How to Replace a Faucet

Faucet replacement

You’ll Need:

• Adjustable wrench

• Groove joint pliers

• Bucket and towel

• Plumber’s tape (Teflon tape)

• New faucet
  

  Step 1: Turn Off the Water Supply

  Locate the shut-off valves under the sink and turn off the water supply. Open the faucet to release any remaining water pressure. Step 2: Disconnect Water Lines

  Place a bucket underneath to catch any water. Use an adjustable wrench and/or Groove joint pliers to loosen and disconnect the hot and cold water supply lines from the faucet.

Step 3: Remove the Old Faucet

Unscrew the mounting nuts holding the faucet to the sink.

Gently lift the faucet out and clean the sink area of any old plumber’s putty or debris. Step 4: Install the New Faucet

Follow the instructions from the new faucet package.

Insert the faucet into the mounting holes and secure it in place with

the provided nuts. Step 5: Connect Water Supply Lines

Wrap the threads with plumber’s tape.

Connect the hot and cold water lines to the correct inlet ports and tighten

with a wrench—don’t overtighten. Step 6: Turn On Water & Check for Leaks

Slowly open the shut-off valves.

Turn on the faucet and let it run for a minute.

Check underneath for any leaks. Tighten connections if necessary. That’s it — enjoy your leak-free faucet! If you’d rather skip the hassle, we’re happy to help at Argo Plumbing — professional service, no mess, done right the first time.
