So glad to see you grunt and groan trying to work up under the sink. Most youtube videos make it look so easy. Real life is hard when working up under there!
The dreaded ball turret of home renovation and repair. Only a sadist could be happy to hear there's a problem with the sink. They should be impeached and charged with insurrection.
great video again! As a plumber, i just love those plastic tail pieces. removes the fail point of the brass nut and top hat leaks due to corrosion in the long run. Plus its a one piece design with a rubber gasket, almost guaranteed not to leak.
Thank you! Tank you! Thank you! I am in the USA and I started to watch your video a year before I become a home owner. From my shed to a complete basement finished I did by my own because of you. And now people are calling me for some work in their house or backyard. Thank you!
I've been watching and rewatching your videos the last 3 weeks as I complete a DIY reno. Compared to other videos on the same subject matter (not just this one, but hanging doors, drywall, electrical etc) you bring simplicity and understable instruction. Thank you very much! Without a doubt you've saved me lots of money, time and frustration.
I truly appreciate watching mistakes and frustrations as well as successes. It allows you to truly teach to truth. This is why it is always YOUR videos that I share with friends. Love it!
You probably just saved me a bit of time and money. My garage sink/laundry drain was installed by the previous owners with threaded connectors between every joint in the pvc. And 3 of those joints are leaking. I was going to replace the whole line using normal joints and pvc glue. I hadn't even thought they may not have used teflon tape.
Jeff. Yet another detailed job that you make look easy. Just wanted to point out a small detail that you maybe didn't film but when testing a faucet (or new plumbing, or etc), always remove any aerators/flow restrictors at the spigot before turning on the water for the first time. Otherwise, they'll catch any debris in the lines and/or fixtures that can then cause uneven or blocked water flow. Otherwise, keep the great videos coming.
Using the black or white washer ring on TOP of the sink drain, will cause the basket to be elevated above the drain opening. I always use putty for better fitment and put the washers on the bottom.
The thin white foam goes on top, the thick rubber goes underneath, plumbers putty is so old school, I'll rather use silicone if not using the foam gaskets
@@ellyr6234Not needed but there may be a small gap on the outer edge where stuff can get trapped, if using silicone or putty, it will squeeze out the side, I just don't like the thickness of putty, doesn't flow well, you have to make sure it has 100% coverage when compressed
Thank you for all of your videos. Bought my house 2.5 years ago. I have a 1 yr old and 3yr old. Your videos save me so much time with trial and error. THANK YOU!!
You reminded me of when I was finishing my custom mailbox post last week. Went to lowe's and bought three 5" lag screws to attach the top. Not only did they not tighten up ONE BIT but they also stripped out in the process! And I'm saying one of them had a completely round head by the time I got it back out. So I returned that garbage and got three 6" torx construction screws at home depot that did the job on the first try.
Sometimes when I watch your videos I am so engaged that when you talked about adding a straight piece of pipe into the assembly, I was like: Jeff I got one in the Car. Let me get that ... oh.
Jeff I have learned that it is better to install the faucet on the sink before dropping the sink assembly into place. put the sink on a saw horse and go to work. That trick makes the installation more enjoyable for me.
I love his ability to have a workaround! Additionally his candor of what's best to use (not garbage) ! Thanks for best practices (procedure/process, equipment/supplies to use)!
Just found this channel, it’s a keeper…I try to complete as many projects I can myself so finding these are so useful! Thanks so much for sharing. Your work looks top of line! I still have to really take my time!
"Excuse me for a bit while I crawl into the abyss." Hahaha. Just installed a new kitchen sink today. Went from a double sink to a large single with an offset drain. I quite honestly watch your videos exclusively when I need to do something DIY that I've never done before.
I agree on your statement about silicone, I always make sure that I buy good old acetoxy silicone. Chemistry somewhat disagrees with the statement of good silicone stinks: the "stinky silicone" is based on the acetoxy cure: look for methyltriacetoxysilane and ethyltriacetoxysilane or acetic acid on the label (the acid in vinegar ) fumes are what you smell. Very good bonding to almost everything, it cures very well, faster than the label says, *but it can corrode metals and discolor stones*. The other types are oxime and neutral cure, and they both bond almost as well and some have better characteristics for flexibility/tensile. But even though they state that they are water ready in 30 minutes, their fast skin time makes them very slow to cure to depth. The crappy silicones you refer to are probably not even silicone but hybrids.
I found moen adler is the best kitchen faucet for rental properties, the easiest installation and supplies everything in the box.. efficient and most profitable lol
I absolutely love your channel. You are helping me re-finish my entire condo! Thank you so much for these instructional videos. They really help me out.
