Awesome video! It helped me do this in an hour. Last time, I paid a plumber nearly $400 to change it out for me. I felt like the biggest chump in the world. Lol anyway… thanks a lot man!
@@matthowell6391 yeah man! Sorry that happened to you last time, but good job doing it this time! So many things are actually a lot easier than people think they are!!
This model is notorious for leaking from the base. I’ve had a few of these in rental units and they have all done the exact same usually in about a year. Grab a 3/32 allen key. take off handle. remove plastic cap. you will see a hex nut that has come loose. that nut compresses the mixing cartridge down to seal the the water from the inlet lines. just tighten it down and re-assemble. thats it! no more leaking
Thanks, CHodge. Your fix seems to have solved the problem in my almost-4-year-old faucet. Though Moen gives a "lifetime warranty", this problem would have cost them money and me some waiting time.
My wife, Lata Pai just commented and gave you full praise for your video. I just want to add a few comments of my own. For the nut that holds the faucet from the bottom, I used a (closed end) wrench (mine was 5/8 inch) to loosen the nut. I found it hard to loosen it by tapping it with a screw driver (as it is in an awkward position to do so from under the sink). I also like your recommendation to get the Moen brand where all of the water pipes are already installed. The job was very easy. The only awkward part was the removal of the nut that held the faucet to the counter top. Thank you very much for your Video. Suresh Pai
I just read your comment, as well as your wife’s. The purpose of my channel is to help homeowners do these projects on their own, so I am happy I was able to help!!
Thank you so much for this video. You made it look so easy. A plumber was going to charge us $150 for this job. My husband installed it after watching your video..... you saved us a lot of money.. thank you, thank you , so much, once again🙏
I just saw both your comment, as well as your husband’s! Comments like these make me really happy. Th purpose of my channel is to help DIYers. Be safe and thank you for taking the time to comment!!
Thank you so much for making this video! You’ve totally helped me out! I’m actually replacing my own kitchen faucet right now, and I bought the stainless version of this exact same faucet. My plumbing is also wonky underneath so I’ve got extensions and adapters to my water supply too. But that said, this is my first time installing a faucet, and your video was awesome! Thanks again! 🔧👍
That makes me so happy! That is the exact purpose often TH-cam channel! Let me know if you have any questions, or if you have any other video suggestions!!
@@aaronfixesstuff thank you! Will do! And just an update... my faucet is now installed and I love it! I had to go out and buy another adjustable wrench and some Teflon tape, but thanks to your video, I did it all on my own! 🔧
Great video! Thanks Unfortunately this model Brecklyn has some issues. I replaced it twice. First time was with a reliable plumber and after a few months it started leaking at the base. I thought I had a defective faucet. So I exchanged it for a new one, same model. I installed it the second one and again after 3-4 months it started leaking at the base again.
Thanks for the video! I'm looking at the same model, and I was wondering if the handle still seats OK when it sits on the base? If you turn the faucet with your hand, does the handle kinda fall out of place? Had issues with a Pfister model. Thanks again

Brilliant. Followed your demo and voila! I skipped the 'pinching of the cold water line' ;). Great video. Thanks!
@@neilcraig124 ah good job! The pinching of the water line is def not needed 😂
Glad to help though!!
super helpful! i just took out our old faucet and installed this same model without the plate. no leaks and i'm definitely no plumber. thank you!!!
Glad to help and good job!!
Very helpful for a flat-out novice. (2nd timer lol). I wouldn't have been able to install the faucet without this.
Awesome!! That’s the exact goal of my videos. To show people how easy a lot of this is!

Very helpful! Putting in the same model only in chrome. Thanks
Awesome!! Glad to help!!!
You helped me out big time!! Thank you😁
Great video! Thanks

Thanks for the feedback Frank! Hopefully people see this!
Omen was great. I called them and they offered me a replacement product upgrade at no cost and next day delivery`👍
black hex nut under the handles loosen itself which compresses the mixing cartridge. 15 minute fix.
No Teflon tape on threads needed? Waiting for new Moen delivery today.
but what do we do about all the spiders under the sink?
🤣🤣🤣
Appreciate the video but could you have just replaced the rusty part? If the faucet wasn’t otherwise damaged?
How far out does the Moen Brecklyn pullout go in inches ?

Glad to help! So far no issues. It seems to be a good purchase :)
Thx
What's the purpose of the second nut? Optional?
The second nut is to be installed on the bottom of the threaded shaft to protect the hose from rough edges as you pull it out.
