Jeff. Yet another detailed job that you make look easy. Just wanted to point out a small detail that you maybe didn't film but when testing a faucet (or new plumbing, or etc), always remove any aerators/flow restrictors at the spigot before turning on the water for the first time. Otherwise, they'll catch any debris in the lines and/or fixtures that can then cause uneven or blocked water flow. Otherwise, keep the great videos coming.

I agree on your statement about silicone, I always make sure that I buy good old acetoxy silicone. Chemistry somewhat disagrees with the statement of good silicone stinks: the "stinky silicone" is based on the acetoxy cure: look for methyltriacetoxysilane and ethyltriacetoxysilane or acetic acid on the label (the acid in vinegar ) fumes are what you smell. Very good bonding to almost everything, it cures very well, faster than the label says, *but it can corrode metals and discolor stones*. The other types are oxime and neutral cure, and they both bond almost as well and some have better characteristics for flexibility/tensile. But even though they state that they are water ready in 30 minutes, their fast skin time makes them very slow to cure to depth. The crappy silicones you refer to are probably not even silicone but hybrids.

The problem with steel is that it rots. And just when you're doing some kind of cleanout, it breaks out. Happened more than once to me. Plastic will never do that. Plastic also conforms better to a seal. It's not good for everything, but quite often its still a great option. Also, you should always install the faucet if you can on that sink before installing it. I thought you were making things easier by installing it before you placed the sink? That self is really unnecessary too. Should have killed it. Most sink basin cabinets never have a full shelf in them.

Hello! After attempting (and succeeding!) to change my bathroom’s sink faucet and drain pipes for the first time, I’ve become really interested in learning how to do other things around the house. Now I must ask, what does the spray hose connect to? I didn’t really understand. Also your videos are really well made, the instructions are very clear and I find myself watching them in my free time to learn more. Thanks!
@ringodingo

The spray hose quick-connects to the faucet's combined hot&cold water line. Those 2 seperate water supply lines lead from the shut off valves to the faucet. They combine in some form of mixing chamber and the water is directed down the combined line. This line connects to the spray hose. It's the one you attach the weight to. There might be tape on it to suggest where the weight should be attached. Just below the tape is usually a good location. Jeff can't answer all questions, but I hope this helps.

In my early 30s I did brass under my kitchen sink. In my late 40s, there was seepage, I went to see if it needed tightening and it tore apart in my hands, corroded through. Plastic wins, it's less expensive and lasts more than a decade in my experience, and I see other commenters having found the same thing. Any place with hard/limited access I also would only install something long lasting. Your comment about flipping the place and only needing that faucet to last a year or two made me cringe, especially with that shelf blocking the next person trying to figure out how to remove it without damage! Any particular reason you went with ABS instead of PVC? Again seems not a big savings but not as durable.

For your relief, I bought a sink an expensive sink by Kraus in s.s. very heavy 16 gauge, and the stainer housing is plastic. I am not going to seek a metal strainer. I see your using abs pipes so if the premise is plastic bad then why the pipes of plastic? They do sell 17 gauge chrome plated brass if you want to spend about $45 just for the P-trap (plus the other piping parts you'll need). I have not yet done the pipes but I bought a bunch in PVC, Lowe's did not carry ABS drain pipes in stock. I am trying to find out if ABS is better than PVC, but I did buy "heavy duty" PVC, and so that's what I'll probably end up using.

I respectfully disagree with some things: I would put the rubber gasket and the white, possibly cardboard slip gasket go under the basket strainer between the sink bottom and top of the basket strainer with the plumbers putty under the basket on the top of the sink bottom hole for it. Using the rubber gasket inside the sink allows it to stick out and collect debris, not to mention if the slip gasket IS cardboard it can absorb water and degrade as well, possibly wicking water at some point. I LOVE Sharkbite but I am not a fan of leaving any kind of piping sticking out like that as it makes it too easy to twist and damage or fold/crimp a supply line when you are trying to turn off a line, I would have gone as far as to use a copper stub out such as the sharkbite 90 stubout and perhaps used 1/2" pipe brackets to secure the piping to the walls of the cabinet. I hope you will secure the free supply lines that were on the shelves because rapid changes in water pressures in the system anywhere will make them move around from the pressure of the water hammers and make for a needlessly noisy system.
