Not being the greatest fix-it man as I wasn't taught by my dad ; watching your video was most informative. Now I know what I need to fix the annoying leak is a set of rings and that silicone lubricant, I am going to search which hardware stores have these items , as we have Ace, Home Depot, and a Loews in my area. I'm still going to have to have some help from my Church brothers, though , as I have very bad arthritis in my joints. But I can at least get the materials we'll need for this easy project ! Thanks for your channel and clear, no-nonsense detailed step- by- step instructions, Sir. And thanks KZfaq for posting this 😊.
@RoscoReviews9 ай бұрын
Glad I could help! All of those hardware stores should have what you need. The Lowe’s and Home Depot where I live probably have a better selection than the Ace keeps in stock. There are a range of sizes, so you will need to know the brand and model if you are going to try to purchase the specific size you need (this usually cost 1-2 dollars) or you can buy a variety pack that has a bunch of sizes (this usually runs more like $10)

Couple extra tips: 1. A pick works better than a screwdriver to remove the o-rings. Less potential damage to the groove and easier removal of the o-ring. 2. Silicone in the groove BEFORE re-installing the o-ring allows better silicone coverage. 3. Soak the chrome parts (spout, retainer ring, etc.) in vinegar to remove the scale and deposits so it looks better and functions better. Any scale left inside the spout where water has been leaking past the o-rings will tear up the new o-rings faster.

Reminds me of my old builders grade sink and faucet that came with my house as new construction in 1980. Instead of repairing the leaky faucet I bought a new cast iron Kohler sink and a new Kraus faucet. Removed the old sink and faucet as a unit and had the new sink and faucet already hooked up. All I had to do was apply some plumbers putty along the perimeter of the countertop, drop the sink in place and make the connections to the water shutoff valves. So much easier than crawling under the sink trying to remove the hardware for the faucet.

Thanks. I have the same model and after 40 yrs of use it’s starting to leak around the base. I have seen some people push up the handle as they run the water and that is a No No. Release your hand from the handle when the water is running. The pressure on the handle causes more problems down the road. Also put something in the sink tub like a cloth to keep small parts from falling into the drain. Lesson learned on that here. Thanks again

Beautiful stuff. I am now a subscriber. Two things I liked about the video: 1. No background music while you were talking and explaining everything. That allowed me to watch and listen and pay attention to what you were saying. I wish all YT would knock it off with background music when they are talking. It is extremely distracting and annoying. I've been told people like the music. Beats me as to why. Unless it is a music video or a dance video, we don't need any music to listen to an aviation person telling us about aviation incidents and related matters or a DIY channel when the host tells us how to do something. 2. You explained the process in clear and easy-to-understand steps to the point that I was thinking, hey, even I could do it. I bought a house and will be moving later on this month, so I am hoping to not to have to use this skill for a while. But it is good to know about. Thank you.

Thank you very much. I want to point out when I took the top o ring out, it was extremely loose. Not knowing that its expansion after years of use was the cause of the leak, I went out to buy an "identical" ring only to find that it does not solve the leak problem. Fortunately, someone from Home Depot later gave me the correct size for free and told me about the expansion and I finally stop the leak.

To remove the collar off of the top, it depends on the brand of faucet. Sometimes there is a hexagon shape on top that you can grab with a crescent tench. But, often it’s a smooth sort of dome shape. This will take a pipe wrench or a pair of adjustable pliers large enough to grab it.

I've re-greased some of them after ten years or so and not noticed any unusual degradation. CRC Lanocote for example seem to be pretty adamant it doesn't harm rubber or neoprene and contains no acids so for myself I'm happy to carry on using it because of its superior longevity. However if that's what the chart says it would be prudent to follow its recommendation.

If you can't find a suitable o-ring replacement just wrap some Teflon tape around the area where the o-ring goes (after cleaning the o-ring area). Reinstall the o-ring and the Teflon tape will account for the o-ring wear and make the o-ring usable for at least a few more years.

I looked very closely at the top part of my leaky kitchen faucet, and I can’t find that little pin that you’re supposed to loosen first to start what’s supposed to be an easy repair ! My doctor says you can also use Vaseline jelly on the O-rings when I’m replacing them ? Is he correct? My local Ave hardware said to bring in the old rings and they’re pretty sure they have them in stock. They also told me that O-rings come in hundreds of sizes, so it’s important to make sure you get the right size. BTW my old faucet is a Moen brand if that really matters.
@RoscoReviews9 ай бұрын
Moen is a good brand. I highly recommend them. Some of the Moens the screw is on the top. The top cap pops off and there is a screw underneath it. Most hardware stores keep a good selection of sizes. Vaseline is probably better than nothing. The hardware store should have the silicone grease too, and it’s pretty cheap.

If there's water leaking then the cartidge probably should be replaced. There should be no water getting in there and the O-ring replacement might be temporary. Moen and Delta give free replacements of the cartidge - bring the one you take out to Home Depot and they provide the cartridge at no cost or call the manufacturer. The Moen replacement include a new cap and Allen wrench. The Allen key that worked for me is 3/32".

Any recommendations if the screw for the Allen wrench is stripped?

You could try the rubber band trick. Where you sort of shove a rubber band (needs to be the wider kind) between the Allen wrench and the screw. Then it will have the rubber in there to help it grab. Another option would be to put a little bit of supper glue on the end of the wrench. Stick it in there and wait a few minutes for it to set up. Then try to unscrew it. If that works you will probably have to throw out the screw. But if it’s stripped than you probably don’t want it back in there anyway.

I love the way that Allen screw came right out. Well, I have been trying every way suggested to turn a stuck Allen screw. But I have not tried a drill bit to start a hole and then use a left-handed screw to withdraw the Allen screw. Does that sound right to you ? Otherwise, it looks like I'll just have to buy one whole new faucet, ouch, $$. Thanks for your suggestions, Art

I’ve had those set screws be pretty stubborn. If you have an Allen head screw that is stripped out, then a removal tool is probably the best bet. And I think that is what you are referring to when you say left handed screw. I wouldn’t think you would need to drill it first though. I would turn to the drill after the removal tool didn’t work.

A torx bit worked better for me than the Alan wrench

Very helpful video. I had to call a plumber because the seals were shot and frankly easier to replace the whole unit than obtain the seals and i was under pressure. Frankly not impressed with the design of the taps.

Yeah. Sometimes, depending on the age of the unit, it’s easier to replace the whole thing than to try to fix it.
