Replaced Kitchen and Bathroom Faucets!
Well Yesterday I spent most of the Day replacing the Faucets on both Sinks!
After nearly 20 Years of use both were worn out and kinda Ugly!
New ones look and function much better!
Issues encountered:
The New Moen Kitchen Faucet comes with supply lines permanently attached so I had to chop off the Pex and install some Supply Shut Offs! Easy enough ,but the space under the Sink was awkward for this Old Boy!
I could have used Sharkbite connectors ,but they didn't have them at my hardware store so borrowed their Crimper and went with the Pex push on and rings!
The New Danze Bathroom Faucet hooked right up. They were on clearance at Canadian Tire. Came in Gold to match the existing decore!
I couldn't use the Push/Pull drain and down pipe cecause the Still perfectly good sink didn't have an overflow ,so I installed a new Push on Push off Drain plug assembly,designed I think for laundry tubs. It works fine and was exactly the same length as the El Cheapo Plastic thing that came standard in the Dutch Star!
I'm pretty sure that I could have done the install in under an hour except Im getting Old and not as flexible! Also the Engineers who built the Under Sink space obviously never intended the original Faucets and Sinks to ever be replaced by simple Humans!
