📸 MY FILMING GEAR 📸
Here’s everything I use to film my videos, including cameras, lights, microphones and more: kit.co/nilsyni...
I learned how to change a facuet with this video, and no Dads yelled at me for holding the flashlight wrong 10/10
Same lol
😂
Although I'm curious who held LRN2DIY's flashlight
It's like we all have a the same dad 😂
@@lucariojet I hired a kid on Craigslist so I could yell at him since my son was working.
Thanks so much excellent teacher . And if I may say so myself I did a good job learning from the best.
First time I ever did this your video was very helpful 😊
Thanks!
thank u nice video !
to the client:that would be 300 m'am
i forgot mention that was motion control faucet
I just installed a new kitchen faucet thanks to your video, can’t wait for my husband to get home, he will be shocked! 😂
I can't imagine how hard it was to film in such a cramped space. To do that AND have excellent lighting AND a clear picture?! Amazing. Fantastic video
This video was sooo simple to follow. The plumber wanted $600 to do what this chap taught me to do in 30 minutes. Exactly the info I needed. Thank you; brilliant video.
600 is insane? I'm a handy person and charge $25!
@SandiKaplan. Same here. I paid over $200 for a new faucet and then was quoted a price of $400 "minimum" by the plumber. I'm going to install it myself. I feel confident that I can do it.
Wow plumbers reeeeeally want to take advantage of a simple 15 minute job for them. Shameful.
So wrong
Besides the removal of the bolt nut, was probably 45 minutes! The other three hours was struggling with the corroded nut (older setup than this, so it was a big metal thing around the whole setup). For those who get in the same situation: wd40 and then leave overnight. In the morning I was able to finally loosen it the rest of the way! Hope that saves someone hours in a cramped hopeless effort to unscrew a corroded bolt!

Yes, and in addition I took my wireless dremel tool and used a small cutting wheel to cut a standard slot in the old bolts which rounded off due to excessive rust - once a 3mm slot was cut into the old bolts, a standard screw driver was able to remove the bolts -
Can't believe a local plumbing company wants to charge me $700 to do the replacement if I supply the faucet. $1400 if they do. You saved me a fortune. Thanks
Which state/city?
Funny, I thought the $600 quote I received in MD was crazy.
$700 faucet ?!
@@MoneyMarable i had an old faucet from Ikea in my kitchen, the guy which I knew I have to say had to drill it out as it was such a mess... The new faucet cost me at Home Depot $150 + plus $100 labor, I cannot complain
So including the faucet a popular plumbing franchise wanted to charge me $1500. 😮
Tradesmen are the biggest thieves I swear
Every time something in my home breaks, I call my Dad to help. I'm 29 years old, and even though my Dad is amazing, he's getting older and his hands are rittled with arthritis and working on things is becoming more and more difficult. Thank you for making this video! I feel so much less intimidated by fixing my kitchen sink. ❤ I cant wait to get it done and show him next time he comes for a visit.
Did you do it???
I need female encouragement
!
Remember, sometimes dads want to know you're competent but still want to feel needed. It's a balance.
@risingsunpsychothera I am getting ready to do mine. Did you?
You just described my experience. Same age same dad type ❤
@@risingsunpsychothera I'm 26 and grew up with no family since I was placed in foster care so I have had to learn how to do stuff like this by watching amazing videos like these. If I can do it I know you can. It is nice to be independent and know how to do these things. Do be careful and practice and it will become less scary to do similar things overtime.
Everything mentioned in this video was exactly what I needed to know and every step was spot on. Took me 42 minutes, first project like this I've ever attempted. Thanks!!!
So glad to hear it and nice job on your project!
I saw the video, now I'm going to muster up the courage to attempt it. Fingers crossed 🤞!! Awesome video, detailed and step by step, just like I needed. Thank you!🙏
This is not helpful whatsoever! It’s too simple! Please try a faucet from 1970 where it’s all fused together, can’t get the bolts off, everything is covered in cobwebs, and none of the parts fit because of the 50 year difference in faucet design!!! 😅😂😢
That's what I usually have to deal with 😂 this video isn't relative to my circumstance
OK, I'm about to give it a try. You made it look simple, we'll see how simple it is for me. 🙂 I go into this with cautions optimism.
