Best explanation and walk-thru by far. Thank you. Most of the other videos has zero commentary, very vague, skips a few steps and droned out with loud music.
You totally rock!! You thoroughly explained it and saved my husband from agony when we were trying to figure out how to connect 2 pipes that were different in size. Thank you, my vessel sink is done 🙂
Big Thanks...really helped since I couldn't find the info I needed for ensure a proper seal of the drain to the sink...the original instructions only showed use of a flimsy thin rubber washer that spells leak city. I really liked the use of silicon to solve this concern.
Nice and helpful installation video. I like how you explained the different washers, direction, and what was replaced in the p-trap kit versus P-trap adapter fitting into the wall.
I was taught (long time ago, but it was a This Old House episode where they were actually doing real people's old houses :-) that you should use plumbers putty on the underside of the drain fitting where it rests on the sink and to NOT put anything on the threads. I've not had any issues with any of the sinks I've fitted that way over the years. A little jar of it from Ace Hardware lasts forever.
I learned to use plumber's putty as well years ago, but it seems from research more plumbers are using silicone now, so I gave it a try. It makes sense to me - less brittle over time than putty. Only time will tell!
brings back a lot of memory. Good thing that you copper pipe was well anchored in that back wall. Like i said, memories....good and, not so good. Great job as always.
Thank you for this video. It was extremely helpful... One problem I have with the installation is that there is 4" space between the p-trap and the sink drain. The pipe coming out of the wall is too low. What type of extension do I need to connect the p-trap to the drain pipe?

Hello there. Thank you for installation information of bathroom sink installation..
1:25 if you apply the silicon caulking to the thread of the rubber ring, aren't you then going to smear the caulking over the threads on the tailpiece? ...and you'll end up gluing your locking nut to the tailpiece? (which would make potentially removing it in the future nearly impossible) The tailpiece of the drain pipe that I just installed had no threads where the rubber gasket went (and thus didn't need any caulking!). It also used a special locking nut (much deeper than the one you used).
One big mistake. You need a larger hole in the wood so that the washer attaches directly to the sink, not to the wood. You might get away with only the silicone seal at the top if the sink does not have an overflow but it should always have a watertight seal at the bottom.
The faucet came with an overflow drain so I had to shop for another- I had no idea that drains cost that much. The vanity has a drawer that will intersect with the drain- how short can I cut the pop up drain to attach to a horizontal pipe before dropping to the p-trap ?
Love the vanity unit and for sure going to do something similar in my reno but quick question.....what do you use on the walls. I love the cladding but curious if you bought it or routed a plank and painted. Looks awesome 👏
@@DIYMontreal I have a glass bowl and it still moves. I'll try some other methods but good video overall. Very clear instructions. Thanks for the reply.
Mala la instalación, el desague no se fija a la madera con el tapón conico, si llegara a filtrar afectara directamente a la madera y se notara cuando ya este manchada, con moho y podrida. El tubo de desague se apreta con la goma conica y luego la turca conta el vanitorio y la perforacion tiene que ser mayor a la tuerca de aprete para que baje libre y se aplica un buen cordon de silicona para que el vanitorio quede estable y se pegue bien a la base de madera aislando cualquier filtración.
Supposed to have valves in the back of the thing to turn it off in case something goes wrong I don't see no valves behind to turn the water off you didn't show me very much then thank you
You did okay, for a women lol. Now, the guys have another reason not to have plumbers crack. Wait! does this mean the ladies will have a plumber's crack? Hmm!

Great visuals and above all, very clear instructions. Thank you so much 😊

Thank you!!!! I just replaced the pop-up drain on my rv bathroom sink. It was a quick & easy job, thanks to your video.
Happy to hear it! Thanks
By far the most informative and well-paced video of all the ones I watched on this topic. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Appreciate it!

