IT WORKED!!!!! Thank you so much for your teaching. Made me look like a super hero to my family. God bless you!

I have been complaining about water pouring out of the faucet handles for years and my landlord has not fixed. Going to do it myself now. Thanks so much for the video.

Thank you!! I replaced my washer for the hot water faucet today. Your video was so simple. I used to be afraid of plumbing, not anymore!!

Thank you SOOOO Much!! You just saved me $200+ for a repair not to mention my time to wait for a repairman. Both of my handles were leaking, I followed your video and found that it was just the screws that hold the cartridge into place, tightened them up and no more leaks...Total repair time 7 minutes Total savings and gratitude to you, priceless!!! :)

Very meticulous, gentle and easily understood. Despite the unclear audio. Thank you

The tip of my water valve stem broke when I was turning the knob, but this video helped me replace said water valve stem.

It all looks so easy on KZfaq. I never get ahead of the game on repairs. Will watch this again and again and see if I can do it. I am losing a lot of water with the dripping every day. Subscribed and hopefully I can do it.

No BS straight to the point very good video. Thanks.

Thank you for clear precise instructions! My "new" old house is undergoing many repairs, but a leaky faucet was one problem I have never encountered. Problem fixed in just matter of minutes! THANK YOU again!!!!

This is exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks so much!

Thank you so much, the dripping was driving me nuts.

Im glad you showed me the type of leak that happens when you turn on the shower. I believe I have a leak coming from the cold side and the middle now. I will be making a trip up Ace hardware tomorrow!! Thanks a million!!!

Thank you for the detailed instructions. More power to you!!

I did follow this video and fixed our shower handle leak , it was exactly the same , so thank you for helping the plumber wanted $720.00 to fix leak , I bought those tools you showed and the assorted rubber washers at home depot for total of $52.00 Dollars !!!!!!!!

All DIY vids should be like this one...well done!

Yeah this really helped me.. I was really having a challenge and was contemplating getting a Plummer.. that would cost me some much! But I did it myself. Thank you.!!!

I just replaced mine with your help, thanks

Thank you for putting this together and making it available. HUGE help!! And thanks for the heads up on size/faucet manufacturer for that washer - I would have assumed they were all a standard size but I'll take the piece in with me & make sure I get the right one. Probably saved me a trip or two. 👍👍

Thank you for the excellent much needed video

Thank you for this well-presented video. With this information, I was able to fix the problem.

Thank you my friend for this video!

Thank you for helping me I highly appreciate it thank you again 🙂

Your videos are the most helpful I've seen. You make everything clear and easy to follow. Thank you again!

Thank you so much for making this video. This is exactly what is happening to my bathtub Fawcett's.

Great instructional video, short & simple, cheers!!

I’m getting ready to pop off my handles and work on a couple leaks, thank you for this video!

Great video - thanks! very helpful!

Great video ! Thank you so very much for your help in teaching me !

Although the system in our house is a bit different from yours your video helped me a lot in ..... Germany!

Thanks for the video, it helped me fix the shower faucets.

Very helpful, will definitely help me with my problem, thank you.

Quick and easy. Thanks for this!

Thanks for suggestions 😊🙏🏻👍

Single mom with two boys thank you so much the drip was getting heavier and heavier and it was the hot water, I have oil heat and septic tank needed to fix it before it became more expensive rubber washer was completely worn out

Perfect video for a DIY'er like myself. Stopped my leak that I put off for too long.

Replaced my entire assembly. Both cold and hot were leaking. The hot one is fixed but cold still leaks. After watching this I now know to return the leaking one to Lowe's and get another one. Thanks for the video. Never knew that's where the water was coming from.

Hi your video are very clear and easy to understand. Would you be making a video how to fix a leaking diverter valve faucet leak?

Great video. Sometimes the valve will use an o-ring instead of packing. In that case, the valve will not show a packing nut but only the large hex fitting holding the stem. Remove the large hex fitting, unscrew the stem, replace the o-ring (lubricate it with silicone grease) and reassemble. The real problem comes if the valve is recessed inside the wall. In that case, use a deep socket valve wrench to remove the hex fitting.

A perfect video, he keeps it moving, professional

made it simple to understands. thanks

Excellent video! 👍 Thank you

good video sir, i like the way you show step by step thanks for the video..