Hello! After attempting (and succeeding!) to change my bathroom’s sink faucet and drain pipes for the first time, I’ve become really interested in learning how to do other things around the house. Now I must ask, what does the spray hose connect to? I didn’t really understand. Also your videos are really well made, the instructions are very clear and I find myself watching them in my free time to learn more. Thanks!
The spray hose quick-connects to the faucet's combined hot&cold water line. Those 2 seperate water supply lines lead from the shut off valves to the faucet. They combine in some form of mixing chamber and the water is directed down the combined line. This line connects to the spray hose. It's the one you attach the weight to. There might be tape on it to suggest where the weight should be attached. Just below the tape is usually a good location. Jeff can't answer all questions, but I hope this helps.
I'm surprised that you didn't install the faucet hardware on the sink before putting it in place. I learned that from "This Old House" . Thier Master Plummer is Richard Tretheuy (sp?).
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY How about cutting a piece of countertop to simulate doing as you suggest but not going through the countertop that the sink actually sits on? This would allow mounting the faucet before putting the sink in place.
I stopped using metal P traps because my fingers when through one when I was inspecting under a sink in an apartment I lived in in college. Plastic doesn't rust and corrode. Although, I probably would use a metal sink basket since it doesn't constantly hold water like the p trap.
Love your channel, I do most of the work myself and so much info got from your channel. Now was planning to do the drain in my place and updates the kitchen and got stuck on a clearance from the sink and a drain pipe in the wall . As soon as I tacked the old Petra it was filled loose and sure into it it a copper pipe all rasted in and it is quiet up so my distance from the sink drain and the wall pipe like 2 inch distance...
The problem with steel is that it rots. And just when you're doing some kind of cleanout, it breaks out. Happened more than once to me. Plastic will never do that. Plastic also conforms better to a seal. It's not good for everything, but quite often its still a great option. Also, you should always install the faucet if you can on that sink before installing it. I thought you were making things easier by installing it before you placed the sink? That self is really unnecessary too. Should have killed it. Most sink basin cabinets never have a full shelf in them.
Those plastic strainers are garbage. I was repiping below a sink and must've notched into the pre existing one and when I tested the strainer started leaking. Got soft and Brittle over time and immediately failed. Give me ridgid materials all day long. Jeff is a rookie though, doesn't deburr any pipe and the Teflon isn't doing anything on the ptrap, it's a tapered design, seals itself hes not a plumber but good at other things.
Two questions: 1) why didn't you attach the faucet to the sink before you installed the sink? 2) why didn't you run a bead of silicon under the sink lip before you placed it in the opening?
Can you please do a video of replacing old kitchen cabinets but keeping the existing countertop? I bought a house where flipper added the new countertop but didn't update 1980 cabinets.
Thanks for your video! Just would like to give some constructive feedback, clear one section, then move on to the other section. It's just confusing, you go from the drain, to the p-trap, to the drain again etc. Thanks a lot for your tips!
Omg I love ur TH-cam videos I have a ? I'm renovating a kitchen that was built about the 1970s ... my question is the sink drain measures 31\4 inches and I can not find a new sink drain that measures that it's either 3in or 31/2 so help me plz lol and no the sink has to stay can't afford new sink... thank you love watching !!!!
I have a girlie question I am about to install new plumbing pipes under the sink and have pre connected them all the way the old ones were laid out when purchasing the waste pvc pipe Home Depot customer service suggested when I showed the old plumbing pipelines he thought that the waste line that’s connected to the tee pipe should be tiled slightly down to the tee pipe so gravity would drain better. Do you agree with this opinion? Thank you
In small spaces it is not necessary to have pipes tilted 1 degree however it is not good to have them sloped in the wrong direction for sure. level is just fine for small joints. Cheers!
I thought the way to seal the sink was to use the putty like you did but....same thing happened to me as it will not compress enough. Had to pull it up same as you did and use silicone.
22:23 As I get older, I appreciate an “old man gremlin laugh.” When it’s time to get into some contorted, awkward position under a sink, under a car, in the attic, etc, it somehow seems to help. 😄

I dont useclips , I set sink temporarily, mark it with pencil, set sink then put clamps thru holes of strainer baskets and place a 1x4 on top and toghten ,pulls sink down tight
@@susanmei9980 forgot to say I put caulk under sink dabs here and there, I clamp using those squezze clamps thru holes in bottom of sink where strainer baskets go. on top put a 3' 1x4 across sink and top of clamp hooks on 1 x 4. leave overnight, remove clamp and 1x 4 install strainer baskets etc. I had to remove my kitchen sink to add tile, it took a hydraulic jack to get sink off, holding power is more than needed, and you dont have to climb around under there and hook up those clips and you cant see what your doing. WORKS GREAT
@@timothyroche6445 I know you put a board on the top to clamp to; but there must be something under the sink to clamp too on the lower side; otherwise you’re just clamping the sink to the sink! Do you know what I mean?