UPDATE: 2 hours later, I'm done. Thanks. Took me a little longer, as my old faucet assembly wasn't quite the same as the one you showed; there was some corrosion, as well as a couple of other problems, thus I had to improvise, nonetheless, the new one went on smoothly and your general instructions for a non-plummer for removal were great. Thanks again. God bless.
My 14-year-old grandson installed my faucet after watching this video, No problems, no leaks. Thank you, thank you!!!
That’s impressive!
New faucets are nicely engineered and east to install. Getting the old one out can be a problem though, if it's been in there for a while. Dealing with corrosion, lime buildup, and rusted or damaged threads complicates the removal, especially when working in a confined space with a garbage disposal unit in the way.
Hey!! I did it! My kitchen faucet was decades old and stopped working. I called a plumber who gave me an estimate, and I almost fell out of my chair. So, I found this video and…out with the old, in with the new! You rock! Thank you so much.
Lol! How much was the estimate?
Im here for the same reason! 😊
I hot an estimate for $195 💀
around here the big hardware stores, like home depot and lowes, want anywhere from $230 to $390. western chi suburbs
Thank you so much for these videos. We are not very financially well off so we can't afford to hire professionals. We were able to replace our kitchen faucet with the guidance of this video. You don't know how much of a blessing this has been. Our next project is replacing a toilet. Looking forward to that. God bless you.
I have a small leak in the end of the water hose /sprayer which is leaking down along the line of the sprayer hose onto the bottom of my kitchen sink cabinet. The leak turns out to be at the top of the sprayer where the water supply connects to the faucet handle. There is a small plastic washer which i suspect is worn out and allowing the slight leak...10 year old Moen single spray faucet. Can i buy just these little washers which im pretty sure will stop/repair the leak? Would a place like Home Depot have them or do i need to go to a plumbing place. Great video! Thanks so much.
Unless you screw the plumber, this is not going to come cheap, Thanks to your video I managed to save $700....So simple and straight forward
How about the disconnecting an old or older single valve faucet it doesn't have a center nut on it
Well, after 40 minutes, the old faucet is still not off and I have called a plumber. Dammitalltohell.
Wow... thank you SO much. My ex boyfriend was supposed to do this for me, but now I feel like I can do it myself. Empowering - thanks again!
I’m a 52 year old mother, and my kitchen faucet just broke after about 15 years… so now that I’ve seen your video,I’m extremely positive I can replace it myself! 🎉🎉 You just saved me over $100 bucks! Thanks man!! Im definitely subscribing to your channel!!😎👏🏼👊🏼🎉👍🏼
You got this! I wish you all the best and thanks so much for watching!
Who quoted you $100 bucks to replace this because someone just quoted me $350 lol
Hayzooz Christy! Very straight and to the point. Not like yt videos were you gotta meet the entire family first. Thanks
Do you have a link for the tool you use in 2:52 ? My kitchen faucet is sitting between a wall and the back of a deep sink, very tight space
ive been using this example for over 2 and a half years now.
ive replaced faucets in all kinds of places! houses, RVs, apartments... hell, i had one lady build an entire room for a sink area just so i could install this faucet!
but it seems that no matter how many faucets ive changed out, i can never replace the faucet of love that was my wife who left me after she subscribed to your channel... the last thing i remember her telling me as she packed up her belongings and our 3 children was "im leaving you for a real DIY man." and then slammed the door so hard it cracked the walls on either side of the door frame.
good thing im ALSO subscribed to your channel.
ill be on the look out for more drywall repair videos now.
Thanks!
This was awesome - changed out my faucet with a brush nickel MOEN from Home Depot. Great video and made it easy for me to do - but not 30 minutes - :)
Do your bathroom faucet next, you'll be a pro.
brushed nickel MOEN? so in other words you were so dazzled by the fancy looking faucet that you didn't care that it was the 2nd most expensive one in the whole store?
@@dudef594 Got it on sale with military discount 👌
Single mom here and thanks to you my 16 year old son was able to replace our kitchen faucet. Thank you!!!
What are you connecting the sprayer hose to? I have two supply lines and three hoses. Coming out of my faucet. What does the sprayer hose connect to?
A friend of mine told me I would need plumbers tape for this but noticed you didn’t use any. Is this a special case?
Great video, clear and well presented. Love the added detail around possible issues beyond the streamlined version. The old leaky valve issue is right on and a way valuable detail, especially when they're soldered right against the back wall!
