Liked the video....after installing the faucet, the hot water pulses when turned on...any suggestions as to what I might have done wrong?

@gbghh3489 It sounds like you have some air in the line. Try running the water for a few minutes. If that doesn't work try disconnecting the water line and reconnecting.

Thank you for watching the Lowe’s YouTube Channel. –Lowe’s

Great video. Never replaced a kitchen faucet before so it was very informative and helpful. Only problem I ran into were that the plastic nuts holding the faucet down were sold old and brittle they were stuck, and broke when I used the basin wrench. Ended up using a drill, a screwdriver, and a hammer to get the suckers off. Otherwise, it all went smoothly, and the old, ugly, leaking Delta faucet has been replaced by a nice, new Moen. Thanks Lowes!

Great video...short and sweet! Ladies out there if you think you can't install a faucet think twice! i did it for the first time and with the help of this video i can now say i've installed a kitchen faucet....to my husband! ;)

Great video but I couldn't figure out how to get this working with my retro encabulator. I don't think I put the prefabulated amulite in the right spot. Otherwise, the spurving bearings may be defective.

Could someone please help a linguistically challenged Limey and explain where the word faucet came from?? Where I come from we call it a tap.

I'd like to replace my faucet with this one( 3 holes under the sink) How much is this particular one?

Fantastic video; just what I needed. I kept my laptop near me the whole time, and stopped at each point. I got stuck taking out my old faucet - I actually used a socket wrench to get off a massive nut & bolt anchoring the faucet - it was over 2" long!

I could not remove the old faucet, although I have removed the nuts underneath, is there a way you can elaborate on what some faucets that need to remove some nuts and bolts from above?
