Q:i got the old faucet off just fine, but am having trouble reconnecting the water supply. every time i try to screw it on it starts out fine when i twist it on with my fingers, but as soon as i try to tighten it further with the basin wrench both hot and cold lines screw on very crooked. after a couple of tries i thought maybe it wouldnt cause that much of a problem so after i turned them as far as they would go i turned the valves back on to see and water sprayed everywhere. what am i doing wrong?

Oh I bet you got the wrong sized supply lines. Take one back off and compare it side by side with the old one. I bet ya, I bet ya!

Q:It slides around constantly. I can even lift it 3/4 inch upwards and see the pipes underneath in their little holes. I have felt under there with my fingers but I don't know what I'm feeling for to try and tighten it. What is the mechanism that tightens it to my sink, and how do I go about fixing it?

since your faucet has come loose to the point you can lift it, its not a matter of simply tightening the nuts. you will need to use plumbers putty to seal the deck of the faucet before tightening it down. if you skip this small step, you will have water infiltration into the cabinet. after resealing with putty, simply use a basin wrench and torque down the two plastic or brass metasl nuts. this shouild fix your issue

Q:Taiwan basin with a single hole is good or three holes of the good, what are the advantages and disadvantages

From the operation, single-hole basin mixer, adjust the water temperature, the flow is more convenient, a handle can be adjusted. The adjustment of the three holes will be more trouble, to twist the two handles several times before it can be transferred to the appropriate temperature.

Q:It's very important that I do this the right way. (I sort of told the people I was working with that I knew how....but I don't) I bought a new faucet from Lowe's, and it has instructions on the back but I think I'm missing something. They also said something about the plumbing being bad and hard to work with? I've never done any kind of plumbing in my life.

You'll need to purchase a tap that matches the middle to middle size of your sink.I endorse Price Pfister, will rate just a little extra, however will final ceaselessly. Turn off the close off valves on scorching and bloodless. There's this distinctive wrench. Looks like a circular steel rod with a tee manage at one finish, and variety of a part moon with enamel at the different finish. Cost approximately $10. The toothed finish may also be swiveled for loosening(counterclockwise) or tightening. Use the device to loosen either side. And cast off the historic tap. If imperative, change the bendy hose or pipe that connects the tap to the copper pipe. Don't skimp in this, a couple of greenbacks extra will make the task alot less difficult. Fittings will need to fit on each ends of the bendy hose. Apply plumbers putty to the threads as you construct. Don't over tighten. When it is in combination, open the close off valves and verify for leaks.

Q:I'm having a problem with my 35154678 year old bathroom faucet.Leaking has always been a slight problem but I've always somehow been able to get it to stop if I close the faucet REALLY tightly. However, today I tried to turn the faucet shut, and the thing just popped and doesn't stop turning! It goes around and around from weak water flow to strong water flow, without the usual "resistance" before the water finally stops. So basically, I can't shut off the water flow by using the usual faucets and I have to use the main faucets underneath the sink.Gee, I sure hope I'm making sense.I guess it is time for a replacement, but can anyone tell me what might have broken to cause this? Will repairing this be as easy as simply replacing the O-rings, or do I need a plumber?

It's best to just replace old faucets. Modern technology offers far superior valving than what you have. Call a plumber. Most plumbers will give you low cost or free estimate to repair or replace it and have enough experience to recommend what is best. Older faucets sometimes can be very difficult to replace, best to save your knunckles and let a pro take care of it. Avoid cheap faucets, ones that are made in Mexico or China. Expect to pay at least $ 100 for a good faucet. Good luck.