I just used a spark plug removal tool that worked perfectly to remove that bolt!!
hello! thank you for the tutorial! does the gasket come with the sink? and does the shower head connect to s different water line?
*Done in 30 minutes! Until you realize that due to your water the valves under the sink are sealed shut, and you realize you need to have a plumber come by and replace, costing $150 just to come and take a look, and then he has to get parts and for you into their schedule and then it's 4 days and $400
Man you made me wished I’d ordered a moen. But I’ll try to install the one I got from Temu.
Hey! I just want to thank you for your excellent, easy to follow video! I changed out our dated faucet with a new Moen and my wife was very impressed! Everything went smoothly thanks to you! Much appreciated!🎉
Nice work!
No plumbers tape necessary when connecting the hot and cold water lines?
replace faucet in 30 minutes, video 9 minutes, cant beat that with a bat.
don’t forget to label your sink “sink”
I also looked at it and was like why would you do that but it was to mark the counters when they replaced them
This video was just what I needed and it saved me a lot of money. Thanks
Thanks to you I installed my new kitchen faucet . You made it simple enough for me to give it a try! NO LEAKS!!!
I’m the kind of girl who replaces everything in my home myself and this video helped me install my new faucet in 20 minutes. You gave very thorough instructions that are so easy to follow, thank you for this video it was very helpful.
Thank you for this video! It was incredibly helpful, and the new faucet is running great. Perfection!
So glad to hear it!
Thank you! Thank you!!!! My husband is out of the country so I had to take out the old and install the new! With your vid, I did it!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!
Last time I installed a kitchen faucet was nearly 20 years ago. Your video was concise and simple. I bought a highly rated inexpensive WEWE faucet from Amazon which came with the water supply lines already designed into the unit. With your video it took me less than 20 minutes to install . . Took me 30 minutes to UNinstall the old faucet. Thank you! I’m a subscriber!
That's what I bought, WEWE, wish me luck, it's my 1st time installing a faucet. "Looks simple" famous last words. 😂
This video just saved me over $2000.00. Thank you.
Love this faucet! I've been using it for a day now after installing it myself (no professional experience, casual DIYer. Took about 2 hours in total, from removing the old faucet to fully up and running with the Moen 7594EC).
Installation was very easy and straight forward for even a novice, as long as your follow the [very easy to read] step-by-step instructions. Came with everything needed, including batteries for the power supply (AC power supply sold separately).
I only have experience with a much cheaper bathroom touchless faucet and I must say the Moen 7594EC kitchen faucet is far, far superior! I guess you get what you pay for. It's a quality unit and the motion detector is far superior to my other one. Momentary activation comes on easily without having to "play around" with the sensor to find were it'll activate, and it stays on long enough momentarily to keep a constant stream when you need it, and shuts off promptly afterwards. In comparison, my bathroom (non Moen) faucet is just a headache to use sometimes. The motion detection is very off and on (no pun intended), not really staying on long enough to be useful. To get it to stay on longer (a feature), is very cumbersome. On the Moen 7594EC, there's also a second sensor on top of the unit that turns on a steady stream for when you need it. It does turn off automatically again though, after a very extended period of time (safety feature in case of inadvertent activation).
Really looking forward to using this unit for some time to come. The added benefits of hands free are numerous, suffice to say at the very least, you won't get handles contaminated with bacteria after handling raw food, for example!
I highly recommend the Moen 7594EC, from ease of installation to the practicality and performance of the product! amzn.to/3Kurz0s
was a bit worried about replacing my faucet, now I'm ready. thanks for the clear and easy to follow video.
Thanks for the help, I also had a Moen and it was the same exact set up. Probably took me less than 15 mins once I had the old one out. Was so corroded and then was also had a piece stuck in it so I couldn't get the hoses out 😣. Again, thanks for the great video
Thank you so much for this video! I just installed a new faucet! First time ever!Made my day
Thank you SO much for this video! I needed to replace my kitchen faucet, but other instructional videos made it seem too complicated for my beginner-level DIY skills. After watching yours through, I built up enough confidence to give it a try. So glad I did! The hardest part was actually disconnecting the old weight, but even with struggling with a few of the old parts, I installed my new faucet all by myself in under an hour! :D You just saved me about $300 in plumbing fees, and built up my knowledge and confidence. To anyone considering trying this yourself, I think you should! Just make sure you're limber enough to get up under the sink. ;)
Way to go!