In my early 30s I did brass under my kitchen sink. In my late 40s, there was seepage, I went to see if it needed tightening and it tore apart in my hands, corroded through. Plastic wins, it's less expensive and lasts more than a decade in my experience, and I see other commenters having found the same thing. Any place with hard/limited access I also would only install something long lasting. Your comment about flipping the place and only needing that faucet to last a year or two made me cringe, especially with that shelf blocking the next person trying to figure out how to remove it without damage! Any particular reason you went with ABS instead of PVC? Again seems not a big savings but not as durable.
For your relief, I bought a sink an expensive sink by Kraus in s.s. very heavy 16 gauge, and the stainer housing is plastic. I am not going to seek a metal strainer. I see your using abs pipes so if the premise is plastic bad then why the pipes of plastic? They do sell 17 gauge chrome plated brass if you want to spend about $45 just for the P-trap (plus the other piping parts you'll need). I have not yet done the pipes but I bought a bunch in PVC, Lowe's did not carry ABS drain pipes in stock. I am trying to find out if ABS is better than PVC, but I did buy "heavy duty" PVC, and so that's what I'll probably end up using.
Love your videos, but I’m LMAO watching you struggle with that sink installation. I’m an advanced diy guy, so I remodeled my master bath. Not afraid of electrical, plumbing, carpentry, dry walling, tiling, but installing the damned sink in the new vanity drove me nuts. It’s the old “you can see it or touch it but you can’t do both!!”
Doesn't PVC last longer than any steel pipes will? I just had all the drain pipes in my house basically disintegrate, wasn't about to replace it with more metal that's going to corrode and fail in 50 years for the next person.
D.i.y. job or professional? I have a dry rotted 4x6 upright post at the end of my carport, holds up the trusses/ roof. Can I put a few jacks under it and replace it myself or is this too much for d.i.y.?
just contact a structural engineer for the plans. anyone you hire will need to do the same so it isn't money wasted. then you can be sure to do it safe and right. It is actually easy once you have the right process in mind.
tbh plastic doesnt rot like that cheap pot metal tho.. after the coating is nicked or worn through its amazing how fast that pot metal degrades and rots from just tap water... as long you u use plumbers dough and dont over torque it, it will far outlast the plastic imo
Thank you for the good video,very informative and useful as always.however,I have to say that to have a shelve in the sink cabinet is wiered and very unusual, but to have to install the sink with the shelve in place, is definitely not wise at all.
I respectfully disagree with some things: I would put the rubber gasket and the white, possibly cardboard slip gasket go under the basket strainer between the sink bottom and top of the basket strainer with the plumbers putty under the basket on the top of the sink bottom hole for it. Using the rubber gasket inside the sink allows it to stick out and collect debris, not to mention if the slip gasket IS cardboard it can absorb water and degrade as well, possibly wicking water at some point. I LOVE Sharkbite but I am not a fan of leaving any kind of piping sticking out like that as it makes it too easy to twist and damage or fold/crimp a supply line when you are trying to turn off a line, I would have gone as far as to use a copper stub out such as the sharkbite 90 stubout and perhaps used 1/2" pipe brackets to secure the piping to the walls of the cabinet. I hope you will secure the free supply lines that were on the shelves because rapid changes in water pressures in the system anywhere will make them move around from the pressure of the water hammers and make for a needlessly noisy system.

I just watched you put Teflon tape on a compression joint where the threads aren’t the seal. Cmon!
any thread on abs needs to have teflon to get a proper seal. There are no gaskets on abs drains.

I dont useclips , I set sink temporarily, mark it with pencil, set sink then put clamps thru holes of strainer baskets and place a 1x4 on top and toghten ,pulls sink down tight
But what do you clamp to underneath?
@@susanmei9980 forgot to say I put caulk under sink dabs here and there, I clamp using those squezze clamps thru holes in bottom of sink where strainer baskets go. on top put a 3' 1x4 across sink and top of clamp hooks on 1 x 4. leave overnight, remove clamp and 1x 4 install strainer baskets etc. I had to remove my kitchen sink to add tile, it took a hydraulic jack to get sink off, holding power is more than needed, and you dont have to climb around under there and hook up those clips and you cant see what your doing. WORKS GREAT
underneath clamp hooks on bottom near drain, those clamps have rubber ..
