1 New Faucet Preparation and Securing
First, shut off the water supply. Remove the old faucet by disconnecting from supply
tubes under sink, and unscrewing the faucet from the countertop by removing mounting
nuts. Next, clean the sink top surface in preparation for the new faucet. Next, remove
both the lock-nut and washer provided, and place faucet on the sink and feed hoses
down through the center hole. Lastly, from below, secure faucet by reattaching lock-nut
and washer and screwing them down until tight. Make sure you tighten the lock nut
before screws.
2 Fastening Deck Plate (Optional)
Apply plumber’s putty or other suitable sealant to the bottom edges of the base plate
(optional). Once applied, align base plate and press into place to firmly attach to the sink.
Lastly, remove excess plumber’s putty and place desk plate onto base plate.
3 Install Faucet Hoses
Securely attach marked supply lines with corresponding hot and cold tubes from faucet.
Tighten all connections with wrench to ensure that no leaking occurs. With all pipe
attachments plumber’s tape can be utilized to help reduce the risk of leaking.
4 Remove Aerator and Flush
Once installation of hoses is complete, remove the aerator. Turn the water supply on and
allow both hot and cold water to run for at least 30 to 60 seconds each. While water is
running, check for leaks around and under the sink. Once done replace aerator.