Gonna take this on today. Thank you for the step by step guide. Looks very doable!!
Just finished.. longest part was taking out the old faucet. That fastener nut was a doozy.. sheesh. Thanks again! 😊
I watched four different videos I'm being honest with you I got so confused until I watched your video I believe I can do this myself at least I'm praying I can LOL I will let you know how everything goes Thank you for taking your time posting this video
Good Job
I've been putting off a kitchen faucet replacement for longer than I'd like to admit because I was too intimidated to start the project. But the old faucet started to literally fall apart this past week, so my hand was forced lol. I watched this video and felt confident that I could actually do something like this by myself. The removal of my old faucet was the hard part (took about 90 mins of struggling with old parts and a tiny workspace), but I flew through the installation of the new faucet using this video as a supplement to the written instructions. It took about 30-40 minutes to install -- a walk in the park! Thank you for this wonderful video!
Same here! I'll be doing this later today haha.
Awesome, clear video! Took me a little longer than the 30 minutes but I did it all on my own and saved myself the cost of the faucet!! Thank you!!!
This video is really helpful. After watching it I was better able to make sense of the written instructions that came with my new faucet and to install it correctly without hassle.
Thanks for this video - very helpful! And thanks to Moen for including the tool for removing & tightening the fastener nut - sooooo much easier than trying to manipulate a wrench in the limited space between the wall and the sink! (Don't ask me how I know...) New Moen Georgene faucet is working great!
Here I thought i needed a plumber for this, wife told me to switch our faucet because our old one got a hole in it. This guid was the same exact faucet she ordered online, I was surprised and happy knowing that it meant each step would be identical which it was everything down to the same line going to the dishwasher, this video made it extremely easy to make the switch and first attempt worked 100% thank you, these past few years I’ve been taking on more and more small projects like this that I never knew I could and have been pleased each time, my wife is proud of me, I owe it to this video for making it insanely easy :)
Yes people should realize that most plumbing jobs are so easy and so ridiculously over priced it's not even funny. That is right... people without plumbing "degrees" (again show me a plumber with a degree) can easily replace most of the stuff in their house in less then an hour, and save literally hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. There are even fast connect faucets now that take about 15 minutes max to install.
Very nice setup - most older sinks/faucets are a lot harder to do. Rusty stuff, faucets won't shut off, etc.
Great video. Very informative
Awesome video! Great instructions and great camera work too. So easy to follow. I have zero experience in plumbing and you made it so easy. Thank you so much for posting this video!
"I have zero experience", this comment is from 13 days ago. How big is the puddle of water under your sink?
Adding this to my list of skills I can now do, thanks TH-cam! Saved me a lot of money on not having to hire a plumber!
My old faucet was so old I still had separate supply lines. This new moen is so much easier. I had memories of having to thread two separate connections.
Omg I was freaking out to change my kitchen faucet. It’s look so easy now. Thx for super easy video to understand whole process
Nice tutorial! Saved us some money not calling a plumber. Quick note for anyone replacing a Delta faucet - the main plate nut on our 2018 model was too big for the Moen plastic sleeve. So we had to buy a basin wrench at Harbor Freight. Was a bit tricky getting it off, but after some profanity we got it removed!
Thank you! I just removed my old faucet and installed my new Moen faucet with your help!
EXCELLENT video.
I can’t stand when people feel the need to repeat themselves or include completely useless info.
This was to the point, clear video and told me just what I needed… nothing more nothing less.
I am 40 years old and a new home owner and this made it so easy to change the faucet. Thank you!
Great video but these extendable hose taps are a solution seeking a problem! What is the point of it all - what's wrong with a basic mixer tap?
Best installation video I have watched hands down. Thank you for explaining in such details. I did a great job install my new faucet watching this.
Wheres that hose connected?
Thank you so much for this video. We saved $700 on the installation by a plumber and instead did it ourselves. Feels great to be self-sufficient!
Maravilloso e instructivo video. Muchísimas Gracias 🙏🏻 Saludos desde Cali, Colombia 🇨🇴
Thanks for the Video.
If U into doing more Videos.....could U show us working w/old faucets. At least tips how to remove.......Thnks again....!
Hey man big appreciation for this video - I'm not very handy and this got me through my installation perfectly!!
Very nicely done, Easy to comprehend and YES--Will get on it !! thankyou !!