@@timothyroche6445 I know you put a board on the top to clamp to; but there must be something under the sink to clamp too on the lower side; otherwise you’re just clamping the sink to the sink! Do you know what I mean?
@@susanmei9980 board on the bottom or whatever to put pressure on clamp
I would personally want to get rid of the middle shelf underneath the sink. Its difficult to work in that crowded space.

I agree about the cheap plastic crap.👍👍
@12:02 My sink talks about running a bead of silicone around. Does the plumbers putty work better?
Might've been answered a few seconds latter. I'm not sure if the silicone comment was in place of the plumbers putty or in addition?
In my early 30s I did brass under my kitchen sink. In my late 40s, there was seepage, I went to see if it needed tightening and it tore apart in my hands, corroded through. Plastic wins, it's less expensive and lasts more than a decade in my experience, and I see other commenters having found the same thing.
Any place with hard/limited access I also would only install something long lasting. Your comment about flipping the place and only needing that faucet to last a year or two made me cringe, especially with that shelf blocking the next person trying to figure out how to remove it without damage!
Any particular reason you went with ABS instead of PVC? Again seems not a big savings but not as durable.
I will guarantee you that your tail piece was tin and not brass if it failed in 10 years. Brass does not rot out in less than 25 years.
Hey Jeff, why no plumber's putty on the drain install?
no need with a built in gasket. If it don't drip it ain't broken. Cheers!
For your relief, I bought a sink an expensive sink by Kraus in s.s. very heavy 16 gauge, and the stainer housing is plastic. I am not going to seek a metal strainer. I see your using abs pipes so if the premise is plastic bad then why the pipes of plastic? They do sell 17 gauge chrome plated brass if you want to spend about $45 just for the P-trap (plus the other piping parts you'll need). I have not yet done the pipes but I bought a bunch in PVC, Lowe's did not carry ABS drain pipes in stock. I am trying to find out if ABS is better than PVC, but I did buy "heavy duty" PVC, and so that's what I'll probably end up using.
Love your videos, but I’m LMAO watching you struggle with that sink installation. I’m an advanced diy guy, so I remodeled my master bath. Not afraid of electrical, plumbing, carpentry, dry walling, tiling, but installing the damned sink in the new vanity drove me nuts. It’s the old “you can see it or touch it but you can’t do both!!”
Doesn't PVC last longer than any steel pipes will? I just had all the drain pipes in my house basically disintegrate, wasn't about to replace it with more metal that's going to corrode and fail in 50 years for the next person.
Papa Jeff is bacc
Cheers!
one thing i learned installing a a strainer is that Lefty loosely doesn’t applied here
D.i.y. job or professional? I have a dry rotted 4x6 upright post at the end of my carport, holds up the trusses/ roof. Can I put a few jacks under it and replace it myself or is this too much for d.i.y.?
just contact a structural engineer for the plans. anyone you hire will need to do the same so it isn't money wasted. then you can be sure to do it safe and right. It is actually easy once you have the right process in mind.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY 👍 thanks
yep use copper lines & Stainless hose
Great video, where do you get the black pipes?
Those are ABS pipes, the code in Canada.
tbh plastic doesnt rot like that cheap pot metal tho.. after the coating is nicked or worn through its amazing how fast that pot metal degrades and rots from just tap water... as long you u use plumbers dough and dont over torque it, it will far outlast the plastic imo
in truth most folks over torque the plastic so I can't suggest it. the tailpiece will at least last 25 years!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY that is very true!!
Thank you for the good video,very informative and useful as always.however,I have to say that to have a shelve in the sink cabinet is wiered and very unusual, but to have to install the sink with the shelve in place, is definitely not wise at all.
I respectfully disagree with some things: I would put the rubber gasket and the white, possibly cardboard slip gasket go under the basket strainer between the sink bottom and top of the basket strainer with the plumbers putty under the basket on the top of the sink bottom hole for it. Using the rubber gasket inside the sink allows it to stick out and collect debris, not to mention if the slip gasket IS cardboard it can absorb water and degrade as well, possibly wicking water at some point. I LOVE Sharkbite but I am not a fan of leaving any kind of piping sticking out like that as it makes it too easy to twist and damage or fold/crimp a supply line when you are trying to turn off a line, I would have gone as far as to use a copper stub out such as the sharkbite 90 stubout and perhaps used 1/2" pipe brackets to secure the piping to the walls of the cabinet. I hope you will secure the free supply lines that were on the shelves because rapid changes in water pressures in the system anywhere will make them move around from the pressure of the water hammers and make for a needlessly noisy system.
