Clear and concise instructions in less than 3 minutes gets over a million views whereas the 19 minute tutorial struggles to get 50k views! You don’t have to be redundant when your clear and concise! I applaud this video wholeheartedly!

4 seasons plumbing quoted me $665 for this exact job. Thank God for sharing.

"5 min." It took me three and a half hours and I ended up flooding the bathroom.

But I did finish the job. Thanks AMRE!

I followed this video and replaced 2 drains in my home. It was a lot easier than I expected. Thank you for such a clear, concise explanation!

With $40 in parts and supplies, I was able to successfully replaced a rotted-out bathroom sink drain using these instructions. Thank you very much!

Stephanie kept it simple for the stupid (moi, par example) and her instruction was perfect. And she looked fabulous. Many thanks. 👍🇨🇦

[dcell]

[nostromo]

Add my voice to the praise I see in comments. Very clear and VERY easy on the eyes... w/respect, thanks very much.

Why can’t all videos be this simple and to the point. Notice she didn’t waste the first 5 minutes talking gibberish!!!! She also didn’t waste valuable time saying “ as you can see” or other waste of words or time. Thanks Stephani!!

[dougliddle]

Excellent job !!
I did it. We did it, as I couldn’t have fixed my bathroom drain without you !!
Very concise, well laid-out procedure. 👍🏻👏

I was dreading looking this up because I am in the middle of a plumbing mess. But this was the first video I came across and it made the project so much simpler and clearer. It got right to the point and explained it perfectly.

Totally just replaced two rotted and leaking double sink drains. This was a fantastic and simple video. Thank you!

Before using plumbers putty, make sure the plumbers putty is compatible with the material being used on. Most plumbers putty state not to be used on stone products. The putty can have a grit and oil that over time will cause discoloration around the drain. Silicone caulk works just fine and will not discolor around the drain. The newer plumbers putty that are available are more compatible but read the container prior to using.

Great instructions! For me, Step 2 was time consuming. I could not get the nut off the pipe, it just spun the whole drain assembly around. Trip to big box store to get channel locks. That didn't help, so I got under the sink with a pipe wrench (knowing that was the end of the old piping) and the channel locks which slipped off the .25" thick nut constantly. After 15 minutes of this, got out from under the sink and tried reaching under and managing the tools by feel. Nope. Back under the sink, re-positioned wrench and channel locks a few more times until I got them both engaged. That sucker was on there TIGHT! Once it budged, I knew that was the end of the roadblock. It took over an hour. Next, the new drain assembly was an inch shy of the P trap- back to big box store for a 6" inch extension in PVC of course. The other five minutes of the job was easy. Thanks so much for this video.

Thanks for your quick and concise instructional video. Too many people go on and on about repairs and scenarios, when all you need is a straightforward how to guide and you did a great job!

Thank you for the reply. I never though anyone would reply to my comments- got used to no reply at other sites- The reason for my comments was that when I purchased a box containing all different plastic tubes, P-traps, etc.., there was a white teflon tape. SO I automatically assumed it must be used. Your explanation makes reale sense. Also, the tape video whose link you sent me is excellent and answered my questions! Thank you, again!!

One of the best tutorials on the subject to date. Exactly what I needed. Thank you.

[crazystax]

I followed ever step. #excellent Video
