LMAO install the stopper, lift rod, and lever accordording to the manufacturers instructions?! REALLY!! That's why I'm on here. I need INSTRUCTIONS! Or at least a video of you putting it on.

Keep in mind that this video is an overview! This is not a process video. My old connectors were corroded. I, as tiny as I am, couldn't even navigate myself behind the sink to get to the washers. Also, you do not only need a wrench, silicone and Phillips. You need instruments to get the old pieces out. Depending on what year the original faucet was installed, will determine the tools needed.

It's much easier when you can tip the entire thing over and install it instead of crawling inside the cabinet

Doesn't spend any time at all describing how to install the waste pipe. FAIL.

[owenmcilvenna]

Yeah somehow I don't think it's gonna be that straightforward.

I've never changed a faucet before, found this video great! The only problems I had was that the morons that installed the old faucet had decided to WELD the nuts that hold the faucet in place lol! Once I got that all dealt with, installation was quite simple! Thanks for the instructions!

@111outback How did you resolve the problem with the welded nuts at the bottom of your faucet? (It was headache enough for me loosening nuts not welded.)

[DeborahCirincione13]

How did you handle the welded nuts? Mine are rusted. I know this sounds like a dirty conversations (LOL), but I could use help.

Good video!

I switched the faucets in my bathroom (although I had no idea or never have done so)and had to watch a few videos on here to get a good idea of what to expect but the only way to do it is just to do it yourself and lean off your mistakes. After I switched the first one, the defintely felt more confident with the second. These videos are a very brief tetorial.

i like how they make it seem so simple"ITS NOT'

[55555me]

not a bad video but most faucets that come with a plastic gasket like that say not to use putty and use a silicone based sealer instead. Also after you open the faucet to make sure the water is turned off close it again when you disconnect the supply lines so it holds the water in the faucet and you wont need to catch it in a bucket or have it follow the lines back down into your ceiling.

Thanks Mike

Agreed. How about slowing down a bit and showing the actual steps. And notes like, 'hey maybe you'll need plumber's tape' aren't really helpful.

[UniquelyGeeky]

This video should be titled "What a faucet looks like after installation."

I don't mean to sound rude, but I wish he had shown more of the actual installation, as that is why I watched this "how to" video in the first place.

[Onlythetruth247]

Hey! That old faucet looks like mines. I can't wait to replace it!!!

[MyopiaPrevention]

LOWE'S videos are so well made! They definitely gives the store a good impression to homeowners.

I noticed that they used the plumbers putty on a cultured marble sink. IIRC, plumbers putty causes cultured marble to crack and discolor over time. you should use silicone to seal around your faucet instead of plumbers putty.

well said. This is mentioned in HomeDeopt's how to vedio.
