Step-by-step instructions
Step 1
Confirm the sink’s hole count, spread, deck thickness, supply connection sizes, and drain compatibility before purchasing the faucet.
Step 2
Close both fixture shutoff valves, open the faucet to relieve pressure, and place a bucket and towels below the connections.
Step 3
Disconnect the supply lines, remove the mounting hardware and old faucet, then clean the sink deck without scratching the finish.
Step 4
Install the new gasket, faucet, and mounting hardware in the manufacturer’s sequence; keep the faucet aligned while tightening evenly.
Step 5
Connect new correctly sized supply lines without twisting or over-tightening, and install the drain only if it is part of the planned scope.
Step 6
Open the shutoffs slowly, flush the aerator as directed, and inspect every joint with dry tissue immediately and again after several operating cycles.
Plumbing work can cause water damage. Shut off both hot and cold water before starting, confirm the valves hold, and consult a licensed plumber if shutoffs leak, supply piping is corroded, connections do not match, or any step is uncertain.
