Upgrading your kitchen faucet is a simple way to refresh your kitchen's functionality and style. Whether you're replacing an outdated fixture or installing one for the first time, the process is straightforward with the right approach and tools. At House of Kitchen, we’re here to walk you through the process with this professional yet beginner-friendly guide.
Before you begin, make sure you have everything you need within reach. Essential tools include an adjustable wrench, basin wrench, plumber’s tape, screwdrivers, a bucket, towels, and a flashlight. Don’t forget your new faucet and any additional parts such as supply lines, gaskets, and mounting hardware.
Locate the water shut-off valves beneath your sink. Turn them clockwise to cut off the water supply. Open the faucet to release any residual water and pressure. Use a bucket and towels to catch any dripping water during removal.
Disconnect the water supply lines from the faucet using an adjustable wrench. Use a basin wrench to reach and loosen the mounting nuts beneath the sink. Once the nuts are off, lift the old faucet out and clean the sink surface to remove grime and mineral deposits.
Assemble your new faucet according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Apply plumber’s tape to the threads of the supply lines for a secure, leak-free connection. Insert the faucet into the mounting holes of your sink.
From beneath the sink, secure the faucet using the mounting hardware provided. This step may require a basin wrench for tight spaces. Ensure the faucet is centered and tightly fastened to prevent movement.
Attach the hot and cold water supply lines to the faucet’s inlets. Tighten the connections with an adjustable wrench, but avoid overtightening. Check that all fittings are snug and properly aligned.
Turn the shut-off valves back on slowly and run the faucet. Check for leaks around the connections and underneath the sink. If everything is secure and leak-free, congratulations—you’ve installed your faucet like a pro!
Work with a helper to hold the faucet in place during tightening. Keep extra plumber’s tape and a flashlight on hand for those tricky, dimly lit areas. If your faucet includes a sprayer or filtration system, consult the installation guide for any specific instructions.
