Thank you so much for this video. I didn’t even need to purchase the brass pipes because my pipe was long. I replaced it in less than 15 minutes and I’m a 69 year old woman. Now I can add plumber to my resume!🤪

Wow! Who would have thought replacing a tub spout would be as easy as this? I always feared it would require major plumbing work. Thanks for this tutorial video!!

[gregorygregson]

Thanks. Very thorough and professional. I watched a vid of a weekend handyman/non-plumber do the install and yours is far more thorough. Although he did recommend buying a pizza during the install which was very helpful.

Clear instructions, clear visuals, no bull, up to the point. Thanks!

[djenkin]

Exactly what I needs. Explained everything, clear image and audio, and to the point. Thanks!

It is very clear understanding even if no English country user. My tenant broke the spout but i cannot find plumber today cause Thanks giving . I am so lucky to find your video. Thank you so much❤ and HAPPY THANKS GIVING 🎉

I like you. I'm a Handy Ma'am and I could have seen how to do this logically. BUT you, my man helped me to make sure it was done right, especially with the gaskets. Thank you.

Seriously, that's one of the best "how to" video I've seen in a long time; precise and to the point and you seem to do the job thouroughly. Thanks.

I watched 5 videos on tub faucet swaps, and this was easily the most comprehensive. Thank you!

[yuyuchang]

I had troubles of replacing the bathtub spout. After watching your video and trying your technique, it is done! The section of your explanation of the differences of thread and slip-on is very helpful. Your technique of removing the bathtub spout is great. A wonderful video to help me getting my job done. Thank you!

[GWCRafter]

Thank you. After watching this video, I was able to remove and replace my faulty tub faucet and it's working great now. Much appreciated.

You are the man, Ive been putting off replacing these basic componenets because I really didnt want to spend a few hours fumbling around and figuring it out. This is clean, concise and easy to understand. Thank you.

I think the dough plus the tape is overkill, but it’s a good and cheap precaution. Alcool, blue tape. Very professional. I love this. No short cuts.

[toniahillrobinson]

Easy to follow!!!! Thanks for not making this job super complicated.

[endopaxd.]

Excellent video covering both types of bath tub spouts. Especially liked his smoothing the end of the copper pipe and lubricating the channel of the new spout in order to increase its longevity. Thanks for your assistance.

[Brian-styn]

I didn't know a slip on was an option. Thankful I found this video since I was very confused how to replace my faucet.

[delrod]

I have 0 plumbing experience. I did this successfully with no issues. I can’t believe how much easier my faucet turns. Thank you sir!

[RainbowMama]

I have the daunting task of needing to replace my faucet due to a faulty diverter. This video has given me the confidence I need!

[shermanstenson]

Excellent information and instructions. I've been an engineer for 40 years, and thought all spouts were threaded. Glad to learn about the set-screw type, or I'd have been trying to turn the current spout off, causing damage. I'll be able to make this replacement in about three minutes now. Much appreciated.
