo hermoso que es este canal. Ojalá hubiera más gente como usted.
Hey man really appreciate what your doing my dad is half way across the country so I can ask him about this kinda stuff so it’s really helpful and again thank you
I love this channel!! Can you make a video about jumping your car battery when it dies?? Maybe make a quick announcement at the end of the video for ladies (and gentlemen too) about staying safe when asking strangers for a jump-especially at night. Thanks. Love what you do!
Thank you for the video, Dad! This is motivating me to replace the faucet in my kitchen...well probably the one in the bathroom more urgently lol. I appreciate you! And I've gotta say, you and your family have a beautiful kitchen! Great job on the remodel ❤️
I love this page! It's amazing to find out how simple these things are when I've gone my whole life thinking it was a very complex task that needed a hired professional! Watching this video just blew my mind! "Dad" makes it look so simple! Good job sir! 👏👏
This is perfect timing! Just moved into my new house & the retracting part of the sink is busted. I’ve only had it fall out and splash my pants a few times! Excited to give this a try this weekend! From a single partner adopted kid, thanks Dad!
Dad...how do i adult, like investments, insurance and all that finance stuff... im almost midway through my 20s and i havent got a clue on where to begin!! Anyways, I really appreciate all that youve done! You are truly the hero i never thought i needed (:
Thank you so much for doing all this to us my dad actually left like 5 years ago im 13 years old now and yea much people saying i shoudnt act so sad and yea you doing pretty mich for me