You make it look easy.... Wish me luck. I will buy the faucet (again) and install myself. I just couldn't bring myself to pay $200 for this 😒 which is what i was getting quoted.
Hello. I have a couple of questions, hopefully you can help me plzzzz.
I need to change my kitchen faucet, but the new faucet I bought doesn't come with any hoses or supply tubes.
So my super said I need to buy 2 hoses.
Is there any faucets with supply tubes or hoses included?
And what's difference between supply tubes and hoses.
Thank you so much
Super helpful, thank you! I got my faucet changed out. I did have to fight a very rusty wingnut, but everything you provided here was super helpful.
Hi I just came across your video. I love the way you showed every detail thanku for that!!! I just bought a moen haysfield. Im going to putit in myself tomorrow. I was told I would need the tape. (Plumbers tape) lol. U can tell I haven't done this before. Every video I watched they don't use it. I don't understand why? Can you explain that please. Also when I bought it the gentleman said I needed this certain wrench which I also bought. That is also not mentioned in any video. I'm sure I can put this faucet in myself. If I need the tape & this other specific wrench, I'm sorry I forgot the name of it, thats all good. If I don't need it why would the guys tell me to buy at the store?? I'm hoping u can clarify for me. I do absolutely love your teaching thanku. Sorry so long. Enjoy your day/evening
Great guide, thank you! It gave me a hope that I can install the new one, but unfortunately can't remove the old one - it mounted on the metal surface of sink, looks like it glued underneath, and the mounting hardware looks different.
I could've done it in 20 minutes but my faucet was so rusted it broke my faucet removal tool. Now I gotta make a trip to HD or Lowes and that's gonna add a good couple hours to the job! Yes! 😵💫
I changed my faucet today with a model very similar that you shown, and your video was very helpful. Thanks!
Just replaced my faucet with a new one I got off amazon. I also purchased a "telescoping basin wrench" as the set screw that was previously on the old faucet was very hard to reach and tightly bound to the faucet. Very challenging to remove, and required some WD 40 to loosen it up, but the instructions in this video still applied. Thank you for the detailed yet concise video!
Ha! I got a ridiculous quote to do just this! Not gonna get meeeeeeeee! Thank you!!
This video was perfect for removal and installation of my kitchen sink. I followed along step by step and nothing was left out. 10 out of 10.😃
Thanks man, great video! Hopefully I have the simple push button under the sink. Lol. I guess I’ll find out when I attempt to do this myself in a week or so. Lol. Video was so good I sub to the channel. Thanks again.
Yea this video ONLY works if you have that handy dandy tool. That’s what the description should say.
“How to change a faucet using special tool that comes with new faucet”
I'm want to try to DIY my faucet replacement myself becasue the pople tht said they would do it never has time. I find this video helpful however, all of the videos I've watched works on sinks where the hoses are easy to get to. My sink is old and it has a large heavy duty garbage disposal right in the front middle of the bottom of my sink which makes it difficult t get to the hoses. Nothing is ever easy (sigh)!!!
Thank you! My dad is going to be helping me replace my faucet down stairs here momentarily. Question though, and I know you most likely won’t get to it before then, but how necessary is it to wait to put on the head part of the faucet?
This video was sooo helpful! Thanks for all your videos, I remember watching the first one of yours way back when you teaching us how to run cables behind the wall. Now that I am a homeowner I will be watching a ton more I am sure.
I've had the worse luck trying to change my faucet. The slip nut that mounts the faucet is some cumbersome gigantic piece of plastic that surrounds an actual brass nut (or whatever material it is) and I can't grip it with a telescope wrench or anything else for that matter. The under part of my sink also had a piece of wood right down the middle so I have to squeeze in there sideways to even reach it, along with a huge garbage disposal being in the way (I ended up taking it out but still no luck on trying to loosen that sumbitch slip nut). To top it all off, the little twist nut on the cold water line seems to be stripped or something because when I go to loosen it, it spins back the other direction the second I take the wrench off it.
I give up. I put it all back together, I guess I'm going to have to call someone else and let it be their problem.
What I learned from this is that I really only need a new nozzle head because scale is built up inside it. If such a thing is available for the unit I purchased 12 years ago. Which was a more expensive faucet.
Got a Moen facet from Costco and will attempt to install it this weekend. Thank you for the video!
By the way, no plumbers putty needed at the base?
