You just saved me from paying someone else to do it. Thank you!!!!! I also love the solutions you gave as well. No one ever tells you problems you can run into.

I also love that you showed everyone how to problem solve. Very detailed, clear, and honest explanations. Most people show direct replacement under ideal circumstances. This was very helpful and much appreciated!!

I’m 15 years old and I’m trying to do home improvements as my dad no longer does them in a timely manner. This is by far the most informative video I’ve found and feel confident in myself to be able to replace the shower components we have that are definitely rusting behind. I know how to sauter because thankfully I did a project involving it. As my dad is a heavy duty mechanic we have literally everything needed to finish this project except the drain tool which is pretty cheap. I’m hoping this will be a nice improvement for my mom as it really needs to be replaced… Thank you for posting this video it means a lot!

I loved that you showed the problem solving that went behind this. No Hollywood-production where everything goes perfectly, and yet you made it all work!

Our 25 year old bathroom just got a great upgrade!

I just came over from watching the full process of changing the valve too on Home Depot and I lost all confidence. I thought it'd be as simple as changing the superficial components. Thank you for the video!

Thanks... perfect explanations... The "Double-ended tub wrench" will be added to my list of tools that I will probably only use once in my entire life. Who didn't see that coming?!?!

I love hearing your kids in the background! Very helpful for reaffirming the lessons from my Pop!

You are awesome. You are a good teacher. You gave me the confidence to do this work by myself.

Thanks for giving the full conversion from top to bottom with extra info. No need to browse all around for each part.

Thanks for such a thorough and realistic video. I love that you showed the removal and install for every single part, and explained what pieces might be tight and difficult to remove. A lot of videos are filmed on sets with brand new, hand tightened hardware, and when the repair guy effortlessly removes something that’s not budging for me it makes me wonder if my situation is different and if I’m going to break something by continuing. Kudos to the camera operator too. I was just going to replace my decaying shower head because I thought the rest would be too difficult, but now I think I can replace all this grungy gross decades old hardware myself, with something really pretty and clean.

Thank you so much, sir, for responding. I recently lost my adult son :( 😭 ; I will be looking to you for help/advice with the things I need to do myself. Once again, sir, I thank you for your patience and kindness. 💙

Great job explaining what hiccups can happen. I'm a 50 year old female so I don't have the strength I used to. Now I am confident I can do the install myself. Thank you!

I appreciate your video and the time you took to make it. I've put off changing my shower fixtures out because I thought it was harder than it actually is. Watching your video gave me the confidence to remove all my hardware and now I am now heading to the store to buy new ones to install.

Such a thorough explanation of all the steps and potential alternatives. Thank you so for sharing your knowledge..

Great video. I really appreciated you explaining all of the potential options as well as saying what you were going to do ahead of time and then watching you do it. It helps me anticipate the action and simply watch it vs trying to listen, understand and watch all at the same time. I look forward to more videos. 🎉

Great video! I’m confident I can now tackle replacing my shower/tub fixtures. I didn’t realize it could be this easy.

This video and the one by LEARNINGCORD...The combination of the two saved me a lot of money. I did the job myself, changed trim plate, handle, shower arm, tub spout, drain and the cartridge. Thanks a million guys, you're awesome.

Good thing the rough-in valve matched the new trim. I just replaced an 18 year old valve that I could not get parts for with a Delta that uses their universal rough-in valve. It was installed on an exterior wall, so no rear access. Cut it out with a reciprocating saw. Took forever to clean the old solder off the supply lines and the shower riser and tub pipes, enough to be able to get the new threaded fittings on. I split the job up over two days. In between, capped the supply lines with SharkBite end caps so I could turn the water back on. Not a fun job, but I saved a bunch of money doing it myself.

Thank you so much for this video! I thought I would have to hire a plumber to change out these but turns out it’s so doable and I’m saving a lot of money. Just a note I was unable to find the same brand of the trim plate (and each brand has a different valve so they are not all compatible and standard). Got discouraged at first but after doing some research I actually painted it to match the rest of the new shower fixtures. Lots of great online tutorials for this!

Great video! One alternative to soldering the pipe would be to purchase a matching tub spout that slides over the copper pipe, just like the old spout. I got a Plumb Works model PF0578-BN-PS from Menards. It turns out that the Plumb Works spout has the same connection as the new Moens spout, except that it also comes with an adapter for the pipe! I was able to use that adapter with the Moen spout... so I didn't even use the Plumb Works spout. It was super easy to install. A resourceful person might be able to locate a pipe adapter (without a spout) and save a few dollars. But the Plumb Works spout was pretty cheap.

This was so helpful! I just started painting my bathroom and to change the hardware in the tub. I may call the plumber because of the strength it takes to turn the shower head and the stopper. I will buy the hardware. Thank you! 😊💪🏾

This video was very self-explanatory and informative. Great video

Great video. It helped me to make the decision to do it myself rather than call the plumber, and saved money. Thanks!

I pray when I take mine off it’s already threaded if I need that. Thanks for this! You saved me some money!