I'm so grateful with this guy and his channel in abril 2020 I had a very similar problem with my bathroom tube, cause the pandemia i didn't call the plumber I didn't want absolutely nobody in my home others than my family then I just watched this video and solve myself the problem plus I did save money, once again thank you very much for.

Very nicely done. Only thing i would add is recaulking around the cover.

Thank you You make it look easy 🤷‍♀️ Wish me luck !!!

I love to do it myself too, thank you for your video.

Very helpful video! Thank you!

Very helpful, thank you!

Thank you so much…..you saved me so much time.working fine now.

Thank you! My dripping shower had been driving me nuts and this was a great explanation of how to take the handle apart and identify a leak. My faucet looked slightly different but this explanation was good enough to guide me through

This was very helpful. Thank you!

Very good video and great instruction, very helpful, thanks.

Very useful. Thank you.

New subscriber!!! Now to get the guts up to do it!!

Great video thanks. Helps us all so that we can plan for having hopefully the least amount of downtime. :)

Thanks for the info

Excellent video I subscribed!

Great video. Thanks

Very thorough! Thank you😊

Thank you...I was able to fix my leak : disassembled, picked up the new part from Home Depot, reassembled, done and in 20 minutes- including travel time.

Thank you. Didn't have packing handy ended up using two "o" rings instead, worked great.

I'm going to try this Thank you!

Thank you for this man, it really was useful and helped me save a lot. Cheers.

I got a quarter into your video and then stopped my leak. Thanks

Great knowledge put vids This help me see how and what I'm in store for the fix Good job

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this video; it was exactly what I needed. I noticed that there are 106 dislikes. What's not to like! You show how a novice, like me, can save money and get the satisfaction knowing you did it yourself (with a little help). I guess it's true that you can't please all of the people all of the time lol. Keep up the good work. Sincerely. Tim

Thank you

Word of advise....When you turn the water off after the repair to check it, do not turn the handle so tight. Turn it just enough to make the water stop. You already are wearing a groove back into the washer when you turned it so tight. Otherwise, you covered almost everything nicely. Thanks.

Thank you!

Thank you so much this video helped me out a lot

Great Video very helpful overall. I think one important think that was not noted is to be cautious how mush you tighten the packing nut. I would check with a plumber or other source of information to very the appropriate torque specification for your application to avoid causing packing damage thus leaking.

Thanks!

Now I can become Jhonny sir😃

Thank you very much!!

Really great video. Is it considered best practice to fill the faucet hole in the tile wall with plumbers putty, or alternately caulk around the top of the escutcheon, so the water dribbling down the wall doesn't make it's way into the faucet hole and into the inside of the wall?

great video!

I love DYI repair videos that clearly show you what to do and praise you for your time spend making this one. However, when an important step is left out, I feel compelled to add it to the comments section. Why in the world would you take the time to disassemble the valve stem packing assembly, pry out the obviously worn out, leaking packing and then put it back together and WITHOUT REPLACING the packing? This is grossly false economy and any future leakage at the seat will run right back out through the faulty packing into the handle again. Do the job right, do the job once. Do the job wrong, you’ll get to practice it again and again…. Also, while you have the valve stem assembly out you should grab a flashlight and inspect the brass Valve Seat inside the wall that the new washer will press against. Water leaking over time can etch grooves in the seat which will chew up new stem washers in no time and your leak will return. Replaceable valve seats cost a couple of bucks and a cheap ‘Faucet Seat Wrench makes replacing them easy. Non-replaceable valve seats can be conditioned with an inexpensive tool as well. When you are putting everything back together a $1 roll of Teflon tape on threaded surfaces will seal the connection and one roll of tape will last a homeowner a lifetime. ... Set yourself up for success with every repair you do. Valve stem washer, packing and Teflon tape should cost you around $5 to do BOTH hot and cold valves. Valve seats a couple of bucks each if needed. If the valves are back inside of the wall (as most are if tile is installed) and can't be reached with your adjustable wrench then a 'Shower Valve Socket Wrench Assortment' can be purchased at Harbor freight for $11 or at Home Depot or Lowes for $20. If the valve seats are bad the ‘Faucet Seat Wrench’ will set you back around $7. You can also ask your store if they have these tools available for rental or on a ‘Loaner” program. Always take the stems and worn parts to the store with you to assure that you buy the correct maintenance items. Close here doesn't count like in horseshoes. Once the store can identify the make/model of the fixture, many complete replacement valve stem assemblies can be purchased for as little as $8-$18 per side. A little more money, a lot less work and skill needed if you should so desire. If your local home improvement store doesn’t have the correct parts don’t despair. Google for ‘Plumbing Supply Store” near you. Even if they are a wholesale only shop, most of the counter personnel are more than happy to help you out if you’ve done your homework. They are also excellent at identifying the correct replacement parts for you and answering any questions you might have. Lastly, when you reinstall the valve stem assemblies make SURE the hot-water valve (red) is on the left side and the cold-water valve (blue) on the right. Install them backwards and your family will hate you forever or worse, someone could accidentally scald themselves and be injured (yes, it happens). Maintenance workers at apartment buildings are among the worst offenders for this rookie mistake - ask them to come back to your apartment and swap out the valve stem assemblies. Your life will improve immediately. lol I wish each of you the best of success in your DIY repairs!

