Plus, installing a new faucet is an easy project for a beginning do-it-yourselfer.

In this video, we’ll show you how to install a basic, pull-out faucet in your kitchen sink. But before we get started, here are a few things to keep in mind. Even though we’ll be installing a faucet in the kitchen, the same principles apply to installing any faucet. Also, you should know that different faucets may have different configurations. For example, bathroom faucets may have a pop-up drain attached. Some faucets have a single handle, or a mixer, and others have two handles. Whatever the configuration of your faucet, you’ll always be hooking up the hot and cold water lines as well as a bolt that holds the faucet to the sink. You’re going to need a few basic plumbing tools for this project, so be sure to check out our Tools and Materials checklist for a complete list of everything you need. Let’s get started by removing the old faucet. Like with most plumbing projects, we’ll start by turning off the hot and cold water shut-off valves, which are usually located in the cabinet directly under the sink.

When you’re finished, open up the faucet to relieve the pressure. Next, use an adjustable wrench and a pair of channel locking pliers to disconnect both of water lines from the faucet. If you suspect the supply lines are old and gaskets worn out, you might consider replacing them with flexible supply lines like the ones I’m holding here. Underneath the sink, use a basin wrench or a socket wrench to remove the nut holding the faucet tailpiece assembly in place. If your existing faucet has a spray hose, you’ll also want to disconnect the line that connects the hose to the faucet. Sometimes it’s easier to pull the faucet out and disconnect it from above. When you’re finished pull the faucet out and clean the area on the sink where the old faucet was located. Now you’re ready to install the new faucet. Most sinks today have three holes to accommodate the faucet. Measure the distance, center to center, of the outside holes of your sink to make sure the new faucet will fit.

And always be sure to read the manufacturer’s instructions. When you set the new faucet in place, you’ll need something to seal the base. Some faucets, like ours, have a gasket that goes between the sink and the faucet. If yours does not have one, apply a bead of plumber’s putty along the groove around the plate. This will keep water from dripping down into the sink cabinet. If you have a gasket, put it on the lip of the plate, and with the plate in place, go ahead and thread the hoses through the plate and place the faucet on the sink. Underneath the sink, thread on the flange and the nut that will hold the faucet to the sink using a basin wrench or a socket wrench. If you’re installing a pull out faucet, you’ll also need to add the weight that will retract the pull-out spray back into the faucet and connect the pull out spray water lines. Next, attach the supply lines to the faucet and then to the shut-off valves below. Remember, hot water goes on the left and cold water connects on the right.