@@DIYMontrealHow did it hold up, 4 years later?? I’d love to know too!
@@angellas.1314 Has it been 4 years!?! Works 100%. No leaks. Still looks just like when I installed it.
Very clear and concise. Maybe you should offer a video about how to film instructional videos 🙂
Great install video! I like your explanations where you go back and forth to show potential hiccups in the process.
Thanks! There are always hiccups along the way so hopefully some of mine will help someone else in the same situation.
Great, easy to follow DIY video. Very helpful. Thanks!

Oh man, whatever happened... does not sound good! lol glad mine went smoothly. That's not always the case with these things as you know!
Very basic, and exactly what I needed! Thank you!
Great! Glad this was useful.
Extremely helpful, thanks!!!
Nice one! I’m saving the link to that faucet! Love it.
Thanks! Yeah, I fell in love with the faucet. 😍
Very clear instructions. Thank you so much
How is the cabinet holding up with all the water around it? Did the edge banding help?
Great job Marie! Love the way you utilized the small space, and the vanity came out beautiful.
Thanks!
Very helpful right now. Thank you.
Great work on the bathroom sink and plumbing Marie! Thanks for sharing the video with us.👍👌😎JP
Thanks! Plumbing is not something I often tackle, but it's so satisfying once you figure it out and get it done all by yourself!
😎
Great job Marie!!! you make it look so easy you must have alot of patients:-)
Ha yes, it took longer than I showed but thank you to the magic of video editing! Once you have the parts figured out it's easy! :-)
Just like always another awesome video! 👏👏 Thanks for sharing Marie!
Thanks Bill, appreciate it!
Do i need to wait for the silicon to dry for 12 hours before running water and testing for leaks?
Thank you for this video. It was extremely helpful... One problem I have with the installation is that there is 4" space between the p-trap and the sink drain. The pipe coming out of the wall is too low. What type of extension do I need to connect the p-trap to the drain pipe?
Hello there. Thank you for installation information of bathroom sink installation..
Thank you, my pleasure
Great video! Beautiful bathroom😍
Is your ptrap 1-1/2”? And the drain is 1-1/4”? Is that why you needed that larger adapter ring?
Nice tutorial. Very helpful!
Great job! Please could you tell me what kind of material is the black one on the wall that you installed the faucet?
I did it!!! Thank you so much 😊
Awesome!
clear instructions thanks
Très joli travail bravo salut Jeannot 🛠🙂
Merci!

Ça devient de plus en plus intéressant
Ah? Super alors! :-)
Very helpful. Where is the shut off valve?
so nice vanity，does the water go everywhere when washing hands
Nice work, Marie! (as usual ;-)
Thanks guys!
Great video😎 Are the sizes of pvc different from kitchen to baths?
Thanks man!

This is store bought shiplap. Was thinking of doing it myself, but the finish on the was nice and smooth and prepimed, so I went for it
Brilliant
Question. How do you stop the sink itself from moving or spinning?
When you tighten the drain ring for underneath it essentially locks it in place.
@@DIYMontreal I have a glass bowl and it still moves. I'll try some other methods but good video overall. Very clear instructions. Thanks for the reply.
so. damn. helpful!
What size hole did you drill for the drain hole?
2" is plenty friend...unless there is a fitting.
What Brand is that Vanity.?
Made it myself
And where are the shutoff valves to this??????

🤔🤔No es plomero piensala! Eso es pura propaganda!🪐😎👍🍺
Why can't I have friends like you?
😊
Forgot to sand the inside of the ABS piping you used for better bonding.
Don’t use the tubular abs p trap kits use the glue on abs traps they work a lot better
Supposed to have valves in the back of the thing to turn it off in case something goes wrong I don't see no valves behind to turn the water off you didn't show me very much then thank you
Didn't like the idea of the pop up drain,not sure if want to get my hands on dirty water
And your floating cabinet will get wet and will gonna get destroy soon
You did okay, for a women lol. Now, the guys have another reason not to have plumbers crack. Wait! does this mean the ladies will have a plumber's crack? Hmm!
Ha well I'm sure the ladies do, but I just tried not to show mine ;)