Good video overall, thank you. Only suggestion is once the valve stem is installed and prior to replacing all the trim pieces is turn the water on to inspect for any leaks that would not be visible once fully assembled.

Good video now I would have replaced the seat as well while there and use Teflon tape on the threads maybe even put some lube so it can turn better. 👍🏻

Nice, very helpful. Would have been nice to see the valve seat replaced too.

1:31 Sounds ❤️❤️❤️

"Turn the water off via the shut off valve"....doesn't show himself turning off the shut off valve, thanks super helpful first step.

Very helpful tutorial video! I replaced a new stem, seat, and spring in the cold Valley faucet handle because the cold water leaking from the spout. I used a Danco part as Valley is out of business: 3Z-6H/C Stems assembly for Valley tub faucet. And yet it didn't fix the problem. Do you have any idea? Thank you.

Thank you ima try this... wish me luck I just need to find the main water line

Thank you for the video. After replacing, the handles are now harder to turn. Which pipe do I turn to loosen them up a bit to make easier to turn on/off?

By the way., I got the job done!!!

nice video

Wow, nice. A dishonest plumber could have told me that the wall needed to be opened up, and I would have had no idea how simple this repair was.

That will be $188. Thank you please call again.😁👍 customer response, what for a gasket? And you say, yes. Good video

Nice 👍

As far as turning off the water. A plumber told me that when replacing washers on bathtubs be sure to turn your whole water supply off and not just for one side. Because of the way that bathtub pipes are connected you will get some water running out on you if you only turn off one side. I turn my water off from the water control in my yard.

Any suggestions when the piece you need to originally use the wrench on is too far behind the wall to get any grip on it? I’ve tried a couple things but just cannot get any grip on it. Not even sure cutting the wall would allow me any more grip. Thank you for your help.

DIY, I turn on the hot water in the tub water leaks out the cold water stem, also when is switch the water from the tub to the shower half the water comes out the shower the other half in to the tub.

Yes ,very helpful although I ran into another issue. Using the adjustable wrench to remove the piece, it would not come off , only spinning loose and could not see why. I could tighten back on but never completely removed. What's next? A hole in the wall behind the plumbing?

Hi! Thank you so much for posting this video. The faucets, knob/handles, and even the wall tiles, are exactly identical to mine. My problem is as follows: I live in a rental basement apartment. My landlord gets very angry when there's any type of repair so I can't tell him about this I need to try to do this myself. The problem is I don't have access to the water main or even it's location. Is it possible to do this without shutting off the main water valve? If I tried, what would happen?

Set screws should be on the bottom, always out of sight. It's nit. Nice job!

Hi! Great video - is turning off the water from valve really necessary? I live in an apartment complex, they're not going to turn off water for me to fix this 😐

Good. I em going to. Fix. Mine It's. Leaking. Real bad. Thanks.

Awesome

This is a great video. I am buying a house where the tub stopper doesn't work and the handles are leaking water. The shower diverter is also leaking. Will this same fix for the H/C handles work for the diverter? Thanks in advance!!
