hi i have a leaky faucet.. im trying to help my grandmother fix hers so that we dont have to pay so much to fix it. THAT'S the same type of tap she has.... i wish you could have showed up whereto stop the water supply.."cut itoff at the curb"? what do u mean where is that located?

[NoirHammer]

Great idea to have closed captioning block the faucet. Who thought that one up?

[SuperMichaelblake]

"It saves a lot of time and effort to take it to the hardware and let them put the gasket on". Perhaps if the hardware is next door.

that sink and house is 40's? 50's?

More close-ups would help.

Your video is what made me decide to fix my leaky faucet because it looked easy,however after taking my faucet apart the setup on the inside of mine looked nothing likes yours.The hardware department told me i had a "Delta" setup.Which required a new rubber washer and spring on both hot and cold sides.I took me a little while to fix not realizing i was trying to put the springs in upside down but i finally figured it out and now its fine.

I was excited to see that my faucet looks exactly like yours -- but I cannot remove the handles. They aren't corroded in place or anything, they just seem to be either stuck, or permanently attached. Any suggestions?

There is a tool it is call Faucet Handle Puller, it is very easy to use, and cost about $8, you can find it at hardware store.

All these DIY videos make it look so easy to fix, because they are fixing a "new" faucet" instead of a old one like mine. Lol

[peter13433]

if i shut off my shut off valve and it still dripps, is it still safe to take apart the faucet????!!?!?

[didiandfamily]

Peter, I have the same problem as yours, I am still trying to find a solution.

[peter13433]

pls messege/comment me if u find a solution and i will do the same? =]

[NoPointNLying]

I happen to have bought a house just 4 months ago with a faucet just like that in each kitchen! I had seen these when I was a kid at my grandma's.Also no shut off valves. I was so unsure as to what to even though I have replace newer faucet washers. Thank you so much for I can now go ahead with confidence and not worry! BTW-They are very nice with the handy place above for your sponge. I think I'm going to keep them when I remodel.

cool, man thanks

[letstalkaboutstuff]

Hey, THANK YOU for this. May I suggest placing a dry wash cloth on the bottom of the sink to cover the drain in case you drop a screw, so it won't go down the drain.

Anyway, you're awesome.

99% of the time its a worn or chipped seat...just changing the washers may not last long. check the seats. and thats a Price Pfister wall mount kitchen faucet... dont forget to tell them that they make ceramic stems that fit in place of the old stems and last alot longer

[littulb]

Thanks so much!!! I just dropped my water bill down 20 bucks!!!!!!!!!!

[anonymous915]

Can you do one for the Delta faucets with plastic replacement parts?

[bluetentrobyn]
