I appreciate this so much. I a 64 year old woman that has to do many repairs myself. This looks like something I could handle. Thank you!

Thank you! I had an idea of how it could be, and ya, this really gave me a peace of mind. Haha. Thanks again!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. You're awesome my very first time installing a toilet valve, and it was perfect. I love ❤️.

Thank you, first video that explained the purpose of color rings on my new flapper (that was closing too fast)...Looked everywhere for an answer until I saw your explanation... Water flow restriction!!!

Thank you!

Thank you so much. I needed to understand the drain we have in our new shower stall. I have to clean the pipe as it is backing up. The problem I am having is getting the cover off. It is stuck on that. I am afraid our contractor, who installed the shower may have glued the cover on. He also didn't level the cement floor underneath but that is a separate issue altogether. Is it typically stiff to take off? the drain cover. I do not want to break it. The contractor didn't leave that metal rectangular tool in the drain either. So I have to purchase that tool you mentioned with the four prongs. How do we take the drain cover off please?

Thank u so much

Thank you! Very helpful!

Good job

I thought this was a great video. My problem is the old bathtub spout the plastic inside the old spout is STUCK on the copper pipe and wont come off period. Having a very hard time with it.

thanks mam

Thanks, great job.

I watched another video that was not helpful at all! Thank you so much for this step-by-step video and explanations of your product. Great job, Mike at Plumbing Supply!

Anybody noticed how she actually "OPENED" the water valve? She turned the nob to the left which is opening. She must of closed the main water supply in the house.

Thanks for the video, just as I was looking for.

This is the best video on the topic by far. Every other video says, just change the flapper, problem solved. Or replace the whole contraption. Flush Valve Repair Kit - Repair a Leaking Toilet - Fluidmaster 5 Minute Fix ua-cam.com/video/fo2PxCHAukM/v-deo.html

This was a great video. Precise and to the point. No rambling on with pointless rhetoric. Thank you so much!!!

Thanks so much! The “righty tightly lefty loosy reverse” just made me realize I don’t have to replace my handle after all! I kept trying to tighten the nut but was actually loosening it and thought it was stripped. Turned it to the left and it tightened right up. Who knew? Man I feel dumb. Now I can take the handle I bought back to Home Depot.

How do you know the shower arm is in tight enough ... mine is only turning 3 times

What's the spout with the hand held diverter attached to it call and where can i find it?

Thank you so much! I have one just like the second one you showed but mine does not have a set screw so I don’t know how to remove it... it feels pretty solid Don’t know if I should try twisting it off or if it comes off by pulling it ??? Please help thanks in advance

They make waxless rings for less than 12 bucks, and come with a spacer. Worth it.

very nice

What do I do if the shower arm is SMOKED down on the threads? This thing won't even BUDGE.

Some notes: If you are strong, removal of the tank is not necessary. I never take the tank off unless it is leaking. Also, this is just my opinion, after having installed hundreds of toilets, I have never seen a sub-flush ring cause a wobble. If the bolts are being held securely, the downward pressure transmitted through the flange of the toilet base to the floor will hold it securely. In a case like this, I would have simply stacked wax or waxless seals. Also, most wax seals now come with a "horn" integrated. in this case I would have dropped a ring with horn into the hole, then stacked a hornless ring on top. I know they say you should always put them on the bottom of the toilet, but I don't, and I've never had one leak for that reason. Also, as noted above, it would have been good practice to scrape off the old caulk line while the bowl was off, and apply new caulking for added insurance against rocking, and to seal against dripping urine seeping under the toilet when guys have bad aim. I see no problem with adding the extender he did, other than I have definitely had rocking caused by a ring that was above flush to the floor. That wasn't a problem this time though.

Great Video!

That was Great! You're Awesome. Thanks

I know how to do this, but the new shower arm directions called for 2-3 wraps of PTFE tape, which I feel is not enough. I think it is always good to see a refresher video b-4 doing this task. btw, my old shower arm has some of the thread broken off when I moved in. Putting on new arm b-4 installing a new shower head and filter. My old one only needed a nudge with my small pipe wrench to get it loose. There was old pipe dope on the old arm, I used the pipe cleaning brushes you use b-4 sweating copper, to clean the threads in the fitting in the wall as much as I could b-4 installing the new arm. They showed a narrow PTFE tape, on the video, but their thread may have been different. I always use Pipe dope with TFE in it best of both worlds. For a 2 valve shower, turn off the water supply outside, open a hose bib, then water pressure will drain out. Before you put the shower arm escutcheon, you can shine a flashlight inside the wall to see if it leaks. Always flush the shower arm by turning on the water to clear any debris before putting on the shower head. What ever you do, do not buy the Glacier Bay shower head arm, the threads are not true NPT standards, its made in China. Hope this helps anyone who watches in 2018 :)

what if it shoots out where the new showerhead is attached?

im trying to unhook the toilet hose but the plastic turning part is stuck. whats an easy way to remove the toilet hose?

good vid

Extremely helpful. Thanks.

Mine is on the side and doesnt go in right...

Mike did a great job explaining how to change the shower arm. The only thing I would have liked to see was the inside of the wall with a flash light before the new arm was attached. I do not know why I am so paranoid about this... I think it is because I understand how much new damage can be done if this leaks. I may bite the bullet and give it a shot. Earlier in the day so I can call for help if need. Thanks Mike! I'll be sure to check out ur other videos.

Nicely done. Planning to replace kitchen faucet this weekend. Your video has increased my confidence to try this on my own.

can plumbers dope be a substitute for tape

Thank you for the great explanation.

Excellent Explanation! Thank you

This is my favorite subject. Nothing like years of service for the old toilet 🚽. Hey thanks Mike

crazy question is there different size Threads for Shower arm? or is there just one Standard? basically have to buy a specific brand part?

can you explain why had a bracket at the end in the pipe, star liking and try to replace but yours doesen't have it.

Just wondering why you didn't scrape the old caulk off the floor and reapply when sitting the lower unit on? Great video but just curious...

Well Done. There are too many DIY'er videos that try to figure out how the flappers work where they don't understand it and waste everyone's time. Your video is concise and to the point, with many variations of the solutions. Thank You !

I was lost in trying to install my countertop water filtration system. Thank you with great appreciation for your video on how to correctly install my water filter system.

So if the bolts were so solid they had to be cut, why would the toilet wobble if it was secured tight enough? I get the flange needed fixed regardless but I don't see how that is the reason it would wobble. To me and I'm not a plumber tight bolt would mean the elimination of the wobble problem.

Will you come fix mine! Thanks for the video Mike!

I appreciated the detailed steps and walk through. I had to do this recently and had NO IDEA what was going on. This video was the best of a bunch that I watched and I appreciated each step.

This tutorial was a life saver. My husband passed away last year and was Mr. Fix It. I've been determined to do these household projects on my own and your video helped me do just that. Thank you so much!

Thanks, definitely a weekend upgrade coming.

Just saved about $100.00 plumbing bill by changing out my old flapper with a new one. Thanks for the "how to"!!
