Tools Required

Step 1. Shut Off the Water

Okay, warriors, before you embark on this plumbing adventure, remember this golden rule: safety first! Let's kick things off by shutting off the water supply. No one wants an unexpected shower mid-installation!

Step 2. Remove Mounting Hardware

• Shut off the water supply like a boss.
• Bid adieu to the old, worn-out faucet. It's time for a change!
• Give the mounting surface a good scrub. Cleanliness is next to DIY godliness.

Step 3. Installing the Faucet Assembly

• Equip yourself with the waterproof rubber ring (B) and the threaded metal pipe (C).
• Place them on the faucet body (A) in a sequence that would make even a Rubik's Cube jealous!

Step 4. Install Hot and Cold Water Pipes

Swivel those hot and cold water pipes (H) into the faucet body (A). A little twist, a little turn – just like a dance!

Step 5. Install Faucet Body to Countertop

Gently insert the faucet body through the hole in the sink or countertop. It's like guiding Cinderella into her glass slipper!

Step 6. Install Mounting Hardware

Pass the rubber gasket (D), metal gasket (E), and mounting hardware (F & G) through the metal pipe. Tighten them up – we're building the foundation of faucet greatness!

Step 7. Making the Waterline Connections

Thread the nut (1) on the supply line onto the outlet of the water supply valve. Give it a snug tightening with your trusty wrench. But remember, don't overdo it – we're aiming for Goldilocks-level tightness.

Step 8. Turn the Faucet On and Check for Leaks

The moment of truth! Turn on those angle stops, then turn the faucet on. But hold your horses – do not turn the faucet on before the installation is complete. No one wants a watery surprise!
