Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Turn Off the Water Supply
Locate the shut-off valves under the sink and turn them clockwise to stop the water flow. Place a bucket underneath to catch any drips.
Step 2: Disconnect the Old Faucet
Use a wrench to loosen the nuts connecting the water lines to the faucet. Unscrew the mounting nuts under the sink to remove the old unit.
Step 3: Prepare the New Faucet
Read the manufacturer’s instructions. Attach the supply lines and wrap plumber’s tape clockwise around the threaded ends to ensure a tight seal.
Step 4: Install the New Faucet
Position the new faucet through the sink’s mounting holes. Secure it from below with the provided nuts and tighten with a wrench.
Step 5: Connect Water Lines
Attach the supply lines to the shut-off valves and hand-tighten, then use a wrench for a snug fit. Avoid over-tightening to prevent damage.
Step 6: Test for Leaks
Turn the water supply back on and check for leaks at all connections. Run the faucet to ensure proper flow and adjust if needed.
