Today I’m going to be showing you how to repair a leaking high-rise faucet. It’s showing it’s leaking at the neck here. See all the water coming out? That’s not right. It’s going to be leaking down below, and we don’t want that. Anyway, for this repair, we don’t need to turn the water off. If you have a single handle faucet, for that type of repair you would need to turn the water off. A lot of times, this one you can do by hand, this one here. Just turn it out.

If you did need to use a pair of channel locks, you’re going to want to protect your jaws with tape like so, to prevent marring the neck here. You also could use a strap wrench for this, which is a lot better than channel locks. Because channel locks could deform the neck if you were to squeeze it too tight, it could deform or reshape the neck as well as mark it up.

But a strap wrench kind of grabs it, tightens down and you can cinch it down and turn it out. But anyway, this one we can do by hand. Inside here, there’s three O-rings, and these are the O-rings that we’re going to need to replace here. Now I already know my sizes of O-rings that I need, but if you don’t know what sizes you need, they do sell an O-ring kit. The stuff that I’m going to be using is pretty stinky.

It’s this faucet grease here, and if you get it on your hands, it’s pretty tough to wash off. Because it’s a high temperature faucet grease and it’s meant to not wash off with water. When you go to repair this, you’re going to want to wear gloves, and a good way to do this is to wear two or three pairs of these disposable gloves.

You’ll see reason I do this is this stuff’s so smelly. What you can do is unwrap the glove, one of the gloves, in order to use your tools and not get the faucet grease all over your tool. Not get the faucet grease all over the outside of the faucet. This faucet is going to be in need of some cleaning afterwards anyway, but that’s another story.

The easy way to get these O-rings off is to use a small flathead screwdriver. I’ve got one in my Leatherman, so it comes in handy for this. And it’s just a matter of picking these off, fairly simple. If you keep them together, you can use that to size up your new O-ring to make sure you’re getting the right size. And all three of these are the same size, so you really only need to keep one together so if you needed to cut it, you could.

Not a big deal. Okay. One, two, three O-rings, another reason for the gloves there. Now what you want to do is coat this so that underneath it, it’ll have a coating of the faucet grease. This stuff can be a little tricky to get apart sometimes, and mine’s getting kind of old. It’s time to order some more faucet grease. So anyway, go underneath where your O-rings are going to go. Okay. Now we’ll slip our new O-rings on. Here’s the first one. Yeah, the gloves are going to make it a little tricky, but it’s what it is, job security.
