Thank you so much for this very informative video. My sink has been down for 3 weeks. Every time I go to Home Depot there's no one that can help me on the aisle so I have to ask plumbers that are buying things. I haven't been able to see up close until I watched your video and I really appreciate it. I'm 64, female and my dad was a plumber but I only know how to do basic toilet fixing things. I just put a new garbage disposal in but I took it back out because now I don't necessarily want to have one. So your video came in perfectly on time. And again thank you so much for posting.

Tape really does help. I have used the tape method to "control" unnecessary cracking or chipping when cutting and it works most of the time. Many homeowners do not have the money or sometimes the time to go get new blades or new/special tools and need to use what they have. In this case, yes the sink will cover up the cut area so no tape is needed. For DIY homeowners, tape can be a very useful tool. It is always good to try because at the end of the day, you spent 25 cents on tape but it did not work or you spent 25 cents on tape to make your project look better.

It's easier to put on all sink components before you drop the sink and put plumbers putty on drain baskets

always glue both pieces when fitting a pipe joint, and plumbers putty works just fine for enameled cast iron under the faucet skirt with the added benefit of not gluing the faucet to the sink.

Excellent instructional video and well produced. I learned one additional trick on installing a new sink and faucet watching videos like this. Attach as much as you can before setting the sink in place, which usually means the faucet and possibly the garbage disposal, especially the faucet which is much harder to get to. But, you still have to get up under there to make final adjustments and tightening. Thanks again.

"This is where we play the Jeopardy music...." Love the sense of humor and the smiles it brings as I listen. Not to mention that the content of the video, the steps taken, process is what I need to complete a successful job. Thank you.

Jeff, new subscriber here. I have watched several of your videos and I have to say all your instructions are clear and all your commentaries while you do redundant things are insightful and beneficial. Because of your approach in teaching and video editing, your videos are not unnecessarily long where it is boring and never too short where there is not enough detail to know what you are actually doing. Bravo Jeff! Appreciate very much from a subscriber from Kansas City, USA. Thank you.

Andrew Ong completely agree!

Just a quick suggestion about using an adjustable wrench, hold so that you are pulling against the short jaw and the channel lock will work with you so that it doesn't slip.

I was hoping for a larger view of the finished installation. The sink definitely has character.

You're right about not being a plumber, they would never install a basket strainer without seating it in plumber's putty.

plumbers putty needs to go around the drains.. great vid bro

I had a plumber put quarter turn shut off valves on EVERYTHING 😉

I have it on my garden hose faucet. ( spigot )

should have rounded the corners when you resized the hole for the sink, would give you a lot less chance of the counter cracking/splitting at the 90` corners.

Always caulk the underside of sink rim before dropping the sink in. There will be no way to caulk behind the tap deck once installed, and that area is the most prone to water infiltration.

"I have this horrible habit of buying things I don't need." You and me, BOTH, dude! 😁

Any reason you didn't use plumbers putty on drains? Maybe I missed something?

I would have liked seeing the shimming process under the sink, since it was going to be crucial to carry the weight of that heavy sink. I love your videos and appreciate that you try to use more common homeowner tools. Do you have a preferred brand of cordless, brushless drill/impact driver combo?

Great video as always. You cover everything I need to know in a home.

You could have left the faucet on the sink, when you removed it.and you could have mounted the new faucet, and basket drains, before you dropped in the new sink.it would have saved you all that work on your back underneath.

do u require a drain vent under the sink? what about the pipe running from sink to sink should that be on a slope of 1/4" per foot and the pipe that runs from the last sink to drain pipe is it also sloped?

Did you seal the drain flanges inside the sink with plumber's putty?

Lol. Best part of the video? The three little tomato’s sitting on the window sill. They just chillen 🤣

Great video, just a couple of tips, always check the clearance of the faucet to the window sill/trim, many times the faucet will not fit because of this. 2nd a drain clean out is always recommended under a kitchen sink. Actually in Ontario it is code to have a clean out before and after the trap, on an island sink trap such as you have there.

My baskets keep leaking replaced putty and gasket numerous times want stop. I need help

I'm installing a dual tub cast-iron sink that weighs a ton. It has no way to do clips on the bottom. Do I just put plumber's putty under the lip and let gravity hold it down only? Or leave it the putty and only silicone the edges?

hey, love your videos, question to ask. Maybe a dumb question, u showed u connected the faucet pipe to the water pipe, it was only one pipe, not sure if it was the cold or how water pipe, what happened to the other pipe, since u have to connect to both the hot and cold ones? thanks

Another fine and informative video.

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

How did you seal the sink to the countertop?

I love watching your videos.

I'm watching this video to show my husband and my brother. WE live in a manufactured home. The size of the sink is 33 x 19. Most sinks are 33 x 22. I'm hoping this is the way we can make a regular sink work. I want a single basin, granite sink.

I wish this video was around years ago when we switched out our kitchen sink! We did a horrible job and it took forever since we had no clue what we were doing.

Me too, however the cast iron sink weighs about 150 lbs and i didn't want to take the chance of pinching the lines.

If it was a thin gauge metal sink, couldn't you use a thick plastic washer as spacer to install faucet? To take up extra room needed for threads.

Very helpful, thank you!

Also, don’t forget= change that outlet on the left to a GFCI!

GFCI outlets are expensive, if it's on the load end of another GFCI outlet there's no need, the GFCI outlet up line from the outlet will trip in the event of a short. No need for another $28 outlet.

I have granite counter tops. How do you change double sinks with garbage disposal to a single sink with garbage disposal?

make sure you only apply silicone to the left side of the sink. very important

Is ABS for drain pipes code in your area? Usually I see white PVC.

I like the background music.

was your new sink 33X22? Was the 31 1/4x19 1/2 the inside dimension of the hole? Or, was there just a 1/2" difference between the sink edge and the hole? I'm getting ready to place a 33"x22" heavy enameled cast iron sink and don't know exactly how much difference I need between the hole and sink edge. No template, I'm using granite tiles that have to be glued down, prior, so can';t make a mistake

Thank you for video.

@@grandmasoffgridliving what would the gasket seal then? The metal cup? No, it is not a drainage area where waste will come down. To be fair though, usually you want to use the supplied gaskets if possible, but with cast iron the holes aren't as fitted like a stainless steel sink so plumbers putty is probably a better choice.

Thanks Thomas I have started doing this as well. My local building store doesn't carry the best abs for solvents. It seems to work better now.

It’s gonna leak around the edges of the sink. Water will infiltrate under it. Period. He did say to use clear silicone caulking. There are other sealants, but if one isn’t used it will leak.

Should really invest in some protection on the countertop slamming all them tools and sink on it surprised it didn't get damaged.
