I almost broke the medicine cabinet above as it is necessary to pull it directly up.
How about replacing just the rubber o-rings???
how do you get that plastic cartridge to pull out so easily?
Where can I send a video of my faucet in action? I'm not sure if I have to do everything this suggests.
I really love that counter top
Thanks!!! This is a great video.
thank you Lowe's
instructions unclear,
my faucet now has P, D, 2nd, N, R options.
My nut won't unscrew it takes the entire handle with it and tangles the tubes underneath, suggestions? I tried white vinegar, now it's clean at least, lol
My facet tap does not have any set screws. What should I do?
Not for nothing but – is this all I have to do ?
Does this apply to typical kitchen two-handle UK sinks?
Great idea to tape up the wrench with blue masking tape! Better than using cloth.
It turned out I actually needed to replace the spring and washer underneath the cartridge which this does not cover. Of course that required a second trip to the store so that was a hassle but what do you expect.
Didn't make it past "Use White Vinegar to loosen the aerator" which stripped the finish off the Restoration Hardware Nickel Plated faucet. Now i need to replace everything 🙁
This is fine for people with new bathrooms!
What if it still leaks with both supplies off
Thanks for the free example. Guess I will return the favor and become a customer.
Tried repairing a leaking faucet on my own with no luck. I just saw what I did wrong. Thanks.
How do you twist of the airator ?
the biggest problem is that most times the cheap plastic shut off valves wont shut off all the way, and sometimes break at the handle
drip swag like a broken faucet
Oh man. I got to the part about pulling the cartridge out. Mine appeared to be that type. I pulled out a piece exposing to weird little hour glass things. What I pulled off seemed to be some kind of plastic cap that looked like the top of the cartridge. At that pint there was nothing I could get to lower. The two little hour glass shaped things moved out of their tracks. I tried to re-align them and put the top plastic piece back on. When I put it back together the tap now turns the wrong way. I re-opened it and messed with those hour glass things again and at least have it back to where the tap turns the right way. I wrenched hard on the nut that held that cap in and seems to have slowed the drip at least.
This actually put my mind at ease. Even if I do end up calling a plumber I didn't realize how easy it would be to replace certain parts, and not the entire faucet. Thank you for this.
2:15 “gently pull out” Demonstrator yanks it out ????
Driving me nuts because I can't find a way to get to the valve. No set screws accessible. The one thing that looks like it could be a cover doesn't even have an indent or gap I can get a tiny screwdriver into to pop it off.
I want to listen to what the person is saying about fixing a leaky tap/faucet.Why is there music playing?Not in the background,but quite loudly so as to distract, very annoying pointless muzak.I dont want to dance as i fix the tap.
