how to install Basin Faucet

Installing a basin faucet is a manageable DIY task if you're comfortable working with plumbing fixtures. Here's a step-by-step guide for installing a typical deck-mounted basin faucet:

Tools & Materials Needed

Basin faucet kit (includes faucet, washers, nuts, etc.)

Basin wrench or adjustable wrench

Plumber’s tape (Teflon tape)

Bucket or towel (to catch water)

Silicone sealant or plumber’s putty (if recommended)

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Turn Off Water Supply

Shut off the hot and cold water valves under the sink.

Open the existing faucet to relieve pressure.

2. Remove Old Faucet (if applicable)

Disconnect water supply lines using a wrench.

Loosen and remove mounting nuts.

Lift the old faucet out and clean the sink surface.

3. Assemble the New Faucet

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Attach gaskets or apply plumber’s putty/silicone if required at the base.

4. Insert Faucet into Sink Holes

Place the faucet through the designated hole(s) in the basin.

5. Secure Faucet Under the Sink

From below, slide on mounting hardware (rubber or metal washers and nuts).

Tighten securely using a basin wrench.

6. Connect Water Supply Lines

Attach the hot and cold water supply lines to the faucet tailpieces.

Use plumber’s tape on threaded fittings for a tight seal.

Tighten with a wrench but avoid over-tightening.

7. Test for Leaks

Turn water supply back on.

Open the faucet and check for leaks under the sink and around the base.

Tighten or reseal as needed.

8. Optional: Install Pop-Up Drain

If your faucet includes a drain assembly, follow the included instructions to install it.
