I just love how easily the handles pop off the faucet in your video. I have exactly the same Delta Faucet model on my tub - it took nearly two hours to pry/saw off the handles that got completely welded to the stems. That is - after successfully removing the set screws...

[kencanette]

I'm in the process of buying a new house and at the inspection we found the tub faucet leaking . Thanks for the video now I know it won't be too hard to fix

[jeffreyfranz]

thanks! when you were checking the valves for shut-off and water flow at the end, I would suggest having a plastic 'tub/bucket' to contain the potential water flow.

[VSD]

Thanks for the video! Seeing how you removed the tub made it easy for us to remove ours. However, we're not so sure about how remove the tiled plywood surrounding the tub. I would have liked actually seeing how you did it instead of just saying it peels open like an orange. To complicate the situation, we have a layer of drywall cemented between the tile and the plywood. It's quite thick. I am overwhelmed.

[Lemoi]

Great tip about removing the framing to make the tile removal easier.

[MrGracentruth]

Thanks for helping me see how to uninstall my Roman Style Tube Faucet. :) There aren't too many videos out there showing removal/install for this particular style. #extraThanks

[ChadToney]

Now I need to know how to seal off drain and rough-in and make it a normal floor.

6:39, that's the funniest shit you love to see in Jeff's videos.

[johndough]

Comment of concern… we hear Heavy breathing for very little activity…. Any associated health problems?

We have a 1995 garden tub. We would like to replace the old handles and spigot faucet. So we have found a new one that we like but it's not the same brand. There's no access panel to the pipes under the tub. Are there any adapters that you know of that you can use to change from brand to brand when doing this type of replacement? And a advice would be so helpful. We hate to have to take out tile on the side just to get to access but we know we may have to if there's no other choice. Thanks

[denispoirier]

Great Video ! I want to replace mine with another the same size, but the faucet is on the end on the new one. Can I just drill holes to accommodate the new one ?

[jirojosephesman]

Good day(..the one a friend had is not the handle bar but plastic knob)
Any how to video to replace faucet..it's wobbly (same bathtub).. any how to
Thank you have a blessed day and be blessed

[renesanchez]

by the plumbing code book each ficture has to have p trap( but also you can do it one trap on this case) vertical distance from the fixture outlet to the trap weir shall not exceed 24"

I have a fiberglass roman tub that I am trying to remove to change out the faucet. I have a hole cut out through the plywood at the vertical front but that will not allow me sufficient space to de-solder the old faucet tubes and solder the new new ones. I need access from the inside, so that means removing the tub. I plan on re-tiling as well. I have removed tiles from the walls and the vertical ones around the tub, but the horizontal tiles around the tub are really hard to remove - there is a thickness of thinset underneath them (I think about 1/4" or so) on top of plywood that sits atop a 2"X10" wood board for rigidity. The tiles and thinset were placed after the tub, so they are binding the lower lip of the tub. I have tried breaking the bind by hammering a narrow putty knife into the bond area between the tub and the tiles/thinset all the way around the tub, but it's still binding. With the exception of a short length where I can pry up the tub, the remainder of the perimeter does not want to come up. Do you have any suggestions to free the tub loose without damaging the tub?

[akyfong]

Is it an Allen key you use to remove the spout?

[kimmyw]

i have a tub like that in the house, but the after taking out the screw, their is a small needle like inside the spout. What kind of tools is best to remove it?

[kermitefrog]

Great video. I haven't seen any of the programs on over the air TV in the south end of the San Joaquin Valley in California so I tune into YouTube.
I am trying to take out a Roman tub in a mobile home. Unfortunately they don't have a set screw or allen screw in the back of the faucet and I am a bit baffled on how to take the faucet off. I really liked the recent video on working with metal studs.

[PCHelp-ctvq]

Hey Jeff, have you done a video on installing a free standing tub yet? I have an older 80's sunken tub on a concrete slab and want to update it.

[rafaelsantiago]

Thank you. that help me to get my job done.

[erinrindenau]

I love your video! I have the handles and faucet off but there is another piece on the valve that won't screw off and is preventing it from dropping through. I wish I could add a pic but I'm not that savvy.
