Hello TheHappyDIYGuy-ri8nb, Let's put it this way. I would rather have my plumbing fixtures working than not. You are suppose to get your septic tank cleaned out every five years....standard practice. I live outside the city where there are hundreds (more like thousands) of septic tanks and not a single soul is ever worried about hair going into their tank. If the drain does not plug and runs continuously with no issues the hair goes down the drain anyway. The cost of getting the tank pumped is around $350 Canadian. I worry more about grease going down a kitchen drain than hair. Believe me I have been at this for over for decades and grease can be a nightmare as you probably know. Thanks for commenting and have a great week! Al

Hello A3FunFam, You're welcome! I am glad everything worked out for you! And congrats on the repair! It works on almost all tub drains. Same procedure can be applied to a bathroom basin. Plug the overflow and use the plunger on the drain. Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

Hello daveheiskala7007, You're welcome! Glad to hear the video helped! We all have those moments. As I get older I seem to have more of them! LOL! Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

Hello catforker, You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully it helps with any future repairs! Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

Hello imjimimack, When I made my videos I put annotations on all of them from start to finish using youtubes set up. The first one was always turn the water off before working on any faucet or waterline. A few years ago youtube removed all annotations on all videos. Any you see on videos on youtube now are put on using editing software. Many people I would assume do not know how to or know that it is necessary to turn off the water. I get that question from time to time. I am going to go through all my videos in the near future and add this as the top comment which will stay in place. I appreciate your comment and enjoy your week! Al

@@TheOldkid888 Found them! Thank you!!!!

Hello anthonydf2003, I have used this methods hundreds of times over the past four decades with great success. Biggest thing when using a plunger on a drain is to make sure the overflow is sealed off. This same method works on bathroom sinks as well. I generally use an old cloth and plug the over flow while I use the plunger on the drain. Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

Hello douglasjackson9058, My apologize for the late response. You MUST turn the water supply before you make the repair and open the faucet as well to drain the pressure. Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

Hello JackO024, That's great to hear! Congrats on the repair! I tend to stay away from the chemicals. Not good for your health or the environment. Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

Hello thesteveshowfoodfestroadtest, I am glad to hear the video helped you out! A little teflon goes a long way. I always add a little to the seats of faucets before I install them. Congrats on the repair! Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

Hello 2bnax, Sorry, I can't give you the answer for that. I strictly stick to the plumbing end of things. Hvac is its own trade. Thanks for commenting and best of luck with your install! Al

@@TheOldkid888 thanks!!

Hello wmharris9084, You can also call their 1-800 number if your faucet has been installed in the past five years they will mail it at no cost. Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

Hello wmharris9084, Removing the cartridge can be difficult at times and it really depends on water quality. I have had some that are removed easily and others that are a struggle. Sorry you had trouble with yours! Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

Hello maniacmike56, You're welcome! That's good to know. I appreciate the update! Hopefully the job goes well and the springs and rubber inserts work for you! Thanks for commenting and best of luck with the repair! Al

@@TheOldkid888 Well, it did'nt go well. Stripped the Allen key screw. I took my time and pepared. I put CLR and got it clean, then some penetrating fluid for an hour. I got the screw to move a couple of times, but the top is stripped now. handle is a little bit loose, but oh well.

Hello velascojidon390, Hopefully it helps with the project! Thanks for the thumbs up and enjoy your week! Al

Hello vjglucky7, Sounds like a cinch tool was used. If so you can use a pair of side cutters and pinch it a little bit at a time.. Hopefully this helps! Thanks for commenting and best of luck with the project! Al

Hello Butteredmage, Congrats on the repair! Nice to have that behind you! Thanks for the shout out and enjoy your week! Al

Hello pedropdm0101, I have a few in the box and I generally use the 1/2" for situations such as this.3/8th can possibly work as well you just have to make sure the tool is perfectly straight when you are turning it, but my go to is 1/2. They generally come in a set although you can purchase them individually as well. Hope this helps. Thanks for commenting and best of luck with the project! Al

Hello benreavely4891, You're welcome! Hopefully it helps with the project! Thanks for the kind words and enjoy your week! Al

Hello user-ds8gq8mf8v, I have run into a few situations like you have mentioned. I am a Moen fan myself. Really like their products! Should be a spokesman for them!!! LOL At times Moen can be difficult to replace parts, but not nearly as tough as Delta in my personal opinion. A lot depends on water quality. Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

Hello GMC6969, You're welcome! One thing about plumbing, somethings never change. outside faucets are a good example. Hopefully it helps! Thanks for commenting and best of luck with the project! Al

Hello GMC6969, You're welcome! Somethings in plumbing never change and this is a good example of one! A little grade is towards the outside is key! You don't want any water lingering in the faucet! That's where there will be a problem with freezing. Thanks for the kind words and enjoy your week! Al

Hello elsagonzalez5004, You're welcome! I am glad the video helped! I generally take a refresher in most of the projects I tackle other than plumbing. For some reason the old brain doesn't remember like it use to. LOL CONGRATS on the repairs! Thanks for the kind words and enjoy your day! Al

Hello vanessasam6630, I guess that would depend on what kind of shape the wall is in. Generally if the water has been running inside the wall for a long period of time and there is tile on the wall it gets soft underneath the spout and you get into a project by having to replace the gyproc and tile. I usually go with gyproc, Schluter than tile.Hopefully in your case it isn't that bad. The only way I can think of is to use a dehumidifier and let it run for a number of days. It will take some time, but it will work. Hope this helps! Thanks for commenting and enjoy your day! Al

Hello Squig8, I am glad to hear that everything worked out for you! A little elbow grease goes a long way. I never use chemicals and one of the reasons is if I have to take the drain apart under the sink to put a snake I will be dealing with toxic chemicals which could cause some serious issues. Not at all good for the environment as well! I have seen a few people with chemical burns from drain cleaners. Congrats on the repair and enjoy your day! Al

Hello colleenlloyd2331, The valve I installed in the video was a ball valve 1/4 turn. They work great as long as you don't have any heavy mineralized water. I use ball valves whenever possible. Thanks for commenting and enjoy your day! Al

Hello gpstoddard, You're welcome! Here is one number that I found...Aqua-Dynamic Closet Floor Flange 3 Inch Inside Fit Plastic Model # 3494-001 This is just one number. If you go to your local hardware store or big box store they should carry this flange as it is quite popular. Thanks for commenting and best of luck with the project! Al

Hello frankyu6984, Lots going on with that scenario. It doesn't really add any pressure or suction on the drain itself. Placing the stopper allows the force of the plunger to work on the drain. It works on most plugged drains unless there is a large amount of grease that has gone down it. Thanks for commenting and enjoy your day! Al

Hello deborahfairbanks4012, You are more than welcome! Hopefully it helped with your situation. Thanks for commenting and enjoy your day! Al

Hello diefordethklok3711, You can pick them up on amazon for as little as $21 dollars if you have prime. You could also ask at your local hardware store if they have any free cartridges. I know many of them trade the old cartridge for the new. Hope this helps! Thanks for commenting and enjoy your day! Al
