I did it!!! It took me about an hour, although it felt much longer. Tears of frustration and a bit of cussing. My hardest parts were getting rhe faucet loose from the sink and getting the old supply lines off the faucet. Vice grips, small slip joint pliers, and some wd40. Go me!!! I'm almost 65, living in an old house trailer. Cold water in the kitchen is the first of many projects. Thank you so much!!

Yep, it wouldn’t be a real DIY project unless I have to go to Home Depot at least three times.

Love your straight to the point video and sense of humor. Thank you for not taking an hour to explain. Great work. 😁
This video gave me the guts to feel confident about replacing my broken faucet. I even used the vice grip pliers. It was so rusted I had to remove the entire sink to get the grip and room to actually remove it. But your video is so unbelievably helpful especially reminding to measure the connector lines. Thank you so so very much!

Great Tutorial! This would have been so much easier if the people that installed our original faucet didn't tighten the bolt so tight to the faucet bracket. It took us 3 hours to get that thing unscrewed and we had to go buy a better tool to get it off, but finally came off and of course we ended up having to go buy new hose/lines, because ours were also too short, wish I saw this video before I bought the faucet...LOL..all good now and got my new faucet installed and very pleased. Thanks for an easy video!

Loved the humor and real world implications. Thanks for making this short yet detailed focused on the subject.
I just replaced our kitchen faucet. I planned on one hour or so. . . well, three hours latter and a trip to the hardware store to buy new lines and I was done. The hardest thing was trying to loosen the old plastic water rings with a plumbers off set wrench. Boy was that hard! Most things take longer than originally planned. I sure am glad that is done. This was a great video. I wished I would have watched it first. I did the replacement in the order that is shown here. The newer facets have a 6" copper drop down to make the replacement much easier. I would strongly suggest a plumbers offset wench before you start your project. Good luck. You pretty much need to be a human contortionist to perform this on a older appliance.
From the time you slowly opened the box like a "big reveal" , I knew I would enjoy this video 😀

I have to replace my mom's sink faucet as I am trying to save her money. Watching your video, I just ordered the tools I'll need from Lowes plus the extra Supply lines just in case, so I can tackle the job tomorrow without having to stop and go back to the hardware store. I'll have everything I need to do the job. Thanks for your video!!!
My friend's mobile home had a 3 hole kitchen faucet. I borrowed a plumbers flip sliding wrench. Didn't have much luck. I had to go home and get my 1⅛" Mac crowsfoot. It'll fit most faucet nuts & toilet supply lines. Perfect fit for the older hex nuts. It'll catch the newer 4 wing plastic nuts. It won't fit the ones under the faucet base. (The top nuts) I had to use pump plyers. My new faucet said to use a silicone or latex based sealant when installing on the new threads. Pipe dope or plumbers putty will ruin the plastic. That's a first. Teflon tape will only work if you can get a super thin layer. It can split the nuts if you put too much. Silicone it is. You need to let it sit a few hours before turning the water on. Check for drips. I was good.
Lol, go back to the hardware store for longer hose, lmao!!!
straight to the point, the best video for this project on KZread

@samiches2008

Correct! That "cup with a lid" is the plumbers putty that he never used... Yes, he may get water from his faucet, but it wasn't installed properly. Eventually, he will get moisture buildup under the faucet just like his old one had. You can tell by the corrosion. He must have installed the old one, too. Also, he used teflon tape on the threads of a compression fitting. Yep...the internet is full of self-proclaimed experts teaching people the wrong way to do things.

I just so happened to watch an episode of this old house and they used some and was like o ok let me go get some 🤦🏾♀️. I would have never known bc they don't label it in the box or instructions.
Ok. Wish me luck. I’m a 72-year-old little lady and I can and will replace the faucet myself. Boy is it tight under here! Good time to clean under this sink. Don’t even know what half these chemicals are. Lol. Well, here goes.

STEP 14....! MAKE SURE YOU PUT PIPE DOE ON THE PIPES BEFORE CONNECTING THE THE HOSE ON SO YOU WON'T HAVE ANY WATER LEAKS !!!!!!!🙂 IT'S VERY IMPORTANT !!!!!!! SO YOU WON'T HAVE ANY WATER LEAKS !!!!!
Outstanding great video
Dude, thank you. Freaking Home Depot’s video was unnecessarily long. Didn’t watch but a few seconds of it. Yours was short and funny.
Great video
oh a real note, thank you so much for this video. Woke up, went to fill my coffee maker, realized my cold tap broke, spun freely..... i just want a coffee....
Sorry for being a stickler, but around the 2:43 minute mark, you can see that they put the Pipe Thread sealer tape (white material on the thread) in the wrong direction. You can tell, because as he is tightening, you can see the white tape coming off. Sure, it will not matter that much as these don't carry much pressure, but with higher pressure you will get a leak.
Mine sprung a leak at the same spot, contacted Moen, they sent me a new spout free of charge and the faucet is now like new. 👍
A basin wrench is great tool to have for the "long reaches". It works at any angle and makes it a breeze. Will set you back about $12.
Thanks. The video really helped out. No problems
I like the way you say the steps lol step fiiiiiiive. I really don't wanna change this faucet.

Okay, am scanning comments to see if this was asked, but gave up. Do you need to put silicone sealant around or under the faucet on top? I bought that exact same faucet from someone who was redoing theirs so I have a nearly new Moen faucet, but no instructions, thank goodness, except for your video. So silicone? Yes/No? And just around the edge, or underneath the plastic piece too?
This was informative and entertain...and Hilarious!😂😄😂😄Thanks!!!!!