I'm so happy that you didn't use that shark bite!

Good video, dude. A solid 8/10 on the “Dad Scale” 😎👍

thank you! this was really helpful and i feel ready to tackle my bathtub!

This was a great video. It taught me a lot- that I have to pay the $$ to have my 2. Shower systems changed out.

Great details with options. I really appreciate the time you took to explain everything in detail. Very helpful

Awesome video!!! I feel confident that I can do this! Now, change out the toilet flush handle and you're complete! Thanks for this video!

Very good video! I’ll be trying this out next week. Appreciate your time and effort into making this for people like me!

This was great! Thanks for being so detailed. I’m going to attempt to do this myself. Thank you!

Super thorough thanks for covering all the bases on this DIY!!

Awesome video, thank you!!!

Thank you!!

Best video I’ve seen to date. Bravo

THANK YOU FOR TEACHING US HOW!!!

Best video!! Very thorough.

Ess-CUTCH-eon plate

I think I just found my summer plans! lol thank you!

Thanks for doing all three!

I’m just going to call a plumber because I’m scared to do this. This video was super helpful.

Absolutely excellent video! You are thorough and a very good teacher!

incredible video, thank you!

Thank you so much for the easy instructions! 👍🏽

Thank you so much, ready to go tackle my tub!

Very helpful! Thank you.

Great video and information. Explained very well, thank you!

Amazing video thank you very helpful

Great video. Just what I needed to know.

This was an awesome video. I have this brand for my bathroom sink. I’m looking to put the same for my tub as well 👌🏾

Thanx you for your tip. This is exactly what I am looking for

Dude! this was helpful!!! very detailed!

Great video. Very informative and real world.

Fantastic job man!!!!

Huge help. Thanks for posting this

Thank you. Very understandable

This was a great video. Going to attempt to do this exact remodel today.

Excellent explanation 👌 👏 👍

Super helpful, thank you

Omg you made my life so much easier🤗

Great video! Thank you for the information!

Just got that set. It's nice. Too bad I had to modify every valve piece cause my old house was never updated to a posi temp valve.

Thank you! You are awesome!!

Thank you! Hopefully mine change out will be as simple

I know the video has nothing to do with it but its the 1st thing that caught my eye immediately. And its that shower insert, they look so cheap and these companies charge wayyy to much to just drop em over your old tub

For the shower head pipe, just wrap a piece of cloth or some duct tape around the pipe to protect it when you use the channel locks on it.

I would go ahead and put the new valve insert so you have new seals. It’s an easy process and requires no soldering. Just need to turn the water off temporarily

Great video. Super helpful!!

Excellent video

Awesome Now I will try mine

Thank you brother, very informative

This was super helpful! Only question I have is my old shower faucet set up is delta... I bought Moen and when I went to replace the handle, the delta handle is much larger... is there an easy way to change this out? Or do I have to change the whole valve too?

Thank you for this video

A rubber or leather strap wrench would be perfect for this.

Thank you!

This was extremely helpful!

Thanks

Very helpful thanks

For the drain. Can you use both the gasket and silicone?

What if the screws don’t match where the handle is? Is there an adapter?

I'm dealing with the sharkbite issue currently. The diverter in the tub spout broke, so I need to replace it. But it just spins when we try to remove it. I'm going to have to saw into the spout in order to get to the sharkbite end 😒

Do you know what size hex screws do you need it to unscrew that?

Just wondering, why use silicone caulk vs plumbers putty on the drain?

If my existing handle is wiggley and i buy a new set like yours will the new handle be tight or is it the hardware of the old one thatll make the new one still loose thanks.

Thanks a lot for this DIY video. I have the MOEN 82304SRN installed. However, my lever handle is sticking out 2in from the trim cover. Do you know of any solution to help?

Good vid. Thank you!

Super helpful tysm😊😊

Nice!

What about the tub drain grate? How do you get part to match it?

This video was really good. Thank you for all the links. I like the way you describe all the steps.

Hey! Love your video, thank you! With the tub drain, how do you know if you need the bushing or gasket? How did you know you needed the bushing? I hope I’m spelling those right lol

Good info!

This video may be 3 years old but I learned so much! Thank you! I feel like I can do this now! :) Excellent job teaching!

Set screw is 7/64 and if you shut off the water to this faucet you can crank open the faucet so you're looking DOWN directly at the set screw instead of trying to push up and turn also that part that looks like you simply pull off the handle.... expect to use force you really have to yank it if your faucet is older and you "probably" won't break anything but hey you're renovating so yeah money.

good video..thanks. hope this project goes as well for me. only issue is my drain valve is the handle kind. i suppose a push valve at the drain can be used instead and just put the cover on the overflow. agree? comment?

Can you tell me the length of the tub spout what it should be after I solder on the other pipe and the adapter

At any point did you have to turn the water off and do you have a video explaining it you have to update the faucet valve? Thank you for the informative video. It was done really well 😊

Hi, how do you know what fixtures to buy that will fit the current valve you have?
